The last Graco car seat I purchased was a Snugride 22. It was for my first baby who is now 7 years old. It served me well then but it had some quirks that were a little annoying at times. Enter the Snugride Click Connect 35 LX Infant Car Seat and boy have you come a long way baby! My current baby is now 6months and I'm really liking this seat. Graco has taken it up several notches and it shows in the quality and user-friendly features of this seat. First, for seat of this quality it is very lightweight and compact. I have installed it in a Honda Odyssey and a Toyota Corolla and it fits beautifully behind the seat in front of it ( I am 5'9 and I have the seat set a long way back). I am also able to install it in a three across on the back seat of the Corolla - it is that compact. The installation is quick, easy and rock solid. My son seems comfortable in the seat and I love the overall look. I'm not a big fan of cutesy and its hard to find a car seat that is gender neutral in look and still stylish. The black and white stripe is very classy looking and could be used for a boy or a girl. I'm not sure what kinds of fabric is used on the part directly behind the baby's head but it is really nice and soft. Its different from the plastic-y, vinyl fabrics other car seats use. It also seems to help keep my baby cooler because he was sweated less in this seat (and he is a very sweaty baby!). I love, love the no rethread adjust harness (cue the hallelujah chorus!). I've used other brands of car seat that require having to rethread the harness every single time the baby growsn and its a pain in the bum because it seems like the little boogers are growing every day. With this seat you just squeeze and slide to adjust - so easy! The harness is easy to secure and tightens and loosens easily. I don't know if this is typical of Graco but I did notice that everything that was moveable or adjustable is in red. This is really helpful in knowing what button to push/pull to adjust things. Another things I also like about this seat that I haven't seen in other seats is that there is an extra peek-a-boo window in the back of the seat that opens and allows airflow through the seat. It you have a hot sweaty baby like I do this feature is golden. I also like it for peeking in to see if he is sleeping without him seeing me. Overall, I would highly recommend this seat to anyone shopping for a new infant seat. The quality is great, its stylish to tote around with you, its super user friendly and you can rest assured that Graco has made it as safe as it can possibly for your precious baby.
