Thanks you for your respond, but I'm a really safe driver...in my 15 years of driving, I've only had 3 times of accident, all minor (just back light damage or back bumper). I've never bang anyone. Of course I am aware that I cannot control other driver's attitude..

And nope, I am not driving a potong car, my last car was a Kia CBU unit and my current is a CX 5. Putting that aside, I see alot of seats in the market and being a first time, I am rather overwhelmed as to which is actually a need, a better need or choice. Not asking about brand but merely what do I need to prepare/know or aware of before a newborn arrives pertaining to purchasing the ride seat for the baby, if I should buy an infant carrier for the 1st years (since I only read 1 article that says infant carrier has a better incline posture for the newborn spine) and then migrate to a convertible car seat when the baby has outgrown the carrier or I could get the convertible car seat straight away.

So I need some insight here from from you all
