  "title": "Car seats that are easy to install with lower anchors (LATCH)",
  "question": "Which car seats are easy to install using the vehicle's lower anchors?",
  "answer": "Britax B-Safe Gen2: In Consumer Reports' lab tests the seat scored 5 of 5 for ease of use, 5 of 5 for fit-to-vehicle with LATCH, 5 of 5 with the vehicle belt and 4 of 5 carrier-only, with crash protection rated Better and an overall score of 74. The seat feels well made out of the box, with sturdy base, good fabrics, plastic and connectors; the reviewer singles out the spring-assisted recline, readable level indicators and quick-push LATCH connectors.\nBritax Emblem: The lower connectors click onto the vehicle anchors and release with a button rather than a hook, and the straps pull tight easily afterwards. Reviewers it summarises consistently call the seat simple to install and single out the latch system.\nBaby Jogger City Turn Convertible Car Seat: Installation is easy overall thanks to color-coded paths, push-button LATCH, lock-offs and bubble levels, but the reversible recline wedge can be fitted the wrong way and a base area that looks like a belt path is part of the rotation mechanism.",
