Affiliate disclosure

Plain and up front, the way the FTC requires: here's exactly how CarSeatFit earns money, and — just as important — what that does and doesn't change.

How we make money

Everything on CarSeatFit — the fit finder, the rankings, the per-seat and per-vehicle pages — is free. We pay for the work through the Amazon Associates Program. When you click a "Check price on Amazon" button and buy, Amazon pays us a small commission. We are currently completing our Amazon Associates application; until it's approved those links work normally but earn nothing. It costs you nothing extra — the price is the same whether you use our link or not.

What it does NOT change

• Our rankings are driven only by computed fit (does the seat fit your child and your car?) and NHTSA Ease-of-Use ratings. We do not move a seat up because it earns us more.
• We don't hide seats that aren't on Amazon, and we don't pad the list with seats that don't fit.
• The NHTSA ratings, weight/height limits, widths, and three-across math are identical whether or not you ever click a link.

Why Amazon search links

Our buy buttons open an Amazon search for the exact seat model rather than a single fixed product listing. That's deliberate: car-seat listings, bundles, and fabric colors change constantly, and a search reliably lands you on the current, in-stock options for that model — instead of a dead or substituted listing.

We're independent

CarSeatFit is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by NHTSA, Amazon, or any car-seat or vehicle manufacturer. The car-seat companies don't pay us to be listed or ranked. See our terms and methodology for the full picture.
