I recently was blessed with my second daughter and because they are so far apart in age, my husband and I had to go out and purchase all new baby stuff all over again. What attracted me to the Graco SnugRide 22 Infant Car Seat is its appealing design. Upon seeing this seat, I thought it was the perfect cradling shape for baby. Installing this car seat wasn't the easiest for us. Even with the latch system, I found that seat still slid a slight degree. Now that my daughter is here, we use this car seat on a daily basis. My daughter actually hates riding in the car, but I won't blame the seat for that. What I do like about the car seat is that it is the perfect shape for our daughter and does cradle her well. The straps are extremely easy to adjust and don't get twisted often. I am not sure that I like how upright she is when riding in the car and I have also found that the car seat doesn't latch to every type of shopping cart. The last thing about this car seat that I noticed s that the included base doesn't provide a smooth detachment from the car seat, where as the extra base I purchased for our second vehicle, does. Over all, a good car seat for the price.

We got this car seat from my mother-in-law for our daughter, before she was born. The weight range on it is 5-22lbs, which was pretty much perfect. By the time she was 22lbs, her legs were long enough that she needed a bigger carseat anyway. The seat has 3 levels of incline, so it can be adjusted for comfort. It does not use the latch system, which is fine because it should always be rear-facing. Design It's easy to get the carseat in and out of the base, so baby can be carried to and from the car without being disturbed (this is especially great if he or she is asleep after a car ride). Safety Thankfully, we never really needed to test out the safety of the seat, but the 5-point harness and high sides seem like they would offer adequate protection in case of an accident. Child Comfort Our daughter was not happy riding in cars at this stage, so it's hard to tell how comfortable she was in the seat. The edges of the straps did leave red marks on her neck sometimes, but otherwise, she seemed fairly comfortable in it.

I loved my Graco Snug Ride car seat. It's so versatile, durable, comfortable & nice. I love how all of Graco's products work with each other. The fact that I could use my sister's graco car seat base (that was in her car) to put my son's car seat into it, is wonderful. Or that fact that my car seat fit into/on any graco stroller. Makes buying additional items easy knowing they will fit with each other. Graco brand is so well known and a brand that I can trust. Helps me with making those tough decisions on what to purchase. This car seat is so comfortable for my kids. They never seem to care about being in the car seat for long periods of time, which is a huge plus! I like that the material of the car seat cover is so easy to clean up. It seems to wipe clean fairly easy with a baby wipe! LOL. The straps are simple to tighten and loosen, (Something that can be rather frustrating with other brands.). I love how the price on these car seats are very fair. You get a GREAT car seat for a decent price.

I had this car seat and the double stroller when my son was born. I loved everything about this car seat. I was easy to install, it locked and unlocked from the base with ease. I fell in love with the design as soon as I seen it. My son was very large so he wasn't able to use this car seat longer than 5 months. I was pretty bummed because it is seriously one amazing car seat. Design Everywhere I went I had nothing but compliments on the color and cute little designs. It is very simple to clean, I would just wipe off with a wash cloth and let it air dry. The best part of the design is that it would be great for a boy or a girl. Safety The base buckled in pretty well and remained in one spot which is a major plus. Child Comfort Since my little guy fell asleep in it almost immediately I assumed it was very comfortable for him. Maneuverability I would imagine it would be easy to maneuver but in my case my child was so heavy for me it was hard. Durability I had this car seat for 5 months then I could no longer fit my son in there. I passed the car seat on to my brother in law and he absolutely loves it. It's still going strong!

Very good car seat. Fits in my small car. My baby is now 7 months and 20 pounds and it still fits her fine. I do find it is getting very heavy to cart her around in it but that's because she is now 20 pounds. I do hope to get a couple more months out of it! Design Very pretty design. I get a lot of compliments on the teal color. I also find it is very easily to clean. I take a rag and I wipe it down and let it dry for a couple of hours. When I am on the go I use a baby wipe to clean it and it gets clean and drys faster. Safety We have never had a problem with safety. Child Comfort She goes to sleep every time she's in it. She has never seemed uncomfortable in it. She is about 20 pounds now and she still will go right to sleep as soon as we start driving. I am glad we got this car seat because we are constantly driving around with her in it. Maneuverability Works well for us. Haven't had any issues moving it around. Durability Very good durability. It has held up nicely for the 7 months we have used it. We have used it a lot too! We have traveled about 2000 plus miles in it.

My little guy is comfy in it and it's easy to install. I love that there are multiple ways to securely install the base and seat in the car and that you are able to order multiple bases for convenience. The colors are cute and cheery. A big factor in choosing this one was that it came with the head support pillow attachment and less expensive models did not. Design My only complaint is that it doesn't fit in all shopping carts so well, but that's not so much their fault, as that there are so many different styles of carts. It would be almost impossible to make one completely universal. Safety Side impact testing is always a good thing. I also like the built in level to make sure you have it installed properly. Child Comfort I have read many reviews on less expensive brands and models that say that their babies are uncomfortable in the car seat that they purchased and that the baby will cry when put in the seat. My little guy snuggles right into this one and often falls asleep in this one. He loves it, and the adjustable handle makes it so he can sit up if we are somewhere that he's in it I can prop him up so he can feel more included instead of staring at the ceiling. Maneuverability Love the compact design versus more bulky models. Durability My little guy is so hard on everything and this has held up wonderfully.

I used this for my son when he was first born and I absolutely loved it! Graco is a brand a trusted well enough to bring him home in it and I will trust them from here on out for all of my baby's needs. It lasted until he grew out of it and we gave it to a friend. It's still holding up!

A good buy from a very reliable company. They are well known and trusted for their consistent high quality products. Safety A nice safe seat with lots of padding to keep any baby safe. The design was good, with a strong shell and solid sides. The handle was nicely design to make carrying easy. The colors choices were nice to suit either a boy or girl. A little on the heavy site, but this probably indicates the seat is well made. Quite easy to install with clear directions. Can be moved between cars without too much hassle. All in all a good car seat for the price, especially for parents who are concerned about keeping their baby as safe as possible. Child Comfort There was plenty of padding and support for even the smallest of infants. Maneuverability Fairly easy to carry and transfer to the stroller. A little heavier than some models but still not a problem.

I love this car seat! I have this exact color along with the stroller for my newborn. I'm one of those fashion forward moms who 'before baby' went crazy looking for the perfect fancy stroller to strut around with. Well, it didn't quite go how I planned but my husband bought the entire snug ride travel system and now I can say I'm very pleased that he did! I'm big on material and from first glance I could tell that the material was very durable and well padded in the right areas. I love the color schemes. The inside of the seat was well padded ! I did have to buy an additional car seat cover with neck support because my son was a very tiny 5 pounder. But now that he's 3 months and slowly but surely inching towards 20 lbs I've taken the car seat cover out. Another thing that I like about this car seat is the dial on the side which indicates whether the car seat is in the proper position when attached to the stroller and the clicking sound it makes when properly attached put me very much at ease. As a new mom, it makes me very happy and a lot less stress knowing that graco makes great products to help protect our little ones. Design I wish the canopy extended a bit longer and the car seat handle is too closer to baby's face so I can't hang any of his toys on it. They hit him in the face when they swing

We bought this for our 2nd child and absolutely love the look and design. Our child fits perfectly in it and I feel safer with her in this car seat. We had originally purchased a different brand car seat but our child was not comfortable in it at all and she did nothing but cry. Upon buying this car seat and putting her in it, she never did cry again. The straps are easily adjustable and the base can be anchored to the frame of the car allowing better safety. I love the canopy on it. It moves back and forth with ease allowing a better protection from sunlight and/or rain. I recommend this to anyone who is having a child or needing a replacement for what they currently have. You will not be disappointed. The car seat is easy to get in and out of the car and does attach to/remove from the base easily and is not difficult to maneuver even when dealing with another child at the same time.
