Infant and baby car seats are one of those essential pieces of the parenting experience. Finding one that works for you can make a world of difference for new parents. Among our testers, this new Baby Trend 4-in-1 racked up high scores across the board. The first great impression it left was that it installed quickly and easily. The instructions were clear, and among those who had previous car seat experience, they noted that the installation process was more straightforward than other car seats. Next up is the design. Overall, the color combo of black and red was met with approval. The cushioning is plush and comfortable. It was apparent to parents that Baby Trend made a great effort in this department. Another great feature is the canopy. Many convertible car seats do not even have one. This one does, plus it provides a nice amount of extra coverage on the sides to block out the sun. This is a hefty seat, not the most slender, so you will want to consider the size of your car before taking the plunge. But for larger cars, it fits well without dominating the rear seat. Finally, parents had nothing but high praise for the price point of $150. They felt the value and quality were an unbeatable combination.
