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

Editorial Review

Imagine being able to turn your car seat into an instant swing! This unique idea of taking a compact swing frame and attaching your Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat or Infant SafeSeat Car Seat was inspired by veteran moms. We kept hearing stories of babies who sleep contently when riding in the car, but wake crying once they're home and Mom takes them out of their car seat.

The SnugGlider Infant Car Seat Swing Frame continues the car ride so Baby can get a longer nap - without Mom having to drive around the neighborhood all day! The SnugGlider Infant Car Seat Frame Swing has variable swing speeds, two speed vibration, music and nature sounds so you can choose the right soothing "recipe" for your baby's needs. The lightweight, compact frame folds, so you can bring it on vacation, picnics, to Grandma's or anywhere you need instant soothing.

• Easy to fold or take apart for travel and storage
• Compact, lightweight frame for on-the-go soothing

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

A little background: I am 5'11" and my husband is 6'3" -- so when researching infant car seats before my son was born, I focused on seats that would work for a larger baby. (and now he's 6 months and 20 pounds) I also read Baby Bargains cover to cover for recommendations on all kinds of gear. I like their style, and am a no-fuss kind of girl. We settled on the Graco Snugride 32 and this frame as our infant stroller combo.
After 6 months of use, the stroller has been great. They've designed the system to be pretty fool-proof. Everything that is red does something for you -- locks, unlocks, snaps, clicks, etc. It folds up easily and I like the latch they've designed. (The latch/locking mechanism is something that I've only really started to appreciate as we've begun to research other stroller options.)

PROS: compact, lightweight, easy to fold, latches well, wheels lock easily, the handle height adjusts for taller parents, the basket is huge and easily accessible.

CONS: sometimes it's a little hard to steer and I've bumped into curbs and walls while not paying attention. This is a minor complaint.

In hindsight it may have been a better idea t get a different stroller -- one that the infant seat could snap into, but would also allow him to grow with. We've looked at the Metrolite but I think the latch would drive me crazy; in the store it never seemed to catch correctly. We ended up buying a second-hand Peg Perego Aria MT this weekend and it looks like it's going to be great. We also just bought a new convertible car seat too, because although this one will still work for awhile, he's way too heavy to be carting around between cars.

I absolutely love this product. Since my daughter was born, this is the only thing she'll sleep in. I have a rather large, two-story house, and her bedroom is upstairs -- mine is down. Since we didn't want to put her all the way upstairs to begin with, we planned for her to sleep in a bassinett in our bedroom for the first few months. But she hated it. We had already purchased this pack & play to keep in our great room -- for diaper changes & naps. When we realized this was her favorite place to sleep, we started letting her sleep there at night too. Three months later, she still sleeps there.

The diaper changing station is perfect. She's about 14 pounds now, and she still fits great, with lots of room to grow. The diaper stacker is great for having those on hand, but the wipes holder is pretty useless -- they get dried out too fast. But we use a wipes warmer anyway, so this wasn't a problem for us. The two mesh "cups" on the changing station are great for holding necessities -- pacifiers, lotion, medicines, etc.

The sleeping part of the pack & play is fantastic. Its surface is quilted for comfort, but it's made of a fabric that wipes up easily. The vibrator function is a lifesaver, although ours has gotten noticably louder over the months we've used it. It used to be very quiet, but now it almost rattles -- even with new batteries. But it's not that big of a deal. She loves this feature. The console also features many other functions -- music, nature noises, lights -- but we haven't really used any of those.

My husband put it together, and it was somewhat complicated, but that's to be expected for such a large product. We haven't attempted to take it down and move it.

I recommend this product highly. It's more expensive than most other pack & plays, but it's very functional and so attractive. I have the entire Rittenhouse line -- it's great for both girls & boys, and its pattern is classic -- no cutesy flowers, owls, animals, etc. It looks great in my home and we get lots of comments about how pretty it is.

Just snap it into the most popular infant car seat and you're on your way. This custom-designed adapter requires no strap or adjustments. In stock and ready to ship, unless otherwise noted.

I wanted a rain cover for our stroller, and netting for the carseat and/stroller.... this gift pack WITH monkey cost less than those 2 items separately! The covers fit my Graco System very well, and my Jeep jogger-type stroller well enough. I haven't had the raincover out in any real rainstorms yet, but the coverage looks fairly complete, with good ventilation, too. The mosquito netting held up well the times we used it this past August and September. I recommend this product and will probably purchase it for future Baby Shower gifts.
I only gave it 4 stars, as a little carry bag would have been nice.

Protect the little babes from the elements with a rain cover and stroller netting. There's even a toy bar with a soft plush monkey hanging for their entertainment!

I recieved this car seat today and am very pleased. Had a little bit of a problem with the canopy however. It comes with two sets of canopy attachment parts. They kinda sent me 3 correct attachment pieces and one wrong one but I was able to figure out a way to put them together anyway (and done in a safe manner). I was expecting it to be brown and a little bit of a pinker color. It's more like brown and a burnt orange color. Still very cute. The material is VERY breathable and durable. Looks like it's easy to clean as well. When you want to adjust the straps, you don't have to go through the back anymore like the car seat I bought by Graco in 2007. It's right on the seat itself below the buckle in the middle of the legs. I really like that part. Overall a great seat. Can't wait till my daughter is born in April 2010 so we can bring her home. Also bought the Zarafa double stroller. Hasn't arrived yet but very excited.

As a first-time parent I've come to terms with the fact that not all products fit every baby, and not every baby is meant to fit all products. As parents you all know that you can't wait for your child to arrive to find the perfect car seat. So if you are trying to find the "perfect" seat, you might as well buy several - 1 to bring your child home from the hospital, and then the 2nd one after he/she has arrived, and every time your child gets a growth spurt.

So with that said, this car seat works perfectly fine with my baby, even if it hasn't worked for others' babies. It's lightweight, and easy to use and install. We did have a state trooper install and inspect the installation of the car seat in one of our cars. I highly recommend it as the state trooper made some adjustments because of our bucket seats in the car - they were at a bad angle which made our infant tilt a bit too much forward in the rear-facing seat. Yes, the car seat cover is not the best material ever, but it works. If you are a parent, you know spit ups and accidents happen, so a more plastic type cover makes for easier cleaning. As for the whole sweaty baby thing, of course the poor thing will get sweaty. Even when I sit on stuff (breathable or not), I can get sweaty depending on what I'm wearing, the temperature, etc. So just be mindful of the temperature or environment.

Our infant was also on the smaller side, so we had to invest in some additional inserts to help keep his head from moving side to side. I noticed there were tons of complaints about the handle on this seat. It isn't the best, so I definitely agree with the rest of the reviews. But our instructor at our parenting class made a very good point. She said you shouldn't carry a car seat, with a baby in it, by the handle. It's bad for you because not only does it tweak your back, but you can risk injury to your arm, wrist, etc. She recommended carrying the baby by the car seat itself, like a laundry basket. Not always easy to do, but definitely worth remembering.

By the way, good luck! Picking stuff for someone who you've never met isn't the easiest thing to do!

We purchased this car seat on a recommendation from a friend for our second car. We had received a Safety 1st convertible seat at our shower (we didn't register for it) and have been using that in our main vehicle. This car seat blows the Safety 1st out of the water! This one is super easy to adjust without removing the seat from the car, the multi padding helps to get a tailored fit. Our son is a little on the lean side, so the extra padding makes it a more secure fit for him. The plushness of this seat makes me want to ride in it. I would buy this again in a heartbeat. Hands down the best convertible car seat out there! Don't waste your money on anything else.

  ▷▷▷ What People Say About This Product
  
  
  

Another review from someone who hasn't actually used this with a baby yet...but I have already purchased it, based on my researching strollers for almost a year via online reviews and in-store experimenting. There are a lot of great strollers out there that cost big bucks, but I wasn't willing to pay 0+ for a stroller. I love this one because it's lightweight and has a slightly-narrower wheel base than most of the other stroller systems I tried out (this stroller weighs 19 lbs, compared to the 28-33 lb ones I was trying out), and is VERY easily maneuvered with one hand. The color scheme is gender-neutral. BRU has it for about more in a grey and yellow scheme. I like the Strata, which is what I purchased. It's very pretty, and the aqua is just slightly brighter than pictured -- not garish at all, and aqua enough to not automatically scream "baby-boy pastel blue!"

My favorite part about this stroller is that the handle swivels so that you can push the baby facing you, or facing outward. Most the travel systems let the baby face you when they're in the snap-on infant carrier, but unless you go really pricey, it's hard to find one that lets the kid face you once they're out of the infant carrier. I found one other that did, but you have to move the seat itself, which takes time, effort, and can't be done with the child in the stroller. At one year old (when the baby outgrows the infant carrier), Mom is still the most interesting thing out there for most kids, and I want to be able to interact with my baby as I'm pushing him, vs. having him isolated from me and staring out at the world. The handle swivel mechanism is very easy to use, but locks in place with a nice, secure feel.

The one and only tradeoff with this stroller (for me) is the lack of a storage tray for drinks, keys, etc. Because the handle swivels over the stroller body to change the seat from facing inward to outward, they didn't put a tray on the handle. If it were me, I would have designed a reversible tray so that it worked from both directions, but they didn't. What they did do was provide one cup-holder that sits on the handle off to the side, and can swivel with the handle. For me, that's an acceptable trade-off, but it might be a deal-breaker for others.

This came with the stroller, carseat/carrier, and the stay-in-car carseat base. As with most products containing plastic products, this smelled when I first took it out of the box. I set it outside for a couple days to off-gas, and I'm going to wash the fabric parts before using...but the smell dissipated very quickly.

I just received this item. Putting the canopy on was no problem. The colors are as shown, red and black with gray. I love the removable boot (sleeping bag) for winter. I planned to use this car seat with my Bob Revolution stroller, and they are a perfect fit. This car seat is very easy to use and I like the 5 point harness. I would like to thank the seller for shipping to an APO address as well.

ATTN: Britax owners. 2009 Roundabout, Diplomat and Decatholon models may not be compatible with out product. Whether flying on an airplane or traveling by train or bus, it is safest and most comfortable for your child to be in a car seat. But traveling with a young child, their seat, and your carry-on can be tricky. Not anymore. The Traveling Toddler strap allows you to attach your LATCH and top tether equipped toddler's car seat to a rolling carry-on suitcase. Simply attach the LATCH and top tether straps from the car seat to the Traveling Toddler and adjust the straps so that the car seat is held securely on the suitcase. Once adjusted, the car seat can be detached and reattached to the suitcase in seconds. Lift the handle of your carry-on bag and you have a fun new stroller. Now there's an easy and inexpensive way to take your toddler's car seat and other gear on your trip. You do not have to buy a special seat or suitcase. As long as your suitcase handle locks in place, you can push it like a stroller. Your hands are free for check in and its simple to unhook for security. Keep your child safe and comfortable in their own seat. The Traveling Toddler has been tested with most major car seat brands including Graco, Eddie Bauer, Cosco, Evenflo, and Britax, and a variety of carry-on suitcases and has worked with every combination. It is important that the telescoping handle of your suitcase locks in place. If not, it might not stay extended when you try to push your child in front of you, though you would still be able to pull them. If flying, make sure that your car seat is FAA approved before traveling. The Traveling Toddler strap is made from heavyweight polypropylene webbing that will withstand 900 lbs of force. When not in use it easily slips in the pocket of your carry-on. As with any other wheeled child carrier, do not use the Traveling Toddler on stairs or escalators. Car seat and suitcase sold separately. Patent pending.

It's just a plain board, that you can definitely purchase at a local hardware store. I was expecting something a little different, considering it was .15 with shipping, maybe a logo or something fancy on it to make me feel that it was worth it. However, I cant complain too much because although it is annoying to see what it is, the company recommends to buy this board, and you can't take a chance when it comes to a baby, so I would have paid hundreds for this stupid brown board, and you should too.

Highlight Feature

• For use with the angel care movement sensor
• For cribs without a flat bottom
• Prevents damage to the sensor pad due to bending and will allow the monitor to function properly

Editorial Review

If the crib does not have a flat bottom for the sensor pad to rest on, place the masonite board on top of the springs and the Sensor Pad on top of the board and under the mattress. The masonite board will prevent damage to the sensor pad due to bending and will allow Angelcare to function properly.

This review is for the Graco Snugride 35 Infant Carseat - Lowery Design

Pros:
1. Self Supported Canopy (Big plus for me)
2. Easy to adjust harness
3. Up to 35lbs and 32 inches
4. Sturdy Base with adjustable angle
5. Extra handle position
6. Great design (haven't seen the other designs, Brunswick and Flint)
7. Rubber on base to prevent slippage
8. Works with the Graco SnugGlider Swing

Cons:
9. On the heavy side of car seats

Description:
1. I must say I am really writing this review because of the self supported canopy. I have seen and used many other strollers and car seats with annoying canopies that latch to the back of the head rest and come out a certain distance. While this is a standard design, I hate it. Unless the canopy is really huge, it is basically useless, because unless you live on the equator, the sun always comes in at an angle. The Graco Snugride 35 has a self supporting canopy frame. So the canopy can be adjusted as far forward as you'd like and still maintain its structure. This is such a great feature to keep sun light, wind, and all sorts of weather off the baby, regardless of what angle it's coming in at. Sure other car seats let you unlatch the canopy from the back and move it forward, but then the back of the canopy droops down because it has no support.

2. I love the harness on this seat. First off it has the individual side clips that can be buckled in separately, so there is no fancy finger work trying to get the two sides together and then snap it in. Second, the harness is easily loosened by depressing the clamp and pulling the harness away from the baby. This makes for easier access to the baby. Just in case you were worried, when the seat is snapped into the base, even if you depress the clamp, the harness won't budge. Safety feature I guess. I had a car seat prior to this one that was just incredibly difficult to loosen the harness, so annoying. I do say the chest plate seems a little large for a newborn, but my 7lb 7ounce son does just fine (he's now 8lb 4ounces).

3. I love how long this should last. It seems so stupid to buy a car seat that can only be used a few months. 35 lbs and 32 inches should make life a little easier. However, this feature causes a little more weight, which I will discuss later.

4. I am coming from and Eddie Bauer car seat to this car seat and owe my, the difference is like night and day. I don't know what Eddie was thinking, but their base was so wobbly when installed it was like placing the car seat on a took pick and praying it didn't tip over around a curve (Yes, I put all my weight on it and tightened it real tight). When I installed the Graco Carseat, which was a breeze to do, it felt sturdy before I even gave it a big tightening pull. And to add the security, the base has an angle adjustment knob which causes the plate on the bottom, called the `foot' to move downward by twisting the knob on top. I did this after I tightened the base in. This increase in height tightened the base even more. That base doesn't move an inch, or even a millimeter. The only thing I'm worried about, is the nice square imprint the foot will leave on the seat of my car, lol. Oh well, the safety of my child is way more important.

5. The extra handle position is another plus for me. Most car seats have 2 positions in which the handle snaps. One spot is the carrying position and the other is at the head rest. The Graco Snugride 35 has and extra one in between. It's not really a big deal, but it's just one of those things that makes life a little easier. Mostly I like to set it in that position when he's in the car so that the handle doesn't block my mirror set up.

6. Design is awesome, soft and sturdy. My wife loves the print. So do I since it's pretty neutral and we are planning on having more kids. I love the newborn head rest. It's seems more plump and effective than others, but I do agree with the other review that it could be plumper as there's still plenty of room for the newborn head to move around. We just add a small rolled up towel around his head for now. In about a month, I imagine it will be the perfect size.

7. I love the rubber and the bottom of the car seat. It makes me feel so much more at ease when I put him down on a slick surface. Also it still has a curve to it so you can rock the car seat if you'd like.

8. This car seat works with the Graco SnugGlider, which I am so happy with right now. My son will cry (sometimes) when I first put into the car seat, but as soon as he's situated, it's off to a peaceful sleep. He doesn't like being still though for very long. So we either place the car seat on the swing or hurry up and get to the car. Not sure why, but car rides put our baby at peace like nothing else. Perhaps it's the vibrations, I don't know, but they need to make a car simulator for babies, lol. Anyways, since he sleeps so well in the car, we love the fact that when we get home, we don't have to take him out of the car seat and wake him up. Instead, we just attach the car seat to the SnugGlider and it keeps the motion feeling going which keeps the baby asleep. The swing does have a vibrating setting on it, I just haven't used it yet, probably should try that out. Anyways, the ability to turn the car seat into a swing and not have to take out the baby (which usually wakes him) is just so nice.

9. Well, I put this in the cons area, but it doesn't really bother me. I've read many reviews about car seats, and the one thing people complain about and take away stars for is the weight of a car seat. I tried out a few car seats and determined that these people are stupid idiots. This car seat may be a little bit more then the lightest ones out there, but those light ones won't hold as much weight as the heavier ones. And my goodness, we are talking about a few pounds difference. If you want to down grade something for weight alone, why don't take a star away from your baby for every pound he/she gains. When the baby weighs 25lbs, the weight of the car seat should be a breeze. The best way to make things seem lighter is to do arm curls and work up your muscles, either that order a carbon fiber car seat. But I'm sure there still people who want to know about the weight. At 9.4 pounds it basically doubles the weight of your newborn. Both my wife and I are able to carry it around without much hassle. Don't get me wrong, I don't go on long walks with the car seat. But carrying it into a store or for a short period of time isn't a big deal. If he's gonna be traveling with me, I'll put him into his stroller.

Summary:
This is really a great car seat. I am very glad with my purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone with a new baby.
