Safety 1st OnBoard LT Infant Car Seat

I bought this car seat in 2022 and I loved it so much. I still use it for my 2 year old and she loves it as well.

The car seat itself is as pictured. However, it was not shipped in the original box as Target stated it would be, as you can see from the box in the picture. The car seat wasn't wrapped in any form of protective wrapping (ex: foam or plastic) and the manual was missing. Shipping was extremely quick considering I ordered this yesterday, so I will give a good star for that (and only that).

[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.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclaimer I received this car seat from stellar product testing panel for my honest review. Anywho, the car seat is very spacious, even for a 30LB. toddler who just wants to sit in does fit. The only downside is that is does not have much cushion, so it is not very comfortable after a while. The overall design is simple, it’s not a design that screams quality. It was easy to install and adjust. And my favorite thing about the car seat is that it is super light weight!

[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 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.

[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.] Thanks to the Stellar product testing panel for allowing me to test this awesome car seat. This car seat is so easy to install. It fits in the car nicely and does not take up a lot of space. The padding on the seat is nice and thick and very comfortable for an infant. When carrying the car seat it is light weight and easy to carry. The canopy is large enough to keep the infant shaded and easy to use. There is so much to love about this car seat. Even the color is nice. The only down side is the support insert padding inside the seat. It isn’t shaped to support the head as it does not reach the head and comes only to the back of the infant. That is a small problem and doesn’t really take anything away from how awesome this car seat truly is.

[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.

[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.] 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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually read a lot of reviews online before choosing something BIG and IMPORTANT as my baby’s car seat (specially if I’m buying it online) and that’s why I want to share as many details as I can here, to help future mamas and dadas. Safety 1st is a super known and quality brand so I was excited about this!!! To start: my husband was the one who installed the car seat and he NEEDS a manual in the “for dummies” version. He find it hard to do it. However I looked it up afterwards and figure it out pretty quickly. The fabric is really soft and it has the insert for smaller babies, which is great and easy to remove. I did not like the fabric/ way that the cover worked, seems cheap (but let’s face it, the car seat it self is super affordable, so not a big deal). I found it super easy to loose the straps but really hard to adjust them. My baby seemed to be comfortable in it, and if you have a baby you know how hard can it be for your little one to adjust and be okay in the car seat… if it was just as easy as trying out different pacifiers… I really hope this review helps you out to chose the best car seat for your baby! I received this infant car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an easy-to-use car seat! Easy to install and easy to operate! I’ve only had it for a short while, so durability is still in question. I received this car seat as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel and I will say that the plastic seems a little flimsier than in other car seats I have tried, which makes me question to longevity of the seat. Apart from that though - no complaints! The infant insert seems really comfy!

[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.] I received this seat as part of the Stellar product testing panel. I found the car seat to be pretty basic with no additional features. It will definitely protect your child and my daughter seemed comfortable in there. The handle and materials seemed a little cheap and bare bones but it was very lightweight which is a plus. The anchors are a clip which are a little harder to install than the button ones. i didn’t like how there was no level bubble or anything. It was a little difficult to tell if the seat was at the appropriate level. I felt as if my child was safe in the car seat but I wouldn’t purchase it for another child. Over all my favorite part is how light the car seat was.

[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.
