Baby Products Reviews of Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat, Platinum
Customer Review: Good Car Seat for First-Time Parents
Summary: 4 Stars
As a first-time parent it's difficult to choose from the zillions of options for car seats. You want one that's safe, but you don't want to compromise your style. We ended up selecting this seat because of the weight, safety ratings, and color. We initially purcahsed the SafeSeat and ended up returning it because it was heavier, bigger, and wasn't as compatible with strollers/carts as the Snugride.
Our son is 3 months and so far we like the seat. Here are some pros/cons:
PROS:
=> It's easy to get in and out of the car.
=> Matches the interior of our car
=> Lightweight
=> Since it's so popular, it's compatible with a lot of strollers
=> Works great with the Snap N Go frame -- we've used the carseat as our buggy/stroller for the first three months since we live in a colder climate and don't go for a lot of walks in the dead of winter, so it's used to-from the car and at our destination for short periods of time.
CONS:
=> The chest buckle is difficult to hook/un-hook at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad. However, it is annoying when you can't unhook the buckle to rescue a screaming baby from the seat.
=> My husband wished the handle were angled, like the EvenFlo and Baby Trend seats, but it's too late now to return it, so we deal with it.
=> I don't understand the footmuff -- the velcro holds the fabric back, but when you unvelcro it and put it over the baby there is no velcro to attach it to on the seat so the muff just sticks up the air and doesn't provide a lot of warmth.
Customer Review: great carseat!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Graco products and this car seat was no exception. (my older son has the Graco Nautilus car seat) I decided on this model because the colors are gender neutral, and it has things like strap covers and the boot included too. I love that the boot helps keep my son from kicking blankets off! This car seat seams to have more padding than some of the other car seats that I looked at, and my son stays happy and comfy even on longer trips in the car.
The Graco SnugRide is also one of the top safety rated infant car seats on Consumer Reports which is a huge plus!
Customer Review: worst car seat ever
Summary: 1 Stars
I have twins and unfortunately bought two of these before I knew any better. Everything about it is cheap. the worst part is the red 'lever' you have to push in when you want to raise the handle - on both of mine 50% of the time - always when the baby is crying - the red lever gets stuck somehow and WILL NOT push in to raise the handle bar. Spend a few extra bucks and get something that wasn't designed by a bunch of morons. This is terrible.Customer Review: Great product

This carseat is fantastic. Out infant will sleep for hours in it. Very comfortable and easy to use and operate. We also have the snuglider swing and the snugrider stoller. It's the best system out there...we can transfer our little girl from the car to the stoller and to the swing with ease.
