I feel compelled to review this seat because I almost didn't buy it due to the negative 2 star review that said it is basically uncomfortable and didn't work in a malibu, which is a very standard car. My daughter is quite tall for a 4 year old and she fits just fine in this seat. The latches are rigid but if you read the instructions, which are very easy, all you need to do is pull on the front center of the seat and the latches pop right out for super easy installation. I drive a CRV but any car that has a latch system I can't imagine why it wouldn't latch properly. My daughter had a Graco booster seat and it it was always slipping around in the car and looked uncomfortable. She said that this seat is "way way better and more cozy than the other one". I like that the back of the seat comes off for when the child gets older. The fabric is very nice and the seat is very sturdy. I have eased my worries that the booster we had didn't look like it would stay in place in the event of an accident. Also I didn't notice in the picture that the little red circle on the outside of the head rest is where you place the seatbelt so it lays properly. That is one feature I wasn't sure would work out but it works great. This seat is quite expensive but you get what you pay for and I am sure if we were in an accident several hundred dollars spent on a safe booster would be trivial.

This seat is difficult for child to buckle into on own. It is uncomfortable due to the seat length being too short for even a 40lb 3 1/2 yr old. It hit mid-thigh and left legs dangling with no knee support. Restocking and return fee were 30% of purchase price. In addition the major reason for returning this product is that the latch system for the seat is rigid and therefore not adjustable and did not fit our chevy malibu.

the twingo travel system i bought nearly 6 months ago now has to be the best travel system i have ever bought. i am on my 3rd child now and have bought 3 totally separate travel systems. the 1st 2 i paid over $600 for. now that im after having, probably my last child i can safely say that i finally got a travel system that actually works for me and was totally affordable. the other travel systems all had hidden extra costs for raincovers, or car seats extra but this is the all in one package you should expect from a travel system. it even comes with the bag included so you literally do not need anything "extra". also, the look and feel of this has to be the best i have had also as its lightweight, can fit into my boot when folded and has great air wheels so its easier to walk on my gravel garden surface. anyway, i have enjoyed writing this comment about this travel system because it deserves all the praise it gets.

Delivery of the product was extremly fast, estimated delivery date was between Sept. 21stOct 18th, we got it on Sept 11th. Carseat came in a separate box that was delivered shortly after the stroller. I am really pleased with both stroller attachements, you can not just attach the carseat to the part with wheels which was one of the options I was looking forward to. Carseat quality of about a 5 out of 10, stroller is a 9. Bassinet is a 9. It rolls really smoothly. Hope our little guy enjoy's it.

I like the stroller and the pram, wheels rotate easily, it's quite light and looks very nice. Unfortunately car seat doesn't have a base and it's very hard to install in a car. We tried to install it several times it's a real pain. You have to pull the seat bell all length in order to wrap it around the seat, at the meantime is blocks so you have to do it all over again, it also twists and makes it very hard to assembly. After a few trials we finally got it right, however it didn't seem to be safe enough. It moves on the seat and flips as well. If you consider buying that stroller don't get too happy that it comes with the car seat. You will need to get another one anyway.

I bought this seat for my 10 month old because we like the convenience of an infant carrier and wanted to use one a bit longer. I did so many google searches and absolutely could not find a review that had detailed information about the fabric...so here it is! I was able to look at the regular Onboard Air 35 and love that it has mesh fabric to keep baby cool and although this isn't exactly the same it also seems very breathable...on the black part. I am not pleased with the fabric on the infant insert and can best describe it as the same type of fabric used on lawn furniture. I plan to use this carseat for my next baby and more than likely will not be using the infant insert because it is so rough and plastic-feeling. I live in a very hot climate so the fabric being breathable is very important to me. The only other negative I have is that the canopy has to be adjusted with two hands and is not quiet at all. However, it covers much better than any seat I've used in the past. I imagine that after some use it will get easier to adjust and is not a deal breaker for me.

I have had a Chicco Keyfit and Graco Snugride 22 and this seat installation blows theirs out of the water! The lock off is so secure that even in my husband's car that does not have locking seatbelts it does not move an inch!! The Snugride used to tip over unless you used a pain in the arse locking clip, and although the Keyfit was better it doesn't compare to the Onboard! None of my vehicles have LATCH, but the latch straps do have the button release which is a huge plus!

Unlike a lot of infant carseats the padding in the Onboard is phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about it! Not to mention the much safer EPP foam! This seat looks so comfy!

The seat itself and base seem very well made. No flimsy plastic here! The handle adjustment is very smooth. The shoulder straps adjust very easily and have the can't do without padding! The crotch strap also has 3 positions. All in all I would buy this seat again. I haven't seen an infant carrier that will get as much use! Hope this helps you make a decision!

I found this link on Car-seat.org and towards the bottom there are pics of a little boy in a Graco Snugride 35 and the Onboard 35 and it's amazing how much head-room the little guys has in the Onboard compared to the Graco.

After a lot of research, I ordered this seat and was very happy with my decision. Got it in the mail & loved it -very sturdy, soft, stylish. I just realized today that it's too big (depth-wise) for my car (2000 Toyota 4Runner). It just doesn't fit. So, I would measure your back seat before purchasing this one if you have a car or smaller SUV. If size wasn't an issue then I would definitely keep this seat.

I purchased this seat after hours upon hours of research. It is given the highest rating for crash tests on consumer reports and I had read about its great fabric. I must say the fabric is the nicest I've felt of all the car seats I've seen and the amount of padding is unmatched. It seems long enough to accommodate long babies, although I did not test it with a baby as mine hasn't been born yet. The harness is easy to adjust and the seat easily connects to the base. I really like how the base is more like a bowl than a usual base, making it easy to place the seat in; more like putting the seat in a bowl rather than looking for the connection points to match up as other bases require.

The only reason I rated this 4 stars instead of 5 is that this is a very large seat, mostly in the length from baby's head area to toe area. I have a 1999 VW Golf, 4 door, and I could not fit the seat in any of the rear seating positions, even with the passenger front seat pushed to the very front of the car (making it impossible for anyone to sit there). The handle would have to stay up in most cars, even if the seat fits.

I really did love this seat but it's just too big. If size wasn't an issue, I'd keep it in a heartbeat, as the seat minus the base isn't any heavier or bulkier than a usual seat. It's just the geometry of how the seat and base fit.

Honest reviews on Safety 1st Air Protect On Board 35 SE Infant Car Seat

Although I cannot review the functionality of the product, I was very pleased with the entire purchase. I ordered the carseat while i was in the hospital with my unborn son. He was being a little impatient and was trying to make an entrance at 25 1/2 weeks. The carseat that I was looking at was not rated for a premie so I needed one fast. When I showed the nurses at the hospital this one, they said it was one of the best ones recommended. Luckly enough for me my baby is still inside so I now have a great beautiful carseat for my son. I really like the fabric and my husband likes that its not too girly for when he has to carry it. The padding is nice and thick. The most important for me is that since im not a very large person, I can easily lift it.

EDIT

Its now one year after I began using this carseat and I still LOVE it. We are expecting number two in a few weeks and I will be using this seat for the new baby. It still looks new with extensive use. It has been on 5 long road trips and my son was completely comfortable in it the entire trip.

EDIT 2

Its now two years later and my daughter uses the car seat. It still looks beautiful like brand new.

One of the main selling points of this carseat is the fact that it is 17% bigger than the average infant carseat. We drive a Ford Edge with a spacious back row so I knew I wanted something big. I didn't truly start to appreciate the size of this seat until I saw babies in OTHER carseats and realized just how tiny they can be! I feel like I own the 'Cadillac' of carseats. Another big selling point, for us, was the great ratings on consumer reports. I don't care how heavy this thing is, as long as it's safe. As for the installation, we never had any problems. It has always fit very snugly and is very easy to move from car to car. There has been negative mention of the seat not latching into the base properly. I have noticed an issue here but nothing we didn't quickly adapt to. When inserting the seat and during removal, you simply have to make sure you are dropping and lifting it STRAIGHT up or down. Also after inserting the seat into the base, we habitually tip it to the left, then the right, and we always hear *click* *click*. I really think I would jostle any seat to each side before taking off, so I really don't think this is a problem to ensure this one is properly latched in. Onto the cosmetics, I really love the color and the pattern of the seat. Black never goes out of style and is totally gender neutral. I have had many compliments on it. The fabric is nice and here's whywe went out of town and halfway into our trip our son had his first and only accident in the seat. We wiped it out and proceeded to our destination. That night, I removed all the fabric and straps and washed it in the hotel bathtub. The next day everything was clean and had quickly dried, just like new! I should mention the canopy is super large which is great! I would also say that this seat must be pretty comfortable, as I can only assume since I'm not the one riding in it. Our son is almost 13 months and is still riding comfortably. As a matter of fact, we just took a trip to Florida and drove straight through on the way back (an eleven hour drive) and had no issues. In short, if you are concerned about safety ratings, want a carseat that your child can fit in for a long time, and have enough space in your car, then I would absolutely recommend the Air Protect On Board 35 SE.

I bought this for my 20 month old for a very long car journey and I think it was a bit big for him but really cute and soft. I'm saving it for when he gets a little older and bought him another that is a little smaller for now.

I love my Quinny stroller! I love the look of it (modern, simple and stylish) and I love the functionality of it, which is a way more important factor when it comes to babies and all their gear. Our son is three months old so we've started him in the Quinny Dreami Bassinet and he feels so cozy in it! It's got a PLUSH liner throughout the whole inside of it and a foamy cushioned bottom. More often that not, we put him down in it and he sleeps in it all through the night, and, sleeps better in it than in his crib. He seems lost in his crib and he's seemingly much more content in the cushy bassinet. Besides quickly interchanging the bassinet on and off (one button press on each side and off it goes!) it also interchanges wonderfully with the Maxi-Cosi car seat that we have. Soooo convenient!!!! And you can have forward or backwards versatility, again with the push of one button. It collapses super easily. And, I love how it unfolds automatically. No fighting with it in the Target parking lot! The brake system is well thought out and lastly, the turning radius is awesome. Turns really easily in small elevators and store aisles. My brother is having a baby in the fall and I've totally recommended he buy this stroller.

Left frame hub L was assemble with a inverted R piece by manufacture and this is clear an assemble issue that prevents CLICK and correct alignment slot. THere is a clear risk to the baby as Buzz is unstable. I simply can send picture showing the 2 sides of frame with R and inverted R, not a L piece. Expect feedback.

Unfortunetly I could not use the product in order to be able evaluate it. I was traveling in the USA and payed the express delivery to receive the product in 2 days, before my departure to Brazil. The product arrived in the hotel I was hosted amazing 6 days after the order and a friend of mine took the product because at that moment I was back home in Brazil. Then I had to pay a US$45 fee to send the product back to you, what is an absurd! I had to pay to fix an Amazons' mistake!!! You should at least take the product for free, considering that I could not bring it to Brazil because you delivered in 6 days a 2 days express delivery. I urge you charge me back the US$45 fee!
