Our youngest is nearly 5 years old. He’s now too big to fit in child safety seats with 40 pound limits, let alone infant carriers. While sometimes I think we need to have another baby just to model all these great review samples that keep coming, the reality is that it just isn’t going to happen at this [...]

The Safety 1st onBoard 35 Air Infant Car Seat is the evolution of the original 0nBoard 35. The original is a nice infant seat in its own regard, one that fits smaller newborns better than average, too. Safety 1st has upped the ante and added Air Protect cushions for side impact protection.
