A first of its kind car seat design that makes it easier than ever to get baby in and out of the car

FOXBOROUGH, Mass., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Dorel Juvenile USA, a segment of Dorel Industries (TSX: DII.B, DII.A) and the world's largest juvenile products manufacturer introduces the Safety 1st onBoard^™ Slide DLX Infant Car Seat featuring SafetySlide^™ Base. Committed to advancing baby safety and parenting convenience, the Safety 1st onBoard Slide debuts the brand's SafetySlide Base, designed to simplify how parents secure their infants in the car. The car seat's innovative base slides out just under 8 inches, making loading and unloading baby a breeze. Combining ease of use, enhanced safety features, and comfort, the Safety 1st onBoard Slide ensures your baby enjoys a smooth, stress-free ride, and makes every journey easier for parents.

The most common car seat installation error, made unknowingly by 7 out of 10 parents, is loose vehicle belt tension. To help parents ensure their car seat is securely locked in place, Safety 1st's new car seat features SecureTech^™ red-to-green indicators. In addition, the base can attach to the vehicle seat in just seconds with the rigid LATCH connectors, making installation quick and easy every time without having to tighten the connectors manually. The Safety 1st onBoard Slide is also rigorously crash and side-impact tested to meet federal safety standards.

"Our commitment to safety, innovation, and ease of use drives everything we do. The new onBoard Slide Infant Car Seat with SafetySlide Base is the perfect example of this dedication," said Cathy Carter, President/CEO of Dorel Juvenile North America. "We've listened to parents who complained about tedious installations and designed a product that makes car seat installs faster, transfers easier, and more importantly, keeps babies safe and comfortable no matter the journey."

Other convenient features include:

SafetySlide technology that stretches out a maximum of just under 8" on either side of your car. Because the base slides outward, it significantly enhances accessibility, making it particularly helpful when utilizing the center seat position often preferred by parents and safety experts. This innovative design eases back strain and eliminates head bumps, making it easy to get baby in and out of the car—simply slide, lift, and go.
Ultra-lightweight design weighing just under 8 lbs. to easily lift and carry the infant car seat in and out of the car.
Ability to grow with baby with four adjustable harness heights ensuring a better fit from 4 to 30 pounds.
Comfortable and relaxing soft fabrics and plush padding with extra support for small babies as needed with head and body inserts that can be removed as they grow.
Extra-large canopy with a convenient zipper extension provides added sun protection while allowing you to check on your little one without having to adjust the canopy.
Machine-washable and dryer-safe seat pad. Adjustable base for the right fit to your car.
