Graco SnugRide Car Seat Review Summary

The Graco Snug ride is one of the most popular Infant car seats on the market since it is a “natural companion to any of the company's strollers.” Reviewers describe the Snugride as “highly rated for safety“, “affordable“, and “easy to carry and use.” Convenient features of the Snugride include ease of installation (even without a base) and the carrying baby from the car to the house or stroller in an easy transition. The harness is easy to use on a daily basis, yet “tedious to adjust because it requires re-threading.” Also, there is a “short window of use” due to the height/weight requirements as well as how heavy the seat becomes as baby grows. Viewpoints reviewers “recommend this seat to anyone looking for value, safety, and convenience,” but also recommend the Graco Safe Seat with its higher height/weight limits.

Solves a suburban mom's dilemma at a good value.

Graco's SnugRide car seat is the natural companion to any of the company's strollers. Clicking the carrier from the car seat base to the seat of the stroller really preserved peace and tranquility while my daughter was tiny. Transporting her in the car seat from the road to the restaurant and back… read full review »

This seat is the worst ever never ever ever buy this seat. I guess but it is just me, why the heck does this seat keep flipping over. I use the seat beats to hold it in the center seat and it tilts over. Child and all. Even when the seat is on the passenger side. I also tried it with the black belt… read full review »

Great and easy to use, if a bit heavy when baby gets older

AUG

2007

We were expecting twins and were given the car seats and the matching stroller as a gift. The car seats were great when the only thing that had to be done was click them into the base and go. The bases were easy to install or remove. The safety harness was easy to use with a single click to undo the whole thing. — The only real negative was that it did become a bit heavy as the babies got older - I need to carry it with two hands. Even with that, I would still go with the Graco again. —… read full review »

My Mom and Dad bought me the Graco Snugride after it was recommended in their car seat safety class they took before I was born. Mom is a safety freak and had the car seat installation checked a month before I was due. Mom is so into safety she is always pointing out what parents are doing wrong on those baby shows on cable. Putting a huge puffy coat on a baby and then strapping them into a car seat - what are they thinking? Cribs filled with bumpers, pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals - the horror! — Anyway, Mom thought I would outgrow this car seat in like 6 months because her… read full review »

Good car seat

2008

The Graco Snugride is a great infant car seat. We used it with our stroller for the first 4 or 5 months. Our baby could have fit in the infant car seat longer, but we decided to move him to a convertible seat at that point. That said, the Graco Snugride is easy to use and very convenient. It's a safe seat and doesn't cost hundreds of dollars. The base is easy to install with either the seat belt or LATCH. One of the best parts of the Snugride is that you can buy extra bases for extra cars. That is a GREAT thing! It's so easy to just snap the… read full review »

A great car seat, at a great value

This car seat was perfect for my son. After having two girls, we had gotten rid of the old car seats and had to start again from scratch, but were very budget-conscious. We looked at many different options, but kept coming back to this particular car seat. — We had used Graco seats and strollers for our previous children and always had a good experience. This particular car seat came in great fabric colors at a great price. It's consumer reports information was all positive, which made me feel good about the safety of the seat. It was very easy to… read full review »

I purchased the Graco SnugRide infant car seat in the Mystic pattern for my son. He absolutely loved it and I loved the safety of it. It is a very comforting feeling knowing that my son is safe while we are in the car. The LATCH feature is great for people that have newer cars with the capability of using harnesses to snugly restrain the car seat. Even if you are unable to use the LATCH feature you are still able to use the removable base with your car's seat belts or even just the seat itself with your seat belts and still not have to worry about your child's safety. The seat has more… read full review »

I'm crazy about safety when it comes to my children. Having a five year old leads some to wonder if there's anything that's really 'childsafe', but there is! Graco's new Snugride system is a child-safe, parent-friendly, affordable car carrier that I'm absolutely crazy about. Graco has a great company name to start with, so I was instantly attracted to their line of products when we heard we'd be having our tiny little love. Well, while we were comparing prices, safety, and durability we found this carrier to rise above the others. After we brought it home we found just a few tiny problems.… read full review »

I've had my SnugRide for some time now. I used it with my daughter and will now be using it for my son in just a few more weeks. I would not have bought any other car seat on the planet for either of them. I am a self proclaimed car seat Nazi...there is nothing more important than our children and their safety and in my opinion (and the opinion of Consumer Reports) this is one of the best car seats out there. The seat is comfortable, easy to install and use, SAFE SAFE SAFE and stylish. Yes it does get a little heavy as the baby gets older...but um...does anyone else besides me think that it's… read full review »

The cutest car seat I could afford--too bad it's been recalled.

I honestly bought this carseat because I got a great deal at Target on it. It had been previously purchased and so I bought it as-is. I was thrilled when I got home and saw the cute pink toile pattern on it. I also liked the silver base as opposed to the white I had for my older daughter's car seat. The silver doesn't get as noticably dirty. The pad is very thin and slips off easily, which is why it didn't totally surprise me to find out that the pad has been recalled because it can deteriorate and the kids can suffocate on it. So far, I have had no… read full review »

I looked and researched alot before making my purchase that I felt would protect my child and I would not have to think twice or worry once about his safety. Graco was obviously the smart chice. They have been around for years and a very reliable. As a parent you can't always think about money you have to dop the research and get the best product when it comes to your childs safety. That I did. I bought Graco and have been very satisfied. I have talked to many a parent that agrees and others that have listened to me and then bought Graco because of the free… read full review »

I purchased this car seat after a friend recommended it. We had an infant car seat that did not have a base with our first child. It seemed like the next best thing to sliced bread. However, when I bought this car seat, with a base...I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! I never knew it could be so easy to get my baby in and out of the car. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was getting the seatbelt tight enough. I really seemed to struggle with getting it in there, and tight. I wanted to make sure my baby was riding safely and that I didn't have to… read full review »

If you are looking for a great carseat at a nice price then this is the seat for you. My son is special needs and doesn't have much body control. We tried NUMEROUS carseats before finding this Graco seat. This particular seat has the memory foam padding and is awesome! My son needed a little more support than the average baby and he has a shunt so comfort of the head is a necessity! This seat is affordable and you get so much more than most seats offer! The straps are easily adjusted with front button access to adjust them, the handle has several positions which come in handy, the cover is… read full review »

We got this car seat for our first child. I spent hours on line looking at safety ratings and user reviews. We ended up purchasing the Graco Snug Ride. It was a great purchase. It is easy to install in the vehicle and it is easy to get the infant in and out. We bought the stroller that goes with the carseat and that was really nice too...very easy to attach the car seat to it. I also liked the array of fabric choices they had available. We were able to get a fabric that matched our nursery theme. — The only downside for us was the carrying… read full review »

It is hard to describe with words how amazing it is to be able to put an infant in their car seat and then take them still in the car seat and bring them shopping, put them in the stroller etc... My daughter took naps in this car seat when we'd arrive home and she'd fallen asleep in the car I didn't have to wake her to get her out of the car. Just picked up the whole car seat and was good to go. Sure it gets heavy, but so what. I'll take that over having to constantly put a child in and out of a car seat. When my daughter outgrew this I was so sad and it's… read full review »
