The SafeSeat Car Seat doubles as an infant carrier. View larger. | Designed for Safety
With the SafeSeat, you can be sure that your baby is as secure as can be: this model meets or exceeds US safety standards, including the U.S. Compliance Standard FMVSS 213; the Side Impact ISO Method; the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), with peak Crash Force approximately twice the Car Seat Standard; and the test for Extreme Car Interior Temperatures. Your baby will ride in protected comfort with the patent-pending five-point harness, the plush padded seat built with EPS energy-absorbing foam, and a specially designed, removable infant head and neck support that's compatible with the seat's safety design. A 180-degree adjustable canopy shields baby from sun and glare. Built For Convenience
The Infant SafeSeat comes with a stay-in-car base, allowing the car seat to be quickly, conveniently installed and removed to double as an easy-to-use infant carrier. The stay-in-car base can be installed with an innovative seat belt lock design and adjustment dial that makes it easy to secure the base tightly; it's also LATCH equipped for installation into newer-model vehicles. Once the base is installed, simply snap the car seat into the base, and remove it with the push of a button to use it as a carrier. A sturdy, uniquely designed handle makes it easy and safe to carry the carrier on your arm, and it makes transporting your fragile newborn and sleeping older infants all the easier. The SafeSeat is also compatible with many Graco strollers; simply snap the seat out of your vehicle, into your stroller, and go. About Graco
In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on. What's in the box

 One of the best purchases ever! July 7, 2008
This is one of my best purchases ever. This car-seat is not much heavier than Chico or any other brands. I have been managing carrying it with a baby pretty well (I am 5'5", 120 lbs lady). It has a side protection, head support, very convenient adjustable harness (they are not twisting, easy locking/unlocking, has three steps to adjust for different age...). I would like my baby to stay in an infant car-seat as long as it is possible, I would like to hold off dealing with convertible car-seats as long as it is possible. My baby is 1 year 2 months, he weights 26 lbs (pretty big boy) - but he still fits this car-seat perfectly. He likes it very much! We have already purchased a convertible RECARO Signo, but do not rush to install it into the car. I love this Graco Safe Seat as I can grab my little one being in the car-seat and place into a shopping cart for just one sec. I love it b/c of three different ways to install it - latch system, belt with base or belt without base. I prefer to use the base - one click and you are ready to go! At the same time if it turns that my husband or nanny has to pick up the child, I don't need to worry about a car-seat. They can use it without the base easily. I saw bad reviews on this Safe Seat car-seat in the baby bargain book and still do not understand why this great product was given such a low mark "C"...Well, go figure... I also forgot to mention that this car-seat is usable with no problem with almost any strollers you see in the market. If you are a decent person, with two hands, two legs, in a good healthy shape and looking for a great car-seat which is worthy the money - Graco Safe Seat is for you (and your little one). Based on my experience - it is a very good car-seat and I will definitely recommend it to everybody! Thanks.
Great for bigger babies June 23, 2008
Our baby boy has never been little, we started out w the graco snugride but by 3 mos our son was at the 22 lb limit. We liked the convenience of the detachable seat and decided to get the safeseat. Im so glad that we did and now our son can still see us while in his graco stroller and we dont have to wake him if he falls asleep in the car. I reccomend this carseat to those with older babies because the head support isnt as great as the snugride. It was easy to install in the car and there is a great feature that keeps the seatbelt in place across the base if your car doesnt have anchors. All in all this seat has been great.
Very Happy June 23, 2008
I love my new car seat. This is the third infant carrier I've owned and it is by far my favorite. Things I love about it - easy to adjust strap tightness, fits infants to 30 lbs., seems comfortable to infant, easy to clean fabric, light color to reflect light, infants head doesn't flop when sleeping, comfortable handle, easy to put into and get out of car, carseat base secures into car well, great price for quality, can be used with our old double graco stroller although it fits very tight. Things to consider - it is bigger than other carseats (but it still fits in our Camery with backless booster seat on each side, it was difficult to buckle in a newborn since the chest buckle is so big. I don't think it's too heavy or big to carry around. I'm very happy with the quality of the safe seat.
 Does the job but could be improved further June 23, 2008
Pros:
Extra size and weight support
Ease of use
Little guy seems to be comfortable during the drive
Cons:
Have to be a little careful when the clip-in portion (which is made of metal)is released.
Little on the unwieldy side and needs the front seat on a mid-sized sedan (Honda Civic 2007) to be pushed well up front in order for the baby seat to fit in the back.
Some options such as loosening the straps not very intuitive
So Soft May 20, 2008
Just recived this car seat. I love the color and the car seat is very soft. I would buy again.
