Love it!

Very impressed! Thanks to the weespring parent panel we were able to try out this new snugfit car seat. I was very impressed with this car seat and babe seems to enjoy it as well! I’m so used to his head tilting to one side while going on car rides but love the bigger head rest. The extendable leg room is a great feature to add! Easy install, one click handle on top compared to one on each side or the handle , love the headrest. Fits well in my double stroller and extra base. Thanks weespring!

I have been using this car seat with my second child who is now 8 months old and I wish I had it sooner. She is tall so I am happy that this car seat extends and we can keep her comfy and safe while rear facing longer! First off, I love the neutral color! The canopy is also so much better than my first child's car seat which I felt like I was never able to completely cover him when I needed it. I have not had that problem with this car seat and I am looking forward to using it in the summer sun! We installed this using the LATCH route and it was easy enough and my husband and I both felt comfortable with how secure it was. It is a little tricky to tighten the harness but my last car seat was also tricky. Maybe that is how they all are? Regardless, we adjusted it so that it fits our baby and she is safe and comfortable. She seems to dig it! The car seat is very easy to get in and out of the car, a must since I also have an active 2 year old! The true test will be once she poops or throws up in it and we see how easy it is to wash :) Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product.

A Breeze to Adjust
on May 19, 2018
Posted by: nrau
You will not regret buying this car seat. It is extremely user friendly and will keep your little one safe and secure. I have previously used a Graco Snugride car seat, and this one is a major upgrade. The car seat base was easy to install and connects tighter than our previous ones due to a better latch system-making the base more safe and secure. The major selling point of this car seat is the extendable panel-giving you the option for more legroom as your child grows. I found this adjustment easy to make, and had I had this car seat with my first child I would have felt better about leaving him rear facing longer, which I will definitely do now with my second child. My favorite feature of this seat though is that the shoulder straps are easily adjustable just by using a simple button on the back-no need to retread the straps as your child grows! I was able to find easily get the straps and headrest to fit my baby perfectly. Another added bonus is that the carrying handle only has one button to adjust its location-the two button push on other Graco car seats was such a pain! The only downside of this car seat is it’s weight-it is heavy! In my opinion, it’s worth the extra weight. (Plus now I can skip going to the gym!) I was given this car seat as part of the weeSpring parent panel, and this review is my honest feedback.

Safe and Comfortable Baby = Happy Mama!

I used to worry about how we were going to make it two years in a rear facing car seat. Not any more! This car seat gave my son soooooo much leg room, its unbelievable. My son's feet stick out past the edge of the car seat and all I had to do is adjust the based. BOOM, no more kicking the seat. The base was super easy to install and adjust based on my son's legs. It took own a few minutes. I appreciate the fact the it works with other SnugRide products. We were able to use our extra bases and with our stroller. Another thing I love about this car seat is the head rest. The protection it provides his head and neck is wonderful. The headrest are really easy to adjust with just one hand. I honestly can't imagine a car sear easier to install and adjust to make make my son comfortable. That's another thing.....my son find it super comfortable. He falls asleep in it all the time (and he only sleeps when he is comfortable) and sometimes before we get out of the neighborhood. I can't say enough good things about this car seat. I can't imagine going back to our old car seat. It is comfortable, keeps him safe and makes mama happy. We have found the car seat for us (at least until he goes to a forward facing seat). Thank you weeSpring Parent Panel for sending us this car seat to try and review!

Great car seat!

I was so excited to find out that weeSpring Parent Panel emailed me to say they were sending me the Graco SnugRide SnugLock Extend2Fit 35 to test. The empty car seat it pretty light which is nice because once I add my son to the seat it is still easy to pick up and carry. I love the one push button to move the handle. It can easily be moved with just one hand. The canopy is also silent so if you need to open it or close it while they sleep it will not wake them! The base was simple to install. The latch system makes the installation able to be done in less than 2 minutes. The extendable panel is perfect for my growing son who will soon be too long for a regular infant seat. With the extendable panel I will be able to use this car seat for probably another year without having to buy another seat. The button is easy to press and extend the panel for up to 4" of extra leg room. The extra padding in the head rest is great for when my son falls asleep in the car seat. It protects his head from flopping around. The shoulder straps can easily be moved as my son grows with the adjustable slide on the back of the car seat. Just squeeze the buttons and slide it to where you need it. And there is still plenty of room to move the shoulder straps up farther as my son continues to grow. The harness pulls easily secure so I have no worries of him moving around in the car seat should we ever be in an accident. The seat easily clicks into the base so I never have to worry about it moving while I'm driving. I would highly recommend this car seat to any new parents looking for a safe and easy to use car seat. Thank you again to the weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this car seat to try and review.

Love it! Such a great infant seat

I got this NEW graco Snugride SnugLock Extend2Fit 35 from weespring parentpanel to review! Omg so I love everything Graco has to offer! I love the variety and safety graco brings in to keep our little loves safe. This is the brand new Extend2Fit 35 infant car seat! THAT'S RIGHT! You can rear face from birth up to 4-35lbs and 35in! The Extend2Fit capabilities to keep your little one rear facing longer. In California it is STATE LAW to rear face until 2 #turnafter2 this will keep your little one safe until roughly 2 years old. I tried it out on a 2 1/2 year old who was 35.5in and 28lbs. She obviously was too big but it shows how far you can rear face for. This will comfortable accommodate a preemie who is 4lbs comfortable and safely, which is a must for babies who are in low birth weight but otherwise healthy. The seat is super plush and soft. Pretty breathable. The harness is a no rethread (I love) but I do find it hard to adjust the harness from the back which is a pain in the butt. One button adjustable carry handle. The base has 2 bubble sections (infants and toddlers). I love the extendable base leg, super easy to adjust. I do feel like the base does stick out a bit but it's still very sturdy. The Snugride Snuglock infant car seat does have a slim profile so you could fit 3 car seats across depending on the seats style and car. Overall I really love it. Oh almost forgot! It has a snuglock locking compartment to make installing a breeze! Because we all know that 4/5 car seats are incorrectly installed. This takes the guess work out of it! Thank you Weespring parent panel! P.S. remember you need 1in from the top of an infant seat once you have 1in you MUST transition to a Convertible Car Seat (preferably a rear and forward facing)

Amazing seat but can be a bit warm for baby

At 9 months old and a bit of a chunker, I was nervous when the weeSpring Parent Panel invited me to try out and review the Graco SnugRide SnugLock Extend2Fit 35 for my son. I'm so very glad they did, though! First things first, the car seat is SO easy to install. We tried it with both LATCH and the seatbelt and Graco has made it a breeze. The Snug Lock feature really made me feel like the seat was in there as tight as it would go. The base isn't overly bulky, which is a problem with our other seats.
Feature-wise, this thing is loaded. The 'silent shade' really is wonderful - I can slide the shade up and down with no noise or weird clicking and it stays where I put it. I love how easy it is to get it in and out of the car, too. I don't have a Graco car seat, but I can definitely understand where the ability to pop the seat right in would be awesome - no need to disturb a finally sleeping baby!
The newest feature - the Extend2Fit Panel - is ideal! My son is 22lbs and 27" at 9 months old. I'm pretty confident that we will get at least another 6 months of use out this car seat. For as 'big' as he is, he looks extremely comfortable in the seat and still has plenty of room without us even popping out the extend2fit panel. This car seat will DEFINITELY be worth your money time-wise, especially if you use it from birth, which you can with the generous 4lb lower limit.
Now for the negative - I'm in Arizona and it gets QUITE warm here. This seat just doesn't seem to have the breathability that I've seen with other seats. As an extreme example, it's been over 100 degrees here already. When it's that warm, other seats have kept him fairly cool but in this Graco seat, he gets pretty sweaty until the car is really cooled down. If you're in a hot climate area, be aware of this in the summer months!
The other thing is that we popped the Extend2Fit panel all the way out and in our Toyota 4Runner, it was incredibly difficult to use the LATCH system - I wish Graco had made them just an inch or two longer. Using the seatbelt still worked, though, so it wasn't a deal breaker.
Overall, I recommend this car seat to anyone as a first and very long-lasting car seat. It's more compact while still remaining safe and comfortable for a growing child.

Great Car Seat!

I have a two-year-old and a 6-week-old baby at home. My two-year-old is 26 pounds and our pediatrician recommended that we keep her rear facing for as long as possible. She was running out of leg room in her convertible car seat, so I was excited that the Extend2Fit had an extender for extra leg room. However, when the Extend2Fit arrived, it was clear that it was designed for infants and is more suitable for my younger daughter. Overall, it is a nicely made car seat that has great safety features! Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this car seat.
PROS: It was VERY easy to install the base using the latch system (took me less than 5 minutes to install) mainly because the instructions were well written with clear pictures. We are able to use the infant insert that was included. It was very easy to adjust the head support and buckle position to fit my daughter perfectly.
The best feature for me is the SnugLock Arm, which helped take away any extra slack so the base hardly moves. Additionally, the car seat clicks to the base so you know it is correctly in place. I love that there is a compartment to store the latch strap when not in use, as we sometimes fly and check our car seats.
CONS: I did not like how when adjusting the carry handle down you had to release the red button and push it again for it to go all the way down. Also, I was not able to extend the base to full capacity due to my vehicle seat (I have a mid-sized sedan), but there is a helpful sticker to ensure that the base is a minimum of 80% on the vehicle seat which is necessary for safety
