Graco Car Seat

The Britax Chaperone is an awesome ugprade from our previous car seat, the Graco SafeSeat 32. While we liked the Graco fine, there are some unique features of the Britax that make life a little easier. First, my husband says adjusting the straps is a snap compared with the Graco (there is no threading required). He also was really impressed with the "quick release" latching mechanism (push button latch connectors) for installing the base. Instead of having to dig around in the car seat to find and release the hook from that bar deep under the seat, there is a button that you hit to release the hook and just pull it right out. How much easier that will make transferring the base to Grandma's car!

I was worried that because it's a little larger footprint that it would be heavier, but it does not seem to add weight and it's not too bulky to carry. (No one likes lugging these, but it's no worse than the Graco SafeSeat 32. It would be a lot larger than the smaller infant carriers). I really like the head rest. We had a Kiddopotomas "Snuzzler" in our other seat to keep our daughter's head from moving around. The Britax includes great support and is much safer for an impact because it has nice foam padding.

I really love the harness system and it's easier to hook in a squirmy baby. The bottom buckle is adjustable so we're not constantly digging it out from under our daughter and trying to pull it up to connect those two little hooks at the bottom. It's still very secure though - just easier to work. The material and finishing of the car seat is really very nice. The included canopy is extra large but not obtrusive when folded down. The fabric of the cover (cowmooflage) is a really good quality and is easy to remove for washing. There are built in strap covers that wipe off easily if you have any food spills on them.

The only con is that additional bases are . The pro about these bases is the anti-rebound bar - it minimizes gravitational forces (bouncing into the seat and back) in case of collision. It is easy to install (as previously discussed) and easy to adjust the seat height and angle.

Overall I highly recommend this car seat for the great safety features of the Britax as well as the quality and convenience of all the little "extras" and ease of use with this seat.

I was so happy to come across these on Amazon. I was tired of scrounging around my friends to see if they had any extra after I lost 2 of mine. I finally bought 3 to have on hand and they were very inexpensive. They are the exact locking clip I was looking for. Great, great buy.

Highlight Feature

• Pack N Play Sheet White
• 27"x 39" sheet fits most portable playards
• It minimizes movement of sliding latch plate for a snug fitting car seat
• Works with any car seat with an integrated harness system

Editorial Review

A locking clip minimizes the movement of the plate part of the seat belt which clicks into the buckle. On some seat belts these "latch plates," as they are commonly referred to, slide freely on the belt strap and so it is necessary to use a locking clip to get as snug a fit for your child car seat. All Graco child car seats with integrated harness systems come with a locking clip but it can be a good idea to buy an extra one or two for your other automobiles.

It took my husband and I bit longer than expected to put the stroller together (we had problems with the rear wheels) but once everything was hammered and popped into place we were ready to do!

This is our first child, but the stroller handles much better than I thought it would! We figured the release pulls for the car seat immediately and the base just strapped in my Xterra.

We haven't put our son in the actual seat yet, so we shall see how he likes the recline of the seat. I like the easy strap on the back to fix the recline of the seat, I figured that out rather quickly as well as the easy release of the bar in front of the seat.

The colors are GORGEOUS! I am really happy with the design over all and if we have a daughter next, I will have no issues putting her in it.

The perfect accessory for your new Graco Car Seat is the the Puppy Bearview mirror. Rear-facing car seats are a safety necessity. Keeping a watchful eye on your infant at all times is a parent necessity! The Puppy View Mirror is designed to let you safely check your baby while you're at the steering wheel simply by glancing in the rear-view mirror. It also doubles as a crib mirror.

We have this same system (but different color/pattern). I love how comfortable it is to push and for my son to sit in. We purchased it for an infant (I am 6 months pregnant), but until the baby comes, my 3 1/2 year old son is using the stroller. He fits in it very comfortably and he loves riding in it - very smooth ride. My husband is 6'1" and I am 5'3" and we both find it easy to maneuver. Sometimes strollers are too short for him to push without getting a backache, but this height is great for him (and me too).

We have not used the car seat yet since I'm still pregnant but we love the look. We like the padding and that it is easy to clean. We had a Graco travel system with our older son, but this is more of a "loaded" model, and we like it a lot better! Looks sharp and at a decent price.

My ONLY issue is sort of a major one. The stroller does not fit into the trunk of my car (Pontiac G6 sedan). It is a HUGE stroller to fold up in comparison to the lower-end Graco model we used to have. It does fit in my husband's Saturn Ion trunk. We didn't realize this until we purchased it, and it's a pretty big deal...so please keep this in mind if you don't have a large trunk!! It is very tall when folded.

Highlight Feature

• Rotating peek-a-boo window shades your child from any direction
• Multi-position reclining seat keeps comfy
