Does the Graco SnugRide SnugFit Elite rear-face longer than other infant seats?

24 of the 97 infant seats we track rear-face to a higher weight than its 30 lb. The highest is the Baby Jogger City GO 2 at 35 lb. NHTSA: stay rear-facing "until he or she reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer." (NHTSA)

Is the Graco SnugRide SnugFit Elite heavy to carry?

With a 7.5 lb newborn inside you'd lift about 17.3 lb, and that grows as your baby does. The carrier is lighter than 27% of the infant seats we track. See the lightest infant seats.

Can you use the Graco SnugRide SnugFit Elite in a taxi or Uber without the base?

Graco doesn't list a baseless install, so plan on bringing the base. See infant seats that install without a base.

Is it OK to buy a used SnugRide SnugFit Elite?

NHTSA publishes guidance on used car seats on its car seat page. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
