New parents have a lot to worry about, from cribs to clothes and diapers and toys—but none of those purchases may be as important as the car seat.

Despite the importance of the car seat, there's so many options and varieties that the choice can be daunting for new parents to navigate.

Consumer Reports has launched a new tool to help alleviate that issue by allowing parents to go through a step by step questionnaire to identify what seat they need and the best seat to buy for every budget.

The tool will ask you some details, like what age child you're searching for, what size car you drive, and what your budget is, before recommending some seats that fit your needs.
