For comparison we had a Chico car seat before, this 35 Elite is lighter. The base is designed such that the car seat sits deep in the seat, giving room between the front seat and the back of the car seat. The sun shade works well and is easy to open and close with one hand, and doesn't feel cheap. Previous car seats I've owned always had sun shades that sagged or got stuck and required 2 hands to move. Biggest drawback is that when the button on the handle is pressed to change the position for carrying or when it is in the car you have to press and release the button at each of the positive stops. Adds some inconvenience and is why I removed 1 star, otherwise would be a 5 star product.","reviewer_name":"Jspattickles"},{"date":"2025-07-16","title":"Look very well built, nice fabric","rating":5,"content":"Glad we upgraded to the Elite, the fabric and leg cover are very nice quality and installed easily in the car.

Also, it’s sometimes nearly impossible to get the car seat out of the base. I squeeze the release button and pull up with all my strength but it still won’t budge. I have to remove my baby from the car seat first and then squeeze the release buttons with both hands and then pull. It’s extremely difficult concerning.

Unsafe - need to forcefully push down each corner of seat in order to secure into base. VERY difficult to get out of the base. Canopy gets stuck under handle. One handed push button to move handle gets stuck coming half way down. My son is 2.5 months old - 18 lbs and the car seat headrest makes it a really tight fit. This car seat advertises that it hold babies up to 45 lbs I believe. $292.00 for this car seat and I now need to look for another car seat that is compatible with our stroller. Graco really lost sight of what was important to families with this car seat. 3rd child - 4th Graco car seat - very disappointed.

We purchased the Premier Snugride Snugfit 35 Elite Seat in Savoy. There's a reason it is no longer offered on the website. It absolutely SUCKS. It started out great. Cute seat, happy baby, nice fit. After a few months the seat was getting stuck in the base. Then I noticed the seat was not latching properly. I would hear the clicks and think it was all good. Pulling out of our driveway one day I heard it click again. When I got out to check, I had to forcefully push down each side to ensure it was locked in place. This is highly unsafe!! We have four bases total as we have four vehicles transporting my son, those bases are not cheap! I initially thought the base I had was bad as none of the other bases had the issue I was having, but after I emailed Graco one of the other bases started doing the same thing! Maybe since mine was primarily used while on maternity leave it was broken in more and now my husbands has been getting more use and showing signs of issues. I shouldn't have to put my body weight on his carseat to ensure that it is locked in place. I also should not have to use two hands on the release button to release the seat because it is stuck. Even then it doesn't always come out or only one side will release. I hope Graco will do something about this issue. I have emailed them, just waiting on a response.","reviewer_name":"Logan11"},{"date":"2023-10-15","title":"First time mom","rating":5,"content":"Love it! So cute and comfy.

When you sit it in the base, it’ll click once, maybe twice. So you THINK your baby is safe. But if you push on all 4 of the corners of the car seat, you’ll find out that it’ll click several more times!!!! Meaning it’s falsely leading parents to believe the car seat is secure! And 50% of the time, when I go to remove the seat, it’s stuck. It will release in one area, but not fully. So the only way I’ve found to get it unstuck is to push down on all 4 corners to relatch the car seat into the base, then start over trying to pull it out. The car seat crotch buckle also leaves such a gap between the buckle and crotch on a newborn, it allows for baby to slide down and scrunch up. Baby didn’t fit good in this car seat until about 10 lbs. All of that being said, the material is really nice. The design is nice. And the strap adjusting is super convenient and easy to use. Same with the one button handle. Overall though, I would not recommend this exact car seat to anyone I know. Matter of fact, a friend had this on their registry and after I explained all of this to them, they switched to a different Graco seat. Being able to rely on the car seat being clicked in FULLY EVERY TIME is a deal breaker.","reviewer_name":"Heather0412"},{"date":"2023-07-29","title":"Top Button for Handle lasted less than 3 months","rating":3,"content":"I was extremely excited when purchasing this car seat for my new born.

They car seat is great! Fits her well and she looks so comfortable in it. The weather boot is an added plus! My baby likes to kick the blanket off her legs. This weather boot keeps her warm without the blanket she constantly kicks off or could turn into a safety issue. Now the base…it is great when it wants to work correctly. Some times it will not let go of the car seat. The handle locks up and there is no way to get it off without using your entire body weight and rocking the car seat back and forth. I guess that comes in handy if I were to be in a car accident…I know it wouldn’t go anywhere. But when you don’t have 10 minutes to use with it …it’s annoying. I also have problems with the car seat not wanting to get out of the premier savory stroller. ..so maybe it’s a car seat latch issue.","reviewer_name":"Alexj05"},{"date":"2023-06-27","title":"LOVE SO MUCH!","rating":5,"content":"I finally had my double rainbow baby boy and I've been loving this carseat for him its amazing!","reviewer_name":"Ally cat"},{"date":"2023-06-20","title":"Get it","rating":5,"content":"So spacious! I love the look of this car seat and the adjustable headrest. My baby was 9 lbs and we had an infant car seat smaller than this one and quickly realized he was going to outgrow it, so at 2 months we got this one and wish we had this all along! It’s not near as heavy as the other carriers I have felt before. I love that the shade goes nearly all the way down, this is perfect for when the sun is going down and we are driving. The sun will usually get in my baby’s eyes and I’ll have to throw a blanket over it to shield him, but not with this one. I love that there are multiple places that the seat locks into the base with. The only thing I wish was better is the chest piece. I feel it’s flimsy plastic and not very sturdy. I’m the flip side, I don’t have to worry about hurting my baby by scratching him with hard plastic. I don’t like the strap covers, as they are very scratchy and not soft.

I’m also disappointed because when I go to click the car seat in my car, it won’t connect without forcefully having to push down on it and having to rock it side to side to make it go into place. For $300 car seat I’m very disappointed.","reviewer_name":"Madison21"},{"date":"2023-03-07","title":"Wonderful Carseat Choice!","rating":5,"content":"Great Carseat.

I LOVE the one button release on the handle instead of 2. Mommas know how often we have our hands full so that’s such a big plus! I saw other reviews about issues with the release from the base, but I haven’t had any issues with that on mine. It isn’t the lightest car seat, but with all the additional safety features that is to be expected. It is super soft and I love that I don’t have to rethread the straps as baby grows. The canopy extends really far which is nice for privacy, I can be a stickler for people not reaching in to touch baby so I like that, along with the mesh window to check on baby without lifting the canopy.

I've contacted Graco customer service with all the information they've asked for (video, order #, proof of purchase) and have been ignored. There should be a recall on these car seats as it has failed the basic functional requirement to stay LOCKED into the base. I can hear the snap/clicks that confirms the car seat is in the base, however I can lift the car seat out of the base without unlocking it. Bad design? Bad manufacturing? Both?

It was amazing at first but they are 10 months old now and it constantly gets stuck in the base every time I try to get them out so stuck that I CANNOT get it out. And when I go to put the seats in it will NOT click into the base without forcefully pushing down on all the sides. I did a TON of research before choosing the car seat I wanted for them and read so many reviews. I don’t normally post reviews and feel terrible posting a bad one but reading them always helps me. That being said I was extremely disappointed when we started having issues and considering how much we paid to have 2 of them. We had a evenflow with our daughter and never had any type of issues with it and that is a much cheaper band seat. Though the adjustable head rest is a pro and the comfort and classy look but not enough to weigh out the issues with getting it in and out of the car.","reviewer_name":"DevanG"},{"date":"2022-10-15","title":"Beautiful, but Not Functional","rating":2,"content":"This car seat is just as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures! We also like the all-weather boot and the large sunshade. Unfortunately, though, it is very difficult to get into and out of the car seat base. We have to push on all four corners of the seat to get it to click in completely every single time we put it in our car. Definitely makes me stress about how safe it is sometimes. When removing the car seat from the base, it takes a lot of force on the handle to get it to disengage, sometimes I have to use two hands. We originally hoped it was just stiff and these problems would work themselves out, but even after a month of use nothing had improved. We then hoped it was just a defect with the car seat we received, but I reached out to Graco 4 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything back. For how much money this car seat costs, we expected it to be the best we've ever had. In reality, the much cheaper Evenflo car seats we've used with our other kids worked much more smoothly and we are very disappointed.","reviewer_name":"Kristen100"},{"date":"2022-09-14","title":"Latching to base is too difficult","rating":1,"content":"This is the second one of these car seats i have had, the first one graco replaced because the seat wouldnt latch into the base properly, and it would get stuck trying to take it off the base.

The car seat is high end. The fabric is extremely soft and the head support is fantastic for s newborn. The base is also great. HOWEVER… I purchased this car seat because I liked the idea of a hand button in the middle I could put it up and down with one hand. The button almost always sticks and I have to practically break my thumb to get it to go down. It also stops half way down so I have to repress the button to get it down all the way. Also the canopy gets jammed and stuck under the bar every time also. It comes unsnapped every time I put it up. Again the fabric is very high end and soft which I love but there’s so much padding under her back that she is almost always sweating when she’s in the seat. It’s been two months now and as much as I wanted to love this expensive luxury car seat, I don’t.","reviewer_name":"GG75"},{"date":"2022-08-04","title":"Worth every penny","rating":5,"content":"This seat is well worth the investment to have something that is extremely safe, easy to use, looks sharp, and will outlast other systems with its slightly higher weight rating. The learning curve on using this seat is very easy, and installation is a snap once you’ve sorted out the latch points in your vehicle for the base, which is included. There are also easy-to-follow instructions for installation without the base, if you may be traveling in someone else’s vehicle. The interoperability with stroller systems is very nice as well. The sun shade is nice and much bigger than expected and does a very good job of protecting our girl from the sun, especially in combination with the stroller system: the two combined interlock and provide 100% coverage. Overall, the travel system is a solid set and a good choice for people willing to spend the money for a solid, reliable, and safe system over a bargain product.","reviewer_name":"Super Daddy"},{"date":"2022-07-23","title":"Great car seat for infants","rating":5,"content":"Great car seat!

It is a perfect fit for my SUV and I'm able to fit it in a small compact car as well. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I'm so happy that I was introduced to it. This car seat is a game changer. I'm a foster parent so my infants come in many sizes and shapes. this carrier is a breeze to transition to a different child. Simply press a button on top of the headrest to adjust the height. a latch system with a adjustable base that has lever indicators. This combination allowed me to easily secure and install the seat in minutes. The seat has a Anti-Rebound bar which is very impressive it actually makes this seat the securest carrier I've ever owned. The way the seat snuggles into the rebound bar allows for a secure grip, this is a fabulous design. I don't have to continuously readjust the base, It's a one time set-up and its secured. I really enjoy the look and comfort this carrier provides. It is very sleek looking and has added snug-able comfort. Very easy to clean and re-install.

I love the ease in which I can remove the car seat from the base and take baby in and out. The car seat being a carrier is so nice. It's light weight and simple to carry. Having a little cover over baby for cooler weather is usually an upgrade, but Graco has made it standard on their premier model and we are about it!

It has been so easy to use all-around; from installation to every day use to using with a Graco travel system. One of the most helpful features for installation was the bubble level on the base - it made it so much easier to install without having to try to work around the carrier part of the car seat. Another feature I really liked was the SnugLock Lock-Off. It helped me to feel the carseat was more secure to have the base have additional attachment to the LATCH straps. The same goes for the anti-rebound bar. The extra safety features are absolutely worth it and provide me with extra peace of mind. The adjustable base made it possible to install the car seat in my minivan without needing any additional supplies like a pool noodle. The carrier part of the seat goes in and out of the base without any struggle. My absolute favorite feature of the car seat is the one-hand adjustment of the carrier handle. I have five kids and don't always have two hands available to move the handle position, so this has been such a nice feature. I also really like the oversized canopy and the mesh screen on the carrier. The one-hand adjustable harness height has been another great feature that makes this car seat so easy to use. Adjusting the straps for my quickly-growing baby is so easy and takes practically no time. Overall, I am so very happy with my Graco Premier SnugRide SnugFit 35 Elite carseat!

The car seat has a premium look and feel with a gray unisex fabric that easily hides stains and brown trim. It looks comfortable and secure for baby and has some great features for parents. One of the things we loved are the one hand adjustments - this allows you to easily adjust the strap height, remove the carrier from the base, and move the handle bar (any parent knows how fantastic this is in a hurry). My absolutely favorite feature though is the canopy - its pulls down further than the standard car seat to give baby extra protection from the sun, and has a flap in the back with mesh for additional airflow. Used with the included cover our little one is extra comfy for car trips and errands. The base itself is easy to install and has an anti-rebound bar for extra peace of mind. The base height is also adjustable to help get to the perfect angle for individual cars (without tricks like rolled towels). We are able to install this car seat behind the drivers seat and in the row with our toddler with no space issues. The only feature I wasn't super happy with is the latch strap. It comes separate from the base so you have to thread it yourself. I could see this being useful if the latch isn't being used for easy storage. For our use, however, we anticipate using the latch for the duration of the car seats use. Overall, I highly recommend this car seat for any parents concerned with safety, ease of use, and style.

I recently was able to try the Premier SnugRide SnugFit 35 Elite with my little one for a few weeks and would not hesitate to buy another Graco car seat in the future. The manual was overwhelming at first and the base installation somewhat more complicated than I was hoping, but the diagrams were easy to follow and made it easy to get the seat level. It wasn’t as bad to install as I thought it would be. Once that is done, the seat itself was simple to click into the base. It is also adjustable based on your child’s age, which I have found in the past means they will be more comfortable for a longer period of time. As someone who struggles with all of the buckles and handles on baby products, the straps, levers and fasteners were sturdy but easy to use. I also really liked the look of this car seat. It has this gray denim-ish finish with brown leather style trim and looks very high end and expensive. The All-Weather Boot and canopy were also nice to have when carrying my baby into the doctor’s office during a cold, drizzly day. The anti-rebound bar was a nice safety feature that I had not seen before. It was just one extra thing to make me feel like my baby was safe. My one complaint was that the base is on the bulkier size – great for safety but not amazing if you have a smaller car. In general, I found it to be a solid and attractive seat that my baby was comfortable in.

After using the car seat for a couple of weeks there are a handful of features that stood out to me. I absolutely love the adjustable headrest. It's so much easier to use and adjust the harness to the baby's height compared to my other car seat where you have to thread the straps in and out. The padding on both sides of the headrest helps support my baby's head when she falls asleep during the car ride so it's not flopping around. I wish I would've had this car seat when my baby was a newborn because the body support insert that comes with the car seat is very nice! It would have cushioned her in those early days. The canopy also extends further than my other car seat which blocks out the sun better. My favorite part is the all-weather boot. It is very easy to add on and protects her from the elements on the colder days. It is much more efficient than the blanket I would lay on her lap that she would eventually kick off. So yes, this car seat is much better than the one I was using. If you are considering it buy it!

The harness fits very secure on my baby’s chest and is very easy to adjust. Baby seems very comfortable in the seat and the amount of padding is perfect and supports his head and neck very well.

The carseat is nice and lightweight, making clicking the seat into the base a breeze even in a large SUV following a c-section.. This easily fits 3 carseats across in my Ford Expedition and did not feel too crammed with my two other Graco model carseats.. One of my favorite features is the anti rebound bar. It adds that extra layer of safety, and when installed you can see how important this feature is. I love knowing my baby is safe. Another big safety feature is the premium infant head and. body supports that add an extra piece of support for her little head. When she falls asleep on the road, I can see she is supported. We received many compliments on the carseat! I love the low canopy and the all weather boot. The canopy actually has a peekaboo window to see the baby from above! The fabric easily wipes clean, although it is completely removable to wash as needed! I also like the one-handed control of the handle. My only complaint is how difficult it is to remove from the base. It definitely takes some practice! I love the whole travel system!

I received this Graco Premier SnugRide SnugFit 35 Elite a few weeks ago through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and immediately fell in love with the high-end design, comfort, and safety measures of this infant carrier. It is easy to use and transitions seamlessly from base to stroller! The base took no time at all to install and the adjustable base made it easy to ensure it was installed correctly. I never questioned the safety of my child with the built in anti-rebound bar and the click technology. The padded handle is an added bonus to support mama when carrying the seat short distances! Plus, I love the full protection sun canopy and peekaboo window! Not once have I had to shield the sun from my baby’s eyes when going for a walk.

I have been wanting a new car seat for my 3 month old baby and this is more than I could have ever imagined getting! This carseat is sturdy but light. Carrying is so much more comfortable in your arms! Installing the base was easy and had great directions and indicators letting you know you have it correctly installed. I love the Anti-rebound bar and knowing that I have another level of protection for the most important things in our lives. The base can adjust as your baby grows and is able to support their necks more. This is such an easy and safe install and then such a quick latch in when ready to go! I am obsessed to say the least and the little lap cover is just another amazing feature! The shape and size is perfect and this carseat is so comfortable feeling and so clean and stylish.

Graco really stepped their game and I’m impressed! I have used some of the “designer” car seat brands and I would put this collection right up there with the most expensive brands in terms of overall quality. I feel like my sweet baby girl is so cozy in this car seat. The materials feel plush and it provides ample support for her head. There are a few pieces of functionality that really stood out. First, installation was so easy and quick! I couldn’t believe it! The adjustable base made it easy to make sure I had it just right. I always stress about making sure my car seat is installed correctly but it seriously took me seconds and I was on my way. The anti-rebound bar also gives an added layer of protection that gives me piece of mind while driving around town. Second thing that stood out was the adjustable headrest and harness. This is HUGE! I feel like I’m always adjusting and readjusting this in other car seats while my newborn grows a mile a minute. So easy to make quick adjustments while your little one is in the seat...life changing. And lastly, the sunshade provides so much coverage. There have been a few times when I preemptively try to avoid the piercing sun beams that usually blind my poor baby only to find the sunshade is actually doing its job and protecting her from the sun. Not something I can say for other infant car seats I have used. Overall, I’m very impressed with this car seat and love taking her safely around town in style.

I have more than one kid, I didn’t realize one handed strap adjustment was even a thing! This seats handle is perfectly ergonomic and the seat itself is definitely one of the lighter ones. The cover comes down quite far to keep the bright lights out, and has a peekaboo window. I like that it has a cover for his bottom half. The cover keeps his blankets from dragging on the floor too. The fabric is stylish and durable. The base is adjustable to ensure correct installation. The fact that they included an anti-rebound bar instills confidence that no other safety feature has been skipped.

How important is it you to have these additional safety features? * What did you think about the adjustable base? Did it help you install the seat accurately? * How easy was it for you to install this car seat? * What was your favorite feature of this car seat? Upon opening the box I was surprised at how nice this Graco car seat was! The seat is very padded and plush in comparison to other Graco products and had a more expensive and comfortable feel to it. The installation was super easy thanks in part to the LATCH system and adjustable base, which I appreciate so much as we can easily switch between our families 2 cars as necessary- and I would not have expected it to be so easy because of the anti-rebound bar, but it was not an issue when installing. The anti rebound bar is my favorite aspect of the seat, it makes me feel that my son is more safe than when using our usual car seat as the bar prevents any extra rotation in the event of an accident. My son is super comfortable in the seat (more so than our previous car seat) and the No-Rethread Simply Safe Adjust Harness System will make it easy to adjust the seat as he grows (you just pull up with one motion!)! The canopy is super large and has a mesh peekaboo window so I can still check on baby if I need to. Also it clicks into the Graco Premier Mode Avant Stroller super easily and makes going for a walk super easy!

My eyes immediately went to the headrest and harness adjustment handle. There were so many times I’ve had to change a car seat strap height, and unhooking the straps always proved to be a time consuming process. This was something I was very excited to see. This car seat looks like something you would see an influencer tote around and show off. The colors would go with anything and give the look of a fashionable car seat. I love it. The car seat base is easy to install, even though at first look I was a little surprised at seeing the bar. It looked like it would be really large and not fit well or be cumbersome. But this thing fit perfectly in my van, and it was narrow enough to fit between seats. It installed really easily and I feel like it was easy to get a tight fit. I love that installing the base using latch felt really secure as I prefer to use the latch system. I was not used to a latch system that you had to reposition yourself but this let me see that I had it correct with no twisted straps. I feel that every aspect of this car seat is designed with safety and ease of use in mind. The adjustable base feels a little higher than others and I feel it’s great to get the correct incline for my baby. I love the added stability provided by the anti-rebound bar! I never knew this was something that I needed. I’ve always been really scared of a car crash and that even if my baby was buckled correctly they would be thrown forward. I know that in the event of a wreck, this anti rebound bar could lessen the risk of injury to my child. I also love that the bar is on the base, and not the car seat. When the bar is on the base, I feel like it doesn't interfere as much with taking a long-legged, stiff as a board baby in and out of the car seat. My overall favorite feature of this car seat would be a tough choice between the anti-rebound bar. The adjustable handle for the headrest and the one button press to adjust the handle. This car seat is awesome and I’m so excited to continue to use it.

I own multiple Graco products and they never dissapoint. Through research I know that their carseat designs do very well in crash tests and the anti-rebound bar (ABR) on the Premier SnugRide SnugFit 35 Elite really kicks it up a notch. This was probably the most valuable feature. Hopefully we'll never need to utilize that feature, but my previous carseat didn't have an ABR, so now I have extra peace of mind. I thought maybe with the added ABR it might be a tight fit in my car, but I didn't find that to be the case. The installation of this carseat was extremely straightforward as you would expect from click base carseats. The added feature of the base being adjustable made proper install even easier. The instructions and markings on the base make it very clear when it's installed appropriately so I feel confident it will be safe. It's nice that this carseat had the option of being installed with either a seat belt or the latch system. Having the carseat easily click into the base is a must-have for any newborn carseat in my opinion. The handle and canopy are a breeze to adjust and the fabric and padding are top quality. I love the little peekaboo window on the canopy. The boot is easy to take on and off for the cold winter months when baby needs to keep nice and warm. I have this carseat in the savoy line and the neutral gray color scheme can easily be used for a baby boy or girl, not to mention it looks very chic. I've only spot cleaned several times, but the cover and canopy appear to be easily removed for a toss in the wash and so far has been simple to clean. My newborn seems very comfortable, and never too hot, which was an issue with my last carseat. An added bonus is that the seat clicks into place easily with the Graco stroller brands, and even has the ability to be used with other strollers (using an adapter) which makes it extra convenient when on the go and baby is already asleep. All around we love this carseat.

The carseat itself is very stylish and not quite as heavy as some other carseats. The quality of the material feels as well made as some of the more expensive brands. The one hand button to move the carrying bar was a nice touch. Carseat was a little harder to remove from base because there is fabric that covers the latch and straps latch was hard to find at first. You have to put your finger through the bottom buckle hole to find the release button so you can extrend out the straps. We had some issues installing the base, if you just followed the instructions the base didn't latch tight enough. It would slide around a lot if the bubble on the level is where it should be for newborns. We had to play with the level and height in order for the base to be securely latched. For us when the bubble on level indicted 3 months stage, only then latch straps n base could be installed tight enough. For us, it is ok, we don't plan to do much driving with newborn. Once latched tight, the base doesn't move at all and seems very secure so the baby isn't sliding all around in the backseat. The rebound bar only helps if the base is tightly latched, but I do think it's important to have the bar. Our babies will be safer if there was an accident or you break hard. Overall I like the look and quality of the carseat. It functions very well too, just the strap adjustment, unlatching carseat from base and installing base could be easier. Once you have the base installed securely, everything else you can get used to. Just need to use a little more strength removing carseat from base. For the strap adjustment, at least I know my son will never be able to accidentally loosen his seatbelt so he will always be securely belted in.","reviewer_name":"Ztyou2"},{"date":"2021-04-04","title":"Gorgeous Luxury","rating":4,"content":"Ok, I received the Premier SnugRide SnugFit 35 Elite from Stellar Product Testing Panel for my honest opinion. I love this car seat! It is so gorgeous and matches with my gender neutral theme. The fabric is soft but feels do durable. I love the whole look of it. Some major pros about this seat are: 1. You can use the base, which has a leveler to help make sure it's in right. 2. If I leave the base in one car I can still use the car seat in my other car. 3. The canopy has a screen on it so I can check on baby while not waking them up with lights. 4. The padding all around makes me feel more confident that my baby will be safe if something should happen. 5. I like that it clicks, letting you know that it's locked to the base or stroller. 6. It fit perfectly in the middle alone but with two little ones I was able to have their sis in the middle, enough room, and the seats on the outside and comfortably. And 7. The base has an adjustable base for various ages. It gives extra protection and allows less wiggling around. Some CONS about this seat are: 1. Even after reading the directions I couldn't get the handle to go all the way back like my other Graco seats. 2. I broke a nail when pushing the button, in the middle of the handle, while in a rush to get the car seat out and ready for the stroller. I'm used to the levers being on the sides of the handle and not on top. It's an adjustment but it's so gorgeous that I don't mind.

I've never used a car seat with the anti-rebound bar and for some reason, I assumed it was going to add some difficulty in regards to installation. But I found it wasn't difficult at all and I did feel like baby was just that much safer. Every car seat I've used before has required two hands to adjust the handle, so I really appreciated that this one only requires one-it does really help a ton to be able to do things with one hand when you already have your hands full with a little one. I think my only complaint was that it can be a tad tricky to get to move sometimes, but it's a great idea. I also really liked that you don't have to re-thread the harness when it comes time to move the straps for a growing baby-just simply pull up on a lever to adjust the straps and head rest. Another feature I loved with this seat is the boot that zips baby in so snug and cozy. That would really be a life saver in cold winter months. Nothing to do with the functionality or safety of this seat, but I also LOVED the fabric/color. It has a classy/sophisticated vibe to it and works for either gender.

Pros: I loved the anti rebound bar as it was one more thing to keep my 9lb baby safe and prevent me from worrying. The base was easy to install, making you get a more accurate fit, and I liked that you could use the seat with or without it. This allows you to install it on a plane and more easily travel without having to bring the base with you. The base would also be easy to install for a first time parent. Beyond safety, my favorite features were the adjustable straps and nice fabric that allows the car seat to grow with your baby and make sure they are comfortable at all times while still being safe. Our little one seems very comfortable. Cons: It was a bit bulky in our smallest car when installed behind the drivers seat with a tall driver. If you are shorter or don’t have a compact car I don’t think this would be an issue for you, otherwise I would suggest taking some measurements.

The Snuglock base is my absolute favorite pumpkin seat base to install. It is by-far the quickest and easiest install out of several different types and brands we have tried. The bar that comes down over the seatbelt easily cinches the belt super tight and secure. I can't say enough about how great this seat is to install! I appreciate the addition of the anti-rebound bar to add another layer of protection in the case of a crash. The no-rethread harness makes adjusting the strap height as baby grows super simple- much easier than having to rethread the straps! I also love the fabric and styling of this carseat. The gray with the brown leather detailing is very fashion-forward and neutral. It feels super high-end and looks expensive. The stitching is sturdy and seems like it will last well. The all-weather cover for baby helps keep toes warm and keeps the rain off. This carseat also has the best canopy for shade I've ever seen. It fully extends and provides awesome shade and weather protection. I like that it also has a flap that can be lifted for air flow and/or to be able to see baby when using in a stroller base. The one-button adjust handle feature makes moving the handle really easy- and if you are holding a baby, you only have one free hand, so this is perfect! I think Graco thought of everything you could want in an infant seat with the Graco Premier SnugRide SnugFit 35 Elite Carseat. I really do love it!

As a mom of three under three, I have had my share of infant car seats, however I was immediately enamored with the premium look and design of this car seat from Graco's Savoy collection. It's the perfect amount of luxury for my princess. Let's talk about installation: I will admit that I am the wife who makes her husband install all of the car seats because I feel that a stronger person can get a better fit. Since my husband was out of town, I set out to try it myself. The installation was a BREEZE. I was able to install via latch within seconds thanks to the Snuglock system. The base itself is adjustable so once I moved it to the proper recline position, the installation was complete! The anti-rebound bar is definitely a plus. It gives me the added peace of mind that she will be snug and secure in the event of an accident. One of my favorite features of the car seat is the harness system that allows me to adjust both the headrest and harness in one action. This may be a small detail for some, but this adjustment can be so time consuming otherwise. Thank you Graco for simplifying my life! And thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

The fabric is strong and seems durable. I really liked the adjustable head and body supports, we have a larger baby and this car seat would definitely last longer with that feature than other brands that do not adjust higher/lower. I was surprised with the weight of the car seat, it is very light overall , and comparable to other high end brands. I also liked that it came with a all weather \"boot\" footmuff for rain or wind - it wouldn't really protect from a chill but it was very nice to not have to purchase an additional item, that with the large hood would keep baby very protected from the elements. The car seat did install in less than 1 minute, it was VERY easy. That was probably my favorite feature. The rebound bar seems nice, I would hope we would never have to know it if works or not, but extra peace of mind is nice! I wish it had a load leg for the price. It also pops in super quick to the coordinating stroller and looks fantastic if you are looking for the whole travel system. Cons: I feel like the plastic makes it feel \"cheap\" or not sturdy. But its also what keeps it light weight. It has a pretty large footprint in the car, I had to move the passenger seat up to remove the car seat from the base. We have a large SUV and i was surprised with how little room it left us to function. The release button is pretty high up and under the hood which was a little frustrating to finagle when already in the tight car. Overall its a nice car seat, it looks great, its light weight and, installs quickly. I feel like it is lacking a few features to make it something I would want to use daily.

This seat is a big update for Graco. While some of their infant seats are lightweight with prints that scream \"BABY!\", this one is very stylish and many of its features were inspired by European infant seats. The car seat comes with a base, and not only is the base simple to install, but it has an anti-rebound bar which helps absorb some of the force in the event of a car accident. Usually you only find the anti-rebound bar on extremely high end seats, so this was a great idea on Graco's part to go above and beyond current safety standards. At first glance, the fabric on this seat is thick and beautiful, there's vegan leather accents, and I love the sleek removable boot that can keep my baby warm on cold Ohio days. One of my favorite features of this car seat is the one-handed lever to adjust the height of the seat/harness. No more wrestling the car seat to remove its cover and unthreading each buckle from the back several times in your baby's first year or two of life. This car seat is pretty heavy, but in my opinion, that's a good thing. I'd rather have my child in a heavy, sturdy seat than in a lightweight, flimsy seat. If you're worried about carrying around a heavier car seat, know that this is a Graco SnugFit item. Anything in the SnugFit collection seamlessly integrates with many Graco products, including their large range of strollers. Also, this seat easily snaps into a lightweight stroller frame during the time your baby is too small to sit in a stroller. Other notable features are a removable infant support as well as a base that offers five different positions so you can achieve the safest fit for your little one. The only thing I disliked about this seat was pretty minor. The boot and seat lining remove using awkward plastic tabs. Since the car seat is such a premium item fir Graco, I would think snaps would have been an easier, more aesthetic alternative . If you want a premium infant seat without breaking the bank, the Graco Premier SnugRide SnugFit 35 Elite should definitely be at the top of your list. With additional safety features and options typically found only on the most expensive infant seats, this carseat is an excellent choice for your growing family.

As soon as I got it out of the box I could tell it was very high quality. The fabric not only is attractive but feels high end. I was immediately intrigued by how you adjust the straps by moving head piece up and down rather than having to take the straps out, it's very convenient. The padding in the seat and on the straps is very supportive for a newborn, in the seat we were previously using his head would lean from side to side. When we first were using the seat, we noticed the handle was strange at first. But then we got the hang of how it works and realized it was actually a good thing. The handle stops at a certain point when you're trying to put it all the way back, but since the button to make it move is on the handle, it stops to prevent you from moving it too far on accident and potentially injuring your baby. So once you get the hang of how the handle works it's great. The only actual thing that bothers me about the seat, is how much fabric the shade canopy is made of. It's nice that it goes down so far and covers the baby well, but it's often hard to maneuver with the handle. The base was very simple to install and feels very secure.

Overall it's a very nice car seat! I love the look of it with the grey fabric. The anti-rebound bar is a nice additional safety feature but I wouldn't have bought it specifically for that feature. I liked the base but thought it was just as functional as the first car seat I bought 2 years ago. It was easy to install. I love that the unlock button on the carrying handle is just one button (versus two in my previous car seat). I also love that the sun shade is very long. I also like the headrest and harness that can be adjusted together using just one hand.

I was so excited when I was asked to review it for the Stellar Product Testing Panel! Aesthetically, it's stunning. It has muted, neutral tones that match with our style and don't look cheap like some of the more colorful car seats I've seen. The material is comfortable, yet practical. The seat itself is secure and just by looking, you can tell it exceeds what other car seats provide in terms of safety. I love the Anti-Rebound bar. It's so nice to have the peace of mind that my baby will be so well protected in the event of an accident. The seat itself easy to install and simple to operate, which is important for me as my hands are full with all of my children and I hate spending a lot of time trying to figure out whether or not the baby's car seat is completely secure. It only takes me 30 seconds at the maximum to strap the seat in or latch it with the SnugLock, plus the base is adjustable. I would recommend purchasing this seat to any parent looking for quality, safety, and aesthetics in a car seat. It is well worth the money and I'll be sticking with the Graco Premier line!","reviewer_name":"Anonymous"},{"date":"2021-03-17","title":"Awesome!","rating":5,"content":"A huge thanks for Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test out this car seat. I fell in love with this car seat the moment I pulled it out of the box! It was so easy to install, with either the seat-belt or latch system. I would say it took less than 10 minutes to install. It gets very snug and tight. It doesn't move at all, which is common with other seats. It fits perfectly next to a bigger kid car seat in my car and gives some space in the middle for our basket of books. There are so many things I was in love with on this seat. The anti-rebound was something I never had in a car seat. But I am so happy to have discovered it, it makes me feel even more confident that my child is in their seat the best way they can be. Which is very important to me. There also are small little pockets you can tuck the seat belt buckle in which is amazing in hot Florida weather! I feel like my old seat the buckle would get so hot in the summer time, these covers will 100% help from them getting so hot. I also am in love with the canopy shade, it unzips and you can allow airflow through the top, and you can also use it to check on a sleeping baby without them seeing you. The padding also was really soft and comfortable for my baby. The adjusting of the straps was so easy and fuss free! On the car seat you can attach this blanket cover it came with, I haven't had any cold days to try it out, but I love the option to instead of putting a blanket which isn't totally safe, and usually just gets kicked off. Another thing that is also great about this seat is that its not to heavy or bulky. Its perfect as they get even a little heavier. I cant express enough how this car seat blew me away in how great it is. I have a friend who is expecting and was raving she NEEDED this seat for her new baby. Thank you again Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try out this amazing car seat!!","reviewer_name":"Brandi Lynn"},{"date":"2021-03-12","title":"so PLUSH!","rating":5,"content":"This is hands-down the most luxurious car seat for littles ever to be made! There are so many features of this carseat that are worth bragging about. for starters, I absolutely love the head support that is SO EASILY adjustable (it simultaneously adjusts the shoulder straps accordingly as well!) ... is it just my baby who seems to be growing an inch every week!? I love the extra support - no slouching or over-tilted heads! It also comes with strap covers to protect baby's precious neck. The seat covering itself is made of this incredible memory-foam-like material and is so plush - I almost feel like I'm spoiling my kid by putting her in it! There are little slits in the fabric to put the buckles in while trying to get baby in without laying the baby on the plastic/metal buckles - so smart!! Some of my favorite features of the canopy are that it's so quiet, goes down super low if needed, and has a great little zippered vent in the back for those hot days. The carry handle is awesome because it is a one-handed tilt - unlike so many other car seats which require you to use two hands to bring the handle back, as if parents ever have two hands empty - HA! Seriously, everything about this seat is so well-thought out! I LOVE it. The base was incredibly easy to install, too. The anti-rebound bar made it extra secure and made me feel really good about a good installation, to keep baby safe! The only thing I wish this car seat would be a strap-release button... it is really hard to fish your finger under the fabric to find the button that loosen the straps. My one and only complaint. But all of the extra features totally makes up for this. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test and review this product! It came at the perfect time and I am so grateful I have an ultra-safe and comfortable place to put my baby while traveling!","reviewer_name":"andreachristine12"},{"date":"2021-03-12","title":"Safe, Secure, and Snug - Overall Outstanding Value","rating":5,"content":"First, thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat. I can honestly say I probably wouldn't have even looked at this car seat as an option for my family, if they hadn't provided it to me to review. I normally stick to the best price that satisfies (or exceeds) the safety standards and practical functionality I want when buying products, and a $250 infant car seat is definitely on the higher end of the cost spectrum for me. Having 7 children also keeps me a cost conscientious shopper, and has afforded me the privilege of trying out and using my fair share of car seats over the past 12 and a half years. After using the SnugFit 35 Elite with my 2-month old, I can say this car seat is wonderful, checks all the boxes, and is a truly great value for the price. The car seat base is super easy to install, and once the SnugLock Lock-Off bar is put in place (and you test for tightness), the car seat base does NOT move! Seriously, super impressive - It does not move! This is the first car seat base that I have ever had where I was unable to move the car seat once inserted into the base. After having several infant car seats, there are a few features that I absolutely love that Graco incorporated in their SnugFit 35 Elite model. First, I love that you do not have to disassemble the straps in order to adjust the harness height. You can simply press a button on top of the headrest to adjust the height. Great touch Graco! The addition of this small but mighty button, is a game-changer for all of us who know the struggle of adjusting straps the old way. I also really loved the all-weather boot and the canopy. Having a winter baby, a car seat cover is a much needed accessory. Having an all-weather boot included negated the need to make an additional purchase. This addition is much appreciated! The canopy, while similar to others I've used, has the added feature of being able to be opened from the back to allow for airflow to the baby when completely extended. I really, really like this feature as well. It gave me a sense of peace that even while the canopy was fully extended there was still adequate airflow to my little man. Thank you for thinking of concerns and worries of mothers, Graco! The only con I would like to point out is when the canopy is partially extended the carry handle can be tough to adjust and grab. Not a deal breaker by any means, but I did find it a bit annoying at times. All in all, this is an excellent car seat that meets and exceeds all safety and security standards, while providing a soft, snuggly ride for your baby. In addition to being an excellent seat, the SnugLock Lock-Off bar, and the features I pointed out above make it a tremendous value in my opinion. You will not be disappointed in this car seat :)","reviewer_name":"Blessed247"},{"date":"2021-03-12","title":"Awesome car seat","rating":4,"content":"Great car seat overall. Loved the snugfit feel and how easy it was to strap my son in the seat. He looked cozy and safe without feeling too restricting. Installing the base was difficult. Using the latch system there were lot of steps. Wish you could just click it in and Secure the straps easier. The car seat is also on the heavier side.","reviewer_name":"Schlitt03"},{"date":"2021-03-12","title":"Great product!","rating":5,"content":"Snugfit 35 elite is a very nice looking and premium product. Installation was a breeze the base fit perfectly in my truck and guided me along the way with the level in the base. It was very easy to level the seat is very easy to connect and also disconnect. The materials are premium, The padding is thick and love the embedded design. I love this product has a material that gives baby a sung fit, this provides baby with comfort and safety from tripping on baby blankets. The sung fit is securely positioned by babys feet and will not come loose or slip off. The car-seat is very easy to take from one place to another. My babies head is well protected from hard surfaces and has alot of cushion to properly position babies head. My baby is so comfortable in this car seat she likes to fall asleep in this car seat.

Every little bump made my heart race a little. I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I did not have those same reservations the second time around. Here are features of the car seat that contributed to that: Plenty of comfortable support for the head Base installation was so painless and I never worried that it was installed incorrectly because it was so simple The anti-rebound bar isn't a feature I've seen in a lot of other car seats and just gave me that extra sense of security And these are things things I just straight up appreciate as a mom: The handle can be adjusted with only one hand The harness is quickly and easily adjustable and doesn't require any threading The seat cover can be removed for a quick clean up","reviewer_name":"chwoodfield"},{"date":"2021-03-11","title":"I wanted to love it...","rating":2,"content":"As I have a brand new baby at home, I was super excited to receive the SnugFit 35 Elite from the Stellar Product Testing Panel to try out, as I don’t love the original car seat I chose for my little guy. Unfortunately, I think Graco lost focus on the truly important aspects of this car seat as it focused on being more “upscale.” Do I appreciate the anti-rebound bar for extra protection? Absolutely. Did the adjustable base make it easier to install the base at the appropriate angle? Sure did. But at the end of the day, having that little bit of extra protection and having an easy install experience doesn’t mean anything when I can’t easily remove the dang car seat off of the base and out of my vehicle!!! It literally takes me using both my hands squeezing the release lever and then using my arm to lift the car seat handle at the same time (thank goodness my little guy is only 8 pounds - otherwise I’d be out of luck!). This is a battle I go through EVERY time I go to take the car seat out of my car. So although I appreciate the extra perks of this car seat, it’s just not worth it when it’s a daily battle of merely taking the car seat out of my car.","reviewer_name":"Elizabeth5686"},{"date":"2021-03-11","title":"Safe, functional, cute design","rating":5,"content":"I was given this car seat to test and review as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

It was vey easy to install in my car and I love how comfy it feels. I think the material seems pretty easy to clean and I live the different positions you set it to for baby! I always look for safety features and the ratings of car seats online and thus has a very good safety rating, which make this carseat perfect! The carseat wasn’t really heavy and that’s always a plus. This is my first time ever trying out the brand in car seats and I’m so glad I got the chance to do just that! You really can’t go wrong with this seat. I have a suv that fits 3 car seats in the back and I really appreciate how I can fit this car seat comfortably along with the other 2 seats !","reviewer_name":"Brittany B"},{"date":"2021-03-11","title":"Beautiful with Great Unique Features","rating":5,"content":"This is a very attractive car seat/carrier with some great unique features! I love that it has its own \"all-weather boot\" to put over the bottom of the car seat - what that means is that it has an easy to place/remove cover that will cover the bottom half of the baby/carrier to keep baby dry, warm, and covered! Also unique to this seat is that the canopy has the capability to come way down forward to keep baby protected from the elements as well as keep baby covered while sleeping. These 2 work together wonderfully to keep baby pretty well protected without using a separate car seat cover. The back of the canopy can be unzipped revealing a mesh section for extra length as well as for ventilation. The seat is lightweight and easy to carry with one hand with baby in it. In respect to safety, the Anti-Rebound bar assures me that baby will be safe in case of an accident - safety features are super important to me. It is easy to install using the latch system and the adjustable base with level indicator make installation pretty simple. It was fairly easy to make the base snug on the seat of the car, which hasn't always been the case with other carriers. There is a nice storage compartment for the latch connections when you are not using them. The seat cover is easy to remove for cleaning, although it took me a few minutes to figure out how to remove the canopy in order to remove the cover. You need to lift the little latch fairly firmly while sliding it off the hinge. The headrest and straps are easily adjustable by pushing a lever as baby grows. My 20 month old daughter [30 inches long] fits in it comfortably and actually loved to climb into it and sit in it with her toys after I opened the box when the car seat arrived. This is impressive as she's at a stage that we have 50% chance of her getting into her seat without being a challenge when going out. One thing I wish was a little smoother to use is the carry handle adjustment button. It needs to be finessed a bit when going from being straight up to straight back. Overall, I highly recommend this car seat. It is attractive and has many great unique and convenient features as well as great safety features.

I'm pretty picky as far as car seats go so I was pleasantly surprised with how impressive it turned out to be. I love the additional safety the anti-rebound bar provides and think that it should be a standard feature on all car seats. All of the fabric seems to be of high quality and looks really nice. The seating materials are soft, plush, and comfortable. The canopy is large, and in conjunction with the insulated boot provides a ton of coverage for my baby. The ease of all the adjustments is really outstanding. From the one-hand adjustable handle and the non-rethread harness on the car seat, to the base that can be leveled and tightened in a matter of seconds, this car seat shines. There were a couple minor things I didn't care for. The canopy can interfere a bit with the handle as there's not much clearance between the two. Also, the latch belt is a little cumbersome to use. However, the Snuglock feature is really impressive and makes up for this little downside. Overall, I'd highly recommend this car seat. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this product to review.","reviewer_name":"LisaG3"},{"date":"2021-03-10","title":"A major upgrade!","rating":5,"content":"I had a new baby in November and had been using her big sister’s old infant car seat for the last 2 months but I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it is an incredible upgrade! To start, it is SO EASY to install. The latch system hooks have trigger buttons so you don’t have to shove your fingers in between the seat panels to install or remove the seat base. The snug fit latch makes tightening the strap to the point where the base will not budge at all effortless. The leveling mechanism is so intuitive and is everything you need, no more rolled up towels under your seat! The anti-rebound bar gives me extra peace of mind that if I am in an accident the seat won’t lift up at the front end where car seats aren’t tethered and then slam back down. My two other fave features are the one handed adjustment of the carry bar (so much easier especially when holding a wiggly infant!) and the no-rethread straps (no more shoving those straps through slots when my kid grows!) The extra bonus is this seat is click connect compatible, so if you already have a click connect travel system and just want to upgrade the seat, there’s no need for a new stroller! I cannot rave about this seat enough, I could go on but I’ll just leave it at this. Buy this seat; you will not regret it!!","reviewer_name":"Steinbj2"},{"date":"2021-03-10","title":"Graco SnugFit 35 Elite: Beautiful and Safe","rating":5,"content":"I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I am so impressed with this Graco SnugFit car seat! We had an older version that we planned on reusing for our new baby girl that had the basics on it, which is still wonderful, but this new one goes above and beyond my expectations. One of the main things I love on this car seat is the adjustable harness and head rest. It makes it so easy to use for a growing baby. I was never a fan of having to retread the harness because I was always worried I would do it wrong. But, on this car seat, there is no way to mess it up. The rebound bar is a great safety feature that makes me feel that she will be more secure if there ever was an accident. It does make the base a bit more bulky than normal, but I will gladly overlook that for added safety. The actual car seat does connect to the other graco snug lock bases if you weren’t a fan of the rebound bar, which is a wonderful feature. The adjustable base made it really easy to get the car seat appropriately leveled depending on the age of the baby. The base was super easy to install using the latch safety straps. They just click into your cars latch hooks, you tighten it, and you’re done. If you want to be extra sure that it’s tight and secure, you also have a clamp you can close the belts into. Look wise, it has a very sophisticated feel to it. The fabric and design is beautiful. I love that it has a cover for her. It makes it easier to safely take her around without worrying if she’s cold or having people touch her feet. The headrest looks very snug, as well. Overall, it is a very beautiful car seat that also has tons of safety features for baby, as well as features that are convenient for parents.","reviewer_name":"Cgressman15"},{"date":"2021-03-10","title":"Easy to install, safe, & Stylish!","rating":5,"content":"I absolutely love this car seat! To start off, when I saw it, I immediately loved the look. It’s so modern and stylish. It’s so hard to find “boy” baby items. This is perfect and very gender neutral. I also love how snug my son fit in it. It’s easy to adjust the height for him, just a click and it moves up, instead of having to take out belts and adjust. Aside from this, the installation process was so easy. Just install the base with the connectors and done. No hassle! It has an adjustable base that made the installment that much easier. The anti-rebound bar is my favorite added feature. Anything that promotes safety is on the top of my list! This minimizes movement to the car seat on bumpy roads or in the event of an accident, and it gives me a sense of ease while driving. Overall, I definitely recommend this car seat to anyone and everyone. It’s a win in my book.

The attached boot has been a godsend in this winter weather so I am not lugging around and washing blankets after every single outing the cover keeps my baby warm on its own. The car seat itself is pretty lightweight so taking baby in and out has been pretty easy. The chest clips are very easy to buckle and unbuckle, the leg clip took me about a week before I was able to really get those in and out without issue. I really like how long the sunshade is so I don’t have to worry about the sun beaming my child in the eyes when we drive ( no one likes driving while listening to their baby scream, right! This helps prevent that) As with all other Graco products the cover is washable and the fabric is super easy to spot clean. This seat and infant insert feels like it is more padded and my son falls asleep easily in this. I am very blessed to have been able to test this car seat out thanks to the stellar product testing panel.","reviewer_name":"EliseAmom5"},{"date":"2021-03-10","title":"Ease of use","rating":5,"content":"Overall, I was very impressed with the Graco snugfit 35 elite car seat. This is my second child, so we’ve tested out and used many cat seats between my first and second. The Graco has many different features that made it unique and really added to its ease of use that made it stand out when compared to other car seats. One of the things I really liked was the button to remove the car seat is centered on the top of the handle! This makes it super quick and easy to remove from the base with one hand. Ever other car seat I’ve tested or used, you need two hands - one to push a button (which was generally located at the back of the car seat) and the other to pull up on the handle. It may sound minuscule, but I honestly loved this! When you have two kids “quick and easy” makes your life so much better! Along those same lines, you can adjust the headrest height and carseat straps all at once with another simple button located at the top of the headrest! Again, every other car seat we’ve used, you need to completely re-thread the straps from the BACK of the carseat in order to change their height. In addition to these features, the car seat does not skimp on safety. This is, of course, always a top priority when we’ve looked at car seats! I was thrilled that this car seat base has an anti-rebound bar. The car seat we used with my first had the load leg on the base for added safety, but is another step to install and was tricky to get level. The anti-rebound bar on the Graco base is connected so no extra steps and provides that additional safety measure for my peace of mind. Going along with installation, the Graco base literally took us 1 minute to install in our car - quickest car seat install I’ve ever done! We used the latch system, but you can also install with the seat belt if your car does not have the latch anchors. The base includes the level indicator so you can visually see if you’ve installed correctly, and the base itself is adjustable so I have no doubt it’d be easy to install in any type of vehicle regardless of the seat style. The one thing I wasn’t very fond of was the ‘cover’ that comes with the car seat. At first I thought ‘this is super cool! I don’t need to buy a winter car seat cover now!’ (My Baby was born the first week of Feb, so a winter cover was necessary!) but it doesn’t come up very high (under my baby’s chest) and it was very open at the top so I was worried she wasn’t warm. It also attaches and detaches from the car seat with these little plastic tabs that just fold under the sides, so you have to remove the entire thing and set it down somewhere in order to take the baby out. This part could be greatly improved with the use of a zipper or at least Velcro top so you don’t have to take the entire thing off when putting your baby in or taking baby out. We ended up just removing this piece entirely and buying a cover which zipped. Overall, I felt that this car seat deserved 5 stars for its other features that make life easier as well as its safety features which far outweigh my gripe with the included cover! A special thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test out this car seat free of charge in exchange for my honest review!","reviewer_name":"TroodMarie"},{"date":"2021-03-10","title":"Great car seat with lots of convenient features","rating":4,"content":"As a mother of two kids, I’ve installed several car seats over the past 5 years (4 different infant seats and 4 different convertible seats). I Typically read the manual from front to back and watch a video on how to install but when I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel it looked so easy I decided to try my hand at it without a thorough read. This seat was so easy to install correctly I could barely believe It. I was able to install the seat in my Prius C using the latch system in less than 5 minutes. Once it was installed I read the manual and confirmed that it was 100% correct. I realize this may sound a little silly and maybe even backwards but I actually think it speaks to the design and ease of use of this seat. I joked with my dad that this seat is so easy even he could install it without messing up and he could! As a parent, I’m always looking for the top safety features. While I wish that this seat had a load leg I was really impressed with how stable it felt with the anti-rebound bar which adds a significant amount of stability. This is a great seat for use by anyone and I can already see things that I will love as my baby grows like the No-Rethread Harness. It really is the small details that make parenting easier and if I can simply squeeze a button to adjust the seat to fit my growing baby then I am thrilled! Another feature I liked, that I will admit took me a minute to get used to, was the 1-hand adjustable handle. I never realized how frustrating other styles were until I tried this car seat. That single button is not only helpful when my hands are full but also, in tight space when reaching across to access both sides is not an option. Things that made this tired mom of 2 very happy was all of the built in convenience: No-rethread Harness 1-Hand Adjustable Handle All Weather Boot Rapid Remove Cover (stuff happens!) Ample sun coverage from the shade with built in vent! A couple of things I would change if I could. First, I wish it was easier to tighten the straps. I’m not sure if there is something I’m missing but it just felt a little more difficult than I expected. Second, I wish I could pay a premium for a load leg and ridged latch system but it’s not a deal breaker. I think this is a great, easy to use car seat.

Safe!","rating":5,"content":"As a mom of three small children (age 3, age 2, and 3 months), I have some experience in the car seat area. I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I love it! Let's talk about installation: This is a big selling point for me. Between my husband and I, we have six car seats, therefore the ideal car seat for us is quick and easy to install and is super safe. The Snugfit 35 is perfect for our needs. The Snuglock base has a quick and easy LATCH system. However, if you need to install with seat belts, you will be able to do so safely and securely in one minute or less with the Snuglock technology. It took my husband and I about 30 seconds to achieve a secure install. This is my first experience with an anti-rebound bar and it is a great addition to the car seat. It definitely gave me the peace of mind that my child would be stable and secure in the event of an accident. The adjustable base was easy to use and understand and the bubble indicator provides a quick visual to help me ensure that the seat is installed accurately in the proper angle. Another one of my favorite features of this car seat is the Rapid Remove cover. I can remove and clean and return the car seat cover very easily. I also appreciate that I do not have to re-thread the harnesses as my child grows. Instead, I am able to adjust the harness and headrest together with just the pull of a handle. One thing that I didn't like about this seat was that I can't really adjust the handle with the canopy up. However, the canopy on this seat provided the most shade and protection that I have ever seen on an infant seat. Furthermore, if you're looking for a seat that does well in compact cars, you will want to check this one out. With the multiple recline positions and ability to use this seat until my baby is 35 lbs or 32 inches, I am pretty sure that I will get to enjoy this seat for quite some time as my baby grows.","reviewer_name":"Naking"},{"date":"2021-03-09","title":"Rebound Bar + High Comfort in ONE","rating":5,"content":"Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

It was extremely easy to install, taking about a minute in the vehicle. The adjustable base to insure correct install was a really nice touch! This was the first one we've experienced with an adjustable base. I also like that there is a place to store the LATCH belts. A few more things that helped earned 5 stars: it's lightweight (SO important after having my third c-section); the sunshade and all weather boot offer stellar protection; the adjustable handle can be operated with 1 hand; and it fit really well with plenty of room with 3 seats across in my Ford Expedition. I currently have 2 rear facing and 1 forward facing. The only thing that I had difficulty with was removing the carseat from the base within the vehicle. It took a few tries before realizing I had to listen for the \"click\" before pulling it out. I didn't think much of the optional All Weather Boot due to living in South Louisiana, however, it would be very nice for protection from rain and snow! The tan is aesthetically pleasing and the newborn inserts do a great job of positioning the infant head. In pictures that accompany my review, the child is 3 weeks old and about 8lbs.","reviewer_name":"Brittany Bernard"},{"date":"2021-03-09","title":"Great look & so safe","rating":5,"content":"Firstly, I want to mention how light the box was that the car seat arrived in. I can’t tell you how nice it is to have a semi lightweight car seat that doesn’t break your back trying to install. Speaking of installation, hands down the easiest car seat to install, I could actually do it myself without my husbands help. No complicated bobbing and weaving of belts and buckles, just the seat belt, get it really tight, and Walah! I’m honestly surprised that there hasn’t been more car seats with the rebound bar, as this is a perfect way to ensure sturdiness without the wiggle that many seats encounter. Especially for a tiny infant. Since the rebound bar sits up against the back of the seat, and the base can shift up or down (back and forth) you can adjust it so that there’s no room for it to slide and position the car seat just right. I’ve encountered too many seats with the back and forth, side to side wiggle and it has always made me nervous, even despite the bubble leveler saying it’s in safe position. And I should mention like many other wonderful Graco products the detaching mechanism to remove the seat out from the base is really easy and similar to other Graco seats. Oh, I can’t forget also, I love the one hand push button handle so moms with full hands can pull up the handle with ease. I remember struggling with other infant car seats that required a hand on each side and a push button maneuver, just too much! The car seat looks really fancy too, it’s plush, and I love the quilt texture throughout the design and the neutral colors, we got the Pierce Fashion, and it’s beautiful! The removable lap cover/blanket is so brilliant for colder weather, and the infant insert is so comfy, and the head rest super easy to move up and down. This may be one of my favorite seats in a long time! Definitely gets an A for awesome. I should also mention, since I had sever thumb issues from unbuckling with our last non-Graco car seat, that this car seat buckle is smooth and easy to open and close, but you can tell it’s well made and you can get that tight fit. Overall, I’m ecstatic about this seat, and Stellar Panel is awesome for letting me test & review it. Thanks a bunch Stellar Panel!!!","reviewer_name":"Mama Mari"},{"date":"2021-03-09","title":"Has everything I needed!","rating":4,"content":"First time mom here so I’m extra picky and research lots before getting a product. I got an email that I was receiving the Snugfit Elite from the Stellar Testing Panel and was really excited once I looked it up! It looks super high end with the comfy padding and in edition to the good looks, comes with the added safety of a rebound bar. Safety features are super important to me when choosing products for my baby. The adjustable base helped me install it easily and correctly. It has a leveler installed so you know if you’ve aligned it correctly, which is super helpful since I’m new at this. It pops in and out super easy too! It’s a little in the heavy side but it’s still manageable for me and comparable to the weight of most car seats. All in all this car seat has everything I need: easy install, good lucks, comfy and safe for baby!","reviewer_name":"Nat B"},{"date":"2021-03-09","title":"Mom of 5 approved!","rating":5,"content":"Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving us this car seat. Our family has used its fair share of car seats through the years with our 5 kiddos. This car seat is by far the best we have ever had. The rebound bar offers extra protection and stability. Other seats we have had did not have this bar and we always felt those seats were wobbly even after being fully installed. This SnugFit 35 Elite does not wobble and move when it’s fully installed. This seat was very easy to install, which is important for this busy momma. We use the latch system in our van, and it clicked right in without any issues. My favorite features of the car seat are the one hand adjustable handle and the adjustable head rest and harness. My hands are always full, so putting something or someone down in order to raise or lower the handle bar is just annoying. I’ve said for years that I wished I didn’t need both hands to put it up or down. That wish has now been granted with this seat! Retreading straps as baby grows is a long and sometimes aggravating process. The simple adjustable headrest and harness eliminates this tiresome task. Overall, I would definitely recommend this seat. The rebound bar, easy installation, one hand adjustable handle and adjustable headrest/harness are the most important features that stood out to our family but the SnugFit 35 Elite has so much more to offer!","reviewer_name":"Dmsmith1113"},{"date":"2021-03-09","title":"The best of the best!","rating":5,"content":"This car seat checks off everything on my list of needs and wants,starting with the design. The anti rebound bar makes me feel much safer knowing that it's there to protect my son from leaving the seat in an accident. This was the first time I saw a seat with this feature & it truly made me feel so much safer having it. The adjustable base allowed me to put the seat in perfectly without worrying whether the seat is in properly or not.Peace of mind means everything when I'm driving & Graco set the bar super high. Installation took minutes and was super fast thanks to the adjustable base. It simply snaps into place and we're ready to ride.The extra cushion around his neck,arms and legs fits great for added protection & safety as well as the colors of the entire seat match my car interior so that it looks like a custom fit. The seat belt fits snugly around my little man without squishing any part of him like his arms or neck. I plan on using this seat as long as possible, its the platinum of car seats in my book and I love everything about it. The cover adds additional shade from the sun and other elements of weather. I only wish this car seat had been around for my other children. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.","reviewer_name":"Angeleyes749"},{"date":"2021-03-09","title":"Safe, Stylish, Simple","rating":5,"content":"When it comes to infant car seats, my number one concern is safety, so the more features that secure my little one, the better. Don’t get me wrong though, I do appreciate beautiful fabrics and aesthetics -- I want something I can feel good about lugging around with me everywhere. After all, it does become an accessory of sorts. With the anti-rebound bar and sleek design, this car seat achieves both the safety and style I look for. Most car seats claim to be easy to install and in my experience that usually isn’t the case, but with the adjustable base, this car seat was actually a breeze to secure in my Subaru. Not only was it simple to set up, I also felt confident it was installed correctly. I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I fell in love with several of its features. With a winter baby, I really appreciated the removable quilted boot that comes with it so I didn't have to worry about blankets or covers, plus the fabrics used are super soft and have a premium feel. By far my favorite part was the handle with a button so you can single-handedly lower it (usually you have to press buttons on either side of the seat to raise or lower the handle) - anything that requires the use of fewer hands is A+ in my book.","reviewer_name":"greengirl94"},{"date":"2021-03-09","title":"Good seat!","rating":4,"content":"Thank you Stellar Product Testing for sending me this car seat! The seat is easy to install, I love the fabric and colors, my baby fits great and I really liked how smoothly the straps tighten when securing my baby. The two reasons I did not give this seat 5 stars is I find it difficult to always find the release lever allowing the straps to loosen. I wish there was a tag or something on the fabric to identify the spot. I also find the trigger to release from the base a bit high on the carseat for me to grab when standing outside my car. We have a large SUV and it is sometimes difficult for me to get enough leverage to pull up to release.","reviewer_name":"Scanniemama"},{"date":"2021-03-09","title":"One of my favorites!","rating":5,"content":"This car seat is AMAZING! From the easy to install base to the sleek classy design, I love it all. First of all the base.. can I just say it’s amazing to be able to install a base without having to sit on it or push my knee down to get it tight. This SOLD me!!! The design is great and it looks classy without the outrageous price tag. One of the best features of the car seat itself is the adjustable headrest and straps. This makes it so easy to move the straps up and will also make the car seat last longer for the babies size. I have always found before that my baby would grow out of the infant car seats quickly but with the adjustable headrest I think this will help make the car seat last longer. The sunshade pulls far down to really block the wind and sun from all directions but the only issue I have found is the handle bar does not move back while the sunshade is pulled out which is silly to me. It just doesn’t make sense why they can’t both move on their own without one effecting the other. Overall this is one of my favorite car seats I have ever used and all of my soon to be mom friends have all spoken highly of mine and now want to get this one also for themselves. I did receive this product in exchange for my honest review so I hope this review helps other soon to moms make the difficult car seat decision.","reviewer_name":"Jshealy94"},{"date":"2021-03-08","title":"Love the safety features","rating":5,"content":"Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat. I have had a few other car seats and this by far was so much easier to install. The bar against the seat is great and I felt it really made things more secure once installed. Also, not only was it easy to install but I was actually able to get it super tight and snug so there was zero wiggle room. The other infant seat I had used for my first two kids I felt I could never truly get tight enough and was always a little uneasy about. But I feel like my child now will be beyond safe in this car seat. I also like the fact that this carseat comes with an infant support that can later be removed, my sons head doesn’t tilt down and he stays perfectly snug in his car seat. There’s even a button so as he grows I just press the button and pull up to easily adjust the seatbelt fitting him perfectly. There are so many great things about this car seat and base. I absolutely love it and would recommend this car seat to anyone!","reviewer_name":"CSwen27"},{"date":"2021-02-26","title":"Great but...","rating":4,"content":"Great quality and looking car seat.
