There is nothing that beats the "Infant Love Seat" for very small infants.
It is a basket like device made out of very tough plastic and is set back-
wards in the seat.  The advantage is that you can also use it as a child 
carrier and a sleeping infant can be put into/removed from the car without
waking him/her up.  It is made by Century Products.  One disadvantage, last 
I knew anyhow, is that it is not FAA certified due to a technicality of the
FAA regulations that prevents any such design from being certified, no matter 
how effective.  Of course this doesn't matter if you aren't planning on flying
with the infant.
