Customer Reviews

I spent a long time looking for the right carseat for my 2nd baby. It took multiple trips to BRU and buybuybaby before I finally settled on Graco's Snugride 30 in Lotus fabric.
Pros:
- Nicely padded
- Lighter than most carseats, including the Keyfit 30
- Extra large canopy
- Seat buckles securely and quickly
- Straps are easy to adjust
- Fabric is good quality, resists staining, and doesn't cause the baby to sweat
- Not as wide as other models...we tested the Chicco Keyfit 30 and the Safety1st Onboard 35 Air in our Vibe. The Snugride 30 was by far the best fit in the back. We didn't have to move our front seats all the way forward, and there's still enough room in the back to seat another passenger even with the Snugride 30 and my older daughter's Britax Marathon side by side.
- Not as pricey as the Keyfit but just as safe
Cons:
- The infant insert didn't last long. By the time the baby turned a month old, it was smooshing her ears. Not a dealbreaker, though, as it's easy to replace with any of the separate inserts you can find at BRU, Target, or Walmart.
Very pleased with Graco offering this product as a balance between the regular 22-lb. weight limit Snugride (too small) and the Snugride 35 (too bulky). I also like the gender-neutral Lotus design for its simplicity and sleekness; great alternative to the other kiddy pattern designs that flood the market. Awesome carseat, all in all!

We purchased the Graco Snugride 30 in Lotus for our newborn baby a few months ago. We purchased it online so we were unable to feel the fabric prior to purchase. The fabric is quite rough for an infant car seat. The horribly rough fabric has caused rashes on our baby's skin. We immediately replaced the strap protectors with a much softer strap protector made by a different company. Once the strap protectors were replaced our son's neck rash healed. However, he continued to break out in horrible rashes on the back of his head and neck because his skin was still making contact with the car seat fabric in these areas. This rash travelled down the back of the neck to his back. He has been on Benadryl and prescription creams for treatment and he is in such discomfort. The rash on his neck became infected and he was treated with antibiotics. Now that we know the problem he will not be riding in this car seat! This car seat is not worth the $ nor the health/wellbeing of our baby!
