5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Car Seat- Love it!!! Top Choice, November 12, 2009

Before my daughter was born I did a lot of research before deciding on a car seat. This one really appealed to me based on other reviews and the top rated safety ratings. The neutral colors are great too, not too girly or boyish. When I received it as a shower gift I was immediately impressed. It is very light and the seat is so comfy feeling with lots of padding, removable head and body supports and high sides to protect my baby. The attached bunting is removable and was very nice especially with a newborn during the colder months. And the adjustable/removable cover is great in all weather; keeps the cold wind off, the sun out and the rain away. The base was easy to install in the car with the latch anchor system, and it is adjustable. We brought our baby girl home from the hospital in it and she fit perfect even though she was so tiny at 6.5lbs. The harness has removable comfort bands, the chest closure and each side of the harness attach separately into the crotch latch which is very nice and makes like so easy with a squirming infant. Even now at 7 months our baby girl fits perfectly and it is so easy to get her in and out of the car. I would also recommend the Graco stroller they make travel and just running everyday errands so easy; the car seat comes out of the car and clicks right into the stroller and off we go. Definitely recommend this car seat it is awesome!!

My husband and I decided to purchase a Graco infant car seat after the good experience we had with our firstborn's Graco travel system. We decided on the Snugride in Platinum because of its neutral tones and good reviews, and I liked the fact that it includes a foot muff for cooler weather. We wanted a color that would pair nicely with the Graco Snugrider stroller frame, and this works brilliantly. The photo makes the light color look almost silver though, when in fact the seat is black with a khaki/beige accent color. I expected that from other reviews I've read, and it's still neutral and sharp looking, so we don't mind. Once we received it, the seat was easy to install in our vehicle (Latch system) and the sun shade was really the only item needing assembly. (That took about five minutes.) The sun shade seems a teeny bit flimsy and the material of the foot muff seems likely to snag on Velcro or other rough materials, but so far we haven't had any problems with either. The material of the seat pad, head positioner and foot muff is extremely soft, which I appreciate for our tender little newborn. It was nice not having to spend the extra money on a car seat head positioner, this one works just fine for our compact little 7-pounder, and I'm pretty picky about his comfort. The 5-point harness, albeit super-safe, is a little cumbersome next to a baby body, but we've remedied that with soft strap covers and our baby doesn't seem to be bothered much by it, and snuggles right into his seat when we travel. I find the seat to be fairly light to carry, and have even lifted it without straining or hurting myself within a week of having a C-section. (Not recommended at all, but shows how light the seat is.) As expected, we're finding this seat to be extremely easy to use, comfortable for baby, well-constructed and attractive. There are a lot of trendy and pricey car seats on the market, but Graco is a trustworthy and reliable brand that offers a great product that we've been very happy with, for a fraction of the cost of other car seat manufacturers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good lightweight seat, January 1, 2011

This review is from: Graco Snugride Infant Car Seat, Platinum (Baby Product)

First, I want to say it's quite stupid of Graco to sell all the seats as one item here on Amazon. They are different not only in color but in design too. When you read a review better check what model you are reading about.

First, I bought Tango and it was not very nice with its independent backside-pulling belts. So I would probably give it 3 stars. I returned it for different reasons but after that I got Platinum. It has better design and lots of nice accessories. It's operated completely from the front and one belt is tightening both straps now.

PROs:
- Lightweight, easy to handle for my not very strong spouse;
- Nice sunshade with a little sunroof;
- Adjustable handle

CONs:
- The handle!! It's really hard to adjust. I struggle with it every time I need to change its position. You have to press 2 levers with both hands at the same time and they are not cooperating, to say the least. And it's LOUD. Clicking and squeaking when you try to adjust it. Don't want to wake up a sleeping baby? Better not try to move that handle.
