GRACO SnugFit 35 Elite Infant Car Seat Baby Car Seat with Anti Rebound Bar, Pierce

Got this car seat for my baby boy due in 2 months! I love how soft the fabric is in the car seat and it felt pretty light when I picked it up. Also love that it’s all adjustable so easily! Super happy I went with this one!

We tested several car seats and found that with all the changes they are making to the designs, Im actually having some trouble lifting these things. This one is very very sturdy, very strong, well built, secure, but I can still carry it. For a child growing older, with a seat that adjusts for an aging child, you can leave it in the car once they reach a certain age, but before that you want to be able to carry it and I found that this was still good for carrying, even though it is very secure and that brings a little added weight. I feel safe lifting it and working with it.

I always felt Graco is falling behind the Britax and Evenflo in the infant carseat department but SnugFit 35 Elite is a whole new game and here’s why.

I hoped I was making a good choice when I chose this car seat and I think I did! The adjustment feature in this is awesome. Just slide is up to loosen it, the I push it back down and pull the belt in the front to tighten back up. I don’t know if that’s the “right way” but I find it super easy. Since my baby was 6lbs when we left the hospital I did put in a little head rest to secure her head even more, the one built in is super nice but for real small babies you probably will still want that. She’s 6 weeks now and we took it out. I love that the canopy/hood thing (what is that called! lol) comes down so far, keeps the Sun off her when we’re driving. I do love the single button at the top, although I do wish I didn’t have to let it click in at every position, I wish i could just hold down the button and move it quicker but oh well. Also the quick click feature is good too.. love hearing it click in lol and it works good with my graco jogging stroller

Graco made it easy to install this seat by providing us with a several different ways to install it AND a guides on the seat itself so you cannot make a mistake. Seat has illustrated stickers making it a breeze. You can install this carseat with the base or without the base which is helpful if you’re taking Uber ride for instance. You can fold your stroller and put it in the trunk and secure carseat without the base on the back seat. At the end of the ride, you’ll just pop the carseat on the stroller, no big bulky base to haul around.

SO many safety features in this car seat! I love that so much. This has to be one of the most luxurious car seats for infants that Ive ever seen. Its got it all - super soft padding, all-weather boot, easy to adjust settings, and awesome easy install snuglock technology. You can drive with peace of mind knowing your baby is riding safe and comfortable!

Is it heavy? Yes, but thats not too much of a problem, since I dont carry it around a lot.

This is for 4 to 35 lbs rear facing. We found this to be deluxe padding. It is so snug and contours to our babys little form. It is like to 3 plush pillow...back and both sides.

It has a lot of padding for comfort and support. I like that you only need one hand to adjust the handle. I like that it has the all weather boot for keeping their legs and feet out of the elements. It has a nice quick release for taking it out of the car. It is lightweight for carrying. When the canopy comes down to the boot it covers the whole child. When you unzip the canopy it has mesh for airflow. I like how easy it is to buckle in and unbuckle the child. I think you would be very happy with this seat I know I am.
