Summary: 5 Stars
We're expecting twins and need car seats for them. We used a Graco SnugRide with my son 4 years ago but 1. that was before the redesign that lets them hold a little bigger baby and 2. the padding in his was THIN and 3. a cat got in our garage and peed on his so I don't want to use it again EVER (except maybe to hurl at that cat).
My biggest concern with the SnugRide was that my son's was so hard - he hated being in the car seat as an infant. I briefly considered getting something "fancier" (such as the Chicco Keyfit) thinking it might be more comfortable for baby OR getting the Graco SafeSeat 1 since it can be used longer. However, the fancier seats cost more and the SnugRide has always come out on top for safety - even with the recent bizarre recalled safety test, Graco won. So I set about finding a SnugRide that was comfy - and not ugly! (There are some remarkably hideous SnugRides out there!!!)
A tip - the Graco seats that come with the travel systems *seem* to be more cheaply made, thin padding, etc. If you want a nice one, you may have to buy alone - not an issue for us since Graco doesn't sell a double travel system anyway that I can tell. Look for the Gracos with the "gracopedic" foam. Some of the SafeSeats have them, some of the SnugRides have them. It's GOOD stuff.
The cover on this seat is flashy, but neutral. I mean, you can use it for a girl or a boy. We are having two little girls and hope to have one more child - this could be re-used either way.
The fabric is nylony - kind of smooth, slippery, not scratchy. *Maybe* not as nice as cotton but my thinking is little spills will wipe off easily.
Two cons - sunshades have to be assembled yourself and it's a little tricky, and I don't know that the "boot" will proove that useful. But all around this is a safer, comfier, and cheaper seat than the flashier brands - even if it is pricey for a SnugRide. Worth the extra money.
We decided ultimately to skip the SafeSeat since, even though the longer range of use is nice, realistically we are not going to want to be hauling two babies in buckets once they get that big. The seat itself is bigger and just seems more akward over all. Maybe a good consideration, though, for only one baby.
SnugRide in Lotus seems the way to go, to me. Search around - I was able to get this seat for thirty bucks less than here. ;-)
