Baby Products Reviews of Graco Snugride Infant Car Seat, Metropolitan
Customer Review: not used yet
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased two of these seats and two extra bases for my twins who should be here soon. I haven't used the seats yet, but I thought that I would mention that they are quite large. These are my first kids so I don't know how big most seat are, but these were hard to fit in my husbands car. My husband is 6'2" and he finds it difficult to drive his car (a 2004 Jetta) with a seat behind him (which is unavoidable with twins). My Sunfire is not quite as bad, but the drivers seat is not as far back as my husband would like. Aside from that, they seem like nice seats, but they would be easier to use in a larger car.Customer Review: Pleased

We got this seat in a different color for our first baby. We feel very secure with it. Easy to install and a little hint, they try to get you to buy the second base for the snugride if you have two cars... you don't need it, you can fasten the seat without the base. the directions for it are on the seat.
I like that we can move the canopy to wherever the sun is to directly block it, and that it's transportable to our stroller. (bough seperatly) It comes with a head "brace" whatever those things are called to cradle the head. Those never do anything, and are pretty useless, but the seat itself is great.
Customer Review: Cannot be made secure

After seeing the latest Consumer Reports article on infant car seats, I immediately replaced my Britax Companion with a Graco Snugfit. The Britax had previously been highly rated, but the latest test trashed it. We were surprised, becuase it is the first seat we have owned (on our 3rd kid), that really was rock solid snug once installed. I bought a Graco Snugfit, and I have nothing good to say about it. No matter how tight I got the straps attached to the LATCH in my 2006 Honda Odyssey, I could still flip the seat up and side to side with very little effort. For now, I'm sticking with the Britax.Customer Review: strapping mechanism is not user friendly

I ordered this product because I was very happy with a previously owned graco infant seat, and found out we were having twins so we needed another. What I didn't pay attention to when we ordered it was that this seat can only be loosened and tightened from the back of the seat, because it did not have the tightening strap in the front like most other seats. That means the only way you can adjust the straps is if the seat is not in the base or the stroller. VERY INCONVENIENT. We returned it to Amazon without a problem and bought a more expensive Graco that had the tightening strap in front.Customer Review: Nice car seat, our second purchase.

This is our second Graco car seat. We purchased the same model style as our first seat. This has the front adjust system. Do not buy a Graco without front adjust. Also, this seat fits our old base, so now we have two bases, one for each vehicle. We purchased a stroller and seat combo on our first purchase. Good durability, we were using our first stroller and seat for our second child. We could not find the same fabric style on our new seat. This seat was the closest color match we could find. We were very happy with the first car seat we had but our cat destroyed it one evening.
