The hardest part was removing the previous base I had! Not only was it easy to install, but the height adjustment to make up for the back of the seat dropping down a bit was perfect and just what I needed - I have had to put rolled towels in this space previously (suggested by an inspection) and this feature on this base totally fixed that issue. I sent the base off with my mother for her car and she installed it very easily and commented on how much less bulky it seemed. Really a great upgrade of the simplest things.","reviewer_name":"o0hjeeez"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Simple and easy to use","rating":5,"content":"This car seat base was simple to use and easy to install.

I liked the 4-position adjustable recline because it made it easy to install correctly which is so important for safety. I’m always concerned about if I installed correctly, but it was stress free with the base and the level indicator (which was easy to read) so I knew I had installed correctly. I was surprised how easy it was to attach the infant seat and remove it. Normally I have to fumble around and try to yank it out, but the easy release made it easy to get out and then putting it back in was as simple as sliding it into place. Much needed when you have a sleeping baby and don’t want to be fighting with a car seat and base trying to get them in and out of the car.

As always with the Graco brand we’ve been very pleased. The base was super easy to install, the level indicator was very easy to read, and once installed it did not budge. What I love most about this base and Graco seats is the ease of use. It by far snaps into place easier than any other brand I’ve used prior. I’d gladly recommend this to any parent-to-be!","reviewer_name":"Briemalt"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Easy Installation","rating":5,"content":"The SnugRide 35 Lite Base is probably one of the easiest car seat bases I've ever installed and used. A feature that I really like is the adjustable base, which allows the infant seat to grow along with the baby and adjust to a height that is most comfortable for the baby. My most favorite feature is that there is a level indicator that reassures me that the base is properly installed, and super easy to read. I received this car seat base through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.","reviewer_name":"KrystleSheena"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Simple to install, use, and reliable","rating":5,"content":"I received this as a test product from stellar reviews. I just had a baby 2 weeks ago and my carseat was going to expire in May. I have always been a Graco fan and am open to new products. Luckily, this was an upgrade since my older graco carest base was much more bulky. The carseat itself was way heavier than the newer version. And this newer version made it so easy for me to transport baby and seat wherever I go. I am pleased with how easy the installation process was and the newborn support that comes with the carseat.","reviewer_name":"spikeycreampuff"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"A Great Addition","rating":4,"content":"Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat base. Having a base that adjusts to different heights in the car is extremely helpful and convenient. This base is very light, even while attached to the car seat. It is easy to install, adjust, handle and maneuver between vehicles; even one handed. My only complaint would be that the level indicator is only on one side and I would prefer it being on both so it would be easier to read no matter what side of the back seat you decided to install.","reviewer_name":"LuVin2013"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Easy as it gets","rating":4,"content":"I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This car seat base was as simple as it gets for install. Easy clips and really easy to adjust the height of the base for each car. Very light weight. Pretty sturdy. Plastic is a little thin.","reviewer_name":"DWiles"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Lightweight and Easy to Install","rating":5,"content":"We received this car seat base as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel days before our fourth baby was born a couple of weeks ago. My husband was able to quickly install the adjustable base using our car’s anchor system. He especially liked that it has four different heights that accommodate various seat depths. The side level enables the installer to ensure that the seat has been installed at the appropriate level for your child’s weight. The base itself has a universal latch system that easily accommodates different vehicle latch widths. It’s easy to tighten the base to the seat because it’s similar to a seatbelt system. The base is lightweight and easy to move between vehicles.","reviewer_name":"Bjohnston24"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Easy and secure!","rating":4,"content":"I was given this infant car seat base to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and was very excited with how easy it was to install in my car.  This is the third carseat base I have owned and was by far the easiest to install using the latch system.  The directions are clear and the level indicator made it easy to know I had the recline correct for my infant seat.  The reason I have given it 4 stars instead of 5 is that you definitely have to use some muscle to get the base tight enough (took my straddling the base in the back seat, pulling with both arms).  Once it is secure, however, it's definitely not going anywhere!  I have recommended this product to multiple people since receiving it.","reviewer_name":"NashMom"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Lightweight safe and sleek carseat base","rating":5,"content":"car seat bases have been historically so difficult for me to install - I have always left it up to my husband! I was actually able to install this base and was able to get it installed tightly and securely very quickly. The instructions were incredibly clear and it was a quick job! The car seat fits easily into the base and also comes right out. I’ve previously struggled to get my car seats removed from the base but this was simple! Overall a great base to securely fasten a really awesome car seat.","reviewer_name":"Pghmom"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Love this base!","rating":5,"content":"I love this base. It’s very simple to install within minutes. Not a lot of features to get confused by, it's easy to install and uninstall. I love how light it is, also. My baby is only a couple weeks old so I liked the four different reclining features knowing baby is safe. The indicator was easy to read as well. All around a great car seat base! Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try out this great product.","reviewer_name":"Gabby Ring"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Easy to use infant base","rating":4,"content":"We used this base with the Graco Snugride 35 Lite LX. It is compatible with all other Graco Click Connect seats. \n\nThe base is very basic, but has some of the key features that I find necessary on infant bases, including the 4 position adjustable recline foot and the visible level guide (versus a line that has to be parallel). I was able to achieve a perfect newborn recline with the foot extended just two clicks. The level indicator was easy to understand, but when trying to get the most recline possible, it was a little hard to tell what angle to view it from to make sure it was correct. \n\nThis base comes with the standard lower anchor connectors, which are easy to use but not always super easy to disconnect from the vehicle to move this base. As such, I decided to use seatbelt to install as it may move from this particular vehicle more often. There is no built in seatbelt lockoff, however the install with locked seatbelt was extremely easy to do, even at 9 months pregnant! \n\nThe carseat itself was very easy to click into the base. The set together was very compact in the car and would fit most any vehicle. \n\nOverall, this seat has just the right features to be extremely easy to use, but without some of the belts and whistles of some others. It would be a great option for full time use or a seat for an alternate caregiver. Thanks to the Stellar Product Review Panel for providing us this seat!","reviewer_name":"mohawkins"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Easy to install, great base!","rating":5,"content":"This car seat base was very easy to install and the 4 position adjustable recline was very helpful to make sure it was installed properly in my Honda Pilot. Since the seats in my car are a little bit sloped down towards the latch hooks, I needed to use the adjustable recline to make it level. The level indicator is very easy to use and gives specific indications as to where the blue level should be based your baby's age. The car seat clicks right into the base and easily comes out with one hand. We don't plan on moving it around much, but we tried it and it was easy to move into my husbands truck as well. With this being such an affordable option, I would recommend getting a different base for multiple cars. While it is easy to move, it seems safer to install once and leave it rather than moving it around all the time. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat base.","reviewer_name":"Kalswags"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Super easy to use SnugRide 35 base","rating":5,"content":"Thank you SO MUCH to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this Graco SnugRide 35 Lite Base!! I cannot express how EASY the install was! \nMy previous brand does not have the 4 position adjustable decline feature. The recline feature is OUTSTANDING!

This helps make the base itself more snug and secure.  It's nice the belts have a storage compartment with clips when moving car to car.  Unclipping the anchors was a slight pain because the anchors in my seat are buried, but it isn't a deal breaker by any means.","reviewer_name":"AndreaL17"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Easy breezy","rating":4,"content":"When Stellar Product Testing Panel reached out to me to test the Snugride 35 Lite Base that reclines I was a little skeptical. How does a base recline? But once I received it I was delightfully surprised to read the manual and see how it operated. All you have to do is clip it into the anchors of your car and press the lever that adjusts the height for you. I loved it because it takes all the guess work out of getting the car seat to be level. The level indicator was very easy to read and really gives me peace of mind to know that my baby is set up in the car perfectly. The base is very light in comparison with previous car seats we have had. Getting the base in was a breeze but I will say that getting it out was a little tricky for me. The strap that is used to connect the base to the anchors has a release button that is used to loosen the strap for easier removal and for some reason when I pressed the button it didn’t loosen the strap very much. I kind of had to tug on it. But that’s really my only complaint. The car seat itself just pops right into place and instantly I heard the ‘click’ that tells me the car seat is installed properly. Which is the peace of mind every mother needs when taking baby anywhere in the car.","reviewer_name":"heyrachelmarie120"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Easy to install affordable base","rating":5,"content":"As the momma of 5, I have been around the car seat block a few times.  While I have used many other infant “bucket” seats over the years, including a different brands more recent model in the past few weeks, and my favorite has always been the Graco Snugride 22.  This model, the SnugRide(TM) 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat base, reminds names of all of the things that I loved from that seat.  \n\nPros:\n\nSimple to use. While there are not many bells and whistles, I was able to change the strap positions and install the base quickly,  both with a seat belt install and a latch install, with ease.  The recline option makes for an easy install no mater your car seat angle.\n\nAffordable.  This seat and it’s base come with a very affordable price point.  \n\nCons:\n\nLack of extras.  Some other, more expensive brands, offer options for an even easier install.  There is also no rebound bar if that is important to you.\n\nOverall I am so happy with this seat and it’s accompanied base. It is perfect for the first few months of my babes life! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat base!","reviewer_name":"Mommagarrett"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Easy install, No Guessing!","rating":5,"content":"I found the Graco SnugRide 35 Lite car seat base to be ridiculously easy to install. The recline position indicator was really easy to read and helped make sure the recline was correct for the age of my child. When I initially installed the base the indicator wasn't exactly where I wanted it to be for my one month old. Even after attaching the base to the anchors in my car, it was super easy to change the  4-position adjustable recline to get the recline where I wanted it.\nPrice is reasonable enough to purchase two for both mine and my husband's cars instead of moving one base between the two. The only thing I didn't like was how difficult is was to loosen the strap after install; it can be difficult to get the slack you need to disconnect the base from the anchors in the car seat. I think this depends on which side of the care the base is installed, though. Mine was installed on the passenger side so the strap was inside the car instead of near the door. This wasn't enough to lower my rating, however. This is a car seat base that is completely deserving of a 5 star rating!\nFinally, I really like the slot on the bottom of the base to store the user manual so if I need it in the future I'm not rummaging through a drawer, I know exactly where to look!\nThank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this infant car seat base to try. I tested this car seat base with my second child.","reviewer_name":"anj5007"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Great Base!","rating":5,"content":"Thanks to the people at Stellar Review I received the SnugRide 35 Lite Base. This base is very lightweight as easy to maneuver. The instructions for it were very clear and understandable, the base also has instructions on it to show you where the belt goes through. It adjusts to the kind of seat in your vehicle very easily. There are 4 heights you can choose from to make it the right level and it’s very easy to change the heights with a push of your hand. As a mom of 5 children I really like that this base takes only a minute to take out of one vehicle and put it into another. The SnugRide 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat very easily goes into this base and detaches from the base with ease. When they both click together it’s just loud enough to know that it’s latched but not to loud that it wakes baby! This base when installed properly does not slide around. I would recommend this base to anyone.","reviewer_name":"AmandaLenn20"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Great base for travel!","rating":5,"content":"Although I received the Snugride 35 Lite Base for free through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, everything stated in this review is my own opinion.\n\nThis base has some great features and some minor nuances.\n\nFirst, the adjustable reclines on this base are amazing and so helpful when installing. I don’t have to use any rolled up towels when installing the base at all. Rolled towels can shift and compress a lot, so installs with a towel can be a pain. It’s so convenient to not have to use a towel (if you do need to use a towel, though, the manual states that you are allowed to). To install, simply set it to the recline level (there are four levels) that puts the base and car seat at the correct recline for the age of baby. The base easily adjusts. Sometimes it does adjust a little too easy and you have to take care that you here the base click into whatever level you’re setting it to. There are numbers on the side that tell you which level you’re at.\n\nOnce I have it at a particular recline level, I then check the recline. This base has an easy level indicator. It moves quickly, although you may have to wait for it to settle and stop moving before you determine if the base is correctly installed. \n\nThe level indicator is only on one side; however is can be seen from the opposite side. When looking at it from the opposite side, though, you won’t see the instructions that tell you if it’s level enough or not. \n\nThis base can be reclined in two different ways. This is such a great feature! Once baby is past three months, the car seat can be reclined slightly less, saving a little bit more space for whoever is sitting up front!\n\nFinally, the one thing I didn’t love about this base is the latch. They’re the basic latches that can be a little tricky latching onto the bars in your car and can be a pain to take out. For tightening, you do have to tighten from the side, which is always awkward and makes it a little trickier to get the base tight enough. \n\nOverall, it’s a great base. The latch is a minor nuance, but not a hinderance. I think this base is great for every day use and would be especially useful when traveling or moving from car to car a lot. It’s pretty light weight and the Click Connect holds the car seat securely.\n\nIn summary:\n1. Adjustments levels are great and easy to use. You do have to make sure it clicks into the correct level and doesn’t get stuck between levels.\n2. The level indicator is only on one side, but slightly visible from the opposite side.\n3. The base can recline at two levels depending on age of baby. Saves you some space!\n4. The latch that comes with the car seat is basic and kind of a pain to use, but not a huge hinderance.\n5. I think this base will make traveling and using unfamiliar cars with different seat reclines easier.","reviewer_name":"Jennifer4"},{"date":"6 years ago","title":"Simple & adaptable!","rating":5,"content":"I received the graco snugride 35 lite base through Stellar Testing Panel. Overall, I found this base to be very user friendly. It was simple to install into both my husbands sedan and my SUV. The car seat clicked right in with no issues.

Before receiving this product to test and review from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I had installed several car seat bases. The Graco base installation was the most straightforward. \n\nThe Graco installs with either a lap belt or latch. I found the lap belt to be more secure as I had a harder time tightening the base with the latch. The base does not have a belt lock-off like some other models, so your seat belts must be able to retract and lock. \n\nThe adjustable recline and level indicator give me peace of mind that the car seat is in the correct position for my five-week-old daughter. The level indicator clearly shows how to position the seat correctly. \n\nAttaching the car seat is simple and painless. It clicked into place and felt very secure in the base and removing the car seat from the base is just as easy. The clicking sound is a little loud, but my newborn does not seem to mind it, and continues to sleep peacefully. (She typically decides to wake up when I’m getting into bed or sitting down to eat.)\n\nWe only have one car, so I have not tried the base in other cars.

This base had the metal clips to connect to the LATCH bars, rather than the buckles with the button style Graco also makes. I have to say that is my complaint- the metal clips are fairly easy to attach but very difficult to remove. You can usually only fit 2-3 fingers in the LATCH space, and it took me about 10 minutes of manipulating the clip just to get one side unclipped. The seatbelt install is simple enough, you just have to use some muscle and awkward positioning to get it secure and tight. The leveling bubble is very helpful in make sure it’s leveled correctly.
