Overview

Highlights

  • Includes infant car seat & base
  • Rear-facing for 4–35 lbs
  • Quick and secure installation

Description

This infant car seat features self-retracting one-click LATCH connectors for quick and secure installation. To give you the confidence of knowing that the base is correctly installed, the tab turns from red to green. Since every car is different, you can also adjust the base height for the right fit to your car.

The four harness heights are spaced right to give baby a better fit from 4–35 lbs (and less than 32”). Smaller babies get the extra support they need with head and body inserts that can be removed as they grow.

The harness adjusts easily from the front of the seat with a simple pull to securely fit little ones. The buckle adjusts in two ways so that you can customize the length and the buckle’s position.

You can also purchase a second base for two-car families (and just move the lightweight infant car seat between the two).

Onboard insta-latch DLX infant car seat
I was given this infant car seat to try as a part of the stellar product testing panel. My favorite features on this seat are the sun shade and base installation indicator. The base is easy to install and has an indicator window that lets you know when the base is tight enough. It also has a locking mechanism to lock the latch system or seatbelt in place which is a nice safety feature. I work in a NICU and get to try lots of infant seats, but this is the first time I've seen these features. The

Lightweight Car Seat
As a second time mom, I was excited to try out a new car seat. After installing it and adjusting it to fit my baby, here is what I think: PROS: - It is very lightweight and does not feel bulky - It was easy to install and adjust - The fabric feels high-quality - The instructions were extremely clear and easy to understand. CONS: - The seat does not detach from the base very seamlessly. It takes a little bit of work. - The canopy felt a little clunky and loud. I only pull up the canopy when I

Good fit for the buck
I received this product through the stellar product testing panel. I overall really like the product. It's great how light weight it is and easy to click in and out of the car. I do think the installation was easy and do like the green/red indicator and the self tightening option. I really love the extended canopy option, this is a great feature that I think will be highly used however it is unusually loud when opening/closing. I do think it was fine to remove the fabric to clean but if this

Good car seat
I was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It was very easy to install in the car and I liked that there was an option to install without the base which will make it great for travel. It was also pretty easy to adjust the straps with the rethread option on the back. My little guy seemed comfy in the car seat too. The canopy on top seemed a little flimsy but the material inside was nice and was very easy to clean and wipe down. It was a little difficult

A lightweight infant car seat, finally!
I was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and honestly I'm really happy we were! I appreciate how lightweight this seat is, especially compared to a previous model we were using for our son. Our son is growing so quickly and is long for his age so I also really appreciate the multiple shoulder strap height adjustments. I am very pleased with the seat all around - from the sleek design and advanced features, to how easy the install was into the car. I'd definitely recommend to friends in the future!

Snug and cozy
Thanks to the stellar product testing panel I got to experience this amazing carseat! My daughter was pre mature so I was nervous bringing her home anyways. The carseat we had was hard to get her sitting correctly, and had to be adjusted so much. As soon as I buckled her into this carseat I felt so secure. The material is super soft and didn't irritate her tender skin (which I loved) and the buckles clicked into place so smooth. It is much easier for me to adjust the straps one handed with this

Decent carseat for an affordable price
This is a decent car seat if you are looking for a more affordable option, but it's definitely not as nice as some of the more expensive brands. A few things I liked: - The seat has great cushion and seems very comfortable for my baby to be in. The infant inserts make this even softer and more comfortable for small babies. - Both the shoulder straps and the bottom strap are adjustable making it easy to get the right fit for your kid. - The handle bar can rotate all the way back to provide a

Safety First always delivers on quality
I received this infant car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This car seat is the bomb. As we have become new parents we have been told about every brand there is but I am here to tell you Safety First with the onBoard Insta-LATCH DLX Infant Car Seat is the best bang for your buck. Such quality at a great price. The knit stitching on the head rest for the infant gives it such a luxury look. It was super easy to install. It took less than 10 minutes including opening the boxes. Once

Great affordable option
I was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall I think the car seat is decent quality. The positives: it's a good looking car seat. It's easy to adjust for sizing and fit. It fits a wide range of sizes. It releases from the base very easily. It's pretty lightweight. The negatives: the plastic components seem a little cheap. The handle requires two hands to adjust. The canopy is super flimsy and sticks — it's difficult to pull out with one hand. The

Lightweight, affordable option
When I received this car seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was honestly blown away by how light it was. I didn't know infant car seats could be this light! It says 7.5 lbs but feels even less than that, maybe because I am used to carrying around a much heavier seat. This would be fantastic for taking on a plane, for example. The light weight of this is definitely its biggest plus. Another huge asset is the ease of installation. The base clicks in in just a matter of seconds,
