Graco Car Seat

I bought this harness as a replacement for my baby's carseat after a visit from grandma's dog who chewed through the original. The harness is a pefect match technically, however, the original one was a tan color and the replacements only come in grey. Fortunately, it matches the latch for the shoulder straps so it does not look out of place. Other than that it is a perfect replacement.

Highlight Feature

• Helps simplify getting your baby in and out of his or her Graco car seat
• Two piece harness

Editorial Review

This two-piece harness tie design makes it easy, fast and convenient to get your baby in and out of the car seat. Use this harness tie only on Graco car seats manufactured after January 1, 1997. Not intended for other brands of car seats.

Since we already had a snug-rider, this seemed to be the perfect fit--both for the seat and for our budget. We've only had it for about a month now, but everything seems to work smoothly. The seat clips in perfectly, it's lightweight and easy to move, though a bit awkward if you're packing it up to move somewhere. Our baby loves the rocking motion, the vibrations, and especially the soothing water sounds. He likes the music too, but the water is a bit more subtle and less distracting if you're listening to other music or watching TV.

I am not giving this the full 5 stars because of the awkwardness of packing this item up in the car (the frame where the seat sits is a bit bulky and doesn't lock for easy transport) and because of the battery life. We go through new batteries once per week for the rocking engine, sometimes twice. Also seems odd that the batteries do not power both the music and the rocker, which makes it a bit more of a pain to replace.

Overall, I do believe this is a good, solid product at a reasonable price.

Highlight Feature

• Open top design allows easy access for attachment
• Variable speed choices to soothe baby
• 5 classical songs with nature sounds
• Compatible with Snugride 32 infant car seat
• Battery operated with 4 c cell batteries

Imagine being able to turn your car seat into an instant swing!

Editorial Review

This is the seat children pick as often as parents. Kids love cool perks like the hide-away cup holders and the “big kid” design features, especially the height-adjustable head support and padded, height-adjustable armrests. Parents love that it helps keep their children safe. It has EPS, energy absorbing foam, and open loop belt guides to help ensure proper seat belt positioning. And when needed, it easily converts to backless booster, giving you years of use.

I picked this infant seat for a few reasons:

It is lightweight, only 7 lbs itself w/ out base,( and baby)

It has the EPS foam lining the seat between the plastic and the fabric baby sits on.

The fabrics used are easy to clean and are the colors I was looking for, Black, and Beige orange accent color. There is a velvet fabric in beige that is super soft!

It comes with a removable foot cover which will be great in the winter months or when going to the park in the stroller.

It also comes with removable shoulder strap covers (to lessen the irritation of the straps) and removable head support all which you can throw in the washer and clean if need be.

The canopy is a little flimsy but also removable, and it has a peep hole in the top so you can see the baby through it from the top.

The base it comes with is super easy to install took husband 5 mins, onces he read through the instructions, they make it very clear if it is installed correctly or not..
Overall I really like this car seat and I will recommend it to my friends.

For our first son, we used the older model that went to 30 lbs. We found that he outgrew the seat before 30lbs and was ready for a front facing seat by 15 months (he's a tall boy). As far as I can tell this seat is slightly bigger. It is also heavier. For kids like ours the limiting factor for a rear facing seat is how long until their legs don't take up all the room between the seat back and the car seat. I don't see how this chair will change that limiting factor - but my newborn is still only 2 months old. I'll try to update this review in 10 months.

Other than that, these are great seats. Secure, well built and having a solid reputation. We thought about going with a more expensive seat, but the safety reviews seemed pretty similar (some put this one higher). I just borrowed a friend's less expensive car seat (Eddie Bauer) and it was hard to get the fit right and it really seemed flimsy and much less secure.

I recommend getting the 'Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame" for about 55 bucks. It works perfectly with this seat, and is super light and convient for keeping in the car - good for grocery store etc.

Highlight Feature

• Convenient, stay in car base with seat belt lock-off and adjustment dial to help insure secure installation
• Engineered and crash tested to meet or exceed USA standard
• 5-point harness with front adjustment helps keep baby secure
