Safe • Secure • Comfortable
I love this car seat because it offers excellent safety and comfort for newborn. The seat feels sturdy and well-padded, while the adjustable harness and headrest provide a secure fit as the baby grows. Installation is straightforward, and the load leg adds extra stability by helping reduce seat rotation during a crash, giving parents additional peace of mind.
Safety meets quality
With a baby in mind I am always thinking about safety. Graco is also thinking about safety times three for my family! The technology has come a long way since when I was a kid. This item has been really helpful for my peace and mind and also just a cozy place to put the baby knowing that they'll be cozy during the car ride. It's also easy to get out of the vehicle and also easy to snap back in when we're done with whatever we did that day!
Too Hard to Adjust
What a difficult seat to work with. Unreal. Nothing works easy. If you can even figure how to do it.
Graco SnugRide 35 DLX Infant Car Seat featuring
As a mom of 3, I have seen and used various infant car seats and this Graco car seat has some wonderful features. One of most important things I look for in a car seat, is safety on the road. The load leg feature on this car seat gives a little extra peace of mind when driving on busy roads. It is a nice bonus feature even if it isn't a necessity. The instructions were clear on how to set up the load leg and it was easy to position. It does take up some space if you are in a vehicle where you need the space under the seat, but in most vehicles, it would be unobtrusive. The actual car seat and car seat base were extremely easy to install. The car seat looks stylish and comfortable. The seat feels soft and well padded. The fabric is easily washable. The only downside to the car seat is that the headrest is not supportive for a newborn. My 2 month old would occasionally need his head repositioned. My favorite feature of this car seat is the button to position the handle is on top of the handle. I can reposition the carry handle with one hand. It is extremely handy when my hands are usually full. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this car seat to a friend. Thanks for Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this product to review.
Extra Safety Features
I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I'm impressed. The Load Leg feature makes this Graco SnugRide car seat more secure in my vehicle. The Load Leg gives the seat extra support and tension so that the car seat doesn't move at all. The Leg adjusts easily with a push of a button to adjust the length for proper fit in different vehicles. This makes me feel better if something were to happen that I know she is very secure in this seat. It is easy to install in the car. The seat detaches from the base with a quick pull of a lever on the back of the seat. I love that the belts are adjusted through the front without having to refeed them through the slots. This makes it easy to keep the belts snug no matter what she is wearing and if course as she grows. The headrest extends upward for more room with a pull of a lever. The handle adjusts positions with one hand making it so easy to put her in and out of the seat. There is really nice thick head and body support for comfort and snuggling baby in. The material is soft to touch. The attached shade moves smoothly. I definitely recommend this car seat to anyone looking for a safer choice with high end features.
EASY and LIGHT
Not all carseats are this easy, don't be fooled. This one is EASY and makes me feel very safe driving around with my 7 month old. A huge bonus is that she is actually comfortable and can go longer distances without so much as happy squeals from her! The base was a breeze to install, I used the latches and the load bearing leg. It was almost too easy. I'm not someone to read through instructions but I reviewed just to make sure I had it right because I was able to do it so quickly. This could be one you easily switch from car to car. The actual seat is LIGHT! Woah, I can carry my 18 pound babe in her seat so that I don't have to wake her from the car snooze! I'm a huge fan and am so grateful to have received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel!
Cool safety feature
I think the Graco SnugRide with load leg is a great option for those who are really worried about car seat safety. Installation was pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, the height of my back seats apparently isn't quite right for the load leg - it was not "firmly" planted against the floor of my car, and there was just a little wiggle room. The load leg locks at 4 different seat heights, so it probably works for many cars, just not for mine. I think it was close enough that it probably adds some safety over a car seat without the load leg, but probably not as much as it would if it fit snuggly. I also couldn't figure out how to remove the straps from the car seat. As a mom of 3, I know that messes happen. Being able to throw straps in the washer with the rest of the fabric parts is definitely nice, and something this seat lacks. Lastly, the car seat is pretty wide with the base (which you need to use the load leg). The fit was okay but not great in my car. Received product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.
5 Star Car Seat
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a first time mom, having a car seat that provides me with extra safety gives me a clear state of mind. From the ease of getting the baby in and out and the load leg, this car seat has been a must have. The load leg was very important to me since I know that while the car is in motion the car seat wont rotate. This features provides my baby with an extra layer of safety that I love. Also, since my baby is on the taller side I was able to easily adjust the headrest and harness to fit him. This feature was also great because my baby is on the taller side. The car seat is also designed very nicely and has a sleek look to it. It looks great in my back seat and baby enjoys riding in it too. My husband put the car seat in the car and said it took him about 30 mins and also notes how easy it was to install.
