We’re happy to help you find the best car seat for your child, and our Best Convertible Car Seats of 2020 lineup is a great place to start. Here are some of the most outstanding car seats available this year, all handpicked by our gear gurus to help your child travel safely!

Britax Boulevard Clean Comfort Convertible Car Seat

The first thing that parents notice when they shop the Britax Boulevard Clean Comfort is the high-tech Clean Comfort fabric. Crafted with stain-, moisture-, and odor-resistant Nanotex technology, Clean Comfort fabrics are plush yet still incredibly easy to keep clean.

In addition to the Clean Comfort textiles, the Britax Boulevard Clean Comfort also features a ton of awesome safety features. While this car seat does not have extended rear-facing capabilities (you child can safely sit in the rear-facing orientation up to 40 lbs), the Britax Boulevard features an anti-rebound bar and super-secure, easy-to-understand ClickTight installation via your car’s seat belt.

UPPAbaby Knox

Brand-new for 2020, the UPPAbaby Knox features a ton of the buzzworthy safety features that every good car seat has, including both seat belt and LATCH installation options, an energy-absorbing base, and rear-facing seating up to 45 lbs. One of the coolest details on the UPPAbaby Knox is its multidirectional tether, which you can hook up in your car to help reduce the rotation of your car seat in a crash by up to 45%. Plus, the UPPAbaby Knox has a non-rethread harness for easy adjustments as your child grows, making it parent-friendly as well as incredibly safe.

Clek Foonf

Similar to the much-loved Nuna PIPA infant car seat, the Clek Foonf installs into your car via ISOFix, making car seat installation a breeze. The Clek Foonf also features a ton of truly impressive safety features, including its Q Tether (essentially a multidirectional tether like the one see on the UPPAbaby Knox), a crash energy-absorbing REACT system within the seat itself, an anti-rebound bar, and extended rear-facing seating capabilities up to 50 lbs.

Of course, the Clek Foonf isn’t just super-safe: it’s also incredibly efficient in terms of space! At only 17 inches wide, the Clek Foonf is narrow enough to stack three across, perfect for families with triplets or multiple children who are close in age. 

Cybex Sirona S

Drumroll, please! Magic Beans is proud to introduce the first swivel car seat sold in the United States...the Cybex Sirona S Convertible Car Seat! Crafted to accommodate a child who weighs up to 65 lbs in rear-facing position and outfitted with three layers of side impact protection, an anti-rebound plate, and a load leg, the Sirona S is incredibly safe. Its real calling card, though, is its ability to swivel!

Here’s how the swivel works: instead of having to uninstall your child’s car seat to face it in a different direction, the Sirona S only needs to be installed once (either via seat belt or via LATCH installation). After the Sirona S is installed, its swiveling seat can lock into either the rear-facing and forward-facing seating options, depending on your needs. Installation indicators on the base of the car seat will inform you if the seat is locked into position. This swivel technology makes it so much easier to get your child in and out of the car, and (alongside the Sirona S’s non-rethread harness) allows you to easily adjust the seat as your child grows. 

Still need a little convincing when it comes to the Cybex Sirona S? You’ll be swayed by the Sirona S’s SensorSafe technology features, which link up to an app on your phone. The SensorSafe alert system will let you know if your child is left in the car or if the environment inside of the car is unsafe, a great feature that provides parents with total peace of mind.
