    Editorial Review
    From the moment you bring your new baby home from the hospital, you want to be sure that she'll be as safe as possible. Laws now require that babies from birth to age one be seated in a rear-facing car seat. The Graco SafeSeat Infant Car Seat, Step 1 (Ionic) offers a cost-effective and maximally safe choice: it is designed to accommodate up to 97 percent of one-year-olds, holding children up to 30 pounds and 32 inches in height, and it is especially constructed with safety and convenience in mind. The SafeSeat also doubles as an infant carrier.

    The Graco SafeSeat Infant Car Seat, Step 1 (Ionic) offers:
  • Accommodation for children up to 30 pounds and 32 inches in height.
  • LATCH compatible for easy installation on new vehicles.
  • Meets and exceeds safety standards.
  • Compatible with many Graco strollers.


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.

4 Star Rating  "Great seat, but make sure it fits in your car"2008-09-21
- Reviewed By treeheadb
This is a great carseat, it's one of the top safety rated seats, and that's why I got it. The only problem with it is that it's very large. We drive a Subaru Forrester ('02) and the only place the seat would fit was in the middle of the backseat. Now most of you know this is where they recommend you put a car seat, so it worked out fine, but you'll want to make sure this will fit in your car before you purchase.

I have to say that this is a GREAT car seat! I have a 3 year old that we had spent extra $$ on buying her a Combi infant car seat in hopes of letting our future kids use it. And unfortunately when I took it down to wash for my son (while pregnant) the padding dissolved. So the search began for a new seat. I originally bought the Baby Trend and felt that it was cheap and too small (my son was 8+lbs on the ultrasound before delivery) so I took it back and found the SafeSeat. This seat is great because my rather large infant has time to grow into it (he is 16+ lbs and just turned 4 months) since the weight limit is around 30lbs instead of 23lbs, it is cute as can be, and he loves it. Only complaint is it is Heavy - but is that my son or the seat? :)

My daughter LOVES this car seat.

We had a Graco SnugRide when we had my first son and he loved it. My parents gave me a different SnugRide with a matching double stroller when we had my second son. He hated the car seat. He would cry from the second we put the car seat with him in it in the car to the second we took the car seat out. My M-I-L said it was because he didn't like riding backward. Sure enough when we switched him to the Britax when he was 20 lbs and a year old he was fine.

My daughter used the same SnugRide as my second son for her first 4 months. She did the same thing, she cried from the second I put her in the car to the second I took her out. I mean really crying. It was awful. We drove 5 hours for a summer vacation and we couldn't take it. Not even sitting next to her distracting her helped. My M-I-L said she was the same as my second son but this time I wasn't so sure.

I read all the reviews on Amazon for cheap car seats all the way to the super expensive ones. The SafeSeat had the best reviews so we went ahead and ordered it and had it shipped to our hotel 2nd day for only a few dollars extra.

Well she LOVES it. She is content to ride in it and sometimes even falls asleep in it. What a huge difference. Riding in the car is pleasant for everyone now :).

Maybe the second SnugRide was just uncomfortable. It didn't feel bad there was nothing poking her, but there must have been something, maybe the way she rested in it. Not sure. My poor second son.

Anyway, we love this car seat. The only thing we don't really like is the plastic window in the canopy that allows you to see the baby. I get why it is there but right now it is summer and the poor sun beats down on her little head, so we just cover it with a blanket. Problem solved.

So we love this car seat. It seems more roomy and we like the color. It doesn't get super hot when we leave it in the car since the padding and the straps are a silver color and not black like the last two Graco's we had. I highly recommend it.

I was looking for the new version car seat that allows up to 30lbs.With the new law about rear facing until one year I wanted to make sure I only had to purchase one until I purchase the bigger foward facing carseat. This one is perfect, I bought it for my grandson, my Daughter loves the color scheme. It is black and silver mostly with a tiny bit of blue. Love the new harness closure system (bigger buttons).

- Reviewed By kellyhodges
We bought this seat fo baby #3 to replace the SnugRide we loved for our first two. Both of our girls had to move up to a convertible seat by 6 months, and we are hoping to avoid that this time around. This seat is HUGE, so I suspect we will make it, but it comes with the associated trade offs. It is heavy, even empty. So as your baby grows, you will need to throw it in a stroller or leave it in the car if you are taking it any real distance. But for me, having the option to leave a sleeping baby in the bucket, far outweighs any inconvenience caused by the weight.

Things I was worried about:

It does not fit that great in grocery carts...but it does fit and I feel relatively safe with him in it (he doesn't like the angle it keeps him at, however, so we don't do long trips together).

It works fine in the Kolcraft Snap N Go.

It is not too big for newborns...in fact, he looked more snug than either of my first two in their SnugRide.

It does what I wanted it to do (eliminate the need for me to have 2 different rear facing car seats, and provide me with a place to keep a sleeping 8 month old if I need one), so I would buy it again but if you are a person that likes to be able to carry the bucket around or want to be able to put it in shopping carts, I'd try it out in a store first.
 
5 Star Rating  "One of the best purchases ever!"2008-07-07
- Reviewed By radchukolesya

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.

- Reviewed By User: AAQ988JYCZL1P
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.

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.

The seat is a little on the unwieldy side but I guess that is the price you pay for the extra length and weight it supports.

Also, some options such as loosening the straps take a little bit of work to find and needs some getting used to.
