Graco SnugRide Classic Connect 35- Hathaway
April 30, 2014
The Graco car Seat is has it pluses and minuses. To begin with the when putting my son into the seat has some issues because the straps are pretty hard to click and and is not the most friendliest to adjust (even without the baby in the seat). After going through the strapping the baby process, it works like a charm. This is the fastest way my baby falls asleep. Hopefully these have been corrected with the CLICK Connect series. To be honest the only reason I bought this model is because it was compatible with the 4Moms Origami Stroller. If the Click Connect was compatible I would have gone that route. The second draw back would be trying to take the the base out of your Vehicle. It is so difficult that it almost hurt your fingers will trying to remove the base for the seat, if you need to swap the base to another Vehicle. I feel that is done on purpose, 1. safety 2. Make a person want purchase another base, which I eventually did.
Pros
  • Keeps the Baby Secure, compatible with the 4Moms Origami Stroller, price was reasonable, I guess because it is now a "Discontinued Model"
Best Uses
  • Keeps the Baby Secure, compatible with the 4Moms Origami Stroller
Cons
  • The difficulty in putting on the clips to strap the baby in. Trying to remove the base of the Car Seat from one Vehicle to another.

Nice looking seat!
April 17, 2014
The seat shipped very promptly. Our baby is not here yet to enjoy the seat, but compared to the original Snugride we had 10 years ago and used for our first three babies, this seat is very cushy (Gracopedic foam, plush seat cover), and the infant inserts for small babies are an excellent addition for getting a safe fit. We paid $99, which was a terrific price and probably partially due to the manufacture date (the seat expires 7 years after the date of manufacture).

Cute, but on the heavier side
March 24, 2014
I absolutely love this infant car seat. I love that it attaches to my contours bliss stroller.The only downside is that it is on the heavier side. Also the button to disconnect the belt is a bit hard at first. I've broke a few nails trying to open it.
Cons
  • Heavy

Graco Snugride
March 5, 2014
I've purchased several of these seats for the agency I work for and love them. They are easy to install and the higher weight limit means you can keep a baby in it for a longer period of time. Two of the best features are the seat belt lock off and the adjuster dial for reclining the base (to create the 30-45 degree angle for newborns and infants).

Great Product and Quick Receipt

This product could be used for a girl or boy. We look forward to using it with our son. It was easy to order and we received it very quickly.

Great car seat
February 12, 2014
I ordered this to replace another SnugRide 35 after we were in a car accident. This model is much less heavy than the one I bought 3 years ago, which is nice. I love the colors in this one, I would describe them as black and mint, and the material is nice and soft. This is a classic connect car seat, so if you are buying a graco stroller make sure it is also classic connect in order for you to be able to use them together. I love that this base has the built in seat belt lock offs because we have an older car, and it is so much easier than trying to use a locking clip!
Pros
  • Easy to install
  • Accommodates a higher weight and length than most infant seats
  • Lighter weight than previous models
Cons
  • Still a heavy car seat
  • The buckle requires a bit of pressure to undo

Even better in person!
February 4, 2014
Our little one hasn't arrived yet, so I can't comment on the "fit", etc. What I can say is that this carseat is even more luxurious and better quality in person. It is fantastic. So soft yet durable. Seems as though it will cradle our little girl and keep her safe. We have used Graco carseats for our 3 previous babies and have always loved the ease of use, safety, and durablility of them. I cannot wait to put our little one in this seat! (I will try to update this review when our baby is born)

Loud crackly fabric on hood
February 3, 2014
I like the colors and all other aspects of this seat but wanted to warn others that it has really crackly sounding fabric on the hood. My babies are usually light sleepers & I worry this will wake my newborn. Haven't used it yet..
Pros
  • Cute modern look
Cons
  • Loud fabric on hood

This is a manly mint/turquoise and black infant seat, though it could also be for a girl. :)Graco makes great infant seats. The best thing about this carseat was the price! Thank you Albee Baby for making this affordable for my growing family!

Pretty good, but I don't like the warning labels.
January 14, 2014
The product is pretty good, but I really don't like the location of the warning label being next to where the baby's head will be and 2 more warning labels being underneath where the baby's butt will be. They are all iron-on labels, so I was really unhappy about that. Besides that, everything is good.

Carseat is great, but color is a bit off
December 19, 2013
The carseat is 5 stars for sure, definitely bigger then I thought it was, but if you are buying it thinking it is blue, it's more like a aqua green color (at least mine is).Not a big deal at all, but I was a bit like "Oh..." when I opened the box. Expected it to be turquoise blue.

As Described
December 15, 2013
I haven't got to use this Carseat yet but it shipped fast and arrived as described! It's a print I couldn't find anywhere else online or in stores and the price was $70 dollars cheaper than the same make/model anywhere else! I'm very satisfied with my purchase and can't wait to use it :) The only thing I would suggest is to pick out the stroller you want first and if it's one that you can use your Carseat on make sure it's a CLASSIC CONNECT stroller not a CLICK CONNECT stroller. This Carseat can not attach to click connect strollers, just classic connect.

so far so good
December 13, 2013
The seat and base arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I'm a fan of the Hathaway pattern and it all seems to be quality goods. I love that the infant carrier is so much lighter than the peg perego we used with our first two kids. We've still got a couple of weeks before this one shows up though so haven't actually used it yet. Will update soon.
Pros
  • Light weight
  • Adorable
  • Graco's safety record is great
Cons
  • Seems long and may limit the vehicle choices
  • But doesn't seem to be a problem in the minivan.

Just what I hoped for!
November 4, 2013
I bought this seat for baby boy # 3 :) I LOVE the pattern and colors and the sale price was too good to pass up! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the crotch buckle can be tricky to get undone but I have found this a pretty common issue with graco seats.
