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!
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.
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!

Lightweight but difficult to carry
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and overall I was satisfied with this product. It was definitely lightweight, but it was a bit difficult to carry because the plastic on the side was sharp and hit my leg. Granted- my child is already 10 months and nearly 20 lb, but still would've liked it to be more comfortable there. He seemed happy when he was in it! I had no trouble getting him buckled securely, but I couldn't get the base installed with the latch. The straps would only tighten on one side for some reason. No problem with the base and the seat belt though. It's a good car seat for anyone looking for something super basic! No bells and whistles, but gets the job done without too much trouble.
There goes my daily arm workout
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This car seat is extremely lightweight. I was absolutely floored when I picked up the box off my front porch when it arrived. I thought for sure they sent an empty box and forgot to pack the car seat. That is the biggest pro for me about this car seat. With other car seats I have used, I avoid bringing them inside because they’re so heavy and bulky. This one is so easy to tote around. I love how compact it is. It can fit nicely in my row at church, and next to me at a restaurant, which I love. The installation was simple and very basic. Within minutes I had the base installed in my car and the straps adjusted to fit my baby. After two kids, I have learned that car seats with all the bells and whistles aren’t necessary and that I just need the easiest set up and to be able to put my kid in quick. This car seat allows me to do just that. The car seat comes with an infant insert to cradle smaller babies. On the other hand, the base of the car seat is not so compact. It seems really long. It still fit in my Toyota Rav 4 just fine, I just didn’t expect it to take as much space. I will attach a photo for reference.

Easy Installation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this carseat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and was super impressed with the instruction manual. I know that sounds silly, but I haven't seen an easier to understand manual ever and we've purchased a few carseats. It has lots of pictures to follow to help you make sure your child is safely secure and for how to get it into the car. I liked the actual seat itself, too. It was easy to get him in and out and he seemed comfortable and not too squished (which is important since he's big for his age). It was a bit longer and took up more room than the one I was using previously, but luckily I have an SUV so I didn't need to adjust the front seat for it.
Thanks for your glowing review! We're thrilled to know it was a seamless installation and your little gets in/out with ease. If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to contact our Consumer Care Team at 800-544-1108.
Comfortable and safe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this Safety 1st Onboard LT Infant Car Seat. The quality is amazing! It has alot of cushion that promotes comfort. A little confusing trying to put it in but once it’s in it’s great! My baby girl loves it very much. Easy to clean without uninstalling the seat. When hooked up properly there is zero wiggle making it super safe. This car seat is a total game-changer for any parent looking for ease, comfort, and utmost safety.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Safety 1st Onboard LT Infant Car Seat I received as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel! It is stylish, comfortable, and most importantly, safe for my little one. The installation was a breeze and I feel confident knowing that my baby is securely strapped in while we are on the go. The adjustable head support and harness make it easy to customize the fit as my baby grows. The fabric is easy to clean and the overall quality of the car seat is top-notch. I highly recommend the Safety 1st Onboard LT Infant Car Seat to any parent looking for a reliable and safe car seat for their precious cargo.
SO lightweight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this car seat from Stellar Panel to review and we are honestly SO impressed! It is easy to get in and out of the base, the base was so simple to install and it’s VERY lightweight! The ONLY con we found was that the cover on the top can be hard to pull down at times. With that being the only flaw, I can confidently say that this is the most lightweight and convenient carrier we’ve ever used!
