Baby Products Reviews of Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Base, Silver
Customer Review: Great Car Seat
Summary: 5 Stars
I had my car seat installed by a GRACO rep, so I may have avoided some of the frustration that way. One thing about the carseat that I did not realize prior to this is that you can adjust the height of the back of the carseat (the part facing the back of the vehicle.) Some of the previous posters have mentioned how tilted it is; they may want to try adjusting it. The car seat is very easy to install with the LATCH system, and it is easy to lift the baby seat in and out of the vehicle. I think that having a second base is great because now it doesn't matter who is going to pick up the baby. There is not a huge pre-planning hassle.Customer Review: A must have!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a mother of three, my oldest being 13 in 8 days and my youngest being 5 weeks, I have seen my share of good and bad infant seats. The SnugRide Infant Car Seat (Saratoga) is, by far, one of the best seats I have encountered. It's easy to install (we have a Dodge Grand Caravan and a Nissan Frontier Crew Cab) and the base stays put in it's place. The carrier easily locks into the base and is just as easy to remove. I've just ordered a second base so when I return to work my husband and I will both be able to use the infant seat in each of our vehicles. I highly recommend this product!!Customer Review: Best invention of all time.......

I have to say that I want to thank Graco for thinking of the parents!!!
This is probably the most innovative invention that anyone could have made. I love the fact that we don't have to move the base from car to car every time we change cars. This also saves us from having to buy a second seat for convenience.
Also, I love that I can just unlatch the carseat from the base and carry her inside in the seat. It keeps the seat from getting cold in the winter time since you can take it inside with you!
Everyone should have one!!!
Customer Review: Convenient, but think before buying.

A little known fact about the Graco SnugRide--you can use them without the base as a car seat, and it is every bit as safe (it actually seemed more secure to me). The bases mainly provide convenience.
If you will take your baby equally in both cars, then by all means buy an extra base. However, if you will use one vehicle as the primary baby transporter and the 2nd one only occasionally, save your money on this item. You can still take baby in the carrier with the seatbelt, and you'll have one less thing to store once you move into the "big" carseat.
Customer Review: Not Secure
Summary: 3 Stars
The manufacturer recommends use of the base up to 20 lbs. I would strongly disagree with this recommendation. I would not use this base for any baby that weighs 15 lbs or more. I purchased the Snug Ride Infant Car Seat with base and matching stroller. Using the base made it easier to get the car seat in and out of the back seat of our two-door car. However, once my child reached about 15 lbs it started to tip over when turning corners, so I had to stop using it. I had it fastened using an shoulder belt, and could not figure out the use of the latches.
