Graco SnugRide SnugLock LX Car Seat, Lightweight Infant Car Seat with TrueShield Side Impact Technology, Rear Facing Carseat with Canopy and 4 Position Recline

Stroller and Car seat review—I am a new mom expecting twins. When it comes to basically anything I do a lot of research before I make a final decision. I bought the graco duo glide double stroller back when it was on sale around Black Friday. It was fairly priced and had a lot of good reviews. My husband and I put it together. It was very easy and did not take long at all. We practiced folding it, opening and lifting it in and out of my Mazda CX 5. It just fits sideways in the back of my Mazda. I’m a smaller person and I can honestly say that this stroller is not very heavy and easy to use, I love the storage underneath too. We finally purchased the graco snugride snug lock 35 lx with click connect after narrowing it down to 3 infant graco car seats. We went to a few different stores to be able to see them in person and see how heavy they were going to be. This car seat was definitely the lightest out of all of them. It’s about 9lbs compared to 17pounds or more. The design is very sleek and soft, also it does come with a newborn insert. I also love the safetly harness and it comes with seat belt covers so that they don’t rub against their neck. After doing a little research to see how both car seats snap into the stroller, we got them in. The very front was easy to snap down onto the cup holder tray. The one closest to the back of the stroller was a bit tricky. The arm bar is actually hidden under the cup holder tray. So you have to snap that off and the arm bar is good to go to snap the car seat down on it. Overall I can’t wait to be able to use these items with our twins. I’m very satisfied with the quality so far and the easy installation.

Love this car seat! I researched and fret over car seats for months. Since it has been more than 10 years since I had my last baby, a lot has changed and there’s so many more options today. I have to be honest, I did good picking this one out! The base with this seat is far superior to any base I’ve had before. There is an added feature- a lever of sorts- that ensures the base’s tightness and security. It’s a great feature. The seat itself has an amazing feel to it, which I was initially concerned with since I couldn’t feel it online. I’m so happy with this purchase. I feel my little guy is safe and comfortable. The UV canopy is an awesome feature too and the ability to change the tightness of the straps with on lever push... oh, and the change of the handle with one button push! So many things to love. The best part of all though is that this will fit into any base or stroller with Click Connect. Two minor complaints... and I mean MINOR... sometimes we struggle getting the seat out of the base. You have to make sure you’ve pulled the backed lever handle up all the way and then pull on the car seat. Secondly, I can’t put the handle all the way back like some of my previous car seat handles. This prevents the car seat from fully stabilizing in a grocery cart- so my little one is constantly rocking when in the back of a cart. Overall though, would buy again.

I’m not sure it’s normal to be this excited about a car seat, yet here I am!! I was on the hunt for a new infant car seat for our 3rd baby because our Baby Trend one always gave us fits. I originally ordered the Graco Snugride Snuglock 35 Elite. Once it came in, I hated it! The seat was bulky, the coloring on it was weird, the headrest didn’t come out, etc. Thankfully I also had this car seat already in transit as a 2nd option. And boy am I glad I did! This car seat is absolutely beautiful! I mean no disrespect when I say that it does not look like a Graco car seat! It looks like a high end car seat that I see plastered all over Instagram! Even though it’s pretty, let’s talk functions! The one button handle...game changer! As a mom of 2 toddlers with one on the way (I’ll have 3 kids 4 and under) this handle could be life changing! I can already see myself holding the baby or having my hands full with the toddlers so the one handed easy handle is awesome! The canopy is a very thing, almost spandex like material! Super breathable and unlike any car seat canopy I’ve ever seen before! I was originally worried about the seat being all black and being hot for baby but I think the canopy is a huge plus being so thin and allowing air to pass thru! The padding inside feels soft and squishy. The newborn insert is the perfect amount of support. I know which my other 2, they grew out of the infant inserts by about 2 months old and the ones that came with this seat look like they will work great as well. I couldn’t find one complaint about this car seat so far! I can’t wait to put my new little babe in it come October! Well done, Graco!

When picking this car seat for my new addition, I was not thinking about the possibility of her being premature or very tiny, which she turned out to be. To be discharged form the NICU, babies must pass the car seat test. The NICU nurses informed me that this was one of only 2 car seat brands they were aware of that had shoulder straps that adjusted small/low enough for the really small babies. I was beyond grateful I did not have to purchase a whole new car seat to fit my tiny bundle of joy! It is also very sturdy, great quality, and easily clicks in and out of the base and the foldable stroller frame I purchased separately.

Great car seat for my new born.

I love this car seat! We bought it for our 3rd and it's held up incredibly well. He's 19 months now and just outgrew the limits, but it'll be great for our next one. It has one run in the fabric where it got snagged, but no pilling. The padding is sufficient and quite comfortable. It was able to fit across the back seat of my 2020 Kia Niro with 2 other Graco boosters, so it's not bulky. The recline is perfect. The straps are easy to adjust, and removing the cover to wash is as easy as it can be. Car installation is a snap: the new bases are easy and very secure.

Pretty good! Love that it clicks onto the stroller seamlessly.
