How does this differ from the regular Safety 1st Air On Board 35 (non-SE) infant car seat?

I believe se means special edition and according to the safety 1st website, it has upgraded fabric. I loved the car seat but I live in Florida and it was hot for my son.

I used the Jolly Jumper Arctic with the Britax B-Agile car seat. It was fine for the first few months (my son was 3 months old when we first used it - a lifesaver), but by the time he was around 6 months, he was getting a little big to get in and out of the little opening without the cover popping off. By that time, I just put him into the seat and reinserted the cover. I recommend this cover over the JJCole (which I also owned, that went under and over him). I liked that this completely sealed him in the cold outdoors. With the JJ Cole, his head is exposed to the cold and the straps on the car seat got snug because of the blanket underneath him.

I have! My boys are 17 months apart so I needed my Safety 1st car seat to fit and it does! I use it in the "front seat" (the one furtherest from you). Sometimes I have to push the sides in, but its a nice secure fit! It's a great stroller! Highly recommend! Congrats on your growing family!

Not sure exactly, but it is heavy and awkward. I would imagine all infant carseats are this way. I do like the car seat very much, only thing I can say is the fabric is very hot. Meaning, it doesn't breath...my baby always seems very sweaty on his back.

The easiest way is to put the chair face forward and pass the airline safety belt through the slots on the back of the chair. The chair is quite light and compact. I was traveling overseas alone with my one-year old, and was able to carry both the baby and the chair (and a diaper bag, and a backpack and a stroller) I still keep this chair for future flights.

If you choose to skip the infant carrier (perfectly safe to do so) this seat is one that DOES fit newborns well. The strap slots are low enough to fit average and some smaller newborns well. This seat only has one recline line so it is important to make sure it is properly reclined (line level to the ground). There is some infant padding with the seat and rolled receiving blankets can be placed on either side of an infant to provide additional support and prevent any slouching over until baby has better head control. There are many Car Seat Safety Groups that recommend this seat as a choice for newborns who aren't using infant carriers.

The basic difference is the infant position pad, and the belly pad. The shell is the same, the harness is the same, and the installation is the same.

I started using this once she was over one year. I used a different Graco infant carrier from 0-1yr. The babies do sort of lie down/prop up in an infant carrier. Once transitioned to this carseat, she sits with her back fairly straight. It is not as straight as she will be once she's in a booster seat with no backing, but I wouldn't not consider this reclined like the infant carrier. She has never complained about this seat. She seems very comfortable and I feel safe with it.

No. A 1 year old NEEDS to be in a rear facing convertible seat (it has a LOT more room than an infant seat) since its 500% safer on the head, neck and spine than a forward facing seat (which this Safety 1st Summit is- it ONLY forward faces).

Hello. I researched so many different brands, types, & models of car seats before I purchased mine that I don't remember the different specs. I went to the actual manufacturers websites and called the manufacturers with lots of questions also. I just know that the Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat was a better fit for my little girl. Just went and compared the two quickly and right off the Diono is forward facing with the 5 point harness up to 80 lbs whereas the Safety 1st is only to 40 lbs. I also like the steel alloy frame & aluminum reinforced side walls of the Diono. If you haven't visited the manufacturers website for Diono its us.diono.com. Thanks & Congrats:)

The better option for the Britax B-Safe car seat is the Safety 1st Clic it! Universal Carrier. I recently returned the Baby Trend Snap N Go due to an improper fit for the Britax B-Safe and after a little research bought the Safety 1st stroller. Don't settle for something that advertises "fits most"...

I flew with a Boulevard 70 CS on Delta and had no problem on either plane (a 757 and a DC9). Car seat was easy to install. feet were a little close to the seat in front of my son (a 14th month old who is in the 97% for size) but he only could kick the seat when it was reclined.

I can not say from my personal experience, but I have read reviews of other users stating that is the main reason why they purchased the Weehoo iGo. I think the 3-point harness and the seating position allows for safe use for kids that need that extra level of safety and stability.

I believe both Britax infant car seats do click in... We have the b safe and it goes ONLY on the top not on the bottom..UNLESS you buy the adaptor and then it clicks into the adaptor. We returned our adaptor and used the Britax b safe infant car seat on top when our son was smaller and put our daughter (the eldest) in the second seat below.. My kids are 15months apart in age so that's what worked best until my son outgrew the infant car seat then we put him on the bottom and my daughter up top in the regular seat is comes with! I hope that wasn't super confusing lol.

What I like about it is that this car seat is slim and doesn't take up much space. The question is are airplanes safer than these car seats?

If you have a child that is on the taller side, go with the Foonf. It will last a lot longer. You also can not beat it's forward facing safety with the rigid latch and REACT system. The crash test numbers are super low. But the Peg is much lighter and a very nice seat to rear face until 2 + years an average height child.
