T minus 6 weeks until baby girl arrives. I am so excited but so nervous at the same time, as I am sure most new moms/dads are! One thing I worry about is having a safe car seat for when baby girl arrives. Recently we received the Safety 1st Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 convertible car seat to review, which Zane has been “testing” out in our car. I am a huge proponent of buying a convertible car seat because I dislike the idea of continuously buying new car seats each time the kids outgrow them. The Safety 1st Elite 80 Air +3-in-1 convertible car seat is simply amazing in every capacity!
One of the most amazing features of this convertible car seat is the full body side impact protections with Air Protect +. As moms/dads, our #1 concern when we put our kids in the car, is them being safe. With this car seat, it is positively the safest choice in full body protection on the market. Air Protect + combines the advanced protection of our Air Protect® cushion system with patented GCell HX™ foam designed with hexagonal shapes for superior protection around the torso. TOGETHER they provide full body side impact protection.
We were eager when we received it to set it up. Installation was quite easy as there is easy to identify color-coded belt paths and installation labels, that lead you to the correct way to set up the car seat. It then can be set up with a 5 point harness and can be readily adjusted to 10-position headrests that adjusts to fit your growing child. It features 4 position recline. There is no need for your child to ever be uncomfortable in a car seat!
It also has a convenient, no re-thread harness when you need to fit your child int the car seat. In the past with other car seats, I am always having an issue trying to re-thread the harness and ultimately have to end up calling my husband. With Safety 1st, I no longer have that problem. Once secured, it can easily be converted to a belt-positioning booster, which is where my daughter is at right now. For the latch system, it is a one click latch, that can be readily set up. The carseat is made of steel reinforced metal frame around it, so you know your kids will be safest in this car seat.
This convertible car seat can be used for children 5-80 pounds, so you will not need to buy a new carseat once you purchase the Safety 1st Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat! It works as a rear-facing car seat for babies up to 40 pounds, or 2 years of age, and then readily converts to a full 5 point harness up to 80 pounds. It then goes to the booster seat belt for kids up to 100 pounds. Simply amazing that this car seat goes from infancy to kids up to 100 pounds!
I absolutely love the Safety 1st Elite 80 Air + 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat. It meets or exceeds Federal and ASTM Safety Standards, so I know my kids are the safest when we go for a ride. It is available for purchase at Babies R’ Us for $229.99. Be sure to check out this amazing car seat today!

*I received the above car seat for review. All my opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources.*
The value is obvious since it can be used for such a long time with some adjustments. Sounds like a great purchase.
Looks Like A Sharp Looking Car Seat Durable Love The Safety Features & A Great Giveaway Too Thank You!
That looks like a great car seat. My little guy is almost 7 and still in a booster seat because he’s such a peanut.
Definitely the full body side impact protections
Love the weight range and the 5 point harness.
Awesome product
That is a great investment. Long life for a great product. Save money for parents.
my daughter is expecting, making me a grandma, and she already has a car seat. I don’t drive, but if I did, I would want that car seat listed above; especially, since when you put your newborn in the car seat, they look so small compared to the car seat they have to be in. I remember having to “pack her in” (my daughter) with blankets, so she wouldn’t be moving around too easily, like when we turned a corner. The above car seat would remedy that. Looks awesome and complicated. I would like one for my granddaughter who we are expecting on August 30th, 2014.
I like the Air Protect + feature.
I like the 4 position recline and that it will adjust to your child
I love that it is convertible. I have a 2 year old and we have tried a few different seats and still can’t find one we like. This sounds safe and like a great investment.
I like the full 5 point harness up to 80 pounds.
I like that it is so versatile in terms of weight. One car seat and you’re done.
I appreciate the HUGE weight range so it’s the only car seat you ever need to buy!
I like that it hold children from 5 to 80 lbs! That’s awesome!
I left a comment on your Baby Sprinkle post
The 5 point harness up to 80 pounds is great
This sounds like a wonderful car seat, and it’s great that it will grow with your child.
I like that’s it’s easy to assemble and install. I like the 5 pt harness too
Wow! This seat can go up to 100lbs?? That’s so awesome! Yay for not having to buy multiple car/booster seats!
My favorite feature is the 4 position recline so that it can accommodate many different types of children.
I love that the installation is easy with its color coding. I can never do this myself with our current car seats.
Love that it’s good for kids from 5-80 pounds!
This looks like a great car seat. They have really come a long way since my kids had to use them.
I like that it is a one click latch and the full body side impact protections with Air Protect +
it looks you have a happy camper. We are almost all finished with car seats, just one more booster seat, but it I remember the importance of having a good quality car seat.
I love how modern car seats are so padded and provide excellent protection for babies and toddlers.
The fact that this seat is SO convertible! How perfect to take a child from birth through the toddler years!!!!
Also, recently commented on your (beautiful) sprinkle!!
I love that it is 3 in 1!
Looks great, love all the safety features!
Definitely entering. We need a new seat badly! Ours haven’t weathered well.
I wish I saw this before I bought my car seat. I am going to pass this along to my other friends with kids.
We are out of carseats but this looks like a dream. So safe and versatile!
My twins are six and are still able to use the car seats we bought for them as infants because we got them seats that were convertible from infant seats. Car seats are a major investment and should be chosen carefully.
That is one high tech car seat! Wish it had been around when my kids were little!
The four position recline is my favorite part of this product and the protection..
My favorite feature is definitely how long it can be used. I will stick with an infant carrier to start but I love that this seat can be my child’s 2nd and final car seat! What a great investment!
Love he fact it works rear facing aswell
I love how comfy it looks. I also like the fact that it can be used for a long time.
This looks like a really good car seat! I love a heavy duty one for my 4 year old that still uses a five point harness! This seat really grows with the child!
Great options on this, and the weight range is awesome!
I like the fact that the car seat is convertible. Gives you more bang for your buck.
I love that it goes from infancy to 100lbs. It’s the ultimate seat and I don’t have to worry about buying more than one seat while baby grows!
The favorite feature that I like is the Air Protect
This car seat looks so incredibly comfortable!
I love that it has full body side impact protection!
Thank you!
Comfy looking seat & adorable child! I love the side head impact – especially to stop that head droop from kids that looks so painful 🙂
I like the side and head impact features the best on this car seat.
My son has a car seat really similar to this and I love it because I feel like it’s nice, sturdy, and has impact protection everywhere. It’s always best never to skimp on their safety, especially when it comes to something like travel.
I like the no re-thread feature — seems very convenient
That it’s a 3 in 1 convertible car seat!
My favorite feature is that it exceeds Federal and ASTM Safety Standards
I like the Air Protect + feature.
Love how car seats are increasing the weight range. Safety 1st is stepping up and going above and beyond and still affordable.
Very sharp looking and I trust the manufacturer.
I love the “non-threading” Harness adjuster! That part is always a pain!!
weight range and non-threading harness adjuster. so nice!
I like that it goes up to 80 lbs
I am looking for a seat for my husband’s car, and I love how this is 3 in 1! We wouldn’t have to buy any other seat because it would grow with our 19 month-old. And I really like the side impact cushioning and safety aspect. That’s one of my must-haves for car seat shopping.
i am loving the no re-thread harness system! This sounds amazing.. i hate re-threading the straps!! takes forever!!
I love that this has a no re-thread harness!
I like the 4 position recline feature.
I love that it has such a range in stages..it grows with baby.
I love the fact that it is a 3 in 1 car seat. Saving money.
I can’t imagine that the feature of having a car seat that grows with your child couldn’t be the best feature. That is some huge savings!
Safety always matters most, but the fact that it is adjustable for up to 80 lbs. is great, too.
I love that it can go up to a booster seat!

I LOVE the no re-thread harness, it is such an inconvenience to have to take the seat clear apart to resize the harness.
I like that it will fit my daughter who keeps outgrowing everything, and yet could easily be passed down to a younger child once she outgrows it.

Easy installation sounds good to me!

My biggest concern does it protect my grandbaby? Looks are great, but the safety features are what I like best!
I would love this for my son I have always loved Safety 1st products. The 3-in-1 feature is the best
I love the full body side impact protection.
The 5 point harness !!
I love that this seat can be used as a car seat up to 80 lbs. Of course it can be used as a booster beyond that, but if our lady grows anything like her Daddy she will still be pretty young when she hits the maximum weights on most seats and I want to keep her in the car seat for as long as I can.
I love that it can adjust to hold children from infant to 100 pounds. No switching seats every time they grow

The safety of the five pt harness is what seems the best feature.
