  "question": "Which infant car seats can a single adult install quickly and easily without help?",
  "answer": "Nuna PIPA urbn: Nuna says pipaFIX rigid latch can install in 2 seconds, subject to instructions for final adjustments. The PIPA urbn installs without a separate base using integrated pipaFIX rigid latch, intended for quick transfers between cars, taxis and rideshares.\nChicco KeyFit 35 ClearTex: The LATCH base installed in under five minutes with a built-in level, and it was easy to remove when switching cars. The seat includes a stay-in-car base.\nUppababy MESA V2 Infant Car Seat Base: The base installs easily; its lower-anchor belt retracts automatically to pull the base snug against the vehicle seat without shoving. The base uses the SmartSecure System with self-retracting mini LATCH connectors and a tightness indicator.\nEvenflo Shyft DualRide: Scored 77 overall, with ease of use 4 of 5, fit-to-vehicle using LATCH 5 of 5, fit-to-vehicle using the belt 5 of 5 and carrier-only fit 4 of 5.",
