[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this infant car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I must say, I'm pretty impressed with the car seat. I love how it's light weight, easy to install, and how easy it is to use without even having to open the instructions initially. The fabric is soft and feels breathable. Had my little one in there and he looked like he fit it much better than the one I had previously. My only issue I had was trying to find ensure that the way the car seat was installed that it wouldn't make my child uncomfortable sitting in. My old car seat had a meter to let me visually see if my car seat was sitting too high or too low in the car. This one didn't so it was a bummer but that was really it. The red indicators on the bottom were great to see so that I can see where they latch onto the base. I also appreciated the adjustable head rest instead of having to buy a new insert completely. It's a great first car seat for sure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Safety 1st Onboard LT Infant Car Seat is a practical choice for parents looking for safety and convenience. It has a lightweight design and was easy to install. It was very easy to move between vehicles. The harness was secure on our little one, but the buckles were a little hard to press when undoing it. The fabric was soft, and seemed to have a lot of cushion making it a comfortable ride for our baby. The sunshade was difficult to raise and lower, but once in place it was very secure. Overall, it's a solid option for a car seat. Thank you Stellar Panel for the opportunity to test this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Safety 1st Onboard LT Infant Car Seat is very lightweight, simple, and functional. The gray and black design is simple and nice looking. It’s not luxurious but very functional. The installation process takes a little work. The base has hooks rather than a latch system. If you plan to move the base frequently, then I would recommend getting the version of this with the latch system. It takes a lot of muscle to get it tight. If you have leather seats, it tends to move more as well. Adjusting the straps is super easy and straight forward. By far I liked how lightweight this seat was. My baby is pushing 22 lbs and harder to carry in other car seats compared to this one. He seemed comfortable enough but the straps do not have any cushioning which rub slightly on his neck. If you’re needing a car seat to travel with or in a second vehicle, this is a great lightweight option. Just take note of the base system and perhaps update to a latch system if you need. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this seat to test and review!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this infant car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My first impressions were that it’s a standard infant car seat, but surprisingly light weight. I was almost concerned it felt cheap with how light it was. However, after looking it over and more importantly using it, I feel good in saying it’s a durable and safe car seat. I so appreciate the lightness of this car seat when toting around a baby. I think they got the shape of the car seat perfect. My little one seems quite comfortable in this seat. I have seven children and I’ve tested my fair share of car seats and some are just the wrong slope and shape for babies comfort. I was very impressed with the material of the car seat. It’s very soft and cushy and includes removable newborn inserts. I can already attest that the material spot cleans nicely and is easy to remove and replace for a full wash. I love the gender neutral color. It has a retractable canopy for shade. I love the coverage of the canopy, although I’d note that it clicks loudly when opening and closing. It has standard buckles that are simple to use and adjust. The handle is perfect for carrying by hand or on my arm. The car seat base is lightweight as well and adjustable to get the right fit in your car. The base was simple to install with clear instructions with visuals that are on the base. The clips have nice storage on the base when not in use and have the best buttons to adjust the clips. If you’ve ever installed a car seat base you know not all car seats clips are easy to adjust! Overall, I would purchase this car seat. It’s a great car seat for a great price. Most importantly, I felt my baby was safe and comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was disappointed with this car seat right off the bat, in pulling it out of the box it seemed that the connection between the car seat and the base was not great. I pulled it out and tested to see if it just wasn’t connected all the way; but it was. When the car seat is “locked” on the base it still MOVES up and down a half inch to an inch, and rattles up and down. This does not seem safe to me at all. Because of this I did not feel good about putting my infant in this seat in the car and leaving the driveway. Some other things that were disappointing, but not unsafe were how LOUD it is to adjust the sunshade. I will pull a sunshade more closed if my baby falls asleep, but if I were to do that on this one it would wake the baby. The car seat also didn’t seem very padded or comfy, and the material seemed low quality. And just as a personal preference of mine, I don’t like that it would take two hands to adjust the bar. I have used another well known brands infant car seat that safely clicks into and stays on the base, has a smooth and quiet sunshade, is comfortable for my baby and only needs one hand to adjust the bar. I would not choose this Safety 1st car seat, and would not recommend to friends or family, mainly due to the safety issues of not staying well on the base. My photos included show how much the car seat comes out of the base when “locked” onto it. (I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On first impression of the car seat I was unsure what to think because safety first does have a reputation to be on the cheaper end of baby gear. However I will say I definitely had a few pleasant surprises as we tried out this seat that stellar panel gifted us! Let me break it all down: As far as ease of installation it definitely was one of the less complicated car seats I have set up. I will say that adjusting the harness buckle is a bit more tedious than I had hoped because of the way the fabric loops around the metal piece but it’s not impossible it just took a couple tries to get it right. Other than that the base is simple to buckle into a car and the car seat does click into the base seamlessly. I did feel like there was slightly more wiggle room than I’m used to when then car seat is clicked in to the base but it was not anything crazy. The shape of the seat is definitely a more open and shallow shape which again is not what I had been accustomed to so it felt like my child was slipping slightly forward when I carried the seat however, it definitely looked like a more comfortable fit for a chubbier child! So I would definitely recommend it to parents whose child is just too uncomfortable in slimmer and deeper car seats, this may also allow parents to not have to size up the car seat as quickly as the deeper and slimmer ones! Materials is where this seat lost some points with me. Though the sleek look was definitely achieved I felt like the padding to make the seat more cushioned was lacking and as I inspected the fabric further the longevity of it seemed to have been sacrificed. I just prefer to have my seats look more polished at all times and I fear with this seat I won’t be able to take the fabric and fully clean it without worrying how it could damage it. This is unfortunate because blowouts happen but you’re probably better off only spit treating as needed with this seat. Another point of concern though I know it passes the safety ratings necessary, when I removed some of the fabric to inspect the seat I noticed more foam vs hard plastic than other seats I’ve seen. This is a double edged sword though because it makes the seat amazingly lightweight but could be an issue with the shap holding up as well as if needs to I’m not sure. But the super lightweight feature makes it a perfect fit for c-section mamas! Overall I was impressed with this seat especially at its price point! I would definitely recommend parents to give it a try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it is fantastic! We used Safety First products since our little one was born, and loved them, and this car seat is no exception. It is very easy to install the base, and we actually bought an additional base since we have two cars. It's design allows it to pop right in to my Safety First stroller, making it super versatile. It is even easy to install without a base; so when traveling in someone's car, we don't have additional hassle. It seems comfortable for my little one, and the fabric is easy to clean. I love this car seat and this brand. I plan to remain with Safety First as we graduate to the next size car seat/booster.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat. The look and design of the car seat is attractive. It's very lightweight so easy for mom to carry and install. There are multiple way to install car seat with lower anchors or vehicle seat . The fabric is soft and breathable make my baby few comfortable while seat on. I mostly like the comfortable of the car seat design and material, the manual provides clear instructions for adjustments.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This car seat is a fairly basic model, and most of the latching mechanisms and buttons felt nonintuitive to me (e.g., odd placements on the strap release, sticky clasp for the shoulder buckle, etc.). We used the latch system installation, and were unable to get a secure fit for our midsized sedan—it wobbled significantly no matter what settings we adjusted. The seat is large overall, which is nice for our ever-growing baby, but feels awkward to carry and doesn’t fit through the car door easily due to the handle height. Some things I DID love about this car seat are the washable and dryable seat cover, which is oh-so-smooth; the sleek and aesthetic grey sunshade; the lightweight body making it easier to carry; and the super stable base, which makes it easy to get baby in/out without the seat tipping at all. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this product to test!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Car seat is an A+. It’s affordable, easy to use and SUPER light. I have big babies, my heaviest was just shy of 12lbs! All four were tall and heavy. My 7-month-old is in the 97% for height and I am constantly having to adjust her safety straps, I really like how easy this model is to adjust. The Design of the Safety 1st Onboard LT Infant Car Seat is very straightforward and intuitive. I highly recommend this product. The fabric is a breeze to clean. It is simple to disassemble, (and reassemble) so you can run it through the washer. Honestly, the only “critique” I can find is that the base is slightly larger than some other car seats I’ve used in the past. I’m talking maybe half an inch. That may make a difference to you, just look at the specks before you pull the trigger. If what you’re looking for is a traditional, straightforward, simple car seat, that’s super safe, light, and easy to clean, Look no further. My baby girl approves. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the chance to test this awesome infant car seat!
