My Viewpoint:  Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat is considered one of the most popular car seat carriers on the market. The "Jewel" design is pink and brown, perfect for little girl babies.  It is easy to install in your car as well as other cars. The car seat base comes with your purchase of the car seat/carrier however, additional bases are available for $39.99 so you can easily use the Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat in different cars.  You anchor the base into your car with the existing seat belts and the car seat if rear facing.  Good for weights up to 20 pounds (9 kg) or less; or measuring less than 26 inches (66 cm). Installation and use is sort of idiot proof, if it's not in just the right position it will not click into place and there is a display that tells you if the base is installed correctly.

Some of my favorite features was the ability to move my daughter from the car seat to the house or anyplace else without disturbing her. She slept right through it.  Also, the base fits well on the Graco Snugride Infant Car Seat Frame (priced at $69.99) turning your Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat into a stroller. 

I appreciate the canopy keeping the sun out of her eyes, as well as nosy people from peaking in on and touching my baby.  Sounds rude, but I just hate it when strangers touch my child.  I pull the canopy up, then drop a lightweight blanket over her while sleeping and she is untouched.

The five point safety harness was very important to me.  I like how it fits and it is comfortable for baby.

Although the Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat cover is easy to remove and wash in cold water- it's not so easy to put back on.

Some things I don't like about the Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat.  It gets really heavy as baby grows.  Also, the handle is not very comfortable, it needs the "twist" that is the design of many other infant car seats. 

Overall, the Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat is a wonderfully useful infant car seat carrier. The ability to use it for several different functions as well as keep my daughter comfortable is very important.  It is expensive, but for the versatility, comfort and safety it's worth it. You can definitely use it for baby number one, two and maybe even three. 

Safety note:  Although baby may be comfortable sleeping in the Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat please don't leave children in it too long or overnights. This can cause physical problems to baby's head and neck that are very expensive and painful to correct and cure.
