The safety features are exactly what we were looking for and we like how sleek it looks. However, we do have two complaints. First, the handle is not as smooth as it could be (I.e. the handle stops at different points when trying to push it back so you have to keep squeezing the button and pushing back multiple times to get it into the correct position) and it often gets in the way of the shade. Second, the car seat is difficult to get out of the base. I always struggle with getting it to detach but getting the car seat in is no problem and seems very secure.","reviewer_name":"Lyssmarie2017"},{"date":"5 years ago","title":"Amazing and Safe","rating":5,"content":"My wife and I have purchased this for our newborn son.

Easy to install, but when I click in the car seat, the car seat itself is able to move back and forth pretty easily and doesn't seem like it is locked in for some reason (even though it is).

Also, the one latch to unhook the car seat from the base already seems like an inconvenience, as it doesn't unlock easy or all the time.","reviewer_name":"agray1121"},{"date":"a year ago","title":"I’ve bought it twice already","rating":5,"content":"Ive bought this seat twice and I’ve used it for 3 different kids and absolutely loved it.

It’s nicely padded even without the infant inserts. It’s super light, but still seems very safe. Comes out of the base nice and smooth, the cover is like a spandex material so it stretches. It has the one button on the top of the handle that’s a huge plus. Only problem with that is to push the handle all the way back, you have to lock it into place and then push it back. That might be annoying, but not a deal breaker for me. All in all, I’m satisfied. Hopefully baby is happy and comfy.","reviewer_name":"Dj1991"},{"date":"2 years ago","title":"Perfect for tiny twins","rating":5,"content":"We almost didnt get a  infant carseat for my twins and what a mistake that would have been!!

But one thing that is very difficult for myself is to take the car seat off the base no Matter how hard I pull and push the button it does not come out from the base for me and was kind of difficult to install for my boyfriend his hands are not small so it was hard to install with the latches surprisingly . Also the carseat itself was quite heavy for me to carry surprisingly. But overall it does look like very good quality from the car seat I had before which was a plain  Jane even flow one. It also fits into my car very well. And isn’t as bulky as the even flow one I am able to sit into my car comfortably in it my car. My car is a Volkswagen  Jetta gli. For a reference for you all... I wish I had my baby so I could tell you the comfort level but two more months left maybe I’ll leave another review to update! Overall satisfied with the material and head support it has compared  to MANY others I’ve looked over.  It also took quite a bit to ship. It looks like the car seat was made this year which is a plus I’m glad I ordered it off of the actual website besides Amazon the same car seat from Amazon supposedly is completely different looking shockingly like a knock off or something  and I heard many different things like they’re used and serial numbers don’t match up so I did it though the safe side and ordered from Graco.","reviewer_name":"Stechia"},{"date":"5 years ago","title":"Car seat","rating":5,"content":"Very sleek good looking, and light.

We’ve used the Graco SnugRide 35 LX infant car seat for both of our previous babies, and plan on using it for #3 as well. We have 2 bases (one in my car, on in my husbands) and just one actual car seat. My oldest was in the infant car seat until they were like 9 months. They seemed to enjoy it, and didn’t exceed the height/weight limits until then. My second was in it for about 3 months. They absolutely despised being in the car seat, so we went ahead and switched them over to a convertible car seat. In my car, both of their car seats are the Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 convertible car seats... We like both options, but I definitely prefer the 4Ever. When I just had one kiddo, we used the Graco Modes stroller. And now that we have two kiddos, we use the Graco Ready2Grow LX 2.0 double stroller. I’ve liked both so far. Both were compatible with our infant car seat.","subreddit":"parentsofmultiples"},{"type":"comment","title":"Comparison between Chicco KeyFit 30 and Graco SnugRide SnugLock 35","author":"sunshineandrainbows","ref_id":"r_e_2","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/BabyBumpsCanada/comments/ow4ki1/chicco_keyfit_30_vs_graco_snugride_snuglock_35/","title":"Chicco KeyFit 30 vs Graco SnugRide SnugLock 35","subreddit":"BabyBumpsCanada"},"excerpt":"I have both the Chicco KeyFit 30 and the Graco SnugRide SnugLock 35.
