Safety 1ˢ onBoard Slide Infant Car Seat Featuring SafetySlide Base, Dusty Slate

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to test this car seat that I received from Stellar Product Testing Panel! As soon as I lifted it out of the box, I was pleasantly surprised with how lightweight it felt. It feels like it is heat quality even though it is not heavy. I was also happy with the amount of padding that this car seat has, which is something I look for especially for newborns. As a busy with car seats in two cars, one thing that I always procrastinate about is car seat installation since it's such a pain. I was so impressed with how simple the installation of this seat is! Each side has a latch with a button to press to expand the length of the strap. The total installation time was two minutes! The feature I was really excited to try was the slide feature. To slide the car seat toward you, there is handheld button on the bottom of the seat which makes it very simple. The slide is smooth and there is a gauge which turns red when car seat is pulled out and green when it's ready to drive. I like that this feature is on both sides of the seat so it doesn't make a difference which side of the car you install your seat in. The slide comes out to be flush with the door of my minivan. This is very helpful when my body is sensitive postpartum and I don't have to lean over to strap the baby in the car seat. It's a great feature for everyone but I'm sure this is even more helpful for parents who have health issues or back pain. Overall, this car seat is definitely a game changer for busy parents. The fast installation, slide to get baby in and out, and lightweight seat all make life a little bit easier. The fabrics and padding and very nice and the carry handle is simple to adjust.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mama of four littles, easy and lightweight car seats are so very important for my daily use. When I received the Safety First car seat, the first thing I noted was just how VERY light it was compared to some of the other infant car seats I have tried. This was a significant difference that I really appreciated especially as my baby is now 20 lbs.. The look and design was modern in a black and gray and soft material. Another of my favorite features was the hook system for placing the buckles to the side while getting the baby strapped into her seat. I don't know why all carseat systems don't have these but they are so crucial for ease of buckling. While we have not had any issues with spills or staining, it appears easy to clean. My husband said the ridged latch installation system was what sold him on this car seat. It was very intuitive, the base was very sturdy, and it was so easy to transfer between cars which is also important to us. While the slide feature was cool and VERY easy to use, I didn't feel like it made a huge difference for us in getting her in and out of the car. Please see pictures. Truthfully, it was really easy to get her out whether we used the feature or not. I really like the concept and maybe if we had her in a middle seat instead of the side, it would have been needed more. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
