JUN

2008

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 padding in it than all of the other seats that I found and instantly put my son to sleep when he was fussy.

The features that ultimately convinced me to purchase this seat are the five point harness, the removable base that stays in the car for quick installation of the seat, and the ability to use the seat with the matching stroller. Another feature that I enjoy is the leveler that allows you to be sure that the seat has been installed correctly with just a glance. It is a fairly reasonably priced car seat at only eighty dollars. The seat is lightweight which allows for easy transportation of the baby between the car and the house, as well as into stores while the child is sleeping, until the child starts to get heavier.

The height and weight limits are some of the highest in this particular infant carrier. The weight limit is listed at five to twenty two pounds, and the height is up to twenty nine inches. My son was fifteen pounds and twenty six inches tall at seven months old and his feet started to hang over the edge of his seat.

Overall I am very pleased with my decision to purchase this infant seat. The only thing that I find to be a downfall is the fact that most people will have to purchase another rear facing seat because the child will reach the height limit well before he reaches the required twenty pounds and one year of age to be in a front facing seat. If I had been aware of this in the first place I could have just purchased a convertible seat for the same eighty dollars that I paid for this seat.
