Car Seat Installation on Stroller Frame
The OnBoard FLX infant car seat clicks directly onto the stroller frame without the need for additional adapters. Align the car seat with the designated slots on the stroller frame and press down firmly until you hear a click, indicating it is securely latched. This allows for quick transitions from car to stroller.
