Which car seat is better if you need to use it without the base?

We live in the city and do not have a car. We literally only use cars when we take cabs or rent cars to travel to see our families. As such, we need a car seat that works well without the base when you need to use it that way (such as in cabs).

We are getting an infant seat. We were planning on getting the Chicco Keyfit 30, but I noticed the Graco Snugride can be used a bit longer because the height and weight limits are a bit more. Also, the Graco is a bit cheaper and both seem to be very safe. Can anyone recommend which might suit our purposes better? Thanks!

    We have the Safety1st Airborne 35 and it has a higher weight limit, so it lasts longer. It also works without the base. Last night we installed the base, but we also tried it without the base just to see.

    Sorry, I can't speak for the car seats you mentioned, but we have the Britax Chaperone (it's a little pricy in store, but on Amazon it's about the same as the Keyfit 30). Anyway, it's extremely safe with or without the base. And it's really easy to install. I don't know about the others, but I know one of the "pros" of this carseat commonly mentioned is its use with or without base. It's a little bigger than the others, but I really love it. It's got a great canopy and really, really quality materials.
