Happy So Far...
March 7, 2015
My review can't be based off of usage cause baby isn't born yet, I can comment on the look alone. I wanted something for a girl that wasn't purple, pink, floral etc. this was a great choice. It's a stunning color, plush, doesn't just look expensive I believe it'll prove to be worth the cost. We live in AZ but the boot cover is liked as well. We're impressed w/ how much coverage the canopy offers & has a window. Much better than having to hang a blanket! Albee employee was fantastic on helping me w/ an issue we had. I even asked about the manufacturing date & her professional response assured me that I wasn't being 'taken' as a customer. So far happy customer!

The carseat was very nice and baby looked comfortable. The lighter material was a little slippery though.

lightweight carseat!
July 24, 2014
We bought this carseat for our first son. It is very light, so when I have to carry it with a baby in it, it's not super heavy like other carseats. It is easy to buckle and unbuckle. The extra blanket is also very helpful during winter time. The down side of this carseat, it's not so easy to clean, thus 4 stars.

Nice upgrade of the SnugRide 22 at a good price!
January 30, 2014
I used a SnugRide 22 for my previous two children, but wanted something a little nicer for my third. I still had two bases from the first SnugRide, so I wanted another 22. This is a great car seat. The padding is much better than with the regular SnugRide 22's. This is also the only SnugRide 22 that has a front belt adjuster - a huge plus. The baby isn't here yet, so I can't give it a full review but I think this car seat will be exactly what I was looking for. Albee Baby had this car seat at the cheapest price on the internet.

Perfect for our needs
January 31, 2012
This car seat fits our needs perfectly. I wanted an affordable lightweight 22 max car seat with good safety ratings, nice padding and user friendly features. The Graco models I played with in stores felt cheap, but reviews on the Platinum mention it being better quality than other Snugrides. I bought the Platinum sight unseen and I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality, but keep in mind it's not a luxury seat. When it comes to adjustability (compared to $200+ seats) this is like having manual car locks/windows vs. automatic. Hooking it up and adjusting the angle isn't as easy as more expensive seats, but once you set it up you don't have to worry about it again. However, IMO the padding and "look" is on par with more expensive seats.The seat clicks into the base effortlessly and is even easier to take out of the base. The boot tucks nicely around baby's feet and serves its purpose. The handle lowers and raises easily and the canopy isn't impeded by the handle. I do not carry my baby in the car seat for long periods, so I can't review that aspect... the only time he's in the seat outside the car is if I need to click him into the stroller to run a quick errand. This is a very nice seat and will suit us well until it's time to upgrade to a high quality convertible. P.S. I turned the boot inside out so it's black instead of Platinum and I actually prefer the look. Also, I despise the huge warning label next to the baby's head.
Pros
  • Lightweight
  • Padded well
  • Nice canopy w/ window
  • Black plastic instead of grey/beige
  • Included cold weather boot
  • Sophisticated color scheme
  • Affordable for short-term use
Cons
  • Fabric might snag easily
  • HUGE warning label next to baby's head

Best carseat!
January 9, 2012
When my first child was born I borrowed this carseat from a friend. I made up my mind that for the next baby I'm buying one. That's exactly what I did and it was the best thing I did.?

great car seat!!

Let me begin by saying that as far as being a comfortable and safe place for your baby, this is a wonderful car seat! It has padding underneath and a nice soft fabric to keep your baby comfortable. If your baby cries when put in this car seat it is most likely because they either want to be held or don't want to be restrained by straps. I can't possibly see this seat as ever being uncomfortable. It holds your baby in a nice position and snugly, even for a newborn. The straps are easy to adjust with one pull of the tether located near the baby's feet.The only negative things I have to say about it are relatively minute to me, but may matter to some. The first of these being that the carrying handle often interferes with the canopy when changing it into its lowest position for riding in the car. It is a small nuisance that the canopy sometimes gets pulled down with the carrying handle and you have to shove it back through if you still want it to shield your baby from the sun. Again, a small issue. The other issue that I have with this car seat would be the cold weather cover/boot that comes with it. While it hooks on nicely at the sides, the bottom of it doesn't seem to either have the elastic or the shape to hold it in place. I didn't mind this so much because I typically just cover the lower part of the baby with a snug blanket anyway.I should also mention that I am no stranger to car seats. This is my third child and first time using this brand of car seat. Also, I have used this car seat through both winter and extreme summer weather, and my 8 month old baby girl has been fine through all of it. Hope this helps!
Pros
  • ease of use
  • comfortable
  • safe ride
Cons
  • interfering canopy
  • weather cover/boot doesn't stay attached well

Great carseat!

We have a Peg Perego Pliko in Moka and bought this carseat to go with it. Without ever seeing it, we decided to order it. It is a perfect match and came just after 3 days of ordering. We are very happy with our purchase!

Nice car seat, but hate the canopy
August 10, 2008
This is a very comfy car seat, but I hate the canopy because it has a "peek-a-boo" window on the top of it. When I take my newborn out for a walk, the sun shines through and hits him straight on the head. It makes no sense to me. I am in the process of finding out if Graco has had other complaints about this. Otherwise, I'll have to put tape over it or something to keep the sun out.
