Baby Products Reviews of Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat, Platinum
Customer Review: Graco Snug Ride
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this car seat, very affordable. Cute fabric lining. Not too heavy to carry, as far as car seats go. Works with Baby Trend stroller perfectly. 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: 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 Item!
Summary: 5 Stars
The car seat is adorable, I order it as a gift for a bridal shower and is very cute.Customer Review: Strapping in the child feature is extremely inconvenient and impractical - BEWARE!
Summary: 2 Stars
We recently bought this car seat without knowing that Graco car seats actually have 2 different kinds of methods of tightening the baby seat belt in the car seat. We found that this particular colour that we bought Tango, you had to place the child in the seat, tilt the car seat forward, all the while making sure to hold the child in the seat so that he does not fall out, tighten the belt from the back of the car seat before the belt is tight enough to be used. There is the other type of car seat where there is a strap at the bottom where you can simply just pull to tighten. I do not know why Graco is still circulating car seats that has the extremely impractical and inconvenient model. In the end we returned this seat to Amazon, and went to Babies R US to view the right model and bought from there. We ended up paying a cheaper price as well.
