Graco SnugRide SnugLock 35 DLX Infant Car Seat: Safe and Secure Baby Car Seat

Deseray: So my son is 4.5 months old now and we had to move him to a “big boy” car seat. I LOVE this car seat but between the car seat weight and my boys weight (16 pounds) it is way too much to lug around in and out of the car. He’s also only in the 5th percentile for height and was already at the second to last strap hole so as much as I loved this car seat I do wish I would have looked more into LIGHTWEIGHT car seats and high strap holes!

AJB: Just got this in the mail the other day. I didn't like it at first because the button to move the handle is really hard to push - hurts my thumb. Then I was upset because the handle doesn't move past the B position until you release and repush the button (so you can't have one smooth movement from position A (which you carry it in) and D (close to the floor). I understand now this is a safety feature (but it makes me wonder if the 2 button handle would have been better). I also don't like how loose the car seat is when you click it into the base. I wish it was a more snug fit.

But the fabric is great. It looks nice and I love the silent canopy. I plan to keep the car seat. I hope as we use it more, the button will get easier to push. Our baby isn't due util July, so I haven't installed it yet in the car nor have we been able to test it out.

Anj: Bought this months ago in a panic because I was getting ready to have my baby and STILL didn’t have a car seat for him! This seat is exactly as you’d imagine, he sits in there snug and it’s not terribly heavy unless my baby is in it, he’s probably pushing almost 16 pounds at 4 1/2 months old. As for maneuverability, it’s a baby seat so it’s probably as maneuverable as any other seat out there. You can, however, move the arm handle thing all the way to the bottom of the car seat (backwards) which I thought was pretty awesome. The cushions seem to be pretty comfortable, I wouldn’t know personally because I’m a little too big for the seat (lol). Only thing weird about the base you install is that it didn’t have any clips that tether the base to your car even though the instruction manual says they come with it. It’s still in there sturdy, just not as sturdy as I’d like. It gets the job done though and it came in black which is exactly what I wanted.

KriStall: The button for the handle is the main problem. You can't push it and get the handle back all the way. It goes to the middle, then you have to release and push again for all the way back. The button to tighten and release the straps is hidden--covered by the seat padding. The seat base also cannot be leveled in bucket seats.

Natalie Hall: Overall a great car seat that you can’t go wrong with. Easy to buckle my baby in and to adjust the straps as he grows. I love that it connects easily to bases in different cars and also our stroller so it’s easy to move around. And I know he’s safe when I hear the click.

The negatives that made me reduce the rating by a star: my baby tends to get a little warm in it. Granted we do live in SC and it’s just now starting to cool off so I’m sure it’ll improve, but his back is typically sweaty. My husband complains about the grip on the handle when carrying the baby in the seat. It doesn’t bother me much though, but he says there isn’t much to grip on to. We’ve discussed buying grip tape to put on there. The seat can sometimes be difficult to remove from the base. Even though I’m pressing the release button all the way in, it’s like it’s not catching so I have to try to press even harder.

Overall minor complaints. We’re still very happy with the seat!
