Lightweight
The Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX is one of the lightest infant seats on the market at only 7 pounds! If having a lightweight seat is important to you, then this is a great option to consider.
Seat is Good for You If:
You have a small backseat.
If you have a small back seat or tall front passengers, the Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX seat may be a good option for you. It is one of the more compact infant seats available on the market. We have some other compact options here.
You need to fit 3 across.
Most infant seats will fit in a 3 across situation, including this one since they are all around 17-17.5″ wide. For other options that fit well in a three-across configuration, check out this post.
Use Caution if:
You are expecting a small baby.
There are better options for small babies, but if you must use this seat, you’ll need to make some adjustments. The large crotch buckle depth will likely cause a gap between the baby and the crotch strap. It would be necessary to add a crotch roll if this is the case. Doing so will prevent the baby from slumping down. You will also need to change to the upper harness strap loops as shown in the manual. Make sure you remove the infant inserts (both the head and body support) by the time the baby reaches 12 pounds as indicated in the car seat’s instructions.
