[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.

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.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Safety 1st Onboard LT Infant Car Seat! What an awesome car seat I love the ease and simplicity of this car seat added bonus it’s so chic and sleek! I like the fact that the installation and adjustment process is very easy plenty of room for a growing baby. The base was not to bulky for my small suv. My little one seemed very comfortable in it she was all smiles. The fabric is also a plus you can wipe up accidents with a little damp cloth it’s also Machine washable and dryer safe. This replaced one of my other big name brand carcar seats. I would definitely recommend this carseat to expecting parents, friends and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all I would like to thank the Stellar product testing panel for the opportunity to test and try the Safety 1st onboard LT infant car seat! This car seat is very comfortable for my little one. I like how it has more space than other infant car seats. The design is great and I love how the cushions are breathable. The color is a nice grey and black so it stays cool in the summer time. I live in CA so the weather is unpredictable and the heat is crazy! It is very easy to put in and out of the car. The base was super easy to install which is awesome! It is lightweight so that makes it easier to carry! We all know those car seats are so heavy especially with the little ones in it so it’s nice that this car seat is light weight and easy to carry. Although, the handle is a little awkward but overall not too bad. The fabric is super nice and appears easy to clean. I have not had to clean it yet! I will say I didn’t like the sun shed as it is kind of flimsy and doesn’t seem very well made. The buckles are easy to use which is nice because I have nails and sometimes they are difficult to unlatch but the Safety 1st LT infant car seat is super easy. I also like how the head rest is removable and adjustable. It’s also super comfy and the material feels nice. Its great for the summer too because the fabric is made to allow airflow. Overall, this car seat is great for infants and I would recommend to any mom. I do wish the sun shade was a little bit better made. Also my son is 10 months old and he’ll probably only be able to be in this car seat til about 1. So it’s great for the first year in my opinion.

[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 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.] I honestly didn’t love this! Safety 1st is a great brand but this specific car seat just felt off to me. It was super hard to get the car set off the base. The fabric was also super rough and my 11 month old was not very fond of how scratchy it was! However the colors are gorgeous! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.
