DLX Car Seat Headrest Issue
My baby is 3 months old now, and we are finding it very difficult to fit her head comfortably into the headrest. Her head seems restricted and she is not able to move it freely. We are planning to return the car seat and get new one
Great fit and very convenient!
The Graco SnugRide DLX works exactly as advertised. Once your baby is strapped in nice and snugly, the carrier easily clips into the car seat base already strapped into the car. We also have the stroller that fits this carrier, and the carrier easily transfers to the stroller. It’s very easy and convenient, and I haven’t really found any cons as of yet.
Best investment
We had this when our middle was still in the infant car seat. We got it for travel and I wish we got it before she was born. I loved the easy adjustable harness without retreading it. The rebound bar added extra protection and it was very comfortable for our little.
Floating like a cloud
This is like a cloud for your baby! Is it as light as one absolutely not more like a stone. With baby in it more like a boulder. Yet a comfy little cloud. Every time we put our baby in their instantly asleep in 5 mins. The cloth comes off to for easy cleaning. Just have a good memory how you did it or you have a new puzzle to salve on top of sleep deprivation. Very cute and stylish. I will say make sure to have a stroller it clicks into. Your wrist and hips will thank me later. Even the how to carry a car seat tick won’t save you. I will say it does take a lot of room in the back seat. Especially if you have more then one car seat. Don’t expect big aunt Judy to fit in the middle seat.
Easy to use & compatible with graco stroller
These are amazing. They click to graco stroller. Material is washable & so easy to install without base too. The size is nice & lightweight. Perfect for carrying in & out of the house & then click on the base.
Dependable
It’s worked out well so far for our daughter. Locks in with other compatible things… carseat, stroller with no problem.
GRACO is popular for a reason!
We did tons of research and you can’t go wrong with the Graco name. It’s well known and popular for a reason. Compared to other brands you can’t beat the price either. Especially in this economy.
Great Carseat!
Really easy to use and works great! It fits for our baby and in our car.
Good Car Seat
Great seat. Honestly not hard to install. I recommend for sure!
Easy install
Bought this for both our girls. It’s easy to install and super lightweight. It’s small enough that it doesn’t take up much space. You just clip the car seat into the base. Then pull the trigger on the back of the seat to remove it. I would recommend this to anyone with a little on the way. This paired with one of their strollers is top tier.
Great for the price
For the price, this is a great car seat! Feels like good quality for a very reasonable price, especially when purchased on sale!
Highly Recommend!!!!
A safe, comfortable, and easy to use car seat. Would highly recommend!
100/10 Love!
My son was born in January. He will be turning 11 months and we just upgraded to a “big boy” seat- which is of course Graco, too. This carrier is easy to use, the bases are easy to install, and I never feared the safety of my son. My son seemed comfortable and with the longevity, look forward to using it with future children.
Solid Option
Haven’t used it yet, but seems like a really good car seat. The only issue is the canopy feels cheap and gets stuck on the handle sometimes. Other than that it seems comfortable and nice. I like the snug lock technology and rebound bar for extra security.
Light car seat with padded insert for newborn
Much better protection for the infant than the snug ride snug fit non DLX model (which we originally purchased and returned)
Safe and convenient
It feels sturdy and secure, and the anti-rebound bar gives me extra peace of mind. The seat clicks easily into the base and stroller, which makes moving my baby around super convenient. The only downside is that installation took me a little time to figure out, and the head support could be softer for newborns. Overall, it’s a solid and reliable car seat that I’d recommend to other parents.
Great and safe car seat!
I’ve used this infant seat with both of my kids, I have always felt like they were as safe as could be when they were in it. It’s very lightweight with and without a baby in it. The installation of the base is so easy it takes seconds with the LATCH system as well as the seatbelt method and I’ve used them both. It’s easy to adjust at just a press of a button to make bigger and a pull strap to make it smaller. It is easy to take apart and clean as it is machine washable!
Great car seat
We love this car seat set. It comes with the base and it fits well with the click connect to make it into a stroller. You can find them for a decent price that won’t break the bank. We used it with our 1st baby and expecting to use one like it for our second baby.
Amazing Seat
Ease of removing the seat from the stand. I love the way it holds the baby in place with less movement while driving.
first experience with car seat
After a careful months-long search, finally settled on this. Works great - ease of use, value, specs, versatility.
Perfect first car seat
We have been using this car seat since day one. It was perfect for our little girl, I loved that it was able to just click into the stroller as well. It’s also super light and easy to carry. Also very affordable!
This car seat offers top-notch safety features, gr
Safe, comfortable, and easy to install — perfect for worry-free travel with your baby. The Graco SnugRide® SnugFit™ 35 DLX with Safety Surround Technology is an excellent car seat that combines safety, comfort, and convenience. It feels sturdy and well-built, giving great peace of mind when traveling with a baby. The padding is soft and supportive, keeping little ones comfortable on long rides. Installation is simple with clear instructions, and the adjustable features make it easy to fit as your baby grows. A reliable and durable choice for any parent.
Great price, good quality
Just what momma-to-be wanted! Great price, good quality
Seems good
Bought this for our babies who aren't here yet. Overall seems pretty decent, don't have a lot to compare it to other than the ones my siblings used 20+ years ago. Quality seems good, I like the snug bar thing and the safety bar at the baby's feet.
Snuglock is a must!
We have really enjoyed using this carseat and carrier from newborn to over a year so far. It is easy to install. The snuglock feature is great for making sure the car seat does not wobble after installation. I tried installing a friends car seat and it did not have snuglock and I felt like I could never get the seat as tight as needed. The seat is easy to attach and detach.
It very easy
Awesome awesome awesome. Love Graco I've used them for both my kids. Easy to clean nice feel and quality of the fabric looks comfy for my baby i love the snap and lock technology of the base makes car rides and outing much less of a hassle. Easy to install and use.
The perfect match!
This was an easy pick! Light weight, easy to operate and carry, supportive to the baby’s head and well adjustable if and when needed!
Good
Soooo pretty and comfy,my kids loved it so much......highly recommended......... Reasonable price.worth it...i always buy this...................
Very convenient from newborn to 1 year old
We bought this for our first child over a year ago. She is 15 months old and still fits the specifications for use of this car seat. It is lightweight and easy to put in and out of the car. It is especially convenient when baby is very small and you don’t want to wake her while going from a place to another. Installation is very easy, you can use the snuglock for the base and if you’re traveling without the base, you can easily use the car seat with the car seatbelt. The fabric is not soft, so I took 1 star for that. Overall it is a good car seat for the price.
Great car seat!
We really enjoy this car seat. It’s well built/sturdy and we feel good knowing our baby is safe and well protected in it. Would recommend this product!
Love this carseat, however the button to put the handle down keeps getting stuck, and the car seat is becoming more difficult to take out of base as in getting stuck.
Barely lasted 5 months
We were initially happy with this carseat because our newborn seemed comfortable in it and it was relatively easy to get in and out of base. But within the last few weeks the seat has become extremely difficult to get in and out of base. We are having trouble with both bases and it become such an issue that we had to get a new car seat because we're not sure if this one is still safe. My son just turned 5 months and only weighs about 15 pounds so this should have lasted for several more months. Extremely dissatisfied for the amount of money we paid for the seat and two bases.
Excellent performance for the price range
Great car seat, reasonably price (used a 20% off coupon), good looking and compatible with other stroller brands.
Great Infant Car Seat
This seat is very comfortable for the baby, with soft cushions and good head support. Installation is quick and secure thanks to the SnugLock technology and the level indicator. It provides solid protection in front, side, and rear impacts. The seat is durable and grows with the child. The cover is easy to remove and wash, making cleaning simple.
Military Mom Review
This Car Seat is amazing! I can’t wait for my little baby to ride around in it! Me and my husband both wanted something we knew she would be safe in!
The best car seat ever!!
Bought this car seat for a preemie and she passed the car seat test in this with flying colors! It’s a super secure car seat and really convenient to use honestly. She constantly falls asleep in this car seat, and has done so great on car rides because of it.
Hard to let go
I loveeee Graco brand for car seats. I feel like they do a great job at easy installation, comfort and just having a good looking car seat. I feel safe having my little one in this car seat. We are now 10 months already and I am not ready to give this car seat up just yet.
Bully but safe
Perfect car seat for an infant! Referred to us by many friends. You can get a year out of it but it does get heavy if your baby is chunky. Easy to maneuver and install. It’s bulky but safe
Reliable car seat
Very safe and a car seat I can rely for safety. Sturdy as well. Last for both my baby boys. I will definitely recommend. It’s heavy that’s the only issue.
Best ever
Really it is easy to use, safety features, and long-term value is worth money . suitable for children from infancy to toddlerhood and has a 10-year use period.
Good support
It provides support by wrapping the baby's body securely, so the baby always looks comfortable in it.
Safe, durable and cost effective
Been using this for my kids since day 1. Easy to wash/clean. Goes great with the base. 5 points harness and and very durable. Not as heavy compared to other ones. It’s actually pretty light weight and super durable. Got it on sale for less than $100 and used for both my daughter and son. Still working great after 5 years.
Purchased Graco for our kids, now grandkids.
Bought this for our grandson. Very pleased. Sturdy and well made. Will probably get the coordinating stroller.
Snug Ride Snug Fit Car seat
We wanted the safest car seat we could find for our child and have been so extremely happy with this car seat, especially being first time parents this has helped easy our anxiety about accidents! A $500 gift card would change our lives! We’d be able to get the best stroller and high chair we are still Needing for our baby.
SnugRide Snugfit 35 DLX infant car seat
Absolutely love this car seat so far! I purchased it for my son in the beginning of May! It came in great condition and on time:) he’s very comfortable and secure. Easy installation, light weight, reliable:)
Easy to use
Super easy to use infant carseat, my 3 month old falls asleep right away when i put him inside the carseat she loves it. Easy to install in car as well as durable. I will definitely get it again for baby number 3.
Broke after 18 months
Ours got stuck in the base after 18 months. Baby is 23 lbs and still needs a rear facing seat. DON'T BUY THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO BUY A SECOND SEAT.
Twin Mama
Twins expected in October, so bought two along with the double stroller. Very excited to finally put them to use.
Loving the sleek desigb
Such a cozy, sleek design. The shade is my favorite feature and I love how quiet its design is. I also of course love the safety testing and Graco’s commitment to high quality car seats that are still affordable.
Love!
Second time buying an infant seat, love graco products! All we use for our kids.
10/10 would buy again
Better than I expected. Made with good quality fabric. It’s soft and has enough cushion for baby. Easy to detach and set up in the car. Not too big for my full size sedan.
invest in a better brand
we got this car seat because it was the cheapest. the sunshade never stays up while driving or while in the stroller. the straps get twisted, and the head pillow moves a lot. really not a fan and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
Nice but be careful when clicking into base
Bought this a year and a half ago and the snap in locks broke. Smh
I’m recording
I’m really impressed with the Graco SnugRide® SnugFit™ 35 LX Infant Car Seat! It feels incredibly secure and well-made, which gives me so much peace of mind. The padding is soft and comfortable, and my baby stays snug and supported on every ride. I also love how easy it is to install and click in and out of the base—super convenient for busy days. Graco really thought of everything with this design. Safe, stylish, and reliable—highly recommend to all parents!
Great!
Easy to install in car with the snug lock tech. And easy to pull car seat out. Only wish there was just a bit more cushion around the head for my tiny newborn.
Happy g-parent
Grateful for this car seat from hospital to car to stroller
Disappointed! Broke after 10 months.
I loved this car seat when we first got it! However after 10 months of using it a small piece that clips it to the base broke off. Contacted customer service to file a claim however because it had been purchased over 12 months prior (since it was gifted during a baby shower prior to baby’s arrival) it was out of warranty. And the piece that came off was not available as a replacement part. The car seat still works but cannot be safely used with the base so I must use the regular car seatbelt method - which we all know is not convenient. Wish I could buy another car seat without the base for a discounted price to at least be able to have the convenience of the base again.
Good
I have been using Seat Graco since my daughter was born until now (she is 8 months old). I really like this Car seat because it's too tight or too loose for a newborn baby. It gives me a very solid and smooth feeling. But it's a bit heavy for me. I'm Asian so I'm quite small so it's very difficult for me to move around when going somewhere
Love
Still love this carseat but my son is growing fast so almost have to switch to the other carseat i bought from you guys.
Would buy again
Very nice infant seat. I would buy it again. The baby fits well.
Popular car seat for a reason!
We love the Snugfit! It’s super lightweight, but is very secure in the base that it comes with. The base is very easy to install and it was quick to learn how to strap baby in and adjust the belts so he is snug.
Do Average Size Babies Even Fit in this Seat?
I want to love this, but I hate it. The straps come directly below the head support but only the head fits between the head support so the straps come from above the shoulders, not below like it says they should in rear facing. Maybe it’s fine but the head supports make it so difficult to see how baby is positioned once in the seat and my poor baby looks like he is choking. In my opinion the head support just gets in the way from being able to get or even see if the fit is correct. Maybe this seat is fine if the baby is below average but one month in, it doesn’t seem like a good seat for even the average size baby. Especially if you want this seat to last you more than 3 months.
Their loss, my gain!
My neighbor threw out this car seat and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it except for the sun shield/canopy whatever you call it. Are there replacements for those?
Unsure
I'm not sure why but the carseat will not easily latch lock in, have to push seat down each time to ensure it is locked in. Does not seem correct. I do love the look and quality of material but unsure about why it is so difficult to get in and out of base?
Great customer service
Customer service is excellent!! Refilled an order easily & ensured I was satisfied with the purchase.
Be warned about the headrest
I was really excited about the quality of this car seat, but quickly realized the headrest would be an issue, I think if I purchased this for a newborn I wouldn’t notice but I bought it for my 24 lb toddler, and the headrest is a huge problem and we had to return it. It was so snug on the sides of her head that she had her head wedged in it like she was in a neck brace. She did not like that and it caused her to overheat from the fabric being snug on 3 sides of her head. I wish the opening was wider or the headrest was adjustable or removable- it is not. Be warned if you are hoping to use this up to the weight capacity, I think this would have begun to be an issue around 6 months for us.
Very good car seat system
This car seat system is so good and very easy to install while having assurance that it is completely safe and very well made. It’s super easy to adjust the straps as baby grows and baby can fit in comfortably for upwards of a year.
Easy to carry and snug baby real good
The Graco SnugRide SnugFit Infant Car Seat is a solid choice for parents seeking a combination of safety, comfort, and convenience. It features SnugLock technology, making installation straightforward with either the vehicle’s seat belt or LATCH system. The anti-rebound bar adds an extra layer of protection during rear-facing rides, while the adjustable base allows for a customized fit as the baby grows. The seat is lightweight, making it easy to carry, and the click-in compatibility with Graco strollers offers a seamless transition from car to stroller. Overall, it’s a reliable and user-friendly option for infant travel
Beware of Headrest
I wanted to like this carseat so badly, but it had to be returned due to the headrest. The headrest is very narrow and I had to wedge my baby's head in it. She was unable to turn her head at all and caused her to overheat in the seat- think having fabric touching 75% around your head with no wiggle room for air flow... not good. I was disappointed that the headrest is not removeable, and felt some of the language in the product description to imply it was. This seat is also heavier than other Graco seats we have used. Overall, had to return.
Splurge!
It was great while it lasted, but unfortunately that was only five months. The surround sound feature, which is a hard cushion, does not move up enough, and my baby does not fit when she is under 20 pounds. This is supposed to fit a child up to 35 pounds. Also, it gets stuck and lifting it is a pain. The quality of the product is high-end, from the material to the sturdiness. If it is anything you want to splurge on, it is a car seat and other products such as a crib, bassinet, side-sleeper, etc. A relative of mine bought this for us because the car seat I had picked on our registry was cheap. I didn't want anyone spending too much money on us. But it is not for me as much as it is for our baby. You need to do your research and get the best products. Do what you can, but don't feel bad about the money. People want to bless you and your new family. Here's your sign to splurge on the important things for your new addition.
Defective
The seat is very difficult to remove from base, you have to pull and shake to get it out. Also have to wiggle it in so it locks. My 2 month’s head already is too big for the headrest that claims to come out but DOES NOT.
When it comes to sadety it’s Graco
Graco Snug Rite 35 is very useful and safe. Whennit comes to safety for my belived kids it should be Graco. You cane asiky adjust it. My baby is very comfortable whenever henia there. He xan easily take his skewp from there. Durable and easy to install.
Looks like a great carseat
The car seat is for a gift and the baby is not born yet. It looks like it will be a very nice one and I trust the Grace brand!
Car Seat
This is the second time I’ve purchased the Graco Snugride Snugfit Infant Car seat and it works so well. It’s relatively easy to install in your vehicle and is quite durable.
I have always been a Graco fan however I'm on my fourth child and the new products have gone downhill. This car seat is very difficult to get in and out of the base. It constantly gets stuck
Great car seat
The car seat look very lux. I like the quietness of the canopy and how you can push the handle back with one hand. The repositioning on the headrest and buckles is done with a little handle so no threading is necessary! The car seat base is easy to install and the rebound bar gives us an extra sense of security. The only thing I wish the car seat had is an expandable canopy.
Graco is the best
Graco car seat is very sturdy and safe for babies . Both of my children sat in this car seat from birth until they were 2 years old, and they slept very comfortably. It is easy to assemble once you follow its instructions correctly. It has many cute colors to choose from. I recommended it to my friends and their babies also really like this chair.
Perfect car seat!
This is our first car seat we’ve used since our baby was born 9months ago and we love it. Lightweight and comfortable for baby. The click and go makes it simple to go between car & stroller. The adjustable carrying handle is awesome. I went with the rebar base for extra safety.
This is my second graco infant car seat (loved our first one but it expired) and I would not buy again. The head support on this one is very flimsy, no sturdy support like our other one... had I realized it I would not have purchased. I do like the material as well as the sun shade.
Great car seat for premature babies
I purchased this 2 weeks ago to prepare my micro-premiee who is in the NICU for his car seat test. This particular stroller was not a preferred stroller on the preferred list but I like the Graco brand so I did a lot of research and decided to go with this one. Thankfully he passed his car seat test!
Extra comfort, worth the price
This carrier has extra padding around infant head. Plus it has strap holders which is super helpful when putting baby in carrier.
Love this bucket seat!
Love this bucket seat! I wanted something secure for my little baby and I knew that I wanted the Graco 4Ever for my baby to grow in. However, I felt like it would be too big when I brought my son home and I wanted to be able to take the car seat with me and clip in to a stroller. So happy with it and ready to bring my baby home soon!
Very happy with our purchase!
Bought this carseat with our first son and we loved it! Easy to use and is compatible with our Mockingbird stroller as long as you get the correct adapters. Have had no troubles with it at all. Looking forward in getting another Graco!
Great Purchase!
Very safe and easy to install. Great purchase for a newborns.
Excellant
Love this carseat. Light and easy to use. Definitely recommend.
Car Seat
Great car seat. Arrived on time and was exactly as pictured.
AWFUL
used this car seat for 9 months with my first child in 2021 and then installed it for baby #2 and the car seat gets stuck in the base. I finally got it out after pulling with force for almost 10 minutes. It was stored correctly and it should last longer than that but I was told it's not under warranty and I can still use the seat and do a baseless install which is not practical for everyday use. I will not buy or recommend another graco product as they don't stand behind their products.
Older Manufacturer date
Have not opened the box yet, so can't speak to the seat specifically. This review is in regards to the manufacturer date. I thought ordering from Graco directly I would get a more recent manufacturer date. Not the case at all. Seat was manufactured Feb. 2023, 10 months ago. Baby is arriving in spring so seat will be over a year old already:( Also I did order the seat well aware of the return policy, but it would be nice if during the holidays Graco extended the 30 day return policy. Got for a great price so I ordered early as a holiday gift.
Love love love this car seat
Have been using this car seat for 18 mo now (since we took babe home from the hospital). It’s grown with him, which is great, and now we are finally at the point where we are looking for a toddler car seat. Nice soft material. Easy to buckle him in and out. Quiet canopy. Light weight! Fits into various strollers w adapters. Very happy with this purchase. Loved that it lasts longer than most (32”/35lbs) and lighter weight (8 pounds I believe). Love the fuss free hooks for the straps too. Easy to clean! The best!!
Highly disappointed.
I liked it when it worked. My car seat in stuck in the base and won’t come off at all. The seatbelt is obviously stuck as well since I cannot get the seat off to take the bass out of the car. I might have to cut my seatbelt to get the car seat and base out of my car. I contacted customer service to see what I can do about this massive defective issue! They wanted a proof of purchase of this car seat. But it was given to me as a gift for my baby shower. So now I have a defective car seat, stuck in my car!
Great for the money
A very nice car seat for the money, we almost went with the snugride 35 but I am glad we got this snugfit 35. A worthwile upgrade. The padding is nicer and more robust, the signle button for the handle is convienint, the straps adjust very easily and I LOVE the quick connct latch system for installing in a vehicle.
Missing part of chest clip
I bought this and just got it in and it’s missing a whole buckle for the chest?? What happened has anyone had this happen before I spent the last bit of money I had on it!!
Somewhat Disappointed
We bought this car seat because of the safety features, unfortunately the car seat gets stuck in the base and wont release easily, sometimes we have trouble getting it to actually click in without rocking it back and forth multiple times, also the head rest is to padded so my babies ears get folded over and she is uncomfortable. Not a bad seat overall but can be a huge pain when trying to get it out of the car.
Difficult to work with
It is kind of difficult to get the car seat out of the car seat base-every time the baby is startled because I have to maneuver so much to get the car seat out of the base.
Old car seat and no customer service help
I just got my product that is directly purchased from this website, and the product I received is an old car seat. It was manufactured on 2022 July. I have sent customer service request to Garco, three days later nobody has contacted me regarding this issue. So I decided to make this comment which my attack their attention to resolve my issue. I plan to use this product for 10 years, but Garco really disappointed me by shipping an old car seat to me.
Baby outgrew headrest by 4 months
This car seat was great for my son’s first 2 months, but now his head is squished in the thick, padded head rest area. He hates being in the car seat now, his ears fold forward, and he overheats in 10 minutes of being in the car.
So happy with this car seat!
This car seat has everything I didn’t know I needed. I’m a first time mom so when looking into travel systems I saw a nice jogger one from babytrend and decided on that after seeing the other options for jogger travel systems and the price points. While the jogger was nice and had a smooth ride, the material on both that and the car seat were almost like a cheap windbreaker type of material and it made my baby sweat within minutes and had him so uncomfortable. Once I saw this car seat I immediately had to order it. I got the Hamilton color and I absolutely love it. I also got the extend 2 fit convertible car seat in Hamilton for when he grows out of this infant seat and I love that they match and how good the color looks. The material on this seat is so soft and my baby is comfortable and not sweating bullets in it since the material feels like it’s also very breathable (I think it really helps that it’s not all black material too). With the other car seat I wished it had the option for a one handed adjustment so badly. Again, didn’t know how useful this was until actually having my baby and experiencing things firsthand. I do have to firmly press on the button for it to move, but nothing crazy or overly strenuous. I also love how it has little slots on each side to place the harness buckles and keep them out of the way when putting my baby in and taking him out, and the canopy is so easy to pull forward and back and it’s definitely silent (another feature I didn’t realize was so important with how easily my baby would wake up when adjusting the canopy in the old seat). The removable body support is great, I just wish the head support had some kind of removable padding option as well since my boy has been in the 99th percentile for length since birth and I think about 80th for weight so I don’t know how long it’ll be before he grows out of this seat. Because the head support can’t be removed I already have the headrest set to the highest setting, but I’m hopeful that once I remove at least the body support it’ll give a few more inches of room before we have to make the switch to his convertible seat. It’s definitely nice not having to take out and rethread the harness either way, this was a pain with the old seat having had to adjust it twice within a month timeframe. The snuglock feature on the base to make it extra secure, along with the rebound bar make me feel so much better as far as his safety in the seat when we’re out & about. I also love how easy it is to take this from the car to his stroller with the click connect feature. It definitely is nice to know the seat is securely locked in to the stroller and not just placed on it with a tie on strap. If Graco could somehow update this model to include removable padding on the head support it would without a question be a 5/5 star product! I wish I would’ve got this car seat from the start instead of 2 1/2 months in, since with the current head and body support it has my baby as a newborn weighing 8.5lbs & 21.5in long would’ve been so snug and so much more comfortable without his head bouncing around and I would’ve been able to get a little more use out of it than what I will be if he continues growing at the rate he is. I still have my fingers crossed that the removable body support gives us more use out of this though!
Good produc
This product is easy to ensamble and is lightweight
Not worth the extra money
All said and done this is a Graco seat and is still my preferred brand; HOWEVER, I am extremely disappointed that I paid near $100 extra for the DLX. It doesn’t fit in the click in strollers from other brands, it and while the padding is nice it doesn’t breathe at all. Baby is very hot every single ride.
One is good, one of ok
I have twins so i got two. They are compatible with our stroller. On one of them, the button to lift the handle sticks and it’s very hard to use. Shipping was delayed and i am now being induced early so i don’t have time to send it back for replacement. The other one is perfect
Great for newborns
Works good for when they are little my 5 month old is already gonna need a new car seat.. the headrest padding is too tight on his head and his ears are always folded over. I wish you could remove the padding or insert a different(smaller) headrest
Safety
Had this with my son. Tested a bunch of different brands and always came back to this specific one. It’s very easy to set up, clean and also very light even with a baby.
Seat warming labels retains heat
I like many features of this car seat. The single button handle release being the main one. But my baby is five weeks old and we have used the seat a handful of times. It doesn’t take very long for the seat padding to get hot and then I have to stop and take her out to cool off. I know I generally car seat padding gets warm but the placement of the warning labels is completely illogical. Because they aren’t fabric labels they get hot quickly and don’t promote air flow or heat distribution. Going to try adding a cloth seat cover or cooling pad.
Excited
Baby isn’t here till October but from all the research I have done and now seeing it in person I am excited to use it!
Sad my baby is growing out of it. It's great
I really wanted this carseat with the anti rebound bar because my city has some bad drivers so the added safety feature just made me feel more comfortable. I got the color Jocelyn which is so cute. It looks good. I love that it clicks into the base but also can be secured with the seat belt which makes for easy travel and car changes with the car seat. I also love that it can click into the stroller which is so convenient for quick errands when I don't feel like taking baby in and out of the seat. I'm seriously not looking forward to when I'll have to upgrade from the infant carseat which is soon. I only have a couple issues with the seat but they haven't dampened my view of the seat. The first and biggest is that for a seat that goes as low as 4lbs they have no real head support compared to other car seat models they have. My baby was born just over 5lbs so I was very happy this seat went that low so I could take my baby home but I was nervous any time she was in the car during the early months until she started getting better head control because of how tiny she was. My 2nd issue is that the one handed handle adjustment really isn't one handed as the button often gets stuck using one thumb and doesn't fully engage the release mechanism to be able to move it. I usually have to use both my thumbs using the joint to be able to push it in far enough to release it. Also the clearance for the handle and canopy is not as pictured. It's much less. To the point where I usually can't fully extend the canopy unless I push some of it past the handle because they actually touch. But I would say it gets like 95% extended with the handle up. Lastly the canopy it's scratches easily. Idk what it's made of but one day I got caught up while carrying the seat (may have been on the storm door trying to get out the house with my big old diaper bag...can't remember the details) and after bumping around and finally freeing myself I noticed the canopy had a big white scuff mark on it. All in all I really like this seat. It was easy to install and fairly easy to adjust. I like that the shoulder pads have velcro and can be removed for washing. Can't comment on the seat padding though as I fortunately haven't needed to do major cleaning until recently so I'll see how easy it is to remove that. I plan on keeping the seat for my next child so long as it doesn't expire before then. Probably should've gotten a neutral color but oh well.
Amazing!
My sweet boy was tiny when he came home and I was terrified of getting a car seat that wouldn’t hold him and keep him safe. This car seat held him perfectly and it’s continued to grow with him! He is only 7months but I absolutely love this seat. I ordered 2 bases one for mine and one for my husbands car and it’s my favorite thing being able to click him in and out!!!
Safe, Comfortable, and Lightweight
By baby loves this carseat and so do I. Fits him perfectly. He falls asleep and stays asleep when he is in it. Hes very comfortable every time. I use it even if we are not in the car or even moving. Im assured he is safe and secure when i place him inside. Very sturdy carseat.
Only the best for your baby
It is premium material! My baby absolutely loves it. She looks so comfortable in it. Since it it part of the Click Connect products, I was able to use it with the Graco Fast Action 2.0 stroller. You will not go wrong with this car seat.
Love it
Love how easy this is to tear down for cleaning, how fast it adjusts the height, how well it keeps our son's head in place, and the pockets to hold the hooks really comes in handy. I highly recommend this carseat.
Great Car Seat
Was nervous that this car seat wouldn't be compatible with the stroller that we have, but it works beautifully! So glad we could replace the expired car seat and not have to buy a whole new stroller system.
Love it
Super safe and secure. I feel great about my daughter being protected and comfortable. This was our third attempt at finding a suitable car seat and this is a WINNER. Much better than the other brands. It’s a keeper
Good Purchase - worth the money.
This is a gift for my great-grandson. It was extremely sturdy and well built. It was a larger and heavier car seat than I expected. The fabric was beautiful, black. However, It would have been nice to have one in blue. My grandson found it easy to fit it into their compact car. Looks like the baby was comfortable.
Graco is great!
In a couple days I will have a 3 year old! 😭😭 but I've only used Graco car seats for my son. I feel like he's fully protected in their seats, he's comfortable and I know that hes safe in his car seat.
I love this car seat
I loved this product I think it best fit in my car. My daughter looked very comfortable in it as well. It was super easy to buckle and unbuckles her as well.
Great
This is by far my favorite car seat that I have used. It’s easy to change the straps. The base it so easy to install and the best part is you do. It have to take the whole car seat apart to wash the cover. I’ve now had this one and the older version. This is the only car seat I will buy now..
Poor
We bought this car seat for our daughter and at 5 months old need to purchase another seat. The headrest is not removable and has become to small. Unfortunately we purchased an extra base and now need to find a seat that is compatible or purchase a new system all together.
Best of the Graco infant seats
Among all Graco’s infant car seat models, this style (headrest and insert) is the best! It fit my 5lb newborn, and worked all the way until my child was 16 months old thanks to how tall the headrest can adjust. It didn’t cause slumping or bad head positioning like some of the other Graco models. The base is very easy to install. Only complaints are the weight (but I started to leave the seat in the car more when it was heavy) and the one handed handle adjust, while a GREAT concept, began to get stuck after 6 months of use and would be difficult sometimes to get past the second, semi-upright position to be moved all the way back out of the way.
Safe and sturdy car seat!
This carseat is incredibly secure and we love it so far! Highly recommend
Car seat
Excellent car seat. Everything and more then another brand.
Great seat
I love this carrier because it is lightweight and still super cozy for the baby to be in! It also fits in most car seat bases
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price!
Great!
I am so glad that I purchased this car seat! I first purchased a safety first car seat and stroller bundle but when I got it the car seat had no padding and I did not feel safe having my newborn in it! This Graco car seat is AMAZING! My daughter was 5 lbs and this is exactly what I needed to make sure she is comfy and secure. Moms get this if you are in the fence about it being too cushioned it’s perfect for a newborn
Faulty base
Everything seemed fine until the latch buckle doesnt want to snap whenever baby is in the car seat and gets stuck and wont un snap to take it out of the base. Overall baby seems comfortable but factory manual on strapping the base to the car needs some realistic improvement. Almost didnt make it to our newborn’s follow up check up because her car seat wont snap into place.
Car seat gets stuck in base!!
We got this as a gift for our baby shower for our first baby. The first couple weeks the car seat got stuck in the base A handful of times. After about 3 months, the car seat was impossible to remove. We would have to take my son out of the car seat and afterwards, we were still unable to remove the car seat from the base. The front locks do not unhook. On multiple occasions, my husband and I had to take the base out with the car seat attached to try and get the car seat out. Even after bringing the base with the car seat attached into the house, we were still unable to get the car seat out. Will not be using again.
Good Price!
I bought this car seat for my newborn. The padding is thick and the car seat is well built. It clicks into the car seat base easily. The seat is a little heavy but light compared to some other infant carries I tried. The only con is the canopy can be difficult to use when the handle is in the upright position.
Overall great carseat
This car seat seems very comfortable as my baby doesn’t seem uncomfortable in it and will nap regularly in it. During the summer months she didn’t seem to hot even when our truck ac wasn’t working in 70 degree weather. The visor is nice and quiet so it doesn’t wake her up when moving it and it will come quite a ways forward which is nice! My only real con that I have is that the handle has to click into each position, which gets annoying. I did wish that there was a newborn insert for it but it didn’t seem to bother my baby, for long trips I put a rolled up muslin blanket around her head. But overall it’s a simple easy car seat, I’m glad we got this one
Don’t waste your $$
The safety surround really prevents the straps from being able to be at or below baby’s shoulders for proper fit. Doesn’t seem The most comfortable; baby is kind of crammed in under the surround. The safety surround is quite large so I see there being more issues as he grows. We were drawn to the protection the safety surround would provide but only feel it has made the seat unsafe.
Terrible customer support
I returned the car seat unopened and still struggling to get my money refunded from Graco. Terrible company to work with, recommend going with a different one
The best car seat out there
We LOVE this car seat. It is the lightest weight thing you’ve ever held and the fabric is so soft! Easy to use and clean.
Terrible warranty service
This is the carseat I chose based on features and company reputation. I registered the carseat as soon as I got it. My daughter is 4 and a half months old and over 6 weeks ago I submitted a claim for a broken seat clip and provided everything to the warranty department that was asked for with absolutely no resolution. I did the same again with no resolution only to get another letter asking for all the same information. I would not recommend this company because it doesn't seem that they stand behind their products. When the carseat is in its intended state I love it but as a mother it is very disheartening to ride around knowing something is broken even though your company has assured me that this is a common issue and is safe while awaiting the replacement. At this time I am still waiting.
Great Features
I have not used yet as my baby isn't due until May, but I have taken it out of the box and looked at it I love how it has a zipper on the shade where you can have air movement while having shade up also like how it goes so low to keep the sun out of the babies eyes. I love how it's a one handle headrest instead of having to rethread the harness buckles
I wanted to love it.
We purchased this for our baby in October, he was due in December. It was great at first but really it only lasted 4 months as the padding around the head isn't removable or adjustable it folds his ears forward and keeps them bent. You can fold ears back but any moventment causes them to fold again. But that's not the biggest issue we were putting carseat in car and we didn't hear all the clicks so we readjusted and tried again, still no clicks. We inspected carseat and somehow one of the safety clicks on the carseat was missing so now it's not longer safe to use. $269 for 4 months of use is ridiculous. Highly recommend choosing another carseat! I reached out to the company and haven't heard anything back. So disappointing.
Less than 6 pounds and comfy
Comfy for my little baby. She's shy of 6 pounds, but doesn't mind long rides in the car seat. Easy to use. Love the click connect!
Car seat gets stuck in base!!!
The most frustrating car seat!! The seat gets stuck in the base and cannot be removed easily. I can't get my baby out of the car without using excessive force or removing her from the seat entirely which is so inconvenient when trying to carry things in. It has been used for 8 weeks. Calls to customer service are USELESS because no one answers. I've been on hold 3 separate times for over 30 minutes with no answer DESPITE the product still being under warranty. They expect you to write in for it but I need a car seat now.
Great quality
I have not used it yet but the quality seems to be great. Headrest will be great for newborns.
Snugride Snugfit 35 DLX
I previously bought the Graco Snugfit 35 back in 2015 when we were expecting our first child. It was fine and had no complaints. But it expired so we replaced it with this one for our fourth baby, and wow. I can’t believe the difference! This is such a sturdy and nice infant seat that exceeded my expectations. I am so glad we chose this one and my toddler was actually able to use it (just under height and weight limit) in an emergency situation. The install was a breeze, even for a very pregnant woman. I’m thrilled with this car seat!
Great car seat!
We love this car seat for our almost 4-month-old son. He fit nicely in it when he was an early-term newborn and weighed just under 6 pounds. He seems comfortable and we both like the angle indicator on the side. We appreciate how easy it is to get in and out of the truck, too. The only thing we don't like is the button to loosen the harness is at a really weird spot to reach, and you cannot access it when the car seat is in the base it comes with.
Disappointed! Will not last until 1st year!!!
This car seat worked well the first 4 months I would say but as my baby grows it’s beginning to become uncomfortable for both baby and I. At only 15lbs he seem to have almost outgrown the seat. It’s always a struggle to get him out of the seat. Unfortunately I am in the process of purchasing a new car seat. The headrest is also not breakable as he sweats a lot.
Impossible to remove from base
After using this car seat a few times, it got more and more difficult to remove from the base. It finally got so bad that we had to remove our baby from the car seat prior to trying to wrestle the entire seat off the base. Eventually, the car seat wouldn't even click into the base anymore, so I'm calling customer service right now to work through it. I can't recommend this car seat after the issues we've had. It is a major inconvenience not having a safe way to leave the house with our child because his car seat won't safely lock into place and/or it gets jammed in the base while he is in the seat.
Headrest too tight and not adjustable
I bought this car seat for my baby but had to purchase a new one in just the first couple weeks after my child’s birth because the head padding was too tight and not adjustable. I did a lot of research prior to buying a car seat and went with this car seat because I thought the head pads would give good support for a newborn, and I thought the padding for head support could be removed if needed. The padding cannot be removed or adjusted and my baby cried every time getting in and out of the car seat because the padding was too narrow and very uncomfortable for him. Once transitioning to a different car seat he has done much better and no longer screams every time he is put in his car seat.
Saved our son's life!
My husband, 2-month-old baby, and I were in a horrible accident earlier this month. A drunk driver ran a stop sign going 60 mph at an intersection in front of us. We never saw him coming and our vehicle turned over twice. We landed upside down. Our 2-month-old baby was in an older model Graco Infant DLX car seat. It was my nephew's car seat. It saved our son's life! God was definitely watching over us and protected us for sure! We would definitely recommend buying a Graco car seat. We will be purchasing another one because they recommend not using a car seat after it's been in an accident even if it appears intact. We are worried to take our son in the car again. However, having another Graco car seat will help put our minds at ease.
Very disappointed
This may be an issue with just my seat, but it isn’t safe. I love the seat but the connection of my seat to the base is troublesome. I have to shake around and fiddle with the seat to safely secure the seat. I have to head almost 7 separate clicks before the seat is in. We have reinstalled the base many times trying to see if we made the error but nope. Removing the seat is almost impossible once the car eat is connected to the base. I often unbuckle and carry my newborn in which is a pain and defeats the purpose of a seat that I can carry.
Quirky sun shade
The sun shade gets in the way of the carry handle when adjusting the handle, and pulls off its Velcro attachments. Makes it feel like the sun shade was a feature they threw on after development.
easy to use
easy to use, fits a lot of different types of strollers
Preemie friendly
My twins were born at 29 weeks, I read alot of reviews from moms that also had preemies and they said that this car seat helped their babies pass the “car seat test” before leaving the NICU. Well both of my babies passed their test on the first attempt so I will have to agree
Baby outgrew it because of headrest!
I thought this car seat would be awesome but my son is only 4 months and the headrest literally bends his ears over when you place him in it. It’s on the highest setting and my son is only 16 lbs. he gets so hot in this seat and screams every ride. I have the parameter stroller and love that but I needed this to work especially for the money as a single parent and teacher who needs to make every dollar stretch! So disappointed! Forget the aesthetics next time and make sure it accommodates baby’s comfort and safety next time!
Arrived undamaged. Kid not due for another month
Arrived undamaged. Kid is not due for another month, so have not tested it out completely. Will update once we have used it with our newborn.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CARSEAT! I would recommend to anybody I’ve had this one since my son was born and he sleeps almost every car ride not to include the safety rate!
I used this for
I used this for my baby and it was extremely nice a really love it to transfer from car to the stroller with ease its very convenient and I love it
Good Car Seat Option
It’s been a very good fit for my 32 week preemie baby. He fits very snug and sleeps peacefully through car rides in this car seat. Its lightweight and being able to adjust the handle with just one button is super convenient. The base is also very simple to install. Overall good quality, feels secure, and easy to use.
Very disappointed
We’ve been using this car seat for 3 months now and everything was fine up until now. Unfortunately, I just learned that the headrest cannot be removed and our little one’s head has already outgrown the seat. This should have lasted us through their first year and it is extremely disappointing to have to purchase another car seat after such a short period of time.
Huge flaw: Headrest
Got this car seat before our baby was born and it worked for the first couple of months. We didn’t realize at the time when we got it that the headrest is not removable. When our baby was only 3 months old, he started hating the car seat and would scream while in it. He’s a tall baby and just didn’t fit in it anymore when the bulky headrest couldn’t be removed so it squished his shoulders. He would also get hot while in the car seat. Other than the fact that it’s a heavy car seat, I did like it for the first couple of months.. especially the one button handle feature. However, I would not recommend this car seat to others based on the headrest flaw. 3 months in and we already had to buy a new car seat... save your money and go with something else from the start.
Great product
Easy to set up, padded and comfortable for my little one, overall good quality, and great price point.
Headrest too snug
I purchased this car seat and was very excited about the safety of it. Well 3 months in to using it and my now 3 month old son's head is squished in the head rest portion of it. It is winter here in MI and I cannot put a hat on him in his carseat because there is not enough space for his head with a hat. I can't adjust the headrest because then the straps will be above his shoulders which is incorrect and unsafe for rearfacing.
Stuck in base
I love this car seat although it gets stuck in the base in both of my cars where I’m not able to transport my daughter in the car seat.
headrest feature doesn't work for babies over 4 mo
I originally bought this carseat because i liked the headrest feature. It seemed safer for my baby and i love the look of the seat. At about four months I noticed that the headrest feature was pushing down on my sons shoulders. When I moved the straps up (another feature I liked that you didn't need to rethread the straps) it would move the headrest higher so it would not push on his shoulders but then the straps were too high for him and no longer safe. It's a design flaw and there is no way around it. Also, the seat increasingly got more difficult to unclick from the base. I stand outside my car sometimes for 5 minutes trying to get the seat out...And when I click the seat into the base it will click in, then I adjust the straps to my son and it always clicks out by itself. This is so unsafe. I did file a warranty claim with Graco and they offered me to pick out a new seat but all the seats are sold out that are of a comparable price. I now have to go buy a new one and send back the seat (with paid shipping) but that means I have to find a big enough box and call fedex for a pickup which is a pain. Overall, I probably won't be buying anything else from Graco. They tried to resolve the issue but they don't really have many options for actual resolution.
Can’t use after four months
We loved this car seat at first but our son stopped fitting in it after three months of use. The head support padding is so thick that his ears fold over. You cannot remove the padding either. We tried moving it all the way up but that doesn’t help. We are now buying yet another car seat carrier and our son is only four months only. Super disappointed to have spent this much money only to have to buy a whole new one a few months later.
Love Graco!
This is the best car seat! It’s a great fit and very easy to use.

The listing text alternately shows a max weight of 30 lb and 35 lb — what is the official maximum weight and height limit for this exact Graco SnugRide SnugFit 35 DLX (model #2142526)?
We list the official Graco limits for this SnugRide SnugFit 35 DLX (model #2142526) as rear-facing 4–30 lb and up to 32 inches tall; the child’s head must be at least 1" below the top of the car seat. Despite the “35” in the product name, Graco’s product page for model 2142526 specifies 4–30 lb / up to 32". [1]

What are the interior/shell measurements (maximum shell height, shoulder/shoulder belt slot height, and maximum crotch strap spacing) so I can tell when my baby will outgrow the seat?
We don’t publish interior/shell measurements in the Graco owner’s manual — it only documents the adjustable headrest/no‑rethread harness and that there are two crotch‑buckle positions (and the top of the child’s head must stay at least 1" below the top of the shell). [1] Independent test measurements report the carrier shell height ≈19.5 inches, the lowest harness position ≈5 inches, and two crotch‑buckle positions about 5.5" and 7" from the seat bight, so use those numbers plus the “1 inch from top of head” rule to tell when your baby will outgrow the seat.

Which exact Graco stroller models and Graco infant bases are compatible with the one‑step connection for this seat (and does it work with older Click Connect strollers/bases)?
This seat uses Graco’s one‑step connection (Click Connect) and will attach to Graco strollers and infant bases that advertise Click Connect/one‑step compatibility — common Graco stroller lines that use Click Connect include Modes/Modes LX, Modes Pramette, and FastAction Fold travel strollers, and it works with Graco Click Connect / SnugLock‑style infant bases. It will not mate with non‑Click‑Connect or other-brand strollers without an adapter, and while Graco Click Connect car seats and bases are generally cross‑compatible within the Click Connect family, some older/non‑Click generations may not fit — confirm the stroller/base is labeled “Click Connect” or “compatible with Graco SnugRide/Click Connect” in its manual.

Are the infant head and body inserts and the Rapid Remove seat pad machine‑washable and dryer‑safe, and are replacement pads/inserts sold separately (product numbers)?
We: The Rapid Remove seat pad — including the removable headrest pad and body support — can be removed and machine‑washed in cold water on a delicate cycle with gentle soap and should be drip‑dried (do not use bleach); harness straps and the lower‑anchor strap must be surface‑washed only and not immersed.
