Our Thoughts

The carseat arrived within a few days in a HUGE box. I was immensly pleased when I took it out of the box and discovered that there was no assembly required (aside from a removable cupholder). Very easy when your 1 year old likes to help!

The Air Protect was also extremely easy to install in both our SUV and car. (we tried both!) When installing, you have two options. You can install using your cars seatbelt or with the Latch System. Being intemidated by the Latch System, I always opt for the seatbelt, but I did look at the Latch System and instructions and it's EXTREMELY easy. Just two clicks and your ready to go! It was also very easy to install using the seatbelt, just slip it through, tighten, and GO!

Also, make sure to adjust your childs 5-point harness according to their height and seat position before use! When rear-facing the shoulder strap should start below their shoulder height. When forward-facing, the shoulder strap should begin at or right above shoulder level. Please remember that all children under 20 lbs AND under 1 year of age should remain rear-facing!

I was a little worried that the side impact head shield would bother Caden's view of the outside world, causing him to pitch a fit. This did not prove a problem whatsoever. He was very content with what he could still see, and I felt safe having the extra protection in the event of a side impact accident!

All-in-all, I am very pleased with the Safety 1st® Complete Air™ Convertible Car Seat with Air Protect™ Side Impact Technology . It is extremely safe, easy on the eyes, and provides great protection for my little one. I highly recommend it to all parents!
