One of most important things I look for in a car seat, is safety on the road. The load leg feature on this car seat gives a little extra peace of mind when driving on busy roads. It is a nice bonus feature even if it isn't a necessity. The instructions were clear on how to set up the load leg and it was easy to position. It does take up some space if you are in a vehicle where you need the space under the seat, but in most vehicles, it would be unobtrusive.\nThe actual car seat and car seat base were extremely easy to install. The car seat looks stylish and comfortable. The seat feels soft and  well padded. The fabric is easily washable. The only downside to the car seat is that the headrest is not supportive for a newborn.  My 2 month old would occasionally need his head repositioned.\nMy favorite feature of this car seat is the button to position the handle is on top of the handle. I can reposition the carry handle with one hand. It is extremely handy when my hands are usually full. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this car seat to a friend. Thanks for Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this product to review.","reviewer_name":"Maria"},{"date":"2023-09-15","title":"Extra Safety Features","rating":5,"content":"I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I'm impressed. The Load Leg feature makes this Graco SnugRide car seat more secure in my vehicle.  The Load Leg gives the seat extra support and tension so that the car seat doesn't move at all. The Leg adjusts easily with a push of a button to adjust the length for proper fit in different vehicles. This makes me feel better if something were to happen that I know she is very secure in this seat. It is easy to install in the car. The seat detaches from the base with a quick pull of a lever on the back of the seat. I love that the belts are adjusted through the front without having to refeed them through the slots. This makes it easy to keep the belts snug no matter what she is wearing and if course as she grows. The headrest extends upward for more room with a pull of a lever.  The handle adjusts positions with one hand making it so easy to put her in and out of the seat. There is really nice thick head and body support for comfort and snuggling baby in. The material is soft to touch. The attached shade moves smoothly. I definitely recommend this car seat to anyone looking for a safer choice with high end features.","reviewer_name":"ScottyC"},{"date":"2023-09-14","title":"EASY and LIGHT","rating":5,"content":"Not all carseats are this easy, don't be fooled.

It was almost too easy. I'm not someone to read through instructions but I reviewed just to make sure I had it right because I was able to do it so quickly. This could be one you easily switch from car to car. The actual seat is LIGHT! Woah, I can carry my 18 pound babe in her seat so that I don't have to wake her from the car snooze!

Installation was pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, the height of my back seats apparently isn't quite right for the load leg - it was not \"firmly\" planted against the floor of my car, and there was just a little wiggle room. The load leg locks at 4 different seat heights, so it probably works for many cars, just not for mine. I think it was close enough that it probably adds some safety over a car seat without the load leg, but probably not as much as it would if it fit snuggly.\n\nI also couldn't figure out how to remove the straps from the car seat. As a mom of 3, I know that messes happen. Being able to throw straps in the washer with the rest of the fabric parts is definitely nice, and something this seat lacks. \n\nLastly, the car seat is pretty wide with the base (which you need to use the load leg). The fit was okay but not great in my car. \n\nReceived product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.","reviewer_name":"dvamom1"},{"date":"2023-09-13","title":"5 Star Car Seat","rating":5,"content":"I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

The load leg was very important to me since I know that while the car is in motion the car seat wont rotate. This features provides my baby with an extra layer of safety that I love. Also, since my baby is on the taller side I was able to easily adjust the headrest and harness to fit him. This feature was also great because my baby is on the taller side.  The car seat is also designed very nicely and has a sleek look to it. It looks great in my back seat and baby enjoys riding in it too.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the handle feels cheap and like it may become an issue down the road if used again. The one hand operation of the handle is nice but it’s just not right yet, further engineering is needed. \n The fabric feels like good quality. I was impressed on how big the canopy is, it really covers better than other seats.  My 14lb 5 month old seemed very comfortable in the carrier and only slightly clammy when removed from the seat after a 35 min car ride. \nI like the latch system on this seat. I’ll be honest It clicks into place easily which may seem like a given with a click in base but it’s not. I’ve used other carriers where you’re stuck sliding the seat around and have it abruptly drop once you find the right space. This is easier to locate the opening to click in.\nThis seat was very easy to install as was the load leg… don’t let it intimidate you. I was impressed with the extra leg to help with impact. I pulled on it and tried to wiggle it around, and it wiggles but I’m still very impressed. I love a car seat with a load leg/ rebound bar. It just makes me feel like I’m doing everything I can to keep my baby safe. Yes, it interferes a bit when I try to fling my diaper bag into the backseat but it’s not the end of the world. \n\nI was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.","reviewer_name":"Katlovesya02"},{"date":"2023-09-12","title":"Easy to install","rating":5,"content":"[I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.] This is a super user-friendly car seat that has safety as a top priority. I have installed other car seat bases and this was by far the easiest one. The base I had before you had to manually tighten the anchor straps and I felt like I could never get it tight enough but that’s not the case with this. I also love the load leg feature! It adds an additional level of safety and makes the car seat feel really sturdy and secure. Another feature that you don’t realize you would love until you have it is the adjustable shoulder straps and headrest. Being able to just slide them up all at once instead of having to thread the straps is so convenient.

It is my first Graco infant car seat (not my first Graco car seat) and it is surpassing my old ones. It is sleek and looks luxurious without having the luxury pricetag.

My first thought when opening the box was how nice the car seat looked overall. It has a high-end look with nice fabric, and clean lines. Starting with the base, it is rather heavy, but it will be staying in the car so it’s not like it has to be carried everywhere. When you first get it out of the box, you will see the base has a spot for both seat buckles to store and be attached to the base. Therefore, if you don’t have the hooks in your car or you’re just using a seatbelt with the base, the latches for the hooks aren’t just flopping around in the car. The instruction manual is very detailed, and does a great job of explaining how to install the base into any vehicle. Once you latch the seatbelt hooks into the car, there’s an added feature that secures the strap onto the base. I was really impressed with this feature because even though I had the strap tight, once you lock that extra feature in place, the base didn’t move at all. Once you have that installed, then you extend the load leg. And the instructions were very good at explaining exactly how to know if you had this in place correctly. I do think it is important to have this additional feature because it will take the load off of the car seat if you were ever to be in an accident. The base we have in my husbands car does not have the load leg and we are now thinking about getting a different base to make sure we do have the load like in both vehicles. The car seat itself was a great gray color, very gender neutral. It was slightly heavier than the car seat we had in the past, but not heavy enough to make me not want to use it. The handle seems very sturdy. It has multiple positions that it can be placed in. The shade on the top is a little less impressive. I was expecting it to come down a little further on the seat to avoid sun shining into my son’s face. Also, it feels cheap for what the overall look and feel of the car seat is. My favorite part of the car seat was probably the extra insert and cushion on the inside of the car seat. It seem to give extra comfort for the baby and was easy to adjust. The straps were also very easy to adjust and the manual helped explain that very well. I do really like how easy it is to put the car seat into the base. It literally clicks right in and when you get to where you’re going and are ready to pull the car seat out, there is a handle to squeeze behind the top of the car seat that makes it incredibly easy to unhook and pull out the car seat. I really like that feature because previous car seats I have owned were very difficult to get out. This car seat has an easy handle to squeeze to unlatch the car seat from the base. Overall, I would highly recommend this car seat in the Graco a brand. I think it’s durability, safety features, and comfort make it desirable for anyone.","reviewer_name":"Kelsmoore"},{"date":"2023-09-12","title":"Sturdy sleek and snug car seat","rating":5,"content":"The name “snugride” is very fitting as this seat really keeps my daughter’s head snug and secure which is reassuring as a first time mom.

And man, I wish I’d had gotten this seat way sooner!  \n\nYes, they all meet the same safety standards, but it is totally worth paying a little more for the comfort and extra safety features of this seat over a basic seat.  The amount and fit of the padding with the infant insert and the head piece are a huge improvement over our old seat in how comfortable and secure my little guy is when buckled in.  The quality of the material is so soft yet easily cleanable, it does a great job of repelling dirt and stains, but it’s super easy to pull off and wash when you need to.  And the sun shade on this one comes forward and down in more of an arc than straight out like our other seat providing much better shade coverage!\n\nI love the one button handle adjustment as opposed to the two buttons on other seats.   Yes, it really does make that much of a difference- when do you ever have two free hands when carting kids around?? And the ability to lift and lower the head piece to adjust the straps without having to take it all apart and rethread the harness is huge and provides a much safer fit!  \n\nThe base is super easy to instal whether you chose to use the belt path or the latch system.  It is easy to get a tight and secure fit to keep the seat from sliding around.  The load let feature is one of those things I always thought was a neat idea, but was it  one of those features that was really worth it?  Yep, it is!  It’s super easy to adjust for different vehicles, and the seat feels soooo much more solid than in a base without one.  The piece of mind from just playing around with the seat to see how less wiggle room there is with vs without the load leg is incredible.  I know my little guy is so much safer now, should anything ever happen, than before.  And you can’t put a price on keeping our babies safe.  \n\nThe only part I don’t love are the big warning labels printed on the seat back padding.  I feel like my little guy’s back is sweaty sometimes when I take him out of the seat.  Now whether he’s sweating more due to the placement of the printed label or the fact that it’s been hotter than a frying pan this summer I’m not totally sure, but just one thing I have noticed.\n\nI 100% recommend this seat, the bells and whistles are absolutely worth it!  I am so thankful to have received this infant car seat to test out (thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel) but I would definitely buy it in a heartbeat.

I used the anchor clips in addition to the load leg and it took me less than 5 minutes to install it. I truly liked the option to level the seat at different stages of age. It made it a lot easier to know when my little one needed to be adjusted. The base as well as the car seat itself is super lightweight which is a plus for a mom of two under two who has to move car seats around often. The material of the car seat wasn’t my favorite at first, it’s not as soft as some of the other car seats I have. BUT it is a lot easier to wipe down in the event of a spit up or snack being thrown and spilled so that’s a plus in my eyes. One thing I noticed about this car seat is the chest clip seems to be smaller than I’m used to, it didn’t seem to bother my 5 month old at all. This was not a negative nor a positive, just simply something I noticed. My favorite feature was the button to maneuver the carry/handle bar piece was easily pushable and located in a convenient spot directly in the center of the handle.

It has so many convenient features. The the Click Connect base came with the SnugLock belt lock that makes installation more secure, a leveling adjuster, lower anchor straps with easy release clips which was a much wanted upgrade for me, and the load leg, which is a feature I hadn't seen until now. \nThe load leg is easy to set up, and also easy to store folded up under the base. It reduces forward movement of the carseat and also helps transfer the impact energy from a crash to the floor so baby feels less impact. It is important to note that you may not find it useful if you drive a minivan that has stowable seats and want the carseat to be installed there because the floor in front of the seats is hollow. \nThe carseat itself also came with awesome features such as easily adjustable harness height, snap away fabric so washing it doesn't require rethreading all of the buckles, and onehanded handle release which is another much wanted upgrade for me. \nThe carseat did arrive with a few scratches on the handle, hopefully its appearance holds up. The shade has a quality feeling to it, but it could be improved by having an extension or privacy screen added to it.","reviewer_name":"ilzlar"},{"date":"2023-09-11","title":"Graco Snugride 35 DLX","rating":5,"content":"I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Until receiving this car seat I was unfamiliar with a load leg. After using this car seat and doing some research about the safety feature I really like the idea behind it. My philosophy with baby products has always been safety first, so it is definitely something I would want in my child’s seat. \n\nThe only thing I don’t love is that it’s a bit cumbersome once installed, and takes up more space that I would like behind the seat. We’re a busy family so space is at a premium. With 2 older kids climbing in and out of the car daily, they are constantly tripping over the load leg, and my oldest kid still kicks it from time to time. So it’s an annoyance and added step for me to check that it’s in the correct position every time I put my baby in the car. \n\nBesides the load leg, I genuinely like everything about the car seat. The base was easy to install, and I like that I could get the latch straps nice and tight with the cinch bar. The car seat clicks in and out easily and feels secure when attached. It feels a bit lighter than other infant carriers I’ve used, which is always appreciated as they grow quickly. I loved the look, colors, and style. The straps feel sturdy and tighten smoothly. My 4 month old looked safe but comfortable. \n\nMy favorite feature is actually the button on top of the handle to adjust its position. As a mama of 3 I feel like I’m always holding a million things. It is SOO easy and convenient to be able to slide that bar up or down with just one hand!! I also like that the shade comes down pretty low. She is definitely kept  well shaded in this seat. \n\nOverall I’m very satisfied with this whole car seat system. Like I mentioned the added safety outweighs the annoyance of the load leg, and I love the look and feel of everything else.","reviewer_name":"Jessica"},{"date":"2023-09-11","title":"Easy to use","rating":4,"content":"I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. If you’re looking for an easy to use car seat this one is as easy as it gets. The installation is pretty efficient. I like that  you can anchor our seat belt strap it in. The leveling feature is quick. Just turn the dial til it levels out. This is much easier than adjusting the seat itself.  The anchor bar is a great add for safety. Aesthetically it’s not too big or bulky. Doesn’t get in the way of anything. I love an extra safety add. The car seat snaps in very easy. I didn’t find myself struggling to get it to latch. My baby found comfort In it. Didn’t seem too snug for an infant car seat. I enjoy simple colors so the dark grey and black looked great in my car. The car seat itself also doesn’t weigh a lot so holding it with the baby inside was easy not to straining on the arm and shoulder. These aren’t cons but more of a wish. I wish it had a swivel feature so I could snap the baby in and turn to rear facing.  I’d definitely recommend this and I’m going to continue to use it.","reviewer_name":"Sjcope"},{"date":"2023-09-10","title":"Graco Car seat","rating":5,"content":"To start, I’d like to thank the Stellar product test panel for providing me with this car seat! \nI have only used Graco car seats in the past so I was familiar with the similar design of this one. This specific car seat base was the main character as it has a leg that goes to the floor of your vehicle for extra safety. I shook my old car seat and base around and it had a little movement but not much, then I shook this car seat and base with the load leg around for comparison and it hardly budged! I was very impressed! It was super easy to install and made me feel like in the event of an accident that it would be very secure. If you store items on your vehicle floor, like a diaper bag, the safety leg does eliminate a little room for any floor storage but not enough to be bothersome. The car seat then clicks in with ease. The car seat itself is also great, very lightweight! I love the one button to adjust the carrying bar position as I always have to move the bar when I have my hands full. The strap adjustment release button is hid next to the strap that tightens the straps under the padding which eliminates any exposed plastic pieces to be in the way. For a tiny infant I would suggest additional head support as there's not much padding to keep their head up straight if they cannot hold it up themselves like some of Gracos other designs. I did appreciate how easy this car seat was to adjust everything to match your baby, almost all of it could be done one handed. I would rate this car seat and base set up as 5 stars. I really couldn't find anything I disliked about it and I love knowing that the extra leg safety feature keeps my baby so secure. The base also allows other Graco Car seats to clip into it.

It’s easy to tell that it’s a high end car seat as soon as it’s out of the box. There is a remarkable attention to detail when it comes to both comfort and safety, and it’s an incredibly well-designed car seat compared to other models on the market. \n\nOf course, when researching car seats, I found that rear-facing ones are considered the safest. This one adds an additional layer of safety with the Load Leg Technology, which is meant to reduce rotation of the seat/infant in case of a collision. I have not seen other car seats with such a feature, and having that extra safety measure is reassuring. \n\nInstalling the car seat was easy and straightforward. There is also a small instruction manual that comes with it for any troubleshooting. The canopy unfurls quietly and blocks out light effectively, making it ideal for naps. There is also a small gauge on the side of the car seat which can help determine if the car seat is positioned correctly. Both the harness and headrest are easily adjustable for the growth, safety and comfort of our little one. I really like these features. \n\nThe seat is VERY soft and well-cushioned, making it ideal for the comfort of infants. I would not hesitate to use this car seat on longer journeys given how comfortable it is.

The one downside is that is does tend to rattle loudly when you’re driving without the weight of the seat clicked into the base.

First off, it was super well packaged and included everything I needed for a quick and easy install. It took me a minute to adjust the base to make it level, but only because my car’s seats are super slanted. The load leg is super cool and gives my wife and I added peace of mind that if we were to get in a crash, our child would be extra protected. It was really simple to adjust for the depth of my floor, but be careful not to over extend the leg - it’ll make your base no longer level. I have one irritation with the leg though - when my daughter is not in her seat, the leg rattles on the floor sometimes. It’s like not having her weight impacts the tightness and therefore causing a pretty annoying rattling. We’ve solved the problem by pulling the leg up when the car seat is not in use, which is a simple adjustment. As for the seat itself, we love it. Graco is a brand we trust, especially for car seats and our petite daughter feels very secure in this seat - no wiggling around. Overall we are happy with how easy it was to install the base and the extra safety features of the car seat, but the one downfall is that the leg can rattle a bit when the car seat is not in use.","reviewer_name":"Dd12"},{"date":"2023-09-10","title":"Great features with a little room for improvement","rating":4,"content":"I was thrilled to receive this car seat in exchange for my honest opinion through the Stellar Product Panel because I am all about new safety features when it involves 2 ton plus vehicles that I'm not the only one in control of. I immediately looked up more information about the load leg and was pleased to see a decent reduction in head injury risk in comparison with those without. I hope we never need to find out how effective it is, but it certainly gives some peace of mind to know it is there. The leg does take up a little bit of extra space in comparison to other styles, but my overstuffed diaper bag still fits on the floor without too much trouble in my Mazda 3 hatchback although I should note I'm only 5'6\".\n\nI was also excited for this seat because we have a double Graco stroller with click connect and this seat worked flawlessly with it. It quickly gave me a lot more confidence in taking my just turned 2 year old and 4 month old out and about on errands and other events by myself. My little one seems to find it very comfortable and easy to drift off to sleep while on the road or remain content just relaxing and taking in the sights.\n\nThe single button adjusting carry handle is probably my favorite feature that I didn't know I would have wanted so much when shopping for my first child's seat. I can't even begin to count how many time I've forgotten to lower a handle and accidentally bumped baby on some part of the handle on other seats because you can't use two hands to unlock a handle if you're already holding baby. Even though this is my favorite feature it is still a little flawed. For whatever reason it won't go past the second position without letting go of the button and repressing it, even still it can be a little finicky, luckily this position is all you really need to put baby in smoothly. The handle height vs canopy height is also funky, they often get stuck on each other making the quiet, but definitely not \"silent shade\" a little louder and annoying to deal with at times.\n\nBeing able to adjust the the straps without unthreading is probably one of the best features for new parents though when baby is growing so quickly then especially when baby had at least one blow out (if you're lucky) and you have to clean the seat cover. Even if you're super fast at threading and unthreading this has to save you at least 5 minutes each time which really can really add up in those first few months.\n\nInstallation was rather quick. I'd bet I could install it in under a minute in the future now that I've done it although it definitely took a few extra minutes the first time. I'd love if Graco would add a QR code to their install videos in their manual as I couldn't find one for this specific seat, just their premier model. While I always read the manual, I feel much more confident when I can double check against a video.\n\nA few other minor complaints are the straps are easily twisted unlike other styles I've used. The grey is appealing, but I feel like it still absorbs a good bit of heat in the summer so I'd love to see a lighter color offered. Overall I'm rather pleased with this car seat.","reviewer_name":"Dogmama874"},{"date":"2023-09-09","title":"Great infant car seat","rating":5,"content":"I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

The Graco SnugRide 35 DLX Infant Car Seat with Load Leg Technology has been a great car seat for us.  I never knew much about load leg technology in car seats, but this is a great additional safety feature for the baby.  We regularly drive on the interstate for our commutes, so the added safety is very comforting during our rides.  The load leg was simple to install and tucks away easily underneath the base when not in use.  We did have to adjust it a few times to make sure the load leg was not pushing up too much on the base.  The material seems very sturdy and has a nice look to it with the neutral shade we received.  The seat itself was easier to carry around and seemed to be a bit lighter than our 3.5 year old previous infant seat we have been using for our newborn.  The base was very easy to install and adjust as needed, even with the load leg.  The car seat itself snaps right into the base for easy install and removal of baby.  One of my favorite features was the amount of space it gives in the foot area for the baby.  Our previous infant seat did not have a wide leg area for our large baby to grow into it seemed, so this wide space was very nice and will allow for longer use of the product.  The one downside was the head support at the newborn stage, maybe because it is a wider seat all together, but the support around her head was lacking at 3 weeks old.  This can easily be fixed with an infant insert, which is how we decided to remedy the situation, once we realized her head needed the extra support.
