Our take on the Safety 1st onBoard Insta-Latch Infant Car Seat

The Safety 1st onBoard Insta-Latch is a rear-facing infant car seat for babies from 4 to 30 lbs and under 32 inches. Its main draw is the base: self-retracting one-click LATCH connectors and SecureTech red-to-green indicators that show when the base is locked in, plus an adjustable base height to fit different cars. The front-adjust harness has four heights and a two-way buckle, and removable head and body inserts support smaller babies. It competes with budget infant seats on easy installation rather than on premium fabrics or extra features.
