You'll enjoy convenience, versatility and economy with convertible
car seats, since they can be used facing toward the rear,
which is required for newborns and small babies,and can then be turned
to face forward once the child is past 20 or 25 pounds in weight.
These are larger than infant car seats and can be used longer, though
they don't double as carriers, as some infant models that come with
carrying handles do. Nevertheless, they remain a highly popular choice
because of their versatility and how long they can be used.
