Good Investment!5
I absolutely recommend this infant seat! My son is almost 1 now and I am still using this seat. It is fabulous for it’s fabric options of colors and most importantly for it’s roominess. My son is on the chunky side, being an exclusively breastfed baby. He is still quite comfortable in this seat and I love being able to just attach him to the stroller as i walk my 4 year old into her her preschool. The travel system as a whole catches the eyes of many and I am always stopped by people saying..”what a ride!”. Well it is, quite a ride. If you buy this car seat, it will last you for the entire FIRST YEAR of your baby’s life. Thank you Graco!

the best infant car seat out there – period5
For our first baby, we had a top-rated infant car seat made by Century. We did not like the fact that our baby was not leaning back properly and her head was always hanging to the front. Then we got the SnugRide as a hand-me down from a friend. It was ok, but outgrown too fast, so we lost the convenience of just taking her out of the car in the car seat instead of having to wake her up. LAst year we had our second baby and after using these two car seat for about a week (one on each car), my husband decided he hated them both and went and got this Safe Seat and two bases. Wow! What a difference. It is very comfortable. Our son fitted just right and seemed very comfortable. It is so easy to install and adjust. Our son is now 14 months, 31 inches long and 25 pounds and we are still happily using it… probably for another month when he reaches the limit. We are super happy with this purchase.

Great Carseat4
This is a great car seat. I recently bought this one, it is cute for a boy or girl.

Travel. I took my child in a plane for travel I used the Graco car seat bag for the valet check, it worked great. I did not take the base with us and it fit safe and secure in the car using the seat belt. It was a little tricky since the belt strap has to go over the car seat, it was easy with two people one on each side it took less then a minute to secure.

I also bought the Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame. They work great together. Just a couple problems. 1. If you put coffee in the cup holder and go over a bump it could spill on your child. 2. If you have a diaper bag you want to put on the bottom of the stroller, put it in before you put attach the car seat. Otherwise then that, it is fast to open and to travel with.

Note about the base, it is easy to adjust. However, if you have a car with leather seats it is difficult to secure the base. With the use of a non slip rug mat between the seat and base along with a cut up noodle (yes the ones you use in the pool) it was secure. I learned this trick from a fireman who installed the car seat for my 2 year old.

Working with a double stroller by BOB. I also recently bought a Bob Revolution stroller with car seat attachment. Some of the other carseats that work with the BOB stroller requires the back of the stroller to be adusted down (this would mean that everytime you open the stroller it would have be adjusted). I did not have to do this for this carseat, just pop it in and attach the strap and go.

I am very pleased with my purchase.

Lightweight, Sturdy, and Stylish!5
I picked this infant seat for a few reasons:

It is lightweight, only 7 lbs itself w/ out base,( and baby)

It has the EPS foam lining the seat between the plastic and the fabric baby sits on.

The fabrics used are easy to clean and are the colors I was looking for, Black, and Beige orange accent color. There is a velvet fabric in beige that is super soft!

It comes with a removable foot cover which will be great in the winter months or when going to the park in the stroller.

It also comes with removable shoulder strap covers (to lessen the irritation of the straps) and removable head support all which you can throw in the washer and clean if need be.

The canopy is a little flimsy but also removable, and it has a peep hole in the top so you can see the baby through it from the top.

The base it comes with is super easy to install took husband 5 mins, onces he read through the instructions, they make it very clear if it is installed correctly or not..
Overall I really like this car seat and I will recommend it to my friends.

Color is not what I expected2
The car seat is fine as far as usage and construction. What I found disappointing is the color and design of this particular car seat. It looks much better online than it does in person. In person, the fabric is more of a beige color than gray.
