Safety 1st Air Protect On Board 35 Infant Car

Product Description

Color: Rio Grande From the Manufacturer The safety 1st onboard 35 air infant car seat with air protect side impact technology brings revolutionary protection to infants all the way from a tiny 4 to a full 35 pounds. 1 in 4 car crashes involving children are side impact collisions. They are by far the deadliest type of collision for children, accounting for 1 in 3 child fatalities; nearly all of which are caused by head trauma. These are frightening facts, but safety 1st has been by your side for 25 years providing innovative products to help protect your child from becoming a statistic. It is in this tradition that we proudly announce air protect side impact technology. Safety 1st engineers designed air protect using next generation testing methods that simulate the most violent types of side impact crashes, those with vehicle intrusion. Using this advanced methodology, air protect was engineered to defend your child in two vital ways. During a crash, the system immediately shields your child's head from the impact. In a second layer of defense, air protect allows air to escape from the headrest: channeling crash energy away from your child, creating more ride down time. It is this double layer of protection that makes air protect technology unique.

This is the 5th or 6th car seat that I have purchased, previously deciding to go with the Britax brand because all of the "infant" car seats are limited on weight and have seemed to flimsy. I decided to try this new infant seat for our newest member, due in June. My husband and I cannot quit going, "this car seat rocks!"
Here's why...

1. The base of the seat that stays in the car is so easy to put in with the latch system and actually doesn't move! We have had so much trouble in the past getting an infant car seat base to not move past the 1" limit. We have had to try towels and everything in the past. This went in like a breeze and the base actually adjusts height to give the proper recline for the weight of the baby, which is illustrated on the car seat with a small marble.

2. When putting this car seat into the base and removing it, there is barely any tilt or "shifting" required, meaning that the baby will actually be able to stay asleep when getting out of the car or back in while still in the seat. Previous car seats we used meant tilting and moving around the car seat to get it to click into the base or to get the thing off the base! This transition is so nice!

3. Granted, we haven't put our newborn in the car seat yet, but this seat is so light and the handle fits so easy in either your hand grip, or on the crook of your inside arm, which is so much more the case.

4. The padding is phenomenal and has the more breathable material. One of our babies in the past always ended up soaking with sweat in an infant seat that we used to have. Once again, I haven't tried this with the baby but the material is definitely something I haven't seen before on a car seat.

All in all, I am very very please with this purchase, probably the most of all new baby purchases that we have made. I would definitely recommend! Get More Full Detail>>
