(More customer reviews)I've been using this infant carrier for my daughter for only 7 weeks, but so far I am impressed with the car seat. First of all, I did a lot of research and was impressed by the high safety ratings this car seat earns.Although I did purchased some other high end items for my daughter, I didn't feel the need to spend $100 more on a Peg Perego or other brand in this case when this car seat has such a high reputation in safety.That being said, the infant seat is SUPER heavy.While the weight does hurt my hand and back sometimes, I am not rating this product a less for that weight because after all the fact that it is so dense and heavy probably accounts for added safety.A seat that is lightweight and easy to carry is probably not going to hold up well in a car accident.So it's a matter of my daughter's safety v. my personal convenience.I would recommend purchasing a stroller that is compatible with this car seat or a good sling baby carrier and using that method to transport baby in/out of car because it is really heavy to carry around.I personally opted to buy a non-Graco stroller and planned on using the baby sling, but truthfully at this eary stage, you are really hesistant to wake a sleeping infant so I do end up carting it around more than I would like.
Finally, I read many reviews about the snug ride and wanted it in a neutral color.I considered getting the Metropolitan and the Lotus and ultimately decided on the platinum.After some negative reviews, I was concerned about the breathability of the fabric causing the baby to sweat especially since I live in South Florida.This fabric has been fine and the baby has never been sweating even in 89 degree weather.Also, the color is nice - it's like a gray-beige and very neutral.

Product Description:
From the moment you bring your new baby home from the hospital, you want to be sure that she'll be as safe as possible. Laws now require that babies from birth to age one be seated in a rear-facing car seat. The Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat offers a cost-effective, versatile, and safe choice. This rear-facing infant car seat doubles as an infant carrier and is designed for babies from 5 to 22 pounds in weight, up to 29 inches in height.
The Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat offers:
Convenient, rear-facing car seat doubles as infant carrier
Easily snaps in and out of car with included car seat base
Compatible with many Graco strollers for easy "snap and go" convenience
With EPS energy-absorbing foam, the SnugRide provides extra protection for baby. View larger. Built For Convenience
The SnugRide comes with a stay-in-car base, allowing the car seat to be quickly, conveniently installed and removed to double as an easy-to-use infant carrier. The stay-in-car base can be easily, securely installed using the car's seat belt or, if you have a newer-model vehicle, the LATCH system.
An easy-to-read level indicator helps make sure that the seat is installed correctly. Once the base is installed, simply snap the car seat into the base, and remove it with the push of a button to use it as a carrier. A sturdy, ergonomic handle makes it easy and safe to carry the carrier on your arm, and it makes transporting your fragile newborn and sleeping older infants all the easier. The SnugRide is also compatible with many Graco strollers; simply snap the seat out of your vehicle, into your stroller, and go.
Designed for Safety
With the SnugRide, you can be sure that your baby is riding in safe, protected comfort. The five-point harness, equipped with soft harness covers for extra comfort, keeps her secure, as does the specially designed, removable infant head and neck support, which is built in compatibility with the seat's safety design. EPS energy-absorbing foam adds extra protection, and a 180-degree adjustable canopy shields baby from sun and glare. Parents will especially appreciate that the removable seat cushion is machine washable.
