It serve the porpouse, this car seat is really nice I love the colors and design It was really easy to set up using the lacth system in my vehicle, I also like that is lighter than the previous one I had from another brand the only thing I dont like is the sun shade is kind of flimsy, and the head support is not that great, but for me that's not an issue since I use another kind I bought cause honestly I've never seen an infant car seat with a really good head support. it could be better in my honest opining, but overall I'm really happy with the purchase

Review 2 for Graco - SnugRide Infant Car Seat, Lively Dots
Just right for us

Got this car seat at my baby shower. My son used it until he grew out of it. He seemed comfortable and we used it on several 1000+ mile car trips. It's easy to use.
I saw one review that said the straps can't be adjusted once the kid is in the seat and the the seat is locked in place. I've not had this problem. The strap adjusting IS less convenient than when you can adjust the straps from the front.
The fabric on the seat feels a bit like plastic - which makes it easy to clean, but being in Vermont, it gets cold if left in the car and he complains when he first gets in.
The canopy falls behind the seat and gets in the way - but I left it on because it keeps him dry on our way to and from buildings when it's raining.
It's lightweight.
It's cute - good for boys or girls - which means you'll get the "is it a boy or girl" question a lot!

Ordered this with the stroller as a bundle for our bundle coming in May. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but seems pretty sturdy. I love the neutral fabric as we don't know what baby is yet. I would recommend this system for anyone who is on a budget.

I love the design on this car seat and I love that it can be used for a girl or boy. I really like the safety features and I bought it mostly for the newborn head-rest. It is a little larger so might not fit so well in a compact car, but I think it's worth the buy. So glad I bought this one.

My daughter is six weeks old and she loves her car seat! She'll sleep for hours in it. If we're at someone's house and she wants to take a nap, I'll just plop her in her car seat and she'll snooze away. It's not too heavy and just seemed much more durable than some other car seats I looked at. I love the colors of it too! I'd definitely recommend this car seat.

The cute fabric print on this item is what initially drew me to it. However, the fabric feels horrible and plastic-y to the touch. The seat is quite junky. I know they have to pass tests to be manufactured, but I essentially downgraded from a snugride 32 (which I loved) to a snugride when the 32 expired. There is a huge difference in the quality of the two. If you can swing it, go for the better model. The base on this one has a flimsy-feeling click up/down system, whereas the others have a knob that turns and they feel sturdier. Also, this one has no padding other than the fabric with a light lining. The back of the fabric part is that stuff that those reusable shopping bags are made of. Tell me how well that stuff holds up in the wash! This item is significantly cheaper when purchased in-store rather than online or site-to-store. The handle is jiggly. I obviously don't have too many nice things to say. I guess it will get the job done. The fabric print is a lighter color than what is shown online, which is a good thing. I should've gone with the even cheaper version because this is just poor quality. It's quite sad because Graco can make nice products. You'd think the price of this item would buy you something decent, but I guess not.

The options for this set is almost dizzying, but we are pleased with the quality and how sturdy it is. This brand has gotten us through three kids with one more here very very soon.

I placed this on my registry, and I love the colors and features of this car seat. The fabric is a little bit plastic like, but it is easier to clean because of it. It is very secure and easy to install correctly.
Pros: Clear Instruction, Straps and buckle feel secure, Easy to Clean, Supportive Padding, Base feels secure, Comfortable padding, Easy to install in Car

Think Twice...

I purchased two of these seats (having twins) because the price was right and the reviews I read were great....but NOBODY mentioned that you cannot adjust the harness straps either tighter or looser once you place the baby in the seat and lock into the base!!! You have to remove the seat from the base to reach the two strap inserts in the back to adjust the seat belt for safest and most comfortable position. We got so far as to having the seats installed by professional in the car before they mentioned that this was not the most convenient feature and we may want to upgrade. Thank goodness Walmart was awesome and let us return and exchange for the Snugride 35 which has the feature...in researching I noticed NOT ONE car seat product sprecification or review mentioned this feature and I was so surprised!! The upgrade will be worth it for sanity sake considereing I have two on the way!!

Big deal over nothing?
Posted 06/25/2012
I always got my children ready in the car seat before it locked in. There is no reason to adjust it while it's in the seat unless you carry your kids to the car without them in the car seat. Even then, you set it up once and it's good until they grow. You're not adusting it every time you put them in like a toddle car seat..... Not that big of a deal. Professionally installed? They aren't that hard to install....lol

I'm pretty sure this is how ALL snugride car seats are. You can't change the straps if it is locked in.

This carseat was very nice! I had purchased the cosco travel saystem, and took it back and got this instead. this producat was much better! The only complaint I have about it is that the colors in the picture are NOT the actual colors! the colors are much duller! not too big of a deal, but I was expecting this bright carseat, and it was not bright at all I still love it though!

Very Sturdy Babyseat

The carseat is a sturdy & well manufactured product.Light weight, for easy handling. It's not like the carseats from 5 - 10 years ago. heavy & oxy. The seatbelts are absolutely up to code & guidelines. The setup was fast. Less than 2 minutes.The only problem I have with this product is that the seat cover was not in the package. When I opened the box that was shipped to my walmart, the box the product was in, was open & torn. so in short it was not the manufacturer that had this mishap. I do recommend this product, just don't have it shipped.

It seemed pretty cheap at first, but I think it was just because it was new. Now it's been broken in a little and works just great.
