Graco SafeSeat Infant Car Seat - Eclipse
The new Infant SafeSeat™ (Step 1) is one of the only Infant Carriers on the Market that will accommodate a child rear-facing up to 30 lbs. and 32 inches tall. Thus fitting 97% of one year olds which is very important as children must remain in a rear-facing car seat until they reach One Year A…

Safety concern be gone!

5 stars
5out of 5

Pros: Comfortable, Sturdy, Safe

Cons: Heavy

Best Uses: Back Seat, Infants

Reviewer Comments: If anyone is concerned about the safety of a car seat, this one will give you peace of mind. My 5 month old son and I were rear-ended at 75 mph (we were going 35 mph) by a drunk driver…in the middle of the day, no less! My car spun around and was also side-swiped on the passenger side where my son was strapped in, and we landed in a ditch (car was totaled). This car seat held my baby in tightly and securely…so much so that he escaped with very minor injuries (he had scrapes on his neck from the glass shards, but that had nothing to do with the car seat). This car seat saved my son’s life.

As to other features, I agree with the other reviews in that this seat is heavy and cumbersome. However, I gave it a 5-star rating for safety and design (easy to assemble). I’ve already recommended it to a friend of mine who is expecting her first child. In fact, we had to destroy the car seat that was in the accident (even though there was no visible damage), and we ordered this same seat again. Hopefully no one will have to put this seat to the test as I did; but, if safety is a concern of yours, this is the right car seat. :o)
