Cute, but not soft or cushiony at all!

I purchased the Safety 1st car seat in Orchard and loved it. It was SO plush and just a really nice seat! The problem is, I have a Graco SnugRider stroller I want to use again and that car seat didn't work with it. So I returned the Safety 1st car seat and ordered this one which looked like a great deal. It came in and the pattern was much like most say, muted in color which I was alright with. When I took it out of the box and felt the fabric I wanted to cry (blame the hormones). It is very stiff/rough and has no cushion to it at all which I will try to make up with by adding some infant padding. I just don't want to return another seat or spend a great deal more for one that I would prefer. He will outgrow it soon enough and for the price, it will do. If you want soft and cushy, don't buy this car seat. Otherwise, you get what you pay for. Also, no tabs to attach the cover to the frame. Just elastic that fits around the seat.
Great Product

We are expecting our bundle from heaven in about 2 weeks from today, so can’t say much, put I receive product is perfect in color, and easy to assemble very light weight which will be good for me since I won’t be able to carry anything heavy after my c-section. I definitely recommend product, and for the price perfect.
Very Lovely

We bought this product just a little while ago, and we haven't used it yet as our baby isn't due for a few months. We've had a Graco infant car seat before and loved it which is why we chose a Graco again. The design is very pretty and a nice color combo for our boy. It's not too heavy and easily fits in our 4 door sedan with no problems. The fabric isn't too rough in my opinion and it provides a nice amount of padding. The only thing is the head "rest"/protecter insert, is a joke. It will be a great thing to use once the baby can hold his own head up and just needs something to keep his head from falling over when he's asleep. We bought the head support insert that you find at different stores to put in this car seat, and it fits great and still leaves a good amount of room in the car seat.
Great Graco

I've bought a Graco infant car seat before for my first few kids and needed a new one. I figured another Graco would be best, this is another great Graco buy! The colors aren't as vibrant as in the picture but you want a safe car seat, thats what matters, the colors are still cute though, I'm very happy! The car seat comes easily out of the base with the click of a button, the visor easily covers baby, it seems comfy. The fabric is fine in my opinion but reading other reviews of "harder" fabric...just throw it in the washing machine a few times and it'll soften. I'm glad I went with another Graco infant car seat, can't be beat for the price!
Not as good quality as I expected.

At first it was good. I love that it works so well with the stroller, but when it came time to wash it, it faded, and some of the seams came undone. I just washed it on regular cycle, and it just didn't hold up as well as the other fabric. As some others have mentioned the fabric is different than other graco carseats. The color is now slightly different that my stroller.
A Must Have!!!

Absolutely wonderful carseat. I dread giving it up when my son grows out of it. The pattern is beautiful and is great for a girl or boy! Safe and secure, and a good buy!
Pictures don't do it justice though!

I bought this as a gift for my nephew. It is an adorable car seat for a newborn. I would recommend this car seat to anyone with a new baby. You also can't beat the 97 cents shipping cost. The total price for the car seat plus shipping was under a hundred dollars and it arrived in no time.

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
We had selected this carseat along with the stroller for the travel system for a few different reason. The color was neutral incase we wanted to use it for a girl next time, the ratings were good, and compared to the price of other travel systems, it was fair.
We had purchased this and another base at the same time, the carseat is easy to set up and looks cute but the statement "You get what you pay for" really stands out in my mind when I think about this.
The only issue I had with it was the material that the carseat is made of. Its very very rough! To me, it almost feels like denim. When it got delievered, I ripped the box open and was so excited to put it together, but then I felt the material and was instantly bummed out. My best friend was pregnant at the same time, and she had gone with the Graco Deco collections and OMG her carseat and stroller is soooo soft! I'm jealous everytime I see her set. I was able to remedy the problem by simply buying an infant insert to make it softer for my son and now that its winter here, he uses a JJ COLE BundleMe (great idea BUY ONE)
So, all in all, you get what you pay for. If I had to do it over again, I would spend the extra money and get the better system.
Not impressed

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
I'll be honest, I bought a graco snugride mostly do to hearing how great they were from reviews and such. I was unimpressed and I really didnt have unrealistic expectations. I also bought a Combi Cocorro which was twice the price naturally, but last up to 40lbs and is FANTASTIC!! I wish I would've bought two of them.
The Graco is very hard and has so little padding that I will be trying to find padding to add to it, and the Combi has a one strap tightening mechanism that is great where the Graco is a little difficult to tighten correctly.
Super Cute

This carseat is very cute. I love the colors. We bought the graco infant seat for our daughter when she was born and loved it, so we had to get another one for the new baby boy on the way. Its nice how you can just snap the seat into the car base. We bought two so we can have one for each car. It's also a VERY good price compared to some other stores selling the same exact seat.
Nice Looking Seat

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
I had read the reviews before purchasing this seat and was aware that several had commented on the fact that the seat was not the color shown online. That was and UNDERSTATEMENT LOL. I didnt mind though cause it looks more boyish than the teal color online. I was also extremely impressed with how fast I got the seat it only took 3 days! I have used Graco infant seats in the past so I know I really love them. I would recommend this seat so cute and good price :)
Handle someimes hard to release

I like the seat it looks much sturdier than other car seats that I have seen. The color is more blue lots of people think I have a baby boy instead of a girl!! We wanted something unisex for what the next baby might be. To do over I would just get pink!! The handle can be hard to squeaze in also to release the seat from the base.
Great Product

I received this car seat as a gift and love it. The canopy was a little difficult to get on but not too hard. I was recently in a car accident in which my car was totaled and I had my 3 1/2 month old son in the backseat and he came out perfectly fine with no signs he had even been in an accident. This car seat is really effective and safe. I would recommend it to anyone who has a baby. The pattern is also really cute.
Great car seat

I too was dissapointed when i saw the color of this carseat, since i have a girl. But it really is not that bad. I consider it a light tourquois so it is not blue to me. I love the seat as does my daughter. The only think I dont like, is you can onlly adjust the straps from the back.

One month after giving away my Graco Milan set, my husband and I decided to have another baby...
This is your standard Graco car seat. I love everything about it. Its something cute for boys that isn't plaid.
I like the new feature of each arm strap being individually adjusted but would have liked it more if there was a way to do it from the front of the seat and not the back.
Three things I would add. A second smaller headrest, neck guards, and straps to hold the cushion in place on the sides. I know these options are available on more expensive models (like my old Milan set) so for the price you can't beat this.
Graco is good, but changing...

I love and trust Graco products, however this carseat seems made from cheaper plastic than my last one, and the fabric seems not as soft as my last baby carseat!?!?

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
I am 37 weeks pregnant right now and I am expecting a baby girl in 3 weeks. I ordered this car seat/stroller travel system online. I was expecting it in 3-5 business days and I just received it today, 13 days later. I was very disappointed with the color. I thought by the picture online that it was a bright teal, brown and tan. I am not really into pink so much and that is why I wanted a more neutral color. When opening the box, I saw that is blue, brown and tan. I love the pattern and it does look nice. If you are expecting a boy, great choice! Like one of the other reviews, I did not like that there is a caution-warning label down the side of the fabric right by where the head rest is, about the size of a dollar bill. It just looks tacky. I am debating on whether or not to return it because I might not receive the new one before the baby arrives. Hope this helps.
Perfect Boy Car Seat

We purchased graco infant car seat for our daughter 2+ years ago, so we knew when we needed to buy another one (hers was pink & black- def couldn;t reuse) for our little boy- it had to be graco. Still the same great quality and the pattern is perfect. The blue is beautiful- unlike what some other posts mentioned. We also paired it with the stone colored bundle me and it is a perfect compliment!
If and when we have a 3rd--- I will def buy another graco!
Love the carseat....

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
When I got the carseat the only thing I had to do was put the canopy together and attach it to the carseat. The assembly of the canopy was the only thing I didn't like about the carseat. I felt like you had to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to put it together.. The instruction book doesnt have a very good diagram on showing how to put it together.
GREAT DEAL, love everything about it!

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
I looked through every website you could think of to find a good deal on a car seat, and this was the best by FAR for a new seat. It's Graco, which says a lot itself, they're guality made. I was worried about it not having the front adjusting harness strap, but it adjusts quite easily from the back. I LOVE the colors, they're not quite as bright as the picture shows, plenty of light blue, sage green, and brown. The fabric I love because it's easy to clean and it's not the "sticky" kind of fabric that clings to your baby in the summer and makes them sweaty. The cover would probably stay in place a bit better if it strapped to the car seat shell, but even though it doesn't, it still stays in place pretty good I think. Overall, this is a fantastic deal!
Great!

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
This is a great carseat. I love the colors! (Sage, aqua, tan, and mocha.) My son seems comfortable sitting in it. In fact he usually falls asleep and stays asleep in it. The head support probably wont be enough for a newborn(we had to add our own), but now that my son is a couple months old it fits him better. It is heavy for me to carry with him in it, but this was the lightest carrier I could find. I guess you wouldn't want it too light for safety reasons though. Seems very sturdy and durable. The straps are easy to re-adjust as he grows and they came pre-installed! I'd buy it again and again!
Very Dissapointed

When ordering this car seat I chose this one because we have used this brand before and was very pleased. This time I was very upset because it said the color was blue and the color is not blue at all it is green. It is supposed to be for infants and the fabric is very rough for a newborns skin. Very Very DISSAPOINTED!!! :-(
Good

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
I was searching for car seat for a long time and picked this one mostly because it is very lightweight. I like the colors and pattern. It easy attaches/detaches to/from the base. What I do NOT like: not enough padding, handle gets stuck sometimes, upper buckle is not comfortable to use, car seat does not fit behind the driver's seat in compact car.
Just as nice as the step above

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
The color of the actual set is much duller than the photo, but I think that it is even better that way for a boy. It is very easy to use and the stroller sets up much quicker than the model that is a grade up from this one.

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
I am very pleased with this seat. As mentioned in other reviews, the fabric is quite rough. But it is very durable and repels spills (and spit-ups!) very well. The color is a bit more muted than that pictured but is very cute. Extremely easy to get into and out of base! Harness straps adjust from the back which I have not found inconvenient. In my car there is enough room between my front seat and the car seat to be able to adjust the straps without difficulty. The "level indicator" is very helpful in installing the seat in the appropriate reclined position. There is also an adjustable foot on the base to help adjust the recline.
Loved it

I am still an expecting mother, yet I love the car seat. When I recieved it the color wasn't as bright as in the picture it was more neurtral. Thats what made me love it. It fits that of a boy. The color choices are perfect together. My sister put it together real easy and everything seems like it will be easy to manage when the baby gets here. Overall I am excited with my purchase and now wish to purchase more items with this pattern.

I was disappointed when this product arrived because the fabric coloring looks nothing like it does in the picture. It's much more muted. I was hoping it would have a brighter blue color like in the picture. Instead, the coloring is very faded and hardly blue. Other than that, I am happy with the car seat.
better than it looks

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
i received this carseat as a shower gift from my mother inlaw. it was not the seat i had registered for- it looked bright turquoise w/chocolate and a touch of sage green online and looked rather cheap. but when i opened the box i was suprised to see how the blue was much more muted w/ashy brown, cream, brown, and sage green dots and stripes. much more boyish than description lets on. i was also given the matching play yard and am very pleased with the looks. i would have registered for these items had i actually known the color scheme. i'm planning to purchase the matching stroller as i am quite impressed with the seat and reviews of the stroller/system. just be aware that it is NOT turquoise & choc brown. it looks more country and toned-down than that. perfect for us!
Quality Construction

This car seat matches stroller and also attaches to stroller for younger babies unable to sit in stroller. Has a base that stays in car. Easily detaches from base to bring baby inside. The hood keeps sun out of baby's face. Has head support for younger baby that easily removes later as baby grows.
Very satisfied with this product.

I am very disappointed. The color is nothing like shown, it's very dull and faded. There's a big yellow and black warning label imprinted by the head rest, it's very visible and defeats the look. There are no straps to hold the cover in place, seems like easy to slide off. The straps can only be adjusted from the back. The fabric is rough. Overall, I regret making this purchase.

Comments about Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat Broadstreet:
I ordered this seat because it was lighter than other brands. When I received the product I was suprised at how rough the fabric was and the seat cover seems a little large for the seat and doesn't have any straps to hold down like the other models. Once I washed the seat cover it seems to be softer but I am concerened about how it holds up with no tie downs. Also other models have the quick release strap function and this one does not. If I would have noticed before I ordered I probably would have reconsidered.
