The Graco Safe Seat is a great infant seat. It is larger than most seats so it lasts longer. from Amazon.com She's only 4 months old, but we have to make a 6 hour trip for a family emergency, and this is so not a good time to be sacrificing her comfort or our sanity. As for getting her around in stores, I discovered that manufacturers of car seats have disclaimesr in fine print stating their seat should not be used as infant carriers as there is a risk of the child falling or overheating (which can be rapidly fatal). I usually use a baby carrier (BabyHawks and Ergos are awesome), a nice stroller (love the Graco Metrolite), or I actually carry my daughter in my arms (she fits securely in one arm while cradled on my hip). All three of these methods appear to be way more convenient (and safer) than carrying an infant carrier. from Amazon.com We have used different car seats in the past from Chicco to Graco Snug Ride. We have an older car that does not have the "latch" system. from Amazon.com I purchased the car seat and matching double stroller. I have a 3 year old & another little girl due in September & the pattern is so dainty & fits little girls so well without being to much. My sister had the Graco safety seat with her last baby & said it was well worth the money so I proceeded to look into it, which come to find out it's one of the safest seats out there. The stroller is very spacious & folds just as small as my single Graco one did with my first daughter. from Amazon.com We own the Grace Infant Safeseat in Ionic (the blue/gray/black pattern) and since this is our second child we knew what features we were looking for this time around and what to avoid. When my daughter was born, we were given a Graco SnugRide as a gift and found it to be very basic. from Amazon.com the mesh covering the back of the padding (facing the seat, not the baby) will melt! ~We have the Soho pattern. Might not be the same situation for all, but I noticed the Rittenhouse description says Graco *recommends* "hang for drying." Seems silly that they don't just use a heat-resistant lining. Anyway, just wish someone had warned me first, so here you go! from Amazon.com This is a beautiful carseat. I purchased the Graco Safe Seat in the portica line. I absolutely loved the base, the fabric, the sturdiness of the seat, BUT WHERE IS THE SLACK????? from Amazon.com We just recieved our Graco SafeSeat in the Rittenhouse pattern. Just thought I'd add two specific comments directed toward those shopping on-line. from Amazon.com My husband and I debated long and hard between the Safe Seat and the Graco Snugride. We ended up picking the Safe Seat because of its versatility (it could handle babies 5-30 pounds rather than 5-22, and up to 32 inches long rather than 29), its safety (one comparison website said that the Safe Seat had Side Impact Protection and the Snugride didn't), and its reviews. from Amazon.com I highly recommend the Graco Safeseat as it kept my (at the time) 11-week old son safe and undamaged when our little family was in a recent car accident. We were hit by a truck that slid through a red light and spun us, and then the forse drove us into a tree. from Amazon.com
