The Dilemma Between Britax and Graco Snugride 35
We personally were choosing between Graco Snugride 35 and Britax when we were shopping, but ended up with Graco. Not like there is anything wrong with Britax, except that it’s a little bit pricey like all Britaxes (right?), but what we saw can make a good review for the Graco car seat. Also, we thought that we would like to compare the fifth that the fifth model with the previous one is, the ones that had the weight limit of 22 lbs only.
The Pros
- -Ease of installation and use. If you compare it to the older models that had 22 lbs restriction barrier, the 35th version is definitely much better. For those who don’t know, the previous model had the straps that could have been adjusted only from the back – some people were literally outraged by this!
-As we have said, it is compatible with most other Graco strollers, as well as other Graco products like SnugGlider. - -Incredibly soft and sturdy the padding and design.
- -One of the most eye-catching feature is the 35 lbs weight limit. Moreover, the car seat is pretty high, too. Most other car seats will have 30 lbs weight limit only, or even 22. With 35 lbs, your baby can use the car seat for many months more, resulting in saving of your money.
- -Also, if you compare the height of Graco and other car seats, Graco SnugRide 35 is taller than most other seats – another point for how long this car seat can be used
- -The side protection system. Safety of our dear baby is definitely the top priority, and anything that contributed to additional assurance and decreased risks, on top of the safety standards imposed by the officials, was a very good thing.
- -It fits extremely firmly into the base – secure and safe. Graco 35 has this “foot” at the base that is adjusted with the knob – you can move the foot downwards, and by twisting the knob you tighten the base and the car seat extremely snugly, so to speak, into the car – it literally doesn’t move more than an inch, or even a millimetre!
- -Well, this is additional and may be a bit superfluous, but colors!! They are nice
. - -Lastly, Price. This is one of the main reasons why a lot of parents prefer Snugride 35 – the quality is definitely on par with other great infant car seats, like Britax, for the lower price the car seat demands. (Although Britax car seats are notorious for their high prices – not saying that their car seats are bad in any manner, though!)
The Cons
- -It is definitely one of the heavier of the car seats. Since it accommodates infants up to 35 lbs, the car seat had to be made heavier than the previous model with 22 lbs weight capacity. If you’re planning to use Graco SnugRide 35 to run around the park with your baby, then please reconsider . Okay, joking aside, it’s not a really serious con for us. You can definitely carry your baby from the car to a supermarket and back in Graco SnugRide 35, without too much effort. It is just a few pounds heavier than its previous model and other car seats, anyway.
- -It is a bit wide.

I’m a mom of 4, so I’ve been around some carseats in my day. There is NO perfect carseat that I have found, they all seem to have a few glitches here or there that could use some improvement, but of the ones I have tried/owned…this is by far one of my favorites.

I really like the quality of this car seat. I bought the red/gray combination, there were no funny smells and I really like the style of the seat and the quality of the material.
