All infant car seats conforming to either ECE R44 or R129 are safe as long as they are used according to the instructions.

Multi stage ones might not get a great fit for a newborn, so you might need to be more careful with those.

You can save a significant amount by not buying a base and fitting the seat with seatbelt.

This is probably the best deal I can see anywhere at the moment: https://www.kiddies-kingdom.com/birth-15m/54950-britax-romer-baby-safe-core-group-0-car-seat-space-black.html
