Simply Made

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product through Stellar Product Testing Panel. It is a very simple infant carseat. It is simple to use and it is also very simply made. It is extremely light, which is every parents' dream or at least mines! Even the base is super lightweight. It isn't bulky, I can see it as a good space saver for someone with a smaller vehicle or that needs to line up multiple carseats in a row. To me it does not seem comfortable for baby. There are no strap pads to help buffer the seat belt strap with the baby's shoulder/neck. The head rest falls out each time because it just lays there. I can definitely see it getting lost in the near future. The clicking sound of the canopy is rather loud. You will need two hands to adjust the canopy open/close. I tried it one handed and it doesn't really want to reposition unless you are guiding it with two hands. Installing the base wasn't too difficult. The instructions are pretty straight forward. There's no leveler but a sticker and a line that you would have to guess if it's leveled or not. I do have a tool in my garage to help. If you are looking for a space saver and light weight infant carseat, this could work for you.

Top choice for safety comfort and ease

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression out of the box was that the car seat has beautiful fabric. The padded insert is very plush and a perfect fit right from birth. As a mom of two, I need something easy and convenient. Installation was very easy and I love that you have the option to use a seat belt or latch connectors. The car seat is very light weight which is a must for me since I always have my hands and arms full. Overall my baby is comfortable and loves sitting in her car seat. Also most importantly he is safe! Thank you Safety 1st and Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this wonderful infant car seat.

Lightweight car seat

[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!

Practical and Reliable Car seat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was received from Stellar Product Testing Panel. This car seat is actually very light weight and looks very high end. They say the best car seat is the one that can be installed correctly. I have to say this car seat was really easy to install and use. I was able to adjust the harness very easily. The other big thing with this car seat is that my baby actually fell asleep! She is 10 months old and rarely falls asleep in her usual car seat. But when testing this one out she fell asleep within minutes of driving! I am very impressed by the ease of use and how comfortable this car seat was for my baby. Highly recommend!

Safety 1st Onboard LT Infant Car Seat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The seat belt was easy to adjust and the car seat is spacious enough for my 4 month old baby to move around. The cushioning is made with soft polyester material that I liked. There are two separate cushions for the sitting area and another one that supports head rest. The head cushion design was uncomfortable for my baby, so I adjusted it so that it wasn't pointed down her back. I dislike how hard it is to adjust the retractable hood, and it is also very loud while adjusting. Installing the base and adjusting it was simple and easy. The locking mechanism to hold the car seat in the base could be more secure. It seemed like the car seat does not lock in all areas and one of the corners could lift out. Getting the car seat out of the base could be easier. It was not too problematic but could give some trouble getting stuck and not come out the first time. The car seat design adapted to our different stroller brand, which was a plus. The car seat itself is also very light weight and easy to carry. Overall, the car seat and base is nice quality product. My baby seems comfortable and has had no issues riding in the car or in a stroller with the car seat.

Large and bare bones

[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!

Great carseat at budget friendly

[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.

Good Infant Car Seat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, this is a good car seat. I liked the look and the design of the car seat. I like how lightweight it is. I also like how it's narrower than other car seats that I've used in the past, which is really like when you have multiple car seats next to each other. The installation was straightforward. The fabric was nice and soft. My biggest issue with the car seat was when I would connect the car seat to the base in the car. It just didn't seem sturdy enough for me.

Safety 1st Onboard LT Infant Car Seat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I typically avoid writing negative reviews, but I was quite disappointed with this product. The quality of materials made me question the safety of this device. I did not feel comfortable using this car seat, as I doubted it would adequately protect my baby in an accident. The materials felt very flimsy; the side supports wiggled easily and seemed cheaply constructed. The pull-over shade was particularly frustrating—it would get stuck every time I tried to cover my baby's eyes from the sun with one hand. I had to set the car seat down and use both hands to pull the shade down evenly, which is not practical for a busy mom. Additionally, the fabric was partially see-through, which added to my concerns. While my infant did not seem uncomfortable in the car seat, and the seatbelt was of decent quality, these positives did not outweigh the negatives. I appreciated the lightweight design and the quality of the straps, but I would much prefer a heavier car seat with a sturdier foundation.

Carseat review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the safety one Carseat to review for the Stellar Product Testing Panel. One of the first things I noticed was how light this Carseat was! I have struggled to carry other brands especially with the weight of a baby and the Carseat. This one I could easily lift, take in and out of the car, and haul around. I also liked that the sun shade clicks on both sides keeping were you set it in place, you can also keep the sun visor at a slant so you can keep the sun out of babies eyes and be able to see them. I do wish the visor was able to go lower, you would have to get an extending visor to keep sun completely off baby if out and about. There was a couple big reasons I did not like this Carseat, it was a hassle to get the base set up in the car, even with following the manual it took a very long time and was not very secure once buckled into place. The front of the base and care seat easily moves around. This is because the seat belt itself has no way to be locked into place and if your car doesn't have clips for the metal brackets it really is not safely secured. I would not feel comfortable using this Carseat on long drives or in high traffic areas because I couldnt trust it's ability to withstand an impact if an accident did occur.
