highly recommended

good product for a fair price

I bought this car seat for my 1st born son, but sadly he is just about to outgrow it (he's 7 months and already exceeds the length requirement, but he's also 95 percentile for height!), so I am now shopping for the next size up.

I initially chose it because it fits into the Bob stroller & the price was right, and b/c I liked the pattern/colors and fabric (although I originally almost didn't buy it b/c one reviewer stated that they thought the fabric was like burlap?! which is totally not truel!). It's been pretty easy to carry around w/ him in it (a friend talked me out f buying the 32lb version b/c it becomes back breaking to schlep around by the time the baby is 22lbs, so just imagine a 32lb kid in that seat? yikes!).

Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this product to a friend...in fact I'm passing it onto a friend b/c it's still got 4 yrs to expiry!

Good seat for the money

If you're looking for a car seat with a good quality/price ratio, this is it.
This is not the fanciest seat out there, but it is certainly one of the cheapest.
It is also just as safe as other seats. It is easy to use, and pretty light.
It is equiped with a gauge on the side that helps you position the seat at a safe angle for your baby.
There is one con though: This seat does not have a lot of padding, and the head support is too big/wide and won't hold a baby's head.
If you buy this seat I suggest you buy 'Snuzzler' from Kiddopotamus ($20). It is a crash tested, complete body & head support that will keep your baby snuggled up.

~*~My Preemie Twins fit just fine & were protected in a small wreck~*~

When I was pregnant it never even crossed my mind that my girls could be born to small to fit into their car seats but that didn't end up being a problem.

My girls were born 5lbs 1oz & 5lbs 13oz & had to stay in the hospital for a week(due to jaundice). Before we were able to leave we had to bring in their car seats so the hospital could do tests while my girls were in them. This is to make sure they can tolerate sitting in a car seat. Both girls passed all the tests and we were released the next day.

Both girls had lost weight after birth so my smallest was less than 5lbs when we left the hospital and the other was just over 5lbs. They looked so TINY in their seats. The girl who released us put them in their seats & tightened the seats which only took her a few minutes & they had to be adjusted quite a bit since my girls were so tiny. She put a couple of blankets around the girls bodies so they felt more secure. We got stopped by every nurse & person we passed on our way out, they put both girls in their seats on a wagon, everyone commented on the cute car seats too(we got the Betsey) The seats clicked easily into their bases.

***When my girls were less than a month old and both less than 6lbs we were stopped at a stop sign & a lady slammed right into the back of us, Hard, she didn't slow down at all(because she spilled her pop & leaned over to pick it up) The speed limit there was 35 but I'd guess she was doing about 20. They called EMS to check out our girls just because they were so tiny. EMS told us to call our Dr who said we should take them to Childrens Hospital just to get them checked out to be safe. So that is what we did. The cop checked and said the girls were securely in their seats just the way they were supposed to be(appearantly a lot of people have car seats installed wrong)

Anyhow, both my girls ended up being just fine. We didn't even know that once you are in a wreck, no matter how small, you can no longer use the seats. We gave the hospital ours to destroy and they gave us some new Evenflo Discoveries that Evenflo donates to give to people in our situation for free since we had no car seats to get our girls home.

The differences we noticed. The Evenflo seats were not a sturdy feeling as the Graco, the Evenflo was lighter but because they are not as sturdy & did not feel as safe. The Graco snap in and out of the bases easier. The Graco material & harness is better material, the Evenflo is cheaper & thinner. We did like the shape of the Evenflo handle better, made it easier to carry but the Graco was definately WAY better. We immediately ordered 2 more Graco Seats.

We have been very happy with our Graco Snugrides. I also will note that I am a real wimp but I could carry BOTH my girls at the same time even when they were getting ready to outgrow their seats...it wasn't that easy but I could do it. So if you are only carrying 1 baby, it should be easy enough. Besides, it isn't like you normally carry the car seat all over the place.
