  "title": "Lightest Infant Car Seat Bases for Moving Between Cars",
  "question": "Which infant car seat bases weigh the least, for carrying them between vehicles?",
  "answer": "Britax StayTight Base: The review reports that the Arbor car seat base adds about 5.4 lb (2.4 kg) to the seat. Installation is done by lifting the lever, routing the seat belt through the color-coded belt path, buckling, and lowering the lever to lock it.\nMaxi-Cosi Ambra Infant Car Seat Base: The base weighs 10.75 lbs.\nNuna PIPA Series Car Seat Base: The base itself weighs 14 lbs. The manufacturer's walkthrough shows the lower anchors rotating out of storage, clicking onto the vehicle anchors until indicators turn green, and the whole base going in within about five seconds.\nCybex Cloud G Base: The base weighs 15.1 pounds. Rigid LATCH connectors click onto the vehicle's lower anchors, and the maker claims the install takes about 5 seconds.\nMaxi-Cosi Peri 180 Rotating Infant Car Seat Base: The base weighs 16.65 lbs. Threading the belt or LATCH through the belt path can be fiddly, so reading the manual fully first is advised; an install video helps visual learners.\nClek Liing Infant Car Seat Base: The base weighs 17 lb. The reviewer reported installing the Liing with rigid LATCH in under five minutes.",
