Baby Products Reviews of Graco SnugRide 32 Infant Car Seat, Zurich
Customer Review: Great carseat for a good value
Summary: 5 Stars
This car seat has been great for our infant (now 7 months old). We were deciding between the Chico, Britax and Graco 30+ lb rear facing seats. In the end, glad we went with this one. It was less expensive and provides excellent safety and our son has been quite comfortable in it. It was a little big but managable in our Subaru Forrester. We had to buy a new car - and went with an SUV - it certainly easily fits in it. Easy to get in and out of the base. It is also an approved car seat for our Bob Revolution stroller - which we use daily (the Chico is not). We are hoping to use this rear facing until he is 32lbs or 32 inches (current AAP recommendations state that children should remain rear facing until as close to 2 years as possible). We will then purchase the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 or Britax Frontier which both go from front facing car seat to booster (up to 100 lbs). We will skip the purchase of a convertible seat - again saving some money.Customer Review: Snug for sure
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I installed this car seat by myself and I have to say it was a bit intimidating at first...but just take it one step at a time and the directions will be easy to follow and they are pretty thorough. You will get the car seat and base. Ours is nice and tight in the suv...not gonna slide around at all. It wouldn't hurt to have a second person look over the directions with you and help install it. This is a critical part of parenthood...installing this car seat properly :)
I saw some complaints about children sweating in this car seat? I wonder how the children were dressed...and was it summer? The seat may have been hot due to the sun creating a greenhouse effect in the car ya know? And we have to remember that the air conditioning doesn't reach the back seat like it does the drivers seat...
Anyway, if I have any issues with the car seat I will update this review. But so far so good.
Customer Review: Safety & Style
Summary: 5 Stars
The Graco snug rider has received excellent safety reviews, which was a paramount concern for selecting a car seat. My daughter-in-law and son researched all the options and chose the Zurich pattern for it's relatively neutral look. This is their first child- a girl- but they hope to have another so they wanted a car seat system that would suit either sex. The Quatro system has the versatility they are looking for to go from car to store etc. without having to disturb a sleeping baby, or struggle to remove the seat from the car. The price was comparable to the stores, but easier to get through Amazon (especially with no shipping charge!) It was received when promised. The convenience of being able to order the entire system through one site was an added bonus!Customer Review: Bigger than imagined
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, I haven't actually used this yet, as I still have four weeks to go. I checked out the carseat in a store before I ordered on Amazon [...] Boy, is it BIG! Since my car is pre-LATCH, I dutifully read the instructions for installation in the backseat with a seat belt. It does fit snuggly, but the front does not attach to anything, and so the few days I had it in the car to try it, the front moved side to side a little and definitely up and down over big bumps. I am looking forward to just snapping the carrier in and out so travelling should be easy. But, the carrier alone is ~9lbs, so when this tike gets up to 32 lbs, I think I'll look like Sly Stallone with all the muscles!
Customer Review: Great Product! Have a Preemie?
Summary: 5 Stars
We took our Preemie twin girls home when they were around 6 lbs. This car seat worked great for them. We added an additional head piece though that you can buy from Eddie Bauer. Now the 32's make it so you don't have as much room in the front seats. I had to sit my driver's seat straight up and pull the seat forward a bit to make room for the extra length of the 32's. It's a much bigger car seat than the regular snugrides, but I like it better...more protection it would seem. Installation is a breeze with the latch system. The 32's are heavier than the regular snugrides, but it's not too bad for us, but we are strong people. If you're little, I wouldn't get this one.
