Lightweight and easy to use!
February 29, 2020
This seat was shockingly lightweight. When I got the box I was surprised at how light the box was and that was an immediate pro to me. I usually don't like infant only seats because of how heavy and bulky they are, making it almost impossible to get in/out of the car and carry. This seat definitely doesn't have that issue and is easy to snap in and out of the base and much easier to carry than other seats I have used. Another issue I usually have with infant seats is rerouting the straps is normally a pain, but straps on this seat were super simple to reroute and adjust. The seat was very easy to install and the adjustable base made it much easier to install accurately. My favorite part (aside from how lightweight it is) is the canopy. It just slips over the handle and I was skeptical about how I would like that at first, but after using it that became one of my favorite features. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Infant car seat love
February 29, 2020
My family and I live on the third floor of our apartment complex. We have three children aged 3 and under. So when Stellar Product Testing Panel told me they were sending me a car seat that was light weight, naturally I shouted for joy and did a victory dance. When I opened the box first thing I noticed was how attractive the car seat is. It's almost all black, which I love, because it keeps it looking clean and I can use it for a boy or girl. When I picked it up I was in shock at how light it actually is! I doubted that it could be safe but then when I saw that it is ProtectPlus engineered and side impact tested I was reassured and relieved to know my baby would be extremely safe. And that is what is most important to me. It is a great plus that the car seat is so light and easy to get in and out of our car. The adjustable base also get me an extra reassurance that my baby was installed properly. It was easy to read and because of the recline adjustment it was easy to readjust as needed. But over all I'd say how light it is, with out compromising my babies safety, is by far my favorite feature.

Super light, lightning quick to get in/out of car!
February 29, 2020
I am a mom of two and have been using this car seat with my second child (an infant). The first thing I noticed (basically as soon as I removed it from the box) was how LIGHT it was. I had a C-section with my son so the lightness made it so much easier to lift and maneuver the car seat. We really love the Click Connect system and used it with our first child as well. Getting the car seat in the car is literally a SNAP and removing it is as easy as pushing a button. I really liked the adjustable base that came with the car seat because it was much easier to install and adjust the recline than the regular SnugRide 35 car seat base (used with my first child). The footprint of the base is also smaller so it takes up less room in my back seat. With two kids rear facing, this is so important for my car's rear seat real estate! My favorite feature of this car seat is how easy it is to adjust the tightness of the straps when putting my son in the seat. The strap is easy to pull to tighten the straps and they loosen just as easily and smoothly to remove him. The button can be a little tricky to find at first but once you know where it is, everything is seamless! My son is only a month old and I already had to adjust the shoulder straps to the next slot. This is really easy to do but you can't do it with your child in the seat. I realized my son had a growth spurt and had to take him out of the seat to adjust the shoulder straps. You have to basically flip the car seat over to detach the straps on the underside so you can feed them through the next slot. This wasn't enough of a hassle to reduce my rating, though, but my daughter's car seat allows us to adjust the shoulder straps while she is sitting in the seat. My only other complaint is I cannot remove the canopy. I never use it and it's always in my way. It is easy to just have the canopy down all the time, but I also removed it completely on our SnugRide 35 car seat but the SnugRide 35 Lite does not have this capability. Overall, I love this car seat and base more than the one we used with my daughter and it has made my post-C-section recovery so much easier! A huge thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat to review!

Reminds me of the old Snugride 22!
February 29, 2020
As the momma of 5, I have been around the car seat block a few times. While I have used many other infant "bucket" seats over the years, including a different brands more recent model in the past few weeks, and my favorite has always been the Graco Snugride 22. This model, the SnugRide(TM) 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat, reminds names of all of the things that I loved from that seat. Pros: Lightweight. You lug these seats in and out of cars, with an infant in them. Every pound matters! Simple to use. While there are not many bells and whistles, I was able to change the strap positions and install the base quickly, both with a seat belt install and a latch install, with ease. Affordable. This seat comes with a very affordable price point. When it comes to infant seats cost matters as I switch them to a convertible seat once they become too cumbersome to carry. Because of this, I am not concerned with a high weight or height rating. Easy to wipe fabric. The fabric reminds me of neoprene and is easy to wipe with a baby wipe. Cons: Lack of extras. If you are looking for straps that adjust without rethreading, no twist straps, or extra features for easier install this is not your seat. Overall I am so happy with this seat. It is perfect for the first few months of my babes life! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.

Average Car Seat
February 29, 2020
Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel I was able to use and review the Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat. This car seat came with easy instructions. It has a nice simple design. The seat is nice and roomy for infants up to the recommend size. The cover and insert on the seat is washable. All the buckles are easy to use and click in and out easily. Straps on the seat are easily adjusted to loosen and tighten. I love the infant insert it helps keep baby's head up without risk of suffocation and seems to be comfy! The car seat clicks in and out of the fantastic base with ease. There are some thing I don't like about this seat. I don't feel like this car seat is lighter than others I have used. The handle on this car seat is slick, there is no grip or finger spots to put your hand. I went out in the rain and the handle slipped in my hand so I put the handle on my arm and it was sliding on my coat. The canopy on this seat is very hard to pull back and forth. You have to use two hands to use it and when you get it to move it is very loud! It woke my baby up. I say this car seat is a good average seat. I can take it or leave it.

Great, basic car seat for everyday and travel.
February 29, 2020
Although I received the Snugride 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat for free through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, everything stated in this review is my own opinion. Overall, this is a great, safe (albeit basic) car seat. It's great for everyday use, the manual is easy to read, and I can even see myself traveling with it, too, because it really is light weight and pretty easy to install with the adjustable base. The fabric is good and cool. It's wintertime at the time of this review; however, I'm from an area with very mild winters and we have already seen some warmer days in the low 70s. The car seat has not made my baby sweaty and I can't see it making my baby sweaty as the temperatures continue to rise (this is huge for me because summer temps here are in the 90-100s degrees Fahrenheit!). The fabric is a little rough, but it wipes up and cleans easily. The fabric on the infant insert is different than the rest of the car seat and is actually softer and squishier. The infant insert would be great for tiny newborns! However, the insert is outgrown at 12lbs. My baby was born at 8lbs, so, at 2months old, my baby has just barely outgrown the infant insert. This isn't a big deal but might be if you have bigger newborns and want to get some use out of the infant insert. The infant insert has some great features that keeps it in place so that it won't shift under your baby or between buckling your baby in and out. The insert for the head has a strap that goes through the holes for the car seat straps. It then Velcro's in place so that it doesn't shift around. This car seat does NOT have a no-rethread harness. This means that as baby grows, you have to manually adjust the straps to the correct height. This isn't too difficult, but you do have to remember to make some extra adjustments to the straps in the back once baby outgrows the first two height levels (there are four total). I, personally, am okay with this feature because it helps me ensure a better fit when my baby is small, but if you think it'll hinder you in getting baby properly secured, you might want to find a car seat with a no-rethread harness system. Tightening the harness straps on this car seat are easy and I'm confident I have a tight and secure fit each time. The chest clip is sturdy and does not stick. It also has an easy-to-read reminder on chest clip to remind caregivers the proper positioning for the chest clip. We have grandparents babysit all the time and I always appreciate these gentle reminders for those that don't use car seats on a daily basis. The base this car seat comes with is so nice! I love the adjustable feature. It has four levels and these really help; I haven't had to use a towel to install the carseat! This base will definitely come in handy when traveling and using different cars. I've been that person searching for a towel at the airport because the car seat needed one in that particular car. In some cases, a rolled towel may still be necessary but the adjustable base makes it a lot less likely I think. My biggest nuance with this car seat is the canopy. It's loud. It needs two hands to move. It's difficult to position. It resists movement. And, most importantly, it will not come in front of baby. So, if the sun is shining directly into baby's eyes, the canopy will do absolutely nothing to block the sun. The canopy will only block sunlight if the sun is shining in from behind baby. This just defeats the purpose of a canopy to me. Finally, is this car seat actually light weight? Yes! This feature is so nice, too! I have a toddler so baby usually needs to stay in the car seat while I help my toddler in and out of her own carseat. I usually get baby out of the car first and hold baby in the car seat while unbuckling my toddler. A light weight infant seat makes this juggling so much easier so that I can keep both of my little ones safe around cars! In Summary: 1. Manual is easy to read. 2. Fabric is cool, easy to clean, although a little rough. 3. Infant insert is soft and squishy, but outgrown at 12 pounds. 4. This is NOT a no-retread car seat. You will have to rethread the harness straps manually. 5. Harness straps move smoothly as does chest buckle. 6. The adjustable base makes installs easier. It'll be a great base to use while traveling. However, the latch it comes with is basic and a little tricky to use. 7. The canopy on this car seat is loud and doesn't really do it's job of blocking the sun from baby's eyes. Hate the canopy. 8. The car seat is light weight! Love it! 9. Overall: good, basic seat.

LOVE LOVE my Graco SnugRide
February 28, 2020
Just for starters I'd like to say thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat!! It is a huge improvement from my previous! I was immediately impressed with how light the car seat was even when still attached to the base. With all four of my kids I have DREADED the infant car seat stage because of how awkward and heavy the car seats are, even without a baby in them. Absolutely NOT the case with this Graco SnugRide! The handle fits comfortably in the crease of my arm and the car seat is light enough that even with the baby inside It isn't fatiguing to carry! Installation was very straight forward with easy to use anchors on the base and a convenient level bubble (my previous car seat base did not have this feature, so very much appreciated!). Another feature I think my little one appreciates is the insert! He fits nice a snug but the insert isn't so bulky that it squishes him or makes him hot. My only suggestion would be to add a strap cover. I always worry about the straps digging into baby's neck. Not necessarily a take away, just a personal preference! Great job Graco! I will be looking into a travel system to go with the car seat after having such ease of use!

Simple, convenient & adaptable!
February 28, 2020
I received the Snugride 35 Lite LX infant car seat through Stellar Reviews testing panel. As a mother of two, I'm always looking for a simple, convenient product and this car seat did just that. This car seat is sleek and well designed so that it is not bulky in the car and is light when carrying. I felt that the handle was thin so it didn't feel too awkward when holding the car seat on my arm. The adjustable base that comes with the car seat was so simple to install in my husbands sedan and my SUV, I like that the car seat just clicks right in and you don't need to mess with anything on it. The only negative I can find in this product is that the fabric isn't very soft or comfortable in my opinion. It does make it convenient for spot cleaning, but I wish the fabric was a little higher quality. Also, it is easy to attach to any graco one click connect stroller.

A Great Lite Option
February 27, 2020
I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and was so excited to try out a new infant carrier for my second child (6 weeks at time of writing). The main feature of this seat is the weight. What it lacks in bells and whistles, it makes up for it all In this category. It probably weighs a full 2-3 lbs less than my other infant carrier, and that alone is a huge perk. After adjusting the straps in the back (note: child can not be in the seat when you do this-my only complaint), my newborn fits great. There is no bulky, large headrest on either side of her head, and she can still shift her head around safely and comfortably when buckled. It came out of the box ready to use, and after installing the base I was ready to go. Lifting it in and out of my SUV is much easier, and the click connect is so simple. I always know I have it in correctly when I hear the 3 clicks.

Not worth it
February 6, 2020
I received the SnugRide® 35 Lite Infant Car Seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The first thing I noticed, before even opening up the box, was how light it was. I was initially excited about this, but quickly realized that the rest of the seat was lacking. The seat itself was fine. I had to adjust the shoulder strap height to fit my baby and the instructions were clear on how to do that. When I got my baby buckled in, I noticed that the strap to tighten everything was very hard to pull. There was a lot of resistance and I had to pull quite hard to get it secure. This might be just be due to the fact that it is brand new. Installing the base in my car was impossible. Two adults with a fair amount of muscle were unable to secure the base. Even after all the slack was taken out of the belt, the base was still moving much more than an inch at the belt path. This happened with both the LATCH and the car seat belt. It takes me less than a minute to install the base of my other infant car seat so, I don't know what the issue is with this one. Overall, I was not impressed with this car seat and wouldn't recommend it.

Great Features
February 5, 2020
I received this carseat thru Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am so happy I did. The ease of installing and light weight of the seat is so comforting. I also noticed my baby didn't get too hot in this seat. I had a prior seat that my aon would sweat anytime he was in it. It holds up to 35lbs and can stay in the backwards position because of the awesome reclining feature on it, which helps so much!

Good Car Seat
February 5, 2020
It's a good car seat, I like the option for the adjustable base. We didnt have to use it because of our seat shape but when we had to use another car it was helpful. We have an older car without latches, only seatbelts, which made the installation very difficult. When we used the latches it was nice and easy. The canopy isnt smooth going up or down and is also a little loud. It was easy to take off the base and take the seat into the house and it doesnt take up a lot of space with the way the handle goes back. I also like the shape of the handle, more square than half circle like an old seat I had which makes it a lot easier to carry. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.

Very lightweight and easy to install
February 3, 2020
I?m a mom of two little ones (2 years old and 5 months) so time is crucial. I love the ease of the Graco SnugRide 35 infant car seat?s quick click technology. This feature has been a lifesaver while I?m rushing around and carrying bags, my two year old, and my infant all while opening and closing the doors and going from place to place. Knowing that the only thing I need to do is hear the ?click? and the car seat is installed safely gives me peace of mind and saves me from having to use an extra arm that I don?t have. I?was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The Graco SnugRide 35 Lite infant car seat itself was easy to install with clear directions and an adjustable base which allowed me the ease installing safely and trusting the accuracy of safety installation. As a mom of two little ones I appreciate how seamless and light this car seat is. The car seat has 6 different height/recline positions so I can still use it as my baby grows! I wish I had known about this car seat when my first born was an infant.

Very Easy to use
February 3, 2020
I received the Graco SnugRide 35 lite infant car seat from Stellar Product Testing Panel. It was very easy to install the base into my car. It was Definitely the lightest car seat I've ever used. My 5month old is a little chunky monkey and I'm so happy that the weight of the seat is so light that it was not heavy at all to carry around. The base is so easy to take in and out of the car. I felt so comfortable and I knew my baby was safe from the time I installed this into my car. The straps are adjustable which is awesome so it can grow with my baby. The cushion looks very comfortable. Also what I give an A Plus to is the clip for the chest tells you exactly where and how to place it. Good Job Graco. This is one product that I would rate 100% and would definitely recommend this to all the moms I know. I feel blessed to have been able to try this for my baby. Thank you so much.

Easy to Carry and Install
February 3, 2020
The SnugRide 35 Lite infant car seat is extremely easy to use and install. I love the Graco click connect system because it allows me to install a base in each car and the seat installs very simply on top by just clicking the seat into the base. You can move from car to car by just pushing a button rather than having to install it on the latch system each and every time. the click connect system is also compatible with our stroller so you don't have to wake up baby and remove them from the car seat when going from car to stroller. This car seat is also light and easy to carry. I would highly recommend. I received this car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel for free, but have purchased Graco car seats and strollers in the past and will again in the future

Lightweight, sturdy seat!

I received this infant car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have really liked it. The base was easy to install and the car seat was simple to figure out and adjust the straps to fit our little guy. I loved how lightweight the car seat is, but still very sturdy.

Overall great "no frills" car seat
February 2, 2020
I was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, I think it is a great choice for a car seat. It's lightweight and easy to carry for quick trips to and from the car. It was easy to get in and out of the car and the four carrying handle positions made it easy to have an unobstructed view of my baby while it was in the car. I really liked that the carrier can be rocked while sitting on the floor to keep my baby calm when out and about. The car seat can also be installed without the base, which is great when traveling or needing to go somewhere in a friend's car. A few things did make it seem to be a "no frills" car seat, though they weren't dealbreakers. There is no bubble level on the base for installation, just a red line that was supposed to be parallel to the ground. This made it less foolproof to ensure we were installing it correctly. In addition, the incline positions are nice, though it leaves you with only a few set angles-no in between. The hooks for the car anchors were a bit difficult to remove-I prefer quick button releases, but if you aren't taking the base out often, it's ok. I found it a little difficult to tighten the straps in the carrier and I wish there was more padding around my baby (for example, there was no padding on sides of infant's neck).

Light as a feather!
February 1, 2020
Safety and comfort are most likely the two biggest features every parent searches for when they are looking for a car seat. You either have a child who loves car rides or hates them, my case being the latter. Installing the SnugRide 35 Lite Infant Car Seat was very easy, the base is adjustable and the carrier just clicks in. However the biggest perk of this car seat is that it is so light! With a growing baby that keeps getting heavier the last thing you want are bulky heavy items to drag along with you. Some cons are that the canopy does not open and close easily and the car seat quality overall seems a bit on the lower spectrum. However that being said my baby hates car rides and always cries in our car seat but when we put her in this one she instantly relaxed and actually fell asleep on the drive instead of screaming the whole time! Thank you to Stellar Testing Panel for having me review this and now using this as my primary car seat!!

Love this product!
February 1, 2020
Thank you stellar product testing panel for sending me the Snugride 35 Lite Infant Car Seat to try and review. Let me start by saying I LOVE IT! It is definitely lighter than a previous model we have been using. My favorite feature is the car seat base. It's adjustable so it can be installed in any vehicle seat and it took me all of 3 minutes to install. I'm not even kidding. I timed it. The car seat itself appears to be extremely comfortable for my infant. He pretty much falls asleep in it before we even get the car started. It's easy to carry, roomy yet snug, and secure to ensure his safety. It's super easy to get in and out of the car. We are really enjoying this product!

Light and quick to clean!
February 1, 2020
When this car seat was delivered from Stellar Product Testing Panel, I could not believe how light it was even before unpacking from the box! The carrier itself is WAY lighter than the one I had with my first baby, and since my second baby is big and in the 95% for weight, it makes a difference to have a lighter carrier with such an already heavy baby. Install was easy and quick, which will make it easy to swap cars when Grandma babysits. Besides the light weight, I think my favorite part is how easy the fabric padding comes out to wash. It literally took me about 5 seconds and I had it unattached from the carrier and ready to wash. If you've ever had a baby blowout their diaper in a car seat, you know how important this is! Nit-picking, I wish the carrier handle had some sort of rubberized or padded grip, and the sun canopy was a little easier to adjust, but those are small inconveniences. Overall, I'm very happy with this carrier carseat!

Lightest Car Seat Ever!
February 1, 2020
Wow! They weren't kidding when they named this a "Lite" car seat! It is super lightweight which is so amazing for carting around my twins!! The entire box it came in, car seat, and base, were nearly lighter than our first car seat! It was simple to begin using because the base was easy to install with the built in level and adjustable feature. Bonus- it also easily clicked into our Graco stroller so it took only a few minutes to be ready to go! I received this car seat to test as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review, and I will say I I wondered about the comfort of the cover's material as it reminded me of a wind breaker material, but my daughter was instantly comfortable. Also in being so lightweight you can see less padding, especially around the head. I moved the car seat around with my daughter in it to see if she would move around more, but she didn't! I know that Graco follows all safety standards so I was not worried, and know it was just an appearance of less padding. A few other things I noticed while using: the canopy does not move very smoothly; and the release button for the straps wasn't in plain sight, but once I found it, it was actually very easy to release! Finally, I would love this car seat even more if there was just one button to adjust the handle, instead of one on each side (must use two hands). Overall, the lightweight design makes this car seat so much easier on me carrying my babies and getting them in and out of the car, and I would definitely recommend!!

Snug, chic, and safe!
January 31, 2020
The Graco Snugride 35 Lite is definitely one of the lightest infant car seats one can have! My growing 6 month old is heavy but luckily this seat doesn't add to the load when getting in and out the car. It was extremely easy to install and there are directions all over the seat that help if you aren't aware of proper installation. I LOVE that on the chest clip it states "place chest clip at armpit level." To me this is huge! So many people are unaware of proper placement of that part for an infant; great job Graco! The Latch base was easy and fast to put in or take out if needing to swap cars. The click connect system is a plus because its click and you're done! Simple as that. Also, if you need to buy another base or have a stroller already, like myself, you can easily connect this seat no problems. The padding is comfortable and can easily be removed to clean or adjust straps to grow with baby. Its full-bodied and supports baby with a snug fit. The cons: I am always on the go with my 8 year old and it isn't very one-handed friendly. The handle can only be moved if you press on both sides, also you can't pull the cover up or down without two hands ether. The cover also makes really loud noise when trying to move it. That is just something to think about when baby is napping soundly. One last thing I wish was different is that the handle doesn't come out very far so when hanging a toy above baby's head it is literally over her head or in her face. Because Graco goes above and beyond for their safety features and comfort along with prices for everyday moms I would recommend it to a new mom. The cons aren't dealbreakers. Thankyou to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the opportunity to test this infant car seat to recommend to new moms!

Great for a baby on the go!
January 31, 2020
The SnugRide? 35 Lite Infant Car Seat was a great carseat system! After receiving the SnugRide as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, we used it for my 4 month old daughter. Our previous system was heavy, and only getting heavier. Add on the diaper bag, a grocery bag or two (because who takes trips?!), and a two year old, and it becomes too much to handle. With the lighter weight car seat, it is slightly easier to handle! Easy to install, easy to get in and out of the car, and fits well in a medium sized car, next to a larger seat.

All About That Base
January 31, 2020
I recieved this carseat for free as part of the Stellar Parent Review Panel. When it arrived, I realized it was the "lite" version of the one I already have. Let me tell you, I love this carseat. It's well made, and changing the shoulder heights is super simple. I do think the lite version feels a little cheaper than my existing one from a fabric perspective, but it's so much lighter I don't mind at all. Really though, it's all about that base. The Graco Click Connect system is wonderful. Instead of buying a bunch of carseats, we bought 1 carseat and a couple bases. The seat even clicks into a stroller. We previously just had the standard base, but this seat came with one with a really simple, one-touch recline base. Man, do I wish I had that when my baby was a newborn! It would have made the drive home from the hospital and the early doctor appointments so much less stressful! All in all, i would definitely recommend this carseat.

Light Weight but Not in Love
January 31, 2020
This seat was lighter and more compact than my Graco Snugride 35 which made it easier to carry and fit in booths at restaurants. However, my 5 month old who is average height and weight seems really big in this car seat. I worry he will outgrow this seat too fast. The material of the seat padding is scratchy and canopy is difficult to move. I received this car seat from Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Light and easy to use!
January 31, 2020
I received this Graco SnugRide® 35 Lite Infant Car Seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It was very easy to install the base into my vehicle using the Latch system. The base was very sturdy and felt very secure after installation. I have an older model Graco car seat and this one was much lighter even though it felt more secure and safer! I was able to get it out of my vehicle, a big truck, very easily with the Click Lock technology. Carrying the car seat, even with my 13 lb 4 month old was very easy and felt much lighter than my previous car seat! The adjustable base with the button was very easy to use and figure out in my vehicle as well. It helped ensure that the base was installed correctly and that it could be customized for any vehicle. The think that I loved most about this car seat was that it was lighter than most, which is important if you are carrying it all day while watching a 3 year old too!

Canopy issues
January 30, 2020
Not a fan of the canopy. This car seat works well enough and is very light weight which is nice. However, the canopy is kind of flimsy and hard to maneuver. It is hard to move up and down- only if the handle is in the lowered position it moves fairly easily and quietly- but you have to use both hands on either side of the canopy. If you have one hand trying to lift or lower in the middle of the canopy, it will just get all crooked and out of shape, or not really move at all. Also if the handle is up it is barely moveable and makes a lot of noise. I suppose I can live with this but it's still worth pointing out.

Great Lightweight Infant Seat
January 30, 2020
We received this infant seat as part of the Stellar Review Testing Panel and were glad to try it out. Our babe is 6 months old and about 18 pounds, so her usual infant seat is starting to get pretty heavy. This seat is so lightweight, I felt like I could carry her around shopping and not have to worry about my arm getting tired. However, I do wish that the handle was a little larger to make it more comfortable to carry. She's also about 27" long and almost too long for the seat. Installing the base was pretty easy; we used the straps and attached to the mounts in our backseat. The release on the back of the seat is easy to find, so removing the seat from the base is a breeze. It also clicks when you put it back in the base so you know it's secure. I loved that there's a place to put the buckles when I put babe into the seat so I don't trap the harness under her bum; it always makes her mad when I have to go searching for the belt. The belts are easy to adjust, too, for the perfect fit!

Not fancy but compatible with click connect system
January 30, 2020
The SnugRide® 35 Lite Infant Car Seat was easy to install and I love that it's compatible with my click connect strollers! The seat goes in and out of the base effortlessly and it is on the lighter side which makes it easier to carry. The biggest downfall is that the canopy was very hard and loud to adjust. Also, the extra (removable) body support/head rest padding that is in the seat is very firm and my child's head fell forward. In my opinion it wouldn't be good for a newborn because of this. I received this infant car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

so light!
January 29, 2020
oh my goodness, this car seat wins for its weight alone! it's SO much lighter than our other car seat! installation was really simple. It's also easy to pop baby in and out. the adjustable base keeps the car seat at the appropriate angle.i just have two complaints - first of all, the shade/rain cover isn't easy to slide open/closed one handed and if you have two hands it's pretty loud. Loud enough to wake my sleeping baby. Also, the adjustable base lever feels just like the latch to take the car seat off the base and i kept mixing them up. neither of those are deals breakers for us. we are really happy with the car seat overall. We received this product in exchange for our honest opinion as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Easy install & light weight
January 29, 2020
We love Graco! This infant seat has been the easiest to install by far thanks to the base. It has 4 different levels and it's super easy to change. The seat clicks in and releases with one hand. It has a nice cushion/support inside to help keep my son comfortable and safe. It was really easy to adjust the straps to accommodate my sons height. The shade provided on this seat is great and helps keep the sun out of my sons eyes. I can easily carry this seat with one hand. Since I have a toddler also this is very convenient and helpful. It also clicks into my current Graco stroller! Thank you to stellar product testing panel for providing us with this infant car seat

Light but uncomfy
January 29, 2020
I was given this wonderful carseat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall this carseat is great. I was pleasantly surprised to feel just how light it was. Sure, that changes when you put a 16 pound baby in it, but it was still noticeably lighter than the other carseat we use currently. The carseat base is extremely easy to install with the two straps that attach to the bars in your backseat or simply with the seatbelt. I LOVE how easily the carseat snaps right into the base with a loud click to ensure you have done it correctly. I did notice that this carseat is much easier to take out of its base than other ones I have tried before. Just like it clicks into the base with ease, it also does this with the Graco strollers as well. Things I noticed that I wasn't particularly fond of were the lack of shoulder/neck pads that protect your baby's neck from the seatbelt itself. The cushion behind baby's back is flimsy and not very padded. This doesn't look or feel extremely comfortable. Unfortunately the canopy doesn't come down very far, so its hard to block the sun from my baby's eyes when we are out and about or even in the car. I am not sure if I would have purchased this item had it not been sent to me, but I do appreciate how light it is!

Easy to install!
January 29, 2020
This car seat is so easy to install! The adjustable part made it convenient when installing, and the latch system was a no brainer. Installed in my car in just a few minutes which is a huge plus for me, I have 3 kids under the age of 8 so time is limited and often rushed. The car seat itself is super light which I love, makes it easy to take in and out of the car. Overall I don't have any complaints about this car seat. It's well made and I feel confident that my baby is safe in it.

Awesome new features!
January 29, 2020
I'm going to start this off by saying that I'm a mom of 2. I have a 2 year old son & a 3 month old daughter. For me, the most important things are safety & convenience. Moms with toddlers can agree. For the most part, it seems similar with most infant car seats with a few IMPORTANT exceptions. The most important to me was it being lightweight & easier to carry than my daughter's previous car seat, which was also Graco. I'm 5'3" and this makes a big difference to me! The head support was different,, it had way more cushion behind her head and her shoulders. Lastly, it has a reclinable base, which is sooo important to me because her last car seat would sometimes wake her up because she would be sitting semi-upright in the car. I didn't have that option with the last car seat we had, and with the slight slant in our car's seats, we were unable to effectively have it parallel with the ground. It was super easy to install in the car and also quick to click the car seat in & out. My daughter seems to love it as well. All thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel, for giving me this awesome new car seat & making me love Graco products more than I already did!

Great Product, Easy to Use!
January 29, 2020
I had the older version of this car seat for my first daughter and was thrilled to receive this one to try with my 7 month old. The car seat did not disappoint. It was easy to install into my car, the straps were easily adjustable, and it had a really sleek look and design. I also loved how light weight this car seat was which made it really easy to take in and out of the car, and carry to and from different places. One thing I think they could improve is the smoothness of the canopy. It was kind of difficult to move up and down. I also wish the handle was a little more comfortable to carry. Overall, I loved this car seat and would highly recommend it for the price. I received this product to test as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Lives up to the bame!
January 29, 2020
When I received the SnugRide 35 Lite Infant Car Seat from Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was super excited. I already have a rapidly growing toddler, so the idea of being able to comfortably carry a car seat holding my infant while chasing her sister was extremely appealing. My first impression of the car seat was that it has a very sleek look. I pulled it out of the box not really noticing that it was lighter than my other infant car seat. It wasn't until I strapped my baby in that I could really feel a difference. I was able to comfortably hold it on my hip, and even get it out of the car using a single hand vs the two required for the other car seat. My husband typically handles the car seat installations, however he was not home when I received the product. Anxious to try it out, I installed it myself. SO EASY. I literally laughed out loud because it was so simple. The instructions are so easy-to-read/understand. Extremely user friendly. I would 100% recommend this car seat to any mama with multiple children!
