Evenflo - NurtureMax Infant Car Seat

U.S. NICU based CPST here- My favorite seat for small babies is the Evenflo Litemax, specifically [this one](https://www.evenflo.com/products/pivot-xpand-travel-system-litemax-infant-car-seat) due to the supportive insert. It has harness adjustments that make it fit small babies *beautifully.* I would personally suggest making the hip and crotch buckle adjustments for a 3-6lb baby yourself prior to bringing the car seat in, because not all nurses (or even CPSTs) realize that these adjustments exist. But when done correctly I don’t think there’s anything else that fits a small baby so well. Some other really great options for 4lb babies at different price points: - Evenflo NurtureMax (also has small baby adjustments I suggest doing yourself- this one is almost as great as the Litemax!) - Chicco Keyfit 22/30/Max - Britax Willow (also has small baby adjustments I suggest doing yourself) - Clek Liing - Nuna Pipa Urbn Seats I’d personally avoid for a 4lb baby: - Graco Litemax line (often fits poorly before 7-8 lbs- it’s fixable with certain techniques but I’d rather have a seat that just fits as designed without all that) - baby trend (some will work well with adjustments but some won’t and they’re all hard to adjust) - Uppababy Mesa (huge headrest + awkward insert = poor head position)
