Reliable, Easy and Attractive July 20, 2010

My husband and I decided to purchase a Graco infant car seat after the good experience we had with our firstborn's Graco travel system. We decided on the Snugride in Platinum because of its neutral tones and good reviews, and I liked the fact that it includes a foot muff for cooler weather. We wanted a color that would pair nicely with the Graco Snugrider stroller frame, and this works brilliantly. The photo makes the light color look almost silver though, when in fact the seat is black with a khaki/beige accent color. I expected that from other reviews I've read, and it's still neutral and sharp looking, so we don't mind. Once we received it, the seat was easy to install in our vehicle (Latch system) and the sun shade was really the only item needing assembly. (That took about five minutes.) The sun shade seems a teeny bit flimsy and the material of the foot muff seems likely to snag on Velcro or other rough materials, but so far we haven't had any problems with either. The material of the seat pad, head positioner and foot muff is extremely soft, which I appreciate for our tender little newborn. It was nice not having to spend the extra money on a car seat head positioner, this one works just fine for our compact little 7-pounder, and I'm pretty picky about his comfort. The 5-point harness, albeit super-safe, is a little cumbersome next to a baby body, but we've remedied that with soft strap covers and our baby doesn't seem to be bothered much by it, and snuggles right into his seat when we travel. I find the seat to be fairly light to carry, and have even lifted it without straining or hurting myself within a week of having a C-section. (Not recommended at all, but shows how light the seat is.) As expected, we're finding this seat to be extremely easy to use, comfortable for baby, well-constructed and attractive. There are a lot of trendy and pricey car seats on the market, but Graco is a trustworthy and reliable brand that offers a great product that we've been very happy with, for a fraction of the cost of other car seat manufacturers.

This suited us really well for our son's first few months. Unfortunately, as he grew, the seat seemed to become more and more uncomfortable for him. We switched over to a convertible car seat (Britax Boulevard, which has been great) by the time he was 7 months. Beware: the color can look a little dingy with wear and tear.
Very good car seat! April 11, 2010

I did a lot of research before purchasing this car seat. Consumer reports liked it so i keep looking at it. I also purchased the stroller that this car seat fits in (which i also love - maybe even more than this car seat). The car seat is very easy to use. It was very easy to put together ( so was the stroller). This car seat comes in and out of the base very easily. I do recommend purchasing a base for each vehicle. The only think i'm not crazy about is my son is 7mths old and is approaching the weight limit for this seat. Had i known more about car seats i probably would have purchased a convertible seat in the beginning. I don't mind spending extra money if i know its something i'm going to use for a long time. Now 7 mths into it, and i have to find a new car seat that can accomidate my son. With that said... I do love this carseat.
great, soft, not as heavy as other brands November 18, 2009

This is a very good car-seat. It is soft and seems confortable for the baby.
I just wanted to add that the color is more kaki than white, I was expecting some much lighter hue.
The size is good, and a word to those deciding what to buy:
. This car seat does not have the side impact protection. That is the only con.
. The bigger the car seat the longer you will be able to use it BUT, the heavier and bulkier it will be. With the new bigger carseats you are talking about carrying 50 pounds to get your baby out of the car with the seat (25 for the seat, about 25 -or even more- with the baby). So that is something to consider before buying.
Excellent Car Seat- Love it!!! Top Choice November 12, 2009

Before my daughter was born I did a lot of research before deciding on a car seat. This one really appealed to me based on other reviews and the top rated safety ratings. The neutral colors are great too, not too girly or boyish. When I received it as a shower gift I was immediately impressed. It is very light and the seat is so comfy feeling with lots of padding, removable head and body supports and high sides to protect my baby. The attached bunting is removable and was very nice especially with a newborn during the colder months. And the adjustable/removable cover is great in all weather; keeps the cold wind off, the sun out and the rain away. The base was easy to install in the car with the latch anchor system, and it is adjustable. We brought our baby girl home from the hospital in it and she fit perfect even though she was so tiny at 6.5lbs. The harness has removable comfort bands, the chest closure and each side of the harness attach separately into the crotch latch which is very nice and makes like so easy with a squirming infant. Even now at 7 months our baby girl fits perfectly and it is so easy to get her in and out of the car. I would also recommend the Graco stroller they make travel and just running everyday errands so easy; the car seat comes out of the car and clicks right into the stroller and off we go. Definitely recommend this car seat it is awesome!!
