 so far, so good! October 29, 2008

so far so good...only complaint is that it is a bit difficult to unsnap out of base and seat belt buckle can be a bit difficult too...but i guess that means it is all secure. great car seat overall!

Cute pattern, teal and gray and graphic. Easy to install, goes up to 30 lbs (hooray!), and has a super cool recline-adjusting knob *thingie* that allowed me to toss the pool noodle back to the, er, pool. Soft, washable, and affordable. I mean c'mon, who really needs a $250 infant seat anyway?
 Great seat, but make sure it fits in your car September 21, 2008

This is a great carseat, it's one of the top safety rated seats, and that's why I got it. The only problem with it is that it's very large. We drive a Subaru Forrester ('02) and the only place the seat would fit was in the middle of the backseat. Now most of you know this is where they recommend you put a car seat, so it worked out fine, but you'll want to make sure this will fit in your car before you purchase.
Love this seat! September 19, 2008

I have to say that this is a GREAT car seat! I have a 3 year old that we had spent extra $$ on buying her a Combi infant car seat in hopes of letting our future kids use it. And unfortunately when I took it down to wash for my son (while pregnant) the padding dissolved. So the search began for a new seat. I originally bought the Baby Trend and felt that it was cheap and too small (my son was 8+lbs on the ultrasound before delivery) so I took it back and found the SafeSeat. This seat is great because my rather large infant has time to grow into it (he is 16+ lbs and just turned 4 months) since the weight limit is around 30lbs instead of 23lbs, it is cute as can be, and he loves it. Only complaint is it is Heavy - but is that my son or the seat? :)
My daughter loves this car seat August 31, 2008

My daughter LOVES this car seat.
We had a Graco SnugRide when we had my first son and he loved it. My parents gave me a different SnugRide with a matching double stroller when we had my second son. He hated the car seat. He would cry from the second we put the car seat with him in it in the car to the second we took the car seat out. My M-I-L said it was because he didn't like riding backward. Sure enough when we switched him to the Britax when he was 20 lbs and a year old he was fine.
My daughter used the same SnugRide as my second son for her first 4 months. She did the same thing, she cried from the second I put her in the car to the second I took her out. I mean really crying. It was awful. We drove 5 hours for a summer vacation and we couldn't take it. Not even sitting next to her distracting her helped. My M-I-L said she was the same as my second son but this time I wasn't so sure.
I read all the reviews on Amazon for cheap car seats all the way to the super expensive ones. The SafeSeat had the best reviews so we went ahead and ordered it and had it shipped to our hotel 2nd day for only a few dollars extra.
Well she LOVES it. She is content to ride in it and sometimes even falls asleep in it. What a huge difference. Riding in the car is pleasant for everyone now :).
Maybe the second SnugRide was just uncomfortable. It didn't feel bad there was nothing poking her, but there must have been something, maybe the way she rested in it. Not sure. My poor second son.
Anyway, we love this car seat. The only thing we don't really like is the plastic window in the canopy that allows you to see the baby. I get why it is there but right now it is summer and the poor sun beats down on her little head, so we just cover it with a blanket. Problem solved.
So we love this car seat. It seems more roomy and we like the color. It doesn't get super hot when we leave it in the car since the padding and the straps are a silver color and not black like the last two Graco's we had. I highly recommend it.
