  Baby Products Reviews of Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Portica

  Customer Review: Buy this instead of the SnugRide, can use it for longer.
  Summary: 5 Stars

  - I have a Subaru Impreza wagon and this seat will not fit behind the front seats but needs to be in the middle. Even then my front seats need to be a little further forward than I would have them if I did not have the car seat in the back.
  - The base is a snap to install - well, two snaps really, with the LATCH system. We bought two bases which is not really neccessary as it is easy to get in and out, you can easily move the base from one car to the other. I don't recommend buying two bases unless you are moving the car seat from one car to another more than weekly.
  - The sunshade is excellent as it is so large. It provides shelter from wind, sun, light rain, snow and provides a bit of darkness so my baby can fall asleep if we are out and about.
  - The SafeSeat I purchased came with a boot which hooks on with two elastic bands and is pathetic for keeping baby warm, it barely covers baby's feet. However it is useful for helping to keep blankets from falling out or being kicked out.
  - Straps are easy to adjust into the different slots and to lengthen once baby grows bigger or starts wearing thick Winter coats.
  - The carry handle requires two hands to fold up and down. A pet peeve of mine is anything baby related that requires two hands but this is a really, really annoying thing about this car seat that often bothers both my husband and I. I have a feeling all car seats are the same in this regard but I'm not sure.
  - The padding seems good and my baby seems comfortable.
  - The user manual is available for free on Graco's website when you lose the copy included with your seat.
  - I used a Baby Bjorn, now an Ergo, in the supermarket so cannot comment on how it sits on a shopping cart. Similarly I would just wheel him in to a restaurant in the stroller frame so I cannot say how the seat fits into restaurant highchairs.
  
  Buying the SafeSeat (in early 2008, in a different pattern) meant I could completely skip the rear facing convertible stage and go straight to a Britax Frontier which is a forward facing seat that converts to a booster. The extra weight (over the SnugRide) did not bother me as I never carried the car seat very far, I either carried the baby or snapped the car seat into the Graco stroller frame. I recommend everyone to buy this instead of an infant seat that only carries babies to 23lb and I have spoken to several Mums/Moms who are switching to the rear facing convertible who wish they had bought this instead of the smaller SnugRide. They all have to buy strollers now as well as convertible seats.
  This car seat and the stroller frame make a great stroller, I love that I walk facing the baby and in Winter he can stay snug and warm and he is sheltered. It is also good for Stroller Strides exercise sessions.
