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 Graco Infant SafeSeat, Step 1 (Ionic), stay-in-car base.

Do not buy this car seat! January 6, 2009 I loved this seat at first, since it was so safe and comfy for my baby. It was heavy and awkward, as other reviewers have noted, but it still seemed worth it for the added safety and durability. It was also great to have one seat with a base in each car. The problem arose when my baby got tall enough that we needed to adjust the shoulder straps to the their highest slot. After that adjustment, there was no longer enough slack around the waist and we were crushing our baby, who weighed only 19 pounds. There was no possible way to get any more "give" out of the available length of the straps. I don't understand how this seat can accommodate babies up to 30 pounds, unless they're also very short. Overall, we paid a lot of money for a car seat and two bases that were only usable for 8 months when we had hoped they'd last for the entire first year. We replaced the seat with convertible seats for both our cars so we wouldn't have to buy yet another new set of car seats when we reach the one-year mark. How disappointing!
Great Move Up From The Snug Ride January 6, 2009 My family has been in 2 car crashes (both at holiday times, no less!) in the past couple of years, but thankfully, I'd done my homework, and our kids came out fine each time (Both crashes were at about 35mph, and our van was totaled in the 2nd crash if that explains the severity). Graco was there to protect them. My youngest was in a Snug Ride, but we've now moved him up to this seat.
It was a pain figuring our the very different strap configuration, but once we did, it's been easy to remember. He is very comfortable in it, and the seat pad is made of nice, soft material that washes well (he's already "christened" it). It is a little heavier than I was used to with the Snug Ride, however it feels sturdier and had a 8 lb higher weight limit, so that may be partly why. Also the handle adjusts more easily and not as noisily as the Snug Ride always did (I've owned 4 different ones). I was a firm Snug Ride ONLY mama, but I've now been won over by the Safe Seat.
great seat! December 22, 2008 My son is 4 weeks old and has been enjoying his seat. He isn't one bit fussy in it and it is realy easy to lock into place! My only complaint is that it seems a bit on the heavy side. Other than that, its great and my husband and I are happy with it.
Great Looking Car Seat! December 21, 2008 Love this car seat. Very soft and beautiful colors. Looking forward to purchasing the matching double stroller after Christmas.
Great product..... December 14, 2008 I read the reviews before I bought this product and I am glad I did. It was exactly what I needed. However, my daughter will outgrow this seat before long. Be mindful if you are having a big baby. My bundle of joy was 9 lbs, 12 ounces and I will be needing to get a new seat very soon. Otherwise, great product!
