Good CarseatAug 19, 2008
I wish this pattern had been available in stores, but am quite happy with it so far. Love that it has the separate base to leave in the car, and the additional products that work with this carrier (swing, stroller frame). Only wish there was more padding under baby's bottom instead of just fabric & plastic.
 good seatAug 18, 2008
this is a great seat. can only be found online. if you alread have a graco stroller this will fit it.
 Handle is hard to move!Aug 06, 2008
We decided that our last Evenflo car seat was too old for baby #2 (6 years) so we bought the Graco Snugride (Winnie the Pooh from Walmart). I checked carefully that it had the full canopy, not the mini-canopy that attaches to the back of the seat. However the handle is really hard to adjust -- it takes two hands to press the red lock releases -- if there is any pressure on the handle one or the other of the lock releases won't depress. I had forgotten how critical it is to be able to do this with one hand -- with milk, a diaper bag, or an older kids hand in the other. I wouldn't buy this again, and I'm trying to decide if we can stand it long enough for the baby to hit 22 pounds (she's 12 at the moment).
When the baby is sound asleep in the car seat (surely why you bought a snap-out car seat) the handle has a habit of sliding from an unlocked into locked position with a loud "WHACK!" that actually jars the seat -- waking the dead, let alone the sleeping baby.
The straps are also very hard to tighten -- you have to feed left and right separately through a metal fitting to adjust. Our last carseat (an Evenflo?) had a one handle release -- you pushed down, then it rotated, and there was enough stiffness in the handle that even in a non-locked position, it never adjusted itself when the baby was asleep.
car seat with bad design and hot fabricJul 28, 2008
This is my first review on Amazon, because I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this product. I am a first time mom and did a lot of research on car seats.This one seemed to get good marks . The positives: yes, its very cute, relatively light, installs fairly easily. However, as some reviewers pointed it does not adjust in the front, you have to mess with the metal buckles in the back. Does not seem like a big deal to you? Trust me, it will when you have a screaming child to deal with. VERY USER UNFRIENDLY! ON top of it, the fabric is awful , she sweats so bad in it, even with AC on high. Granted I have not tried other car seats, maybe they use similar fabric, because of flammability requirements. I just know this one needs to be redesigned. But to each his own, I guess, a lot of people love it. For first time parents, I urge you to try it out at WAl Mart or Target first, before ordering it online, based on good reviews. I would not buy it again, thats for sure.

New design is horrible!Jun 25, 2008
I registered for and received this car seat in the Chelsea pattern when my triplets were born. We had two hand-me-downs (both Graco SnugRide seats, one from a friend which was 6 months old and one our oldest daughter used as a baby which was 18 months old) and only needed one new seat. I liked the cute pink pattern of this seat and assumed that the mechanics and quality were as good as the one I was used to using with my oldest. Assuming is where I went wrong.
The quality of this seat went way down in the 18 months since I bought my original: the handle is now open in the back where it used to be solid; the grippy area on the handle is 1/3 the size it used to be; the handle up and down operation is rough, not fluid or easy. The mechanical ease of use took a complete 180 too: the shoulder belt straps move independently of each other and the mechanism used to secure the straps are a very difficult tooth type that you can't just tug to adjust - they need to be pulled loose on one side of the buckle and then tightened on the other side, similar to a bra strap; there is no longer a single strap in the front to pull the shoulder straps tight - it has to be done in the back of the seat where you have to mess around with that stupid metal buckle again... every time you take your baby out or put her back in and need to adjust the straps!
Bottom line: The overall feel of this seat is cheap. Things are hard enough with a newborn without having to do extra work to make them safe. This seat is a burden and I would never recommend it.
