Graco SnugRide 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 carrying baby from the car to the house or stroller is 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.

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 home...

I am a certified car seat tech. I install car seats at least 4 times a month. This car seat is very popular and we hate seeing it coming into one of our checks because this car seat is hard to properly install if you do not have latch in the middle. If you did not know the middle is the safest b/c it...

I love the Graco Snug Ride Car Seat! I actually bought this in the Travel System with the Stroller. I bought this car seat for my daughter who was born in October. At first I was concerned at how it would work with her being born at just 6.5 pounds, but even for the tiniest of babies, it works great! I was able to get her snuggly and safely strapped in with no problems.

I also love that this seat fits so well with the Graco Passage Stroller. I don't have to take her out of her car seat when she is asleep...I can just click her right into her stroller.

This seat came with one base and we bought...

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.

We purchased the Graco SnugRide Car Seat as part of the Travel System. It's the only infant car seat I had experience with, but I have to say I liked it. There were a few things I had problems with, such as when carrying the carrier part of the car seat. We rode the city bus a lot and would end up carrying just the carrier and held the stroller because we had to have it folded. The carrier was awkward and kept bumping into my legs, jostling my son around. I'm not sure if it was because the carrier was too bulky, or if it had to do with the handle position, because I have seen other car seats where...

The Graco SnugRide Car Seat is very easy to use. We have a two-door car and the back seat isn't very big, but this car seat is as easy as it gets when it comes to taking it in and out. If you happen to not have a base with you it has an option to use with it. It comes in so many sute patterns, and you can snap it right into a Graco single or double stroller. It is a little to heavy.

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 carrier into the base and go.  And it... review »

The SugRide car seat that I decided to purchase was for my 4th child, a baby girl.  I knew that I wanted to get a Graco car seat as all three of my older children all rode in an infant car seat made by Graco.  A couple of months before my due date, I found and ordered a cute pink and white car seat for my baby girl.  The pink and white pattern is super cute for my little princess. 

The seat is really easy to install by follwing the easy to follow directions.  I love that the seat snaps right into my Graco strollers too.  I am able to put the car seat in the single Graco stroller that I own...

I had twins and needed to find car seats that would be affordable and easy to carry around. I also needed to have something that I could fit into a twin stroller. The Graco SnugRide car seat is the most affordable and practical one that I found. It comes in many different styles for boys, girls, and unisex which came in handy since we did not know what we were having.

The car seat holds infants from 5 to 22 lbs. It has easy to carry handles and is lightweight for a car seat. It also has infant headrests which come in handy since you are not supposed to add anything to car seats these days. It also...

I love my Graco Snugride. In fact, I've passed it on to my sister to use for her new baby! I never felt my daughter was unsafe it in. One of the best features is that you can purchase additional bases to put in other cars---spouse, grandparent, babysitter, etc. So you save money by not purchasing multiple carseats!! Who doesn't love saving money? Another great feature of the Snugride is the foot cover for babies. It helps keep their little toesies warm in cold weather! It also has a canopy that you can use to keep the sun out of their eyes, and it is also removeable. In terms of price, the Snugride...

I think that the Graco Snugride infant carseat is one of the best carseat's out there. This car seat is so light and easy to carry you can take it anywhere! It also comes with a base you can always leave in the car so you just snap it right in no seat belts to deal with every time. With the easy button on the back makes it easy to get out of the car as well. Most importantly baby can go on car rides safe, comfortable and were all happy for that. This carseat has served our family well. I would deffinately reccomend the Graco Snugride infant carseat to all of my family and friends. I give the Graco...

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 install and came with the LATCH system,...

Graco Travel system with snugride infant car seat.  Great travel system.  Easy to use.  Stroller folds nicely and easily with one hand.  Little heavy and bulky, but is a full size stroller.  Can use the rear-facing infant car seat with or without the base and can purchase extra bases for it.  We recommend the adjustable bases for the car seat.  We needed them.  We needed to use an extra head support cushion when he was first born because he was a lot smaller than average, but he uses the included one just fine now.
