Baby Products Reviews of Graco Snugride Infant Car Seat, Metropolitan
Customer Review: very comfortable infant carseat
Summary: 5 Stars
i bought this carseat in the color 'lotus' (crimson and black) and my daughter loved riding in it. the double infant head support cushion was key during the first couple of weeks - i've talked with other people who've had difficulty using infant carseats with just a single head support, as the newborn's head bobbles around. excellent safety ratings and not TOO heavy, although not the lightest carseat out there. installation of the base into our car (prius) was fairly easy, although it required aggressive tightening (i.e. my brother-in-law getting on top of it and yanking really hard on the straps) to be really secure. getting the carseat in and out of the car was easy, and carrying was fine. the baby fell asleep in it a lot, but also just relaxed and enjoyed being rocked in it when we had it on the floor. nice padding. my only complaint: she outgrew it in 16 weeks.Customer Review: Simple Installation, Easily Snaps/Unsnaps, Lightweight and Oh So Cute!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research before choosing a car seat and, once settling on the SnugRide (based on safety reviews), I then had to decide on a pattern. I wanted something that was not "over the top" girly or a corny, "too pink & frilly" pattern. Once I saw the Betsey, with it's pink color and brown accents & flowers, I just had to have it.
I must not have been the only one because it was completely sold out and not expected in two two stores that carried for for at least three weeks. I ordered it from Amazon and got it in no time (with the Prime 2-day delivery). It was so simple to put together an even easier to install in the car. It's sturdy. The seat itself is very easy to put in the base and pull out of the base.
I would definitely recommend this seat to other mothers. My daughter looks so cute in it. Of course, my daughter always looks cute! :)
Customer Review: Great carseat!

My daughter is five months old and about ready to grow out of this carseat (she's almost 29 inches -- not too heavy for it but too tall almost).
It has been great -- fairly easy to install (I say "fairly" because it seems like all car seats are complicated), and seems comfortable for my daughter, the cover washes well, and I love the fabric -- not too babyish or tacky. It's starting to get heavy to carry now that she's about 15 pounds, but that has more to do with her than the seat. I liked the extra add-ons with this seat (head supports, strap covers, etc).
Recently I noticed that the back of seat cover was coming apart some after washing (other Gracos were recalled due to this). I emailed Graco and they are sending a replacement seat pad at no cost -- great customer service:) Overall, I have been very happy with this product.
Customer Review: Comfortable, reasonably priced and safe!

I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this car seat. This car seat consistently receives high safety ratings and is reviewed very favorably on Consumer Reports. It's light and easy to snap in and out of the base. You can purchase Graco's inexpensive Snugrider stroller frame to avoid even having to take the baby out of the seat. There are also adaptors for just about every stroller to snap this seat into it. The only con I have (that didn't warrant downgrading its rating) is that the fabric is very hot ... but then again all car seats are hot by nature of their design. It's not a huge issue, we just dress the baby a little lighter when he'll be in the seat for a long period of time.
All in all, this is a great buy for a high quality infant seat!
Customer Review: I Like It!!

After searching and searching for the "perfect" car seat (that was still affordable) we found the Graco Snugride.
It is easy to install, after you buckle the seatbelt just make sure you pull your seatbelt all the way out until you hear your "autolock" kick in and then slowly release the seatbelt back in. Once it is back in your seatbelt will hold the seat in place without the testher strap.
My daughter has been using this car seat for 6 months now and I haven't had an issue with it. It's easy to take in and out of the base with or without my daughter in it. I love the 5 point safety points on it, it makes me feel like she is truly as safe as she can be, and as she grows it is easy to adjust the straps.
