Are travel car seats safe?

I have a one-year-old child, who’s been a joy. The only problem is that I travel frequently, so I often have to travel with my child, as I have no one to look after him. I want to get a travel car seat, but I’m worried about safety issues. Are travel car seats actually safe?
