GRACO SnugFit 35 Elite Infant Car Seat Baby Car Seat with Anti Rebound Bar, Pierce

We were using an old Graco car seat and our newborn rode in the car with no problems. We ordered this seat and she would cry after about 10 minutes and would not stop. Every time we got her out of the seat her back and head would be drenched with sweat. We had the A/C blowing directly on her and she would still scream, until she was out of the seat. Her arms and legs would be ice cold and her back and head would be hot and sweaty. Even indoors in a comfortable temperature she would get overheated. There are warning stickers on the back of the seat that are not removable that I believe contribute to the problem. We have switched back to the old seat and she has had zero issues with overheating.

Soooo easy to get a tight install with the seat belt.

I always felt Graco is falling behind the Britax and Evenflo in the infant carseat department but SnugFit 35 Elite is a whole new game and here’s why.

Of course, Graco already has got me, their car seats really is tried and tested. This is different, it has an added feature called the anti-rebound bar which is and additional safety measure that really makes sense! I love it!

This car seat is exactly what you want for your newborn squish! It is so plush and has great built in wind protection. The car seat is extendable so it can be used comfortably until the age of 3 although that could be different depending on your child’s size and your personal preferences. I was a little hesitant to buy because of the price and not many reviews but this is exactly what I was looking for! Perfect for winter! And the extras come off easily so summer as well.

This is a beautiful, elegant seat. I never thought Id use that word for a carseat. Its well made, and very secure.

We tested several car seats and found that with all the changes they are making to the designs, Im actually having some trouble lifting these things. This one is very very sturdy, very strong, well built, secure, but I can still carry it. For a child growing older, with a seat that adjusts for an aging child, you can leave it in the car once they reach a certain age, but before that you want to be able to carry it and I found that this was still good for carrying, even though it is very secure and that brings a little added weight. I feel safe lifting it and working with it.

Great features, safe for newborns, easy to maneuver

I requested this car seat for my 5 month old. Hes always been in the 90 something percentile for height and fits this car seat great. The seat itself is very comfortable and plush, I particularly like the headrests that help keep his head propped up. The canopy is a little awkward to adjust at times. I love that to adjust the handle is so easy with just the push of one button at the top. The base was super easy to install in our Nissan Murano, and we only had to move the seat in front up just a hair more because of the anti-rebound bar. Weve also been able to strap it into the back seat of our Ford Ranger no problem with plenty of space for my husband to drive. Weve been able to click connect this car seat in our Graco Double stroller no problem. Weve only used the included cover once and it kept our little guy pretty toasty in the spring air.

It has a lot of padding for comfort and support. I like that you only need one hand to adjust the handle. I like that it has the all weather boot for keeping their legs and feet out of the elements. It has a nice quick release for taking it out of the car. It is lightweight for carrying. When the canopy comes down to the boot it covers the whole child. When you unzip the canopy it has mesh for airflow. I like how easy it is to buckle in and unbuckle the child. I think you would be very happy with this seat I know I am.
