I went back and fourth between the Chicco and Snugride. I am SO glad I choose the Platinum Snugride car seat ! The material is phenominal ! I love the boot that comes with this carseat. Very easy to install ! This was the perfect choice !

its a good product... only little complaint i have is that the buttons to swivel the handle are a bit squeaky and hard to press sometimes, might be a little 'lemon' on the product... bought this for my first baby... my baby was about 6.5lbs when we first put her into it... and it was a little big on her... her head wasn't firmly set on the head area of the seat... u might have to buy some side cushions at first until she grows a little bigger for the seat so her head doesn't move all over the place... otherwise it's a very sturdy and good car seat.. it does come with the car seat base, altho i was told when i called the customer service that i had to buy a separate car seat base... now i have two... not expected but still could use a second car seat base if u have two cars so u don't have to keep moving one car seat base back and forth each car... or just give it to the grandparents for them to use when theyre baby sitting!

There were such good reviews on this and it had all the features that I was looking for or supposed to look for. But what wasn't mentioned anywhere is that the padding is minimal. Haven't found any safe or legit solution to that because most are not safety crash tested by the car seat company. If you like cush for your little one's tush then you shd go for SnugRide 32 or 35 & if you want to go outside of Graco then go for Chico Keyfit. The Graco website does have a good features comparison among their offerings. And like I said, this has every feature that I wanted but for the padding.
