More head support needed

Jmomma3

Overall, nice car seat. Cute and light. 4 stars because I wish the head area was more supportive for a newborn, head falls sideways easily.

Love it

Baby number 5

Cant wait to use it with our baby. Lighter weight then systems i have used. easy to control.

Nice slim car seat !

Aj M

Snug ride review

Chrissy1977

I bought this a month ago and so glad I did my baby is due June 9th 2021 but I babysit and used it for that baby it fits great in the car and the straps don't leave red marks on their shoulders

Very comfy Carseat

Nique234

This car seat has lots of padding and is so comfortable. It’s stylish and definitely worth the buy!!

Crappy canopy

Kaitlyn453

The canopy on this is garbage. It has velcro on the sides to hold it in place but it doesn’t work at all. Tried returning but costumer service won’t respond after I asked for a shipping label.

Nice Carseat for the Price

Ajbaff

Nice seat with improved headband body support. Lightweight carrier ans the added protection on the base is helpful. I do think the hood feels cheaper than older models and the leg room is limited.

xjennee

I got this and it is really good for my child. Snug fit and very stable/secure. I feel safe when my baby is riding in my car in this car seat.

Perfect 1st Carseat

Jess27

I bought this for my premise. It’s the perfect car seat. It fits his small frame perfectly and fits in my car perfectly.

Great Seat

CG86

We bought this for our firstborn a couple of years ago and now we are using on our second. We love Graco products because they are safe and trustworthy. I feel that my child is safe in their seats and they are easy to use.

Car seat installer

Ruben

The car seat is very simple to set up. And the attachment is so convenient to click on and off in fact I will buy another one to keep in the car -and I will also get the stroller thank you

Convenience, safety and comfort!

I love that the carseat snaps into the base! Also my babys safety is top priority!

Great Trendy Car seat

Mom of Boyz

Very happy with this car seat. Ordered it online from Graco and the description was exactly what the product was when I received it for my grandson.

Keep getting better

Ninamack

I have used graco infant seats for all of our 5 babies and each one has been improved upon. Graco really knows what they are doing.

Good carseat

Kisha106

Nice carseat. Very soft materials seems very comfortable. Love the base! The raised backing that sits against the back of the seat is genius! It keeps the base snug in place and prevents any wiggling that sometimes happens with many other standard bases

Lacking newborn head support + faulty sunshade

Mea7

I have the same issues as many other reviewers: the head support is lacking for tiny newborns - we added an additional insert to keep our babies head from just dropping to the side but it’s still not great. Also, the sunshade does not stay attached. When the Velcro is secure on one side, it pops off on the other. It’s frustrating and just makes the car seat feel like poor quality when it was expensive. We would have returned it for these reasons but it was given to us as a gift with no gift receipt included.

No head support

Kat874

I just received this car seat and there is absolutely no head support for an infant. I contacted Graco already via phone to the car seat technician team and was advised there’s no alternatives and nothing they can do or can be done. I wouldn’t purchase due to the head support and I’ll be look to return this seat if I can.

Nice quality, fit is not the best for newborns.

mikaila16

I was gifted this before my second son was born. I like the quality of the seat but there is no proper head support to keep my newborns head in place. It seems like it would be very supportive but that is not the case. The Velcro canopy always comes undone. I wish my newborn fit better. I have the fit adjusted properly with straps below shoulders, tightened straps and slack pulled out of hips, and proper install and still don’t feel comfortable with the way my newborn fits in this seat. I do like that it is easy to adjust the straps and I’m sure when my baby is a bit bigger he will fit better but my first son’s car seat was cheaper and better than this!

Not good for newborns or lower weight ranges,

Disappointed sourguy

I have to rate this as a 1 because regardless of testing. The amount of side to side movement a newbornS head has does not make me feel like it’s safe enough. To me it’s more than just testing. It’s how confident it makes me feel to keep my baby safe. There needs to be some sort of an insert for those babies in the lower weight range. My baby is over 7 pounds.

No Newborn Support

Breezy111

After using this seat, I can say with absolute certainty that I would never recommend it. First, and most importantly, it does not have enough support for newborns, even large ones. My son was born at 10 lb 4oz 22 inches and was absolutely swimming in this car seat, even with the included infant padding. I can't even imagine what it would be like with a smaller baby. Unfortunately, I did not know any better at the time and we received this car seat and an additional base as a gift. I thought the fit was just "how it is" but after doing more research and seeing plenty of other newborns in their car seats, looking all safe and snug and secure, I came to realize this car seat is just not the quality I had hoped. It was too late to return at that point and we did not have it in the budget to purchase a new car seat and an additional base. I was loaned a Chicco infant seat that we used instead until my son had grown enough to fit more securely in this seat. As we await the arrival of our second child, I find myself looking for a new infant car seat. It is still not in our budget, but I just can't go through the stress of worrying about the safety and comfort of my child every time we have to go in the car. Another thing to note; the canopy is held on by two tiny squares of velcro, and one side is constantly popping off. As soon as you reattach it, the other side pops off, as though it is just not big enough. It also does not extend down very far at all, leaving it ineffective at blocking the sun.

Car seat review

Sherri Cuellar

I’ve had it for 2 months And I don’t recommend it for a newborn the head support isn’t good for a newborn.

Extremely padded making the fear of anything happe

HannahO

We love this car seat. Besides the neutral cute pattern, it’s comfy, extremely padded and safe for our newborn. He’s now 7 months (almost 8) and is still in it! The buckles are easy and the base is so easy and quick to install. This is our second graco car seat (we had one for our oldest son as well) and we plan to stick with graco for our future third too!

Great, safe infant carrier

shaarab

Love this infant car seat. We were able to get a great fit for my 7 lb newborn and it has grown beautifully with him. Very easy to buckle him in with the holders and I love the way it supports his head. He tends to calm down whenever we get in the car and I think this car seat has a lot to do with it! Easily attached to other Graco bases and we love that it was compatible with the Graco stroller we already owned. Carrier is a little heavy with baby in it, but that's to be expected at this stage in the game!

I love that it clicks into my stroller for quick trips.

janessaf6

The Graco SnugRide is lightweight, easy to install, and keeps my baby cozy and safe. I love that it clicks into my stroller for quick trips. A little bulky for small cars, but overall, a great car seat!

It's affordable for first time, parents

kaleyf1

I have taken this car seat out the box, but I put it away until the baby arrives. This car seat is very affordable for families that I can't spend $600 on a new car seat. It is very sleek and I love the color. This car also has good ratings. It is also very comfy and I know this because my cats like to lay in it.

Comfortable carseat

chellet1722

We love this infant car seat for our son. I wanted something that was going to be comfortable for him so I searched in the stores for items that I could see and feel myself. We came across this one and we love it very comfortable very easy to fit in the car no issues at all.

Safe seat but minor flaws

Jocelyn0321

The Velcro keeps detaching on one of the sides of the canopy. This seat is not good for newborn we have troubles getting a good fit for our son. I love the No rethread harness!

Easy installation

Ambmerr

I am due any day now and this car seat had great reviews. Super easy to install and will work great with my graco stroller!

Great Quality!

jenn13

We ordered this & are loving it so much ! I love the colors & quality of padding and comfort !

Snugride Snugfit 35

Krissie081520

Graco is amazing, I called looking for replacement parts for my 6 month olds carseat, only to find out that it had been discontinued, so the parts were not available. Instead of just saying there was nothing they could do, the replaced her entire carseat with the latest model of it. This seat it equipped with better safety items then the last one. It's amazing and my daughter is way more happy in this seat then she was in the old seat. It's awesome.

Great features and quality!

Mommysboys

I bought this car seat for my second baby because I love Graco products. Their products have awesome features. I used a car seat and stroller in the past with my first son and I a was very happy how good and save they build their products. This car seat is completely different from the first I own, because this car seat is easy to install and lighter to carry and super comfortable for my baby boy. Thank you!

Just OK

Mml1007

Was honestly disappointed in this car seat. ConsThe head support it not there. My poor babies head is bobbing all over and I’m constantly trying to hold it up. The canopy on it is cheap and the Velcro barely keeps it on. Pros: it is light to carry and easy to take out of the car. Budget friendly All in all I’d recommend splurging on better head support it would make all the difference . For our second kid I would deff get a different brand.

Canopy does not fit

Hannah1010

I really like this seat but the canopy cover that it came with does not fit, so it won’t secure to both sides with the Velcro.

Not happy with this seat

Shark girl

This seat is not for newborns, no head support, it is too big. Even now my baby is 2 months, she just don't fit in it, still no headsupport and she is way to upright instead of laying in the seat. The baby is basically flying in the seat. I would never recommend this seat. The only thing what works well is the click in system for in the car.

Very Easy to Use

Matt Mo

It clicks in so easily, we thought we made a mistake. But no, it is very firmly secure, and is even easier to use. Nevertheless, I would strongly suggest going to the local police/fire station to ensure it is installed correctly.

Great carseat

KaitlynJ

Easy installation and set up. Perfect for what I was looking for.

Ok product

Chust

horrible sun shade. Never stays connected and is horrible quality. It’s a pain anytime I have to mess with it. Also car seat has horrible neck support. Baby’s head moves all over the place. The one great thing is the easy car seat click in and out of base.

Horrible car seat

Beth8

I hate this car seat and do not recommend. The straps always get tangled. The chest clip is always slipping and gets stuck which scares me if we were ever in an emergency. The buckle also gets stuck and the button is hard. This car seat is a hassle. Do not buy it. We’ve had it for almost a year and I look forward to getting a different car seat soon. The silent canopy is short and you have to constantly pull it. The canopy would also come off on one side because of the Velcro. Also the infant head support didn't support my baby at all. And it’s not worth the price.

Budget Friendly and easy to use!!

alyssag454

The perfect car seat for first time parent(s)! It's very durable and easily cleaned. As a first time mom I found this product easy to install and easily understood the manual. I love the safety features it offers as well as the adjustable handle and canopy to perfectly shade your little baby!!

Easy to install, secure and comfortable

katelynm255

This is so easy to install! Baby is always comfortable and happy in this seat. The head rest is so padded and secure. I love how easy it is to make taller as the baby grows.

I do not wish to display

This was a baby shower gift so I cannot tell you how the product has performed. I can tell you about the ordering and shipping process. That all went very well and the product was delivered on time.

Great carseats

Penquin

Love the new look,bought two for twins,like that they nap on the double stroller,I also bought

Average product

Aliyah

A bit disappointed by the functionality of this product, but it is fine overall. The canopy is a pain and seems like it doesn’t fit properly. We’ve also struggled with getting our newborn to fit in the seat properly. The shoulder straps slide off even when tight unless we have the pads on, and it seems to be inconsistently tight or loose in different areas. His head constantly falls to the side too.

awful car seat.

luken

garbage car seat. youre telling me these penny pinchers couldnt afford to make halfway decent connections for the sun shade? whats the goal here. are they trying to punish us for paying a mere 180 dollars instead of the 230? and doing so with cheap fabric, velcro that doesnt stick, loud squeeking components? i'd get rid of this awful product in a heartbeat if i could but unfortunately someone gave me this as a gift with no receipt. horrible horrible product. graco you should feel ashamed.

Poor head & neck support

AC807

This car seat is totally lacking head support. My infants head is literally 90 degrees in this. You can tell the other Graco models have since corrected this & have more padding. Why isn’t there padding or something Graco offers to correct this? This can not possibly be safe for a babies neck. I wouldn’t recommend this model.

Cheap and scratchy fabric

Saara

The fabric is very scratchy and not at all something I'd like to lay my baby on. The canopy fabric doesn't stay in place at all. The velcros on the canopy are too tight and come off even with just a little movement. It's supposed to have a "silent canopy", but the scratchy fabric makes it quite loud.

Love!!

Anonymous

Perfect fit for my twins, at a great affordable price!

This car seat offers secure installation and comfortable fabric, but the tight non removable headrest makes it less suitable for larger infants.

aleabsmith

I REALLY wanted to love this car seat, but unfortunately, it didn't work out for us. The headrest is way too tight, especially for an older infant (2+ months) or one with a larger head. My child was uncomfortable immediately, and he started crying as soon as I got him into the seat on multiple occasions. It makes me wonder if he feels claustrophobic in it rather than snug? It also feels like I can't get a safe enough fit around his shoulders, which is a huge concern for me. I was excited about the one-button handle feature, but it ended up being finicky and not as convenient as I had hoped. On the positive side, the fabric feels comfortable, and the installation process was straightforward, so I'll give it credit for that. However, the issues with the headrest/harness were a dealbreaker for me, which is why I'm giving this product 2 stars.

Disappointing Product

Hpoiroux

The canopy that comes with this car seat does not fit the car seat. The canopy is supposed to velcro go the seat and it does not accurately line up. I was very disappointed in this product

Falls short in several areas

db0424

I have the same complaint as many others. My brand new baby has no head support. No matter how I adjust the shoulder straps to be as snug as they can be and make sure he’s in the proper position, his little head ends up flopping all the way over and I have to constantly adjust him or sit in the backseat while someone else drives so I can keep an eye on him. Additionally we have the same issue with the canopy that others mention. It absolutely is not the proper fit and cannot Velcro to both sides at the same time. Very disappointing.

Lose fit in base

Amanda1993

The seat did not fit snuggly in the base that came with it. I didn’t feel safe with the amount of wiggle present, ended up returning the whole car seat and ordered the LX version with the upgraded base.

Canopy doesn’t stay attached

Alpalll

Bought this car seat at the Buy Buy Baby sale. Overall it does the job for the price. Biggest complaint is the canopy doesn’t stay attached. It’s attached with velcro and comes undone often. Wish I could upgrade that piece.

Safe, but low quality build

Newmom01

First off, I feel this is perfectly safe. I have several minor complaints though. First, the base doesn’t sit quite straight in my car. If you’re installing in a middle seat, your car might not have LATCH in the middle seat, and you’ll need to use the seatbelt. If you have a combination seat/ shoulder belt; just know there are other designs/ brands of base that will work better with a standard seat belt. See my pictures for more detail, it’s complicated to explain. Second, the seat rattles in the base, and I know it’s not the base, because we have a different base in a different car, and it rattles in that one too. The sun shade also comes un-velcroed easily, and sits a little crooked (see picture). The seat pads are easy to take off to clean, but the fabric is difficult to get poo stains out of. The chest clip rattles a little bit when buckled, but it stays clipped. I’ve also noticed other brands of infant seat have better padding around the head, but it hasn’t been a big problem. The sun shade feels like cheap material, and it bunches at the top of the seat, to the point that I’m worried it might hit the baby’s head when they’re taller. I feel my baby is perfectly safe, but this is one item I wish I’d spent more money on to have a fancier car seat.

Great seat for my Granddaughter

Nana Beth

Great seat. Absolutely love you can adjust the length of the straps without unlacing them. Easy to install.

Car seat

CWhe

The velcro didn’t stick and the car seat arrived dented

Nice car seat but way too hot

Art0606

This was a baby shower gift and it’s been great but our baby is now 5 months and he gets real uncomfortable in the car seat since it gets way too hot! He sweats so much while in it. Also we cant get the car seat to to the 3+ month mark which leaves the baby in a laying position vs more upright. Their adjustment doesn’t work very well since it just lays the baby more vs sitting him upright a bit. So not sure if baby doesn’t like the car seat because it’s too hot for him or because it’s in a laying position. We are getting a new one soon and steering clear of Graco since they weren’t too helpful. They basically said too bad and deal with it.

Great features!!!

I bought this 6 months ago and it’s truly the best car seat in the market!!
