It allows quick click-in installation in a second vehicle, eliminating the need to move the base between cars. Key features include a 5-position adjustable recline, self-retracting LATCH connectors, and SecureTech red-to-green installation indicators. Users note the base is lightweight and fits newborns well, but installation with a seat belt can be tricky and may require a locking clip for a secure fit.","url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-safety-1st-onboard-infant-car-seat-base-black","brand":"Safety 1st","condition":"new","product_category":"Baby & Toddler > Baby Transport Accessories > Baby & Toddler Car Seat Accessories","material":"Plastic","item_weight_unit":"lb","age_group":"infant","image_url":"https://kidsy.co/cdn/shop/files/new-safety-1st-onboard-infant-car-seat-base-black-8541459.jpg?v=1780503109&width=823","additional_image_urls":[],"images":[{"id":"img-1781228341047-0","url":"https://kidsy.co/cdn/shop/files/new-safety-1st-onboard-infant-car-seat-base-black-8541459.jpg?v=1780503109&width=823","width":737,"height":737,"alt_text":"New Safety 1st OnBoard Infant Car Seat Base (Black) product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"mood":["neutral","practical"],"text":"Safety 1st","style":["modern","minimalist","clinical"],"colors":[{"color":"black","context":"main body and contoured seating area"},{"color":"light gray","context":"front trim accent and base pad"},{"color":"brown","context":"wood floor"},{"color":"white","context":"background wall and logo text"}],"labels":["molded hard plastic body","matte black finish","light gray plastic accent on front","light gray plastic base pad","curved contoured seating area","built-in cup holder recess","front handle or release trim","visible brand text and circular logo","rounded side profile","studio floor placement","wood plank floor","white wall background","soft studio lighting","soft shadow under product"],"flat_lay":false,"confidence":"high","description":"Black molded plastic infant car seat base with contoured top, cup holder recesses, light gray trim, placed on a wood floor against a white wall.","season_occasion":["everyday"],"complementary_products":[]},"variant_ids":["52126614847768"]}],"price":"71.99 USD","sale_price":"44.99 USD","availability":"in_stock","group_id":"10290553749784","listing_has_variations":"false","variants":[{"sku":"SAFETY1ST-884392597917-NEWOVERSTOCK","url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-safety-1st-onboard-infant-car-seat-base-black?variant=52126614847768","image":{"id":"img-variant-52126614847768","url":"https://kidsy.co/cdn/shop/files/new-safety-1st-onboard-infant-car-seat-base-black-8541459.jpg?v=1780503109&width=823","width":737,"height":737,"alt_text":"New Safety 1st OnBoard Infant Car Seat Base (Black) variant image","position":1,"variant_ids":["52126614847768"]},"price":{"value":71.99,"currency":"USD"},"title":"New Safety 1st Onboard Infant Car Seat Base (black)","option1":"Default","sale_price":{"value":54.99,"currency":"USD"},"variant_id":"52126614847768","availability":{"status":"in_stock","available":true}}],"item_group_title":"New Safety 1st OnBoard Infant Car Seat Base (Black)","size_system":"US","gender":"unisex","shipping":"Free shipping on orders over $75 across the USA.
