 What Do Parents Think Of The Graco Snugride?

As stated above there are a large number of positive reviews for both the Graco Snugride car seat and the stroller frame. Here are some of the main points made by reviewers.

• One of the things which scored highly was the fact that the Snugride35 is a little bigger than some infant car seats and is suitable for babies weighing up to 35 pounds and up to 32 inches tall. This does mean that the seat is a little bulkier but it will last for longer before your child outgrows it.

• The fact that the seat base remains fixed in the car was also very popular. One parent said that she has bought two bases so that one could stay in each of the family cars.

• The safety rating was an influential factor for several purchasers. Graco products are rigorously tested and do have a very solid reputation when it comes to safety standards.

• The seat fabric was rated highly. Very comfortable for baby and some attractive designs to choose from, including neutral ones.

Overall the Graco Snugride is practical, safe and comfortable. Of course there are some negative points raised - mainly about the weight of the seat. However for most people this seemed to be worthwhile for the advantage of added safety and longer usability.
