Description

This infant car seat features load leg technology, providing an extra layer of rear-facing safety by reducing rotation of the car seat in the event of an impact. SnugRide performance helps to protect rear-facing infants from 4-30 lbs and up to 32”.

SnugLock technology installs in less than one minute using vehicle seat belt or LATCH. The headrest and harness can be adjusted together while baby is in the seat with the front-adjust No-Rethread Simply Safe Adjust Harness System.

The Silent Shade canopy adjusts quietly without disturbing baby, and the one-hand adjustable handle makes getting baby in and out easier. Graco’s exclusive InRight LATCH attachment provides a one-second attachment with an audible click to help ensure secure installation.

The 4-position adjustable base and an easy-to-read pendulum level indicator help with proper installation. Infant head and body supports and harness covers offer a comfortable fit.

Create your own travel system or use in multiple cars: The SnugRide DLX attaches with a one-step secure connection to Graco strollers and infant car seat bases.

The car seat is also Graco ProtectPlus Engineered to help protect in frontal, side, rear and rollover crashes.

Too Hard to Adjust
What a difficult seat to work with. Unreal. Nothing works easy. If you can even figure how to do it.

Graco SnugRide 35 DLX Infant Car Seat featuring
This review was collected as part of a promotion
As a mom of 3, I have seen and used various infant car seats and this Graco car seat has some wonderful features. One of most important things I look for in a car seat, is safety on the road. The load leg feature on this car seat gives a little extra peace of mind when driving on busy roads. It is a nice bonus feature even if it isn't a necessity. The instructions were clear on how to set up the load leg and it was easy to position. It does take up some space if you are in a vehicle where you

Extra Safety Features
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I'm impressed. The Load Leg feature makes this Graco SnugRide car seat more secure in my vehicle. The Load Leg gives the seat extra support and tension so that the car seat doesn't move at all. The Leg adjusts easily with a push of a button to adjust the length for proper fit in different vehicles. This makes me feel better if something were to happen that I know she is very secure in this seat. It is easy to install in the

Cool safety feature
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I think the Graco SnugRide with load leg is a great option for those who are really worried about car seat safety. Installation was pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, the height of my back seats apparently isn't quite right for the load leg - it was not "firmly" planted against the floor of my car, and there was just a little wiggle room. The load leg locks at 4 different seat heights, so it probably works for many cars, just not for mine. I think it was close enough that it probably adds

EASY and LIGHT
This review was collected as part of a promotion
Not all carseats are this easy, don't be fooled. This one is EASY and makes me feel very safe driving around with my 7 month old. A huge bonus is that she is actually comfortable and can go longer distances without so much as happy squeals from her! The base was a breeze to install, I used the latches and the load bearing leg. It was almost too easy. I'm not someone to read through instructions but I reviewed just to make sure I had it right because I was able to do it so quickly. This could be

Carseat that checks all the boxes
This review was collected as part of a promotion
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to try out this carseat! Right off the bat, I thought that this car seat had a great gender neutral color that was bluish grey with an almost denim like pattern. It had padding in all the right places and the materials used were very soft. The load leg feature of this car seat was an added bonus, as I feel that is it very reassuring to have this added safety feature to help keep my baby as safe as possible. Installing this car seat

Amazing Car Seat
This review was collected as part of a promotion
This Graco SnugRide carseat is absolutely amazing. I have nothing but great things to say about it. To begin I want to mention the quality of the materials which are excellent, made of super high quality materials, it will definitely last us a long time. When it came to installation of the carseat in my car it was very easy to do so. I had no trouble whatsoever and if I had any doubts I referred to the manual which included very easy to read and understand instructions. The carseat sits very

Safety just in case
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I really like how lightweight this carrier is. Finally a car seat that doesn’t weigh 20 lbs without the baby In it. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the handle feels cheap and like it may become an issue down the road if used again. The one hand operation of the handle is nice but it’s just not right yet, further engineering is needed.
The fabric feels like good quality. I was impressed on how big the canopy is, it really covers better than other seats. My 14lb 5 month old

Snug as a Bug
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I received the Graco Snugride 35 DLX infant carseat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have an after infancy Graco carseat for one of my other children and this infant seat is very similar design-wise. Specifically this Astaire model is very modern looking. It’s sort of a charcoal gray black so it looks like a nice luxury carseat. All of the padding and support all around for an infant is very nice. The load leg is not something I have experienced with my other children. The added

5 Star Car Seat
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a first time mom, having a car seat that provides me with extra safety gives me a clear state of mind. From the ease of getting the baby in and out and the load leg, this car seat has been a must have. The load leg was very important to me since I know that while the car is in motion the car seat wont rotate. This features provides my baby with an extra layer of safety that I love. Also, since my baby is on the taller side I
