The Graco SnugRide is a reasonable option for families of all sizes. It is a great combination of crash protection, features and usability, including a front belt adjuster and adjustable base (in certain models). It is also compatible with a wide range of strollers. However, it has several problems. The seat is very tippy especially when fitted with the belt in the rear. This could cause it to loosen and need to tighten over time.

The Graco GragRide is not as great in other areas, such as comfort and quality. The fabric is a bit more plasticky and the padding is thinner than other infant car seats. This is the only one of our top picks that doesn't offer a head support insert for smaller children which is a shame since it could reduce the chance of injury to some babies.
