  • The seat is easy to get on and off the base but since this is my first grandchild, I had to watch a video to get it right. Times have changed! The straps are almost too short if the baby is bundled up Mar 12, 2024

  • This has been a great infant car seat for us. It connects easily to the car and has plenty of room for the baby. My daughter is still able to fit in it at 15m and we still have a little time left. May 28, 2023

  • Not the most comfy. Cannot be used for newborn without an insert. One pro is that it's fairly wide and so can be used for longer. Feb 09, 2023

  • My youngest sister had this growing up. It is very similar to newer products. I loved the ease of cleaning and the anti-grip on the handle. Apr 20, 2021

  • I had these with my twins, they were heavy and I didn’t feel they were safe as others. I wish I would have gone with a Maxi Cosi, Nuna, or Britax. Feb 14, 2021

  • Works great! It held up great for 2 of my kids. Jan 03, 2021

  • This is a good basic infant seat. No bells and whistles, but sturdy, safe and light. Dec 02, 2020

  • I wish I would have paid more for a Convertible carseat or went with a better infant seat for my older 3 kids. It is no cushioned. The straps always come loose. It's a cheap infant carseat. Aug 06, 2020

  • We have this in all black and baby loved it, even once the infant insert was removed. Easy to use, easy to install. No complaints. Aug 03, 2020

    This was our first carseat every and I have zero complaints. It's very basic and I liked how lightweight it was. Apr 28, 2020

    • Jodi D.

    • Lawrenceburg, Kentucky

    This car seat stays very tight and doesn’t move with my infant which eases my mind. Wish it was more roomy my son is chubby and I feel we will have to switch to a convertible seat soon. Apr 16, 2020

  • It’s hard to get it out of the base Feb 19, 2020

  • We loved the design and installation of this seat and base. The easy pop in option was simple enough that my husband was comfortable installing into the base. It provides us security and comfort. Jan 13, 2020

    • Amber S.

    • Thomasville, North Carolina

    This is my least favorite car seat. The head support is awkward and moves around. It doesn’t seem safe. The sun shade is so noisy to move. Oct 03, 2019

    • Amy T.

    • Greenbrier, Arkansas

    This car seat has held up great through three kids. I’ve been very happy with it, and it comes apart fairly easy for cleaning. The base can be a little difficult to get in and out, but overall, good. Sep 26, 2019

  • Light weight infant seat that clicks into place when using the base. Easy to clean & adjust placement of straps when baby grows. Wished they’d come up with better colors & designs though. Aug 26, 2019

  • I love how lightweight this car seat is when they are a newborn. But as it is a snugride 30 and not 35, it does not last as long. Maybe 8months? I’m last 2 have been on the smaller end. Aug 16, 2019

  • I loved this seat it worked awesome for my son, it’s light weight but also sturdy. I always felt like my son was safe which is most important. May 08, 2019

  • I didn’t like the handle and it’s a fairly heavy seat otherwise it seemed to be good, straps are easy to tighten, easy to transfer between vehicles Mar 29, 2019

    • Megan I.

    • Los Angeles, California

    Unfortunately my son hated this seat and we switched to a convertible seat at 3 months. He would scream every time we set him in it and seemed really uncomfortable. It was also uncomfortable to carry Mar 18, 2019

  • We ended up getting the Chicco keyfit instead bc the snugride felt so flimsy in comparison. It also lacked padding and the infant insert didn’t really so much for our LO. Pro: lightweight. Mar 18, 2019

  • Bought this car seat and stroller travel system for my youngest. Loved the pattern, loved the simplicity. The carseat wasn't too heavy and the canopy was good sized. Mar 09, 2019

  • This car seat is just ok. We have issues getting it to detach from the base at least a few times a week. Mar 06, 2019

  • My baby hates this car seat, she will yell and cry the entire time she’s seated. The seating material isn’t soft, more of plastic-like cloth. Seat has no cushion, it is just a cover over styrofoam Mar 01, 2019

  • This car seat has lasted thru 3 kids and in still really good condition. I’ve washed the fabric several times in the washing machine and it’s held up great! Feb 20, 2019

  • I love the click base. Makes a trip so much easier. Feb 03, 2019

  • No padding for my newborn and base was hard to install. Mother of four so I know how to install. Virtually no padding and was frankly dangerous. Baby's head kept falling forward and couldn't breathe Jan 07, 2019

    • Kim D.

    • United States of America

    Was given this as a gift because of the great safety ratings. Beware that it can ONLY be used with Classic Connect bases, NOT Click Connect. Jan 03, 2019

  • This was the carseat we went for when my son was born early and needed to pass a carseat test. No regret in getting this one. Its lightweight and he enjoys being in it. Jan 02, 2019

    • Mandy D.

    • Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania

    Invest money and get something with more padding. Infant insert has no support. Newborn hated this seat and moved to Graco 4Ever by 2 months- felt much safer in that than this carrier! Jun 20, 2018

  • Lightweight carrier and base. Small enough to fit in booths at restaurants or a quick car exchange. Jun 12, 2018

  • I loved the look of this carseat and the ease of use. I didn't like the way the fabric felt. I thought it should've been a lot softer for an infant. May 07, 2018

    Great price and connects to my stroller Apr 04, 2018

  • Very light. Great for the price. Very simple and easy. Hook latch is a little hard to take out. Feb 27, 2020

  • I thought this seat was okay. Light weight and easy to use. Lasted through three kiddos before expiring, major plus! Easy to install with the click to connect, nice to not have to remove the base. Aug 09, 2019

  • Have had this car seat in the past. It's a good car seat with good ratings. Cute colors, easy to wipe, and not a bad price. Would suggest for new babes. Oct 22, 2017

  • Had this for my first baby. At the time, Graco was my preferred brand. But then they had so many recalls on this seat and others. But it was really easy to install and use. A little heavy for me Oct 18, 2017

    • mount carmel, Pennsylvania

    lightweight and very safe Oct 18, 2017

    • Camp lejeune, North Carolina

    I loved this carseat ! I hope we are able to get thiis brand for our next baby since we already got rid of our old seat! Aug 25, 2017

  • Great compact and portable infant seat! and not too expensive compared to others out there. only downside is that the handle is a bit tough to carry comfortably Aug 08, 2017

  • got this for my baby shower, it worked great for the first 4months until my son grew out of it. Jul 28, 2017

  • Easy to use, affordable, and light - no bells and whistles but I was just looking for basic necessity - fits 4lb+ and which was great for my preemies May 18, 2017

    • Jenn K.

    • Colorado Springs , Colorado

    Great price. Easy to use and install. Easy to unlatch from base. Adaptors for strollers easy to find. A bit heavy and the arm gets a bit wide closer to the base of the carpets which isn't the best. Feb 28, 2017

  • Seems to fit our needs so far. Not as supportive for newborns so had to buy a body support to really secure her in. Feb 04, 2017

  • No complaints here except maybe adding more harness slots... Nov 24, 2016

  • LOVE the Dragonfly pattern! My middle and youngest have both been very comfortable in this seat. Would definitely recommend. Oct 05, 2016

  • I bought this seat to have whenever my daughter and I travelled to my home state to visit family... she was NOT happy or comfortable. Sep 09, 2016

    • Sheri C.

    • Litchfield, Connecticut

    Used this seat for both my kids. Very comfortable. Easy to use Feb 07, 2016

  • I like how straightforward this is. We're not in a car alot (taxi's mostly) and it is really easy to strap in. It's relatively easy to adjust the straps. Sep 30, 2014

  • We used this up until 6 months and then it started to get a little too snug. Jul 23, 2014
