So lightweight and comes with extended canopy!
September 29, 2020
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I got a chance to try out Baby Jogger City Go Air infant car seat and, oh boy, it exceeded my expectations! I am familiar with Baby Jogger brand and was amazed by their stroller and now, they did it again with this car seat. Whether you need to jump quickly into your car for a ride or take a taxi to your doctor's appointment or make a shopping trip again, it will be a breeze with this car seat since it is ultra lightweight (only 8 lb), easy to install with or without base. It took me less than a minute to install base since everything is marked nicely and bright and it has push button latch system which is a life saver! I had no problem to use it in a taxi (has marking for seat belt to put while in a taxi with beautiful, bright blue color). My best feature is flex shade canopy drape made with breathable fabric which was very useful to protect my baby from sun and wind. You don't need to search for some covering at the very last minute when you need it like it happened to me a million times and I always had to adjust it, it would fall every few minutes even because of baby moving, or wind or something else. This is connected to the car seat, and when pulled down, stays on with elastic band until YOU need to remove it, so always ready and prepared. I caught myself still checking if it is on at first (due to bad experience from the past when I didn't have this feature) but you know what they say - you get used to something good quick and easy. Also, it helped dim the lights in my building when I come home late so my baby stay asleep and cozy. And he still has lightly covered sides of it so my baby could explore around even when it is sunny.
This car seat is little on expensive side but when I saw that its RapidLock base includes anti-rebound bar for added stability which reduces rearward movement in frontal collision and, the seat exceeded safety standards and was even tested for side impact and extreme temperatures, I was sold. During this testing period my baby was teething and was very fussy but luckily (as you can see on some pictures) he was very comfortable and fell asleep instantly in this car seat thanks to the additional infant insert and OptiVent moisture wicking material that kept him cool and comfy. Also, 5 points system is a must with every car seat!
So, if you are someone like me always on the go, either by car/taxi or using travel system and need to travel as light as possible but always have safety of your baby on your mind first, than the price will not be an issue and this car seat will be perfect for your baby!
