Are regular child seats safer than seats that are also used in strollers?

Stephanie Tombrello (Child Passenger Safety Educator & Executive Director, SafetyBeltSafe USA) gives expert video advice on: What qualities should I look for in a child safety seat?; Is it safe to use an old or second-hand child safety seat?; Can I still use a child safety seat after an accident? and more...

All safety seats that are certified to meet the federal standard have to meet that standard. So whether they can also be part of a stroller or whether, as with one model, the stroller is built into the safety seat itself, the safety seat must meet the standard. So the question of whether a safety seat is safe enough has to do with whether it meets the federal standard or not.
