I'm going to disagree with the PP's that say they don't mind the 22lb weight limit. DD is almost 20lbs at 5mths so now we are in a predicament of whether to switch to convertible seat in the middle of our freezing Canadian winter or buying another infant seat with a higher weight limit. If I could do it over I would get a seat with a higher weight limit.<br /> But, maybe your baby won't be a ginormasaurus and you will be fine with the 22lb limit :-) its a great seat, otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402995 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 10:32:41 +0000 cascademom 1402995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Same as mentioned above. Only when LO got too big and tall did it get really heavy. By that point, we switched to a convertible car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402820 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 09:42:38 +0000 avivoca 1402820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I didn't find it to be too heavy until just recently, but my baby is a chunk and weighs 14 pounds at 4 months and I don't have a lot of upper body strength. The seat itself weighs 7.5 pounds, which is very light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402684 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 08:43:54 +0000 mlm2934 1402684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: @avivoca: @Aimed: I think I remember reading people complain about 35 brung heavier than they'd like - how do y'all feel about its weight? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402614 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 07:31:54 +0000 Aimed 1402614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: we had the snug ride 35 and put it through a lot! I loved it. Also target is currently having a sale on everything graco so you might be able to get a good deal! Also if you sign up for cartwheel you get 20% off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402609 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 07:14:56 +0000 avivoca 1402609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the SnugRide 35 click connect and we love it. I was the crazy lady petting all the car seats and this was the one that was softest. I considered the KeyFit, but it wouldn't fit in my car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402569 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 03:25:40 +0000 loveisstrange 1402569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used one as well. It served us well and we had no issues with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402501 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 00:13:50 +0000 coopsmama 1402501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was our infant car seat for DS and it served us well! No complaints. We bought our son a more expensive/fancier convertible car seat but I agree with you on the infant ones -- as long as they are safe, I don't see the need to spend a lot on a car seat that they will outgrow quickly. DS moved to his convertible at 5 months and is happy as a clam in it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402408 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:46:25 +0000 cascademom 1402408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Snugride 35 and it's fantastic. It served us well until he was too big for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402351 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:13:15 +0000 Mrsjets 1402351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that the 22lbs limit is fine - I was done with lugging around the seat when DS was 8 months, 18 lbs and bought a convertible. Like @LemonLong: I would invest in the model with the tightening strap in the front though - that's a big deal IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402331 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:01:06 +0000 mlm2934 1402331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonLong: someone mentioned that being annoying in the reviews! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402329 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:00:17 +0000 LemonLong 1402329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For just a bit more you can get this one. Looks like the one you posted has the strap adjustment in the back which would be really annoying.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Graco-SnugRide-Classic-Connect-Dragonfly/dp/B00AHVR1TK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391655451&#038;sr=8-10&#038;keywords=graco+snugride+35" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Graco-SnugRide-Classic-Connect-Dragonfly/dp/B00AHVR1TK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391655451&#038;sr=8-10&#038;keywords=graco+snugride+35</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402256 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:20:23 +0000 Smurfette 1402256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a snugRide 35. A friend let us borrow it since they only used it for 4 months. I loved it. No complaints. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402217 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:08:17 +0000 MapleMoose 1402217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No complaints about my Graco Snugride click connect 30. We usually use it with the base in the car because it's easier but we've also used it without once and we had no problems. I like the stroller that goes with it because it has enough storage space on the bottom for the diaper bag and a carrier. It also folds with one hand which is huge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402173 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:57:40 +0000 singingbee 1402173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a snug ride 35 and its click connect. I love it. It came with some extras so it was a little more, but we couldn't be happier with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402137 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:47:08 +0000 T-Mom 1402137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my kids used a snug ride classic.. It was actually top of the line when I had my first :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402088 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:33:45 +0000 LemonLong 1402088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a snugride classic 32. It was a hand me down from my brothers two kids, so it went through 3 kids! It worked great. We ended up having to get a new one for our next baby because our old one expired. We ended up going with the Snugride again. We got a click connect one though since they didn't have classics. It was $84 at BabyRUs in their clearance section, in the back of the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402058 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:27:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 1402058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what I have and it's fine. Honestly, I did zero research on it-- my sister gave me hers and I took it! She chose it because her stroller only worked with a handful of carseats and this was the lightest weight one. I have nothing to compare it to but it works for us, seems about as easy to use as any other. The weight limit is a bit lower than some other seats but everything I read says most babies outgrow by length faster anyway, and once you get past 20 pounds, you aren't wanting to carry a baby in the seat anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/graco-snugride-classic#post-1402048 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:23:19 +0000 mlm2934 1402048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ok at first I thought I had to have chicco keyfit bc that's what everyone raves about, and friends have recommended, but after thinking about it, I'm not comfortable spending $200 on infant car seat as long as what I get is up to safety standards. also I want something light and easy to use. is the graco snugride classic a good option? do you recommend a diff system (or diff snugride model) if I want something close to $100 mark for infant car seat?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Graco-SnugRide-Classic-Connect-Infant/dp/B00AHVR1RM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391649650&#038;sr=8-2&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Graco-SnugRide-Classic-Connect-Infant/dp/B00AHVR1RM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391649650&#038;sr=8-2&#038;amp</a>; </p>
