The Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation's second-largest public school district in the nation, announced Friday that it will lift face-covering requirements for students and staff - a day after New York City's health commissioner said children under five will be masked 'indefinitely' at school.
Nuna
The Nuna Pipa is another popular premium infant car seat. The Pipa is compatible with a long list of strollers, including the many stylish offerings from Nuna. The seat itself uses flame resistant materials without added fire-retardant chemicals. There's also a two-position canopy with a "Dream Drape" that pulls out and attaches to the bottom of the seat with magnets for full baby coverage.
Having the ability to take my daughter out of the car and instantly roll her into a store for a quick errand was a game-changer. I was able to stealthily hoist the seat out of the car, transform it into a stroller, and venture into the store without her waking up. Pressing my luck, I drove to another store and did it again, turning what would have been a 10-minute nap into a 45-minute one. This is nothing new if you have an infant car seat and compatible stroller, but not having to dig the rolling portion of the travel system out of the trunk each time saves you a lot of trouble (not to mention your back). I could see the Doona being a lifesaver for parents with small cars and/or limited cargo space.

"There are a range of seats and no two are the same," she says. "We all have the challenge of learning to use something new correctly, but it is important for parents to feel confident in how their seats operate. If there is a lot of frustration or confusion with certain aspects of the car seat, it may be beneficial to look for a system that the caregivers feel more confident in using. Reading the car seat owner's manual and referring to the manufacturer for resources is a great start. Caregivers can also find a certified CPST to help them navigate how their car seat operates."

Most California school districts lifted their masks mandates earlier this week, although San Diego Unified School District will wait to drop their mandate until students return from spring break on April 4.
Meanwhile, although New York City lifted its indoor mask mandate on March 7, newly-minted health commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said Friday that masking public school children under five in the city is 'indefinite at this point.'
"Spacing in a vehicle can also be an issue," she continues. "If the space in the back seat is limited, parents may have difficulty achieving the recommended installation angle or the vehicle seat in front may interfere with the installation. If the seat is too short for the recommended amount of a car seat's footprint to sit according to the manufacturer's instructions, then you will need to look for a seat that is compatible with the vehicle."

The modern car seat landscape is indeed overwhelming for the uninitiated, but the wealth of choices out there means there's a car seat for just about every need. Once you get an idea of what's available and narrow down the best car seats for what you want, you'll be able to choose the perfect seat for your little one. To help you on your car seat journey, I rotated my kids' butts through eight of the best seats available today. Keep reading to find out which ones should be on your radar.
With its fancy rotating mechanism, the Revolve 360 is heavy. But unless you need to move it from car to car, you only have to carry it one time. The seat portion also separates from the base to make transporting it a bit easier and to allow access to the harness belts for adjustment. Indicators on either side of the base let you know when the seat is properly locked in position. Though the seat locks securely in place every time, I noticed a faint rattle when going over bumps and rough patches of road.
As its name implies, the Grow and Go All-in-One grows with your child, going from rear-facing to forward-facing to a belt-positioning booster seat. The seat is relatively light and installs easily using clip-style LATCH hooks. The LATCH belt cinches down with little effort, providing a tight fit to the seat cushions. The seat fabric is breathable and is quick to remove for easy cleaning. The cup holders are also easy to keep clean, unscrewing with a quarter twist so you can wash out all the juice and milk residue that will inevitably build up.
