Reminds me of the old Snugride 22!
on February 29, 2020
Posted by: Mommagarrett
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the momma of 5, I have been around the car seat block a few times. While I have used many other infant “bucket” seats over the years, including a different brands more recent model in the past few weeks, and my favorite has always been the Graco Snugride 22. This model, the SnugRide(TM) 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat, reminds names of all of the things that I loved from that seat.
Pros:
Lightweight. You lug these seats in and out of cars, with an infant in them. Every pound matters!

Simple to use. While there are not many bells and whistles, I was able to change the strap positions and install the base quickly, both with a seat belt install and a latch install, with ease.
Affordable. This seat comes with a very affordable price point. When it comes to infant seats cost matters as I switch them to a convertible seat once they become too cumbersome to carry. Because of this, I am not concerned with a high weight or height rating.
Easy to wipe fabric. The fabric reminds me of neoprene and is easy to wipe with a baby wipe.
Cons:
Lack of extras. If you are looking for straps that adjust without rethreading, no twist straps, or extra features for easier install this is not your seat.
Overall I am so happy with this seat. It is perfect for the first few months of my babes life! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super light, lightning quick to get in/out of car!
on February 29, 2020
Posted by: anj5007
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a mom of two and have been using this car seat with my second child (an infant). The first thing I noticed (basically as soon as I removed it from the box) was how LIGHT it was. I had a C-section with my son so the lightness made it so much easier to lift and maneuver the car seat. We really love the Click Connect system and used it with our first child as well. Getting the car seat in the car is literally a SNAP and removing it is as easy as pushing a button.
I really liked the adjustable base that came with the car seat because it was much easier to install and adjust the recline than the regular SnugRide 35 car seat base (used with my first child). The footprint of the base is also smaller so it takes up less room in my back seat. With two kids rear facing, this is so important for my car's rear seat real estate!
My favorite feature of this car seat is how easy it is to adjust the tightness of the straps when putting my son in the seat. The strap is easy to pull to tighten the straps and they loosen just as easily and smoothly to remove him. The button can be a little tricky to find at first but once you know where it is, everything is seamless!
My son is only a month old and I already had to adjust the shoulder straps to the next slot. This is really easy to do but you can't do it with your child in the seat. I realized my son had a growth spurt and had to take him out of the seat to adjust the shoulder straps. You have to basically flip the car seat over to detach the straps on the underside so you can feed them through the next slot. This wasn't enough of a hassle to reduce my rating, though, but my daughter's car seat allows us to adjust the shoulder straps while she is sitting in the seat.
My only other complaint is I cannot remove the canopy. I never use it and it's always in my way. It is easy to just have the canopy down all the time, but I also removed it completely on our SnugRide 35 car seat but the SnugRide 35 Lite does not have this capability.
Overall, I love this car seat and base more than the one we used with my daughter and it has made my post-C-section recovery so much easier! A huge thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat to review!

Infant car seat love
on February 29, 2020
Posted by: heyrachelmarie120
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family and I live on the third floor of our apartment complex. We have three children aged 3 and under. So when Stellar Product Testing Panel told me they were sending me a car seat that was light weight, naturally I shouted for joy and did a victory dance. When I opened the box first thing I noticed was how attractive the car seat is. It’s almost all black, which I love, because it keeps it looking clean and I can use it for a boy or girl. When I picked it up I was in shock at how light it actually is! I doubted that it could be safe but then when I saw that it is ProtectPlus engineered and side impact tested I was reassured and relieved to know my baby would be extremely safe. And that is what is most important to me. It is a great plus that the car seat is so light and easy to get in and out of our car. The adjustable base also get me an extra reassurance that my baby was installed properly. It was easy to read and because of the recline adjustment it was easy to readjust as needed. But over all I’d say how light it is, with out compromising my babies safety, is by far my favorite feature.

Lightweight and easy to use!
on February 29, 2020
Posted by: JennTerresa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This seat was shockingly lightweight. When I got the box I was surprised at how light the box was and that was an immediate pro to me. I usually don’t like infant only seats because of how heavy and bulky they are, making it almost impossible to get in/out of the car and carry. This seat definitely doesn’t have that issue and is easy to snap in and out of the base and much easier to carry than other seats I have used. Another issue I usually have with infant seats is rerouting the straps is normally a pain, but straps on this seat were super simple to reroute and adjust. The seat was very easy to install and the adjustable base made it much easier to install accurately. My favorite part (aside from how lightweight it is) is the canopy. It just slips over the handle and I was skeptical about how I would like that at first, but after using it that became one of my favorite features. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Budget Friendly
on February 29, 2020
Posted by: AndreaL17
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel we were given a chance to review Snugride 35. It seems to be a budget friendly carseat. It is beyond light, there's absolutely no denying that! We have a few Graco 4ever carseats for our older son and I feel there's quite a difference in quality. The plastic flexes when you push on it with your hands. The Snugride's fabric is almost crunchy. It does whick messes well, but I'm not sure how breathable it would be in the heat of summer. With this being said, there also isn't much for cushion and the newborn insert is too wide for our little guy. It almost makes me nervous how easily the cover comes off for wash, but it is nice it's one piece to throw in the washer. We are in winter and the handle does not have any gripping so I haven't worn mittens while carrying it due to a fear of dropping it. The canopy is a nice size, but seems to get in the way when you put the handle down. It pops nicely into the base. Overall, if you're on a budget, it'll do the job, but as for safety and comfort I've seen Graco provide a more superior product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Loves this lightweight car seat
on March 1, 2020
Posted by: franny35
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the Graco SnugRide(TM) 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat for a few weeks now, and I love how lightweight it is! It's super easy to get the seat in and out of the car, and I'm not breaking my back carrying it with baby in it.
I had hubs install it, and he said that it was fairly easy (easier than our last car seat!)
My favorite feature was the modern look and the canopy.

Awesome lightweight infant seat
on March 2, 2020
Posted by: mohawkins
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this infant car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have used Graco products, including car seats, before, but this was our first infant seat. On first glance, the styling and size of the carseat are awesome! It fit my moms smaller SUV great, which is a very hard test to pass. It comes with a base, and includes infant inserts to help support smaller babies. The canopy is a good size but not huge, and it sticks a little when opening and closing.
The seat itself is SO light. I believe it weights 7.4 pounds. If you need something easy to get around for yourself or family, this is a great option!
The base includes the standard Graco lower anchors and can be installed with that method or seatbelt. I personally chose seatbelt because the standard anchors are sort of hard to remove if you need to uninstall often. The recline indicator on the base is very helpful, but not my favorite. It can be a little.confusing to read depending on the angle you are viewing from, which is mostly only an issue when you're trying to get that extra bit of recline for a newborn.
Overall, this seat usage great basic option for a lightweight and compact seat that is easy for all caregivers to install and use!

Great lightweight car seat!
on March 2, 2020
Posted by: Kalswags
We are using this with our second baby, who is 2 weeks now. I was very surprised at how light it was when I took it out of the box - a huge help for me carrying it around! The seat is easily latched into the base and then easy to take out with the one button release in the back. So far it is very easy to carry with it being so lightweight. The adjustable base was a quick and easy install, and the 4 position adjustable recline on it helped to install it in my car since my seats are a little more sloped down where the base latches in. The canopy on the seat is a little loud when pushed back and forth startles my baby every so often, but it may loosen up over time. Overall, this is a wonderful, and very affordable option for a carseat! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.
