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.

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.
