Great seat with a couple of small cons…,
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. [...]

|Loved it BUT……..,
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.

|Perfect, but too large,
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.
