Graco SafeSeat Review

The Graco Safeseat gets a good review from me.  The only complain that I read about it before purchasing is that it's a little too heavy.  I am a first-time parent, and haven't used other car seats, so I can't compare.  It's definitely manageable to me, though, and I'm pretty out of shape after a "lazy" pregnancy! 

I liked that the color on this seat is very gender neutral -- gray with some green and white circles.  I figured it would be good for future children as well. 

It's very sturdy, and probably better suited for colder temperatures (we live in Houston).  My baby got very hot in it, and I had to take the newborn head support out sooner than I otherwise would have.  However, that is a feature that I liked.  A lot of the other seats we looked at (that were cheaper/lighter, etc) didn't have the head support.

It also comes with a cold-weather boot, to keep your little one warm.  I didn't need that down south, obviously, but I'm sure it would have been great if I had a northern, winter baby.  It looked VERY warm. 

We also love this car seat because it fits great on the light-weight stroller you can buy seperately for only $50.  It's so much easier than trying to carry around a duel-system.  All and all a great seat, I don't regret purchasing it at all.
