I've been using this infant carrier for my daughter for only 7 weeks, but so far I am impressed with the car seat. First of all, I did a lot of research and was impressed by the high safety ratings this car seat earns. Although I did purchased some other high end items for my daughter, I didn't feel the need to spend $100 more on a Peg Perego or other brand in this case when this car seat has such a high reputation in safety. That being said, the infant seat is SUPER heavy. While the weight does hurt my hand and back sometimes, I am not rating this product a less for that weight because after all the fact that it is so dense and heavy probably accounts for added safety. A seat that is lightweight and easy to carry is probably not going to hold up well in a car accident. So it's a matter of my daughter's safety v. my personal convenience.

This carseat is fantastic. Out infant will sleep for hours in it. Very comfortable and easy to use and operate. We also have the snuglider swing and the snugrider stoller. It's the best system out there...we can transfer our little girl from the car to the stoller and to the swing with ease.

I love Graco products and this car seat was no exception. (my older son has the Graco Nautilus car seat) I decided on this model because the colors are gender neutral, and it has things like strap covers and the boot included too. I love that the boot helps keep my son from kicking blankets off! This car seat seams to have more padding than some of the other car seats that I looked at, and my son stays happy and comfy even on longer trips in the car.

The Graco SnugRide is also one of the top safety rated infant car seats on Consumer Reports which is a huge plus!
