Side by Side Comparison of: Graco vs The First Years vs Summer Infant

great product from Graco! a Good buy

My baby really like this graco click fold stroller with car seat. I would highly recommend this to everyone!

Easy to assemble..strong and sturdy... Our first baby came home last week from hospital in this seat and everything looks great.. she was very comfortable and easy to handle..

I bought this for a baby shower gift and it was exactly what the mother to be wanted.

I love this product, received it yesterday. The colors and design is very nice. The car seat is very light, which is what I wanted. The quality looks very good, cant wait to use it once my baby arrives) Very easy to assemble and will fit in my car. Would recommend this product to a friend. The price is very reasonable too.

Great infant bathtub. It was easy to give our baby sponge baths in this before her umbilical cord fell off, and it's been easy to do more of a submersible bath as well. It will be nice to just take the mesh part out once she out grows that part of the bathtub. It also fits perfectly in our sink for easy use. The plug on the bottom has made it easy to drain as well.

This has worked well for our grand daughter. I like the sling since she still does not sit up. The mesh sling dries very quickly. I just flip & dump water for now so I have not used the plug. Size seems to be good as well. I think it will take her through her first year with ease.

this is so crazy but believe me when i say it, i have been using this tub ever since my LO was a newborn (she is now almost 10M). the main reason why we purchased this tub was 1) it had a lot of great reviews and 2) because our house ONLY has a working stand up shower.and i can honestly see why this is best moms pick and have so many great reviews bc i love and depend on this so much during bath time!!i will seperate this by months of baby!NEWBORN:i love the sling in the bath. it's easily removable and easy to clean. after every bath i would just wring out the leftover water and hang to dry. no mold from the foam at all! there's also like a tiny bucket/container inside the bathtub which gives me easy access to her soap or wet cloth.3-4MONTHSI hate to admit but i was still using the sling at this time. i had a constant struggle where my daughter would slip sideways on the tub without the sling (only bc she wasn't able to sit up on her own yet). even though she was obviously way too big for it, just for safety, i still used the sling. her legs would be dangling out of the bathtub and her arms would flare out everywhere but it was still good! baby never rolled out of it and never came across a issue of sling breaking/tearing. or the baby being uncomfortable.5-7MONTHSso around this time, we finally took out the sling. also around this time, my daughter started to splash, tried to roll over and kept trying to eat the water. but a few toys in there helps a lot to keep her in control. there's also a more slouched position and a more upright (at the other side of the tab). at first i didn't notice it and just thought the different dents in the tub was so that it could fit on top of a sink. but nope!!! the design of this tub was so well thought of that they included a more upright position for your baby to bathe in when she's older. so awesome bc my daughter started to not like the more slouched position around 7-8months (only bc she's a very active baby and wanted to be more mobile during bath time).8-10MONTHSmy LO is a very and i mean a VERY active baby. i have caught her numerous times to climb out of the bathtub!! it happens to often that i constantly grabbing her and repositioning her back inside the tub. also, she is a long baby so her legs get cramped a lot in the bath. even though i would love to keep using his bath, i sadly have to let it go around this time...overall, this bathtub is amazing and it's truly a bathtub to keep throughout the first year of your LO (unless your LO is as active as mine haha).i'm sure if my baby wasn't so free spirited or active, i would use this all the way till she was 1. but for now, i have to look into a bigger tub. i can't believe how much i got out of this tub in he last 10M...(and with only spending less than $20!!!!)i will definitely recommend this tub to all my newly pregnant friends and will probably purchase again for the next baby!!

I love this product. My baby fits nicely in this tub. It makes bath time very easy. My son has used it since his first bath and now he is 8 months and still using it. He loves his bath time. This tub has great features -•padded "hammock/sling" which attaches easily to the tub and make it easier for you to give bath to your baby.•adjustable strap which helps to use sling as your baby grows from newborn to couple months old.•caddy to hold baby shampoo and toys.•fits very well to kitchen sink.•easy to clean.Totally recommended product for newborn to toddlars...

This is the most basic of all baby tubs, but it does the job beautifully. My son is now a very hefty 25 pound 8 month old and he still uses the toddler side with room to grow. We've used this tub with no trouble since we brought him home from the hospital. There are n fancy bell or whistles, but the infant sling keep little babies safe and comfortable. They lay down position works until baby can sit up steadily on his own and the toddler side works for anything after that. We store this tub on a hook behind the bathroom door with no trouble. I'm so glad we chose to buy this tub over anything fancier.

I think it's the perfect blend of weight, features, and price. There's a side for infants to lay back and the opposite side for babies that can sit more upright and hold their heads up. There's a harness/net that is lightweight and manufactured very well to support the weight of the baby. There's also a basket to keep clothes and soap while bathing. It fits perfectly into the sink and it's really light weight which makes it easy to put in and take out. There's also a drainage plug for easy emptying.Very basic, but does everything it needs to do well and at a super reasonable price.

love this product they only complaint is the stain resistant fabric makes babies sweat.

Overall is good quality. The only thing is that the car seat canopy is not steady when you want to fix that position, and when I tried to pull out my baby from the car seat, her head was bumped to the handle several times as the car seat was rolling after lost the balance.

The just click part is awesome. The fast action fold isn't quite as I hoped -- I mean it is easy to just pull something and it will fold, but it isn’t quite as easy to pull it again and pull out into stroller mode. I don't know if I just need more practice to the hang of it though.

Love this! Rec'd the 1st one and it was defective. The carrier would not snap into the base, but another shipped quickly. It worked great for both base and stroller!! Transaction went very well. I printed out the return sticker, for the 1st one and sent it back. No hassle or problem.

Good product. Easy to carry and move in and out from the car. Only issue on this model does it let you show automatic indicator with surface when installed in car so we have to judge manually. Similar product sold in target got this feature ....

As the baby grows bigger, it's kinda difficult for my baby to stay in place after you remove the sling. There is a middle piece to hold the baby from sliding but it usually end up being under my baby's back and it's not very comfortable for the baby so he keeps moving around. But first few months we enjoyed using it. It can fit on top of the kitchen sink so you don't have to bend over.

Worked great when she was a newborn. She's 4 months now and, while it still works, she moves a lot and ends up slouching down into the tub. There is a big bump in the center bottom that I feel is uncomfortable on her back when she does that. She doesn't whine and it's probably more my issue than hers. The bump is there for her to "sit" behind and keep her sitting higher but she's just a fidgety baby :-)

My newborn baby enjoys bathing on this tub.. Still, it's difficult to turn the baby to clean her back.. Will have to try and see once my baby's neck becomes stronger..

Great inexpensive tub for small infants. Easy to clean. However, as our daughter grew we found she would slide down in the sling (at about 12lbs). From then on it was easier to lay her down in the big tub on a bathmat to bathe her. The only downside is that if you have double sinks of unequal sizes in your kitchen, or granite counters with undermount sink this tub may not fit if you want to use it that way.

The sling that snaps onto the tub makes this product perfect for bathing my newborn. It keeps their head out of the water while still keeping them warm because most of their core is in the water. I suggest a thin plastic cup to be able to reach down to the side of the sling to rinse the baby, otherwise you will need to fill a sink/other container with water if you want to use a cup/scoop to pour water on the baby as the area between the sling and the tub is small.It is nice that there is a drain in the bottom of the tub, that makes it easy to get rid of most of the water. However, you still need to tip the tub on it's side to completely get rid of all of the water.Overall, I would recommend this baby tub especially for newborns, but is a bit big and bulky if you are short on space.

The first bathtub we bought did not work for our 6 lb baby at all. The sling in this tub made it so easy to wash her and she looks crazy comfortable resting on it. We have since moved to her sitting in the big part of the tub and she loves that too (at almost 4 months and 11lbs.) The tub fit into our kitchen sink which is a single bowl. The bottom drain is convenient to reach to drain water as needed during the bath and after you are done.The only issue we ran into was after about 2.5 months the sling started developing mildew and we weren't able to get it off. I think many people would have moved away from using the sling at that point so it probably would not be an issue, we just had a smaller than average baby who needed it for a little longer. After every bath I would wring out the sling and hang it to dry but it didn't prevent the mildew from starting to form.Overall we love this bathtub and it is perfect for the price. Just watch for mildew developing on the sling part.

You get what you pay for. It's functional, but it's fisher price quality plastic. We bought it to use when traveling. Surviving luggage check-ins at the gate so far.

the car seat is ok but the seat of the stroller itself is thin and not comfortable
i think it doesn't worth the money !!

The downside: Very heavy.

cannot get car seat to snap into stroller. Snap into car base easily

It is very good but the shade for the stroller cover just won't stay closed. So here I am pushing the stroller with one hand and the other holding shut the cover so the scorching sun would not beat down on my little one's face and eyes. Also, you cannot use it for grocery store carts because it doesn't have the base built for it. As a mother, that is the least thing you want to worry about when you are going on errands and grocery shopping. So I have to always put the carseat inside the shopping cart, inconveniently limiting space in the cart and shopping experience. Whoever designed this system needs to be fired! This is an item for moms and their baby and you thought it was ok to build a car-seat stroller system this way? I dont think so. I wanted my money back but it was too late because I had been using the carseat for a while for appointments before I used it at the supermarkets and stores to realise the faults in thi system.

This was great when our son fit in the sling. Around 3 weeks I noticed his back was in contact with the bottom lip of the tub so we took him out of the sling. He learned how to kick and splash his legs around 2 months. He manages to slip down and he also tends to kick his feet really hard at the other end of the tub. It doesn’t seem to bother him but it looks much too small and uncomfortable for him. He’s now 15+ lbs at 3 months and I think it’s time to figure out another bathing solution for him. I wish the tub was larger or the lip came up at a different angle! I can’t imagine keeping him in this tub until he weighs 25lbs.

The hammock was too tight across and didn't hang down enough so I had to pour water on baby and hold her on place. Much better now that she's out of the hammock.

I like this tub, but the padding on the little hammock doesn't dry thoroughly and sometimes smells of mildew. I've bleached it a few times, which helps, but don't like using bleach when I know my little will be in it. Otherwise, great tub

It didn't come with the sling I was supposed to have for when my daughter was a fresh newborn, and despite repeated attempts to contact, never received a response or a sling and I wasn't about to pay $18 for one that I should have received in the first place. That being said, I have my husband with me when I bathe her to help me make sure she stays upright and now that she's a couple of months old and is bigger, she fits in it without the sling even though she can't hold herself up quite yet (that's why my husband's in there to help). I'm glad we have it, and it's not heavy so it's not hassle to use, but I'm unhappy with the fact that it came incomplete and I didn't get any assistance when I tried.

Amazing until 5-6 months old. Depending on your special little one you could run out of luck with this earlier or later. It has been fantastic for about 5.5 months but now our son is too active to be contained in it. That said, our bath times in the kitchen sink have been challenging as well. I am thinking it would have been better to get the euro style tub with a handle/hump in the middle for him to grab onto to hold onto. For the $17 it was completely worth it to have a secure place to hold him while bathing for those first few precious months so i cant really hate on this bath. That said, with our son, I think something that adapts to 5+ mo plus would have more bang for the buck.

Our daughter is 3 weeks old and we have used this 4-5 times. Overall it works ok. The sling was good until her cord fell off then we decided it wasn't with messing with as it kept her out of the water in the bottom. The angled seat seems to work well and the piece in the Middle keeps her from sliding down it when reclined. The problem is the piece that keeps her from sliding down also makes it very difficult to lean her forward to wash her back and it is also in the way when you try to wash her bottom. This is the only tub we have tried and it works well enough we won't buy a different one to replace it, I would not purchase again knowing what I know now.

Its neither that great quality nor worst. The strap to pull the stroller ON/OFF isn't that strong or doesn't work so prompt.
I Don't like it, because it did collapse to the ground once.

the baby car seat's quality is not good. very very uncomfortable for the baby.

You get what you pay for. for the price it is a good set. But there are way better car seats and strollers out there. the car seat is basic. its safe and strong but there are no head cushions. the stroller is as light as it can be. easy to assemble but i always find myself kicking the bottom when im pushing it. but its a smooth ride i guess

I got this because of the positive reviews...and was/am disappointed. The canopies on the car seat and the stroller are very flawed, even annoying. The carrying handle on the car seat, that can be adjusted to be upright or horizontal is lower than the carrier canopy, so it is a struggle to move it every time. In fact, the canopy of the car seat doesn't even seem fitted to the seat itself, since the top of the seat is higher than the canopy. So the canopy on the car seat is a mess, and really difficult to use. And then on the stroller, which the car seat snaps into, the canopy just flops, it does not stay in the closed position. So, you are constantly moving it back up to its closed position to prevent the sun from hitting your baby's face. It also doesn't seem to match the height of the car seat canopy, so they clash, rather than overlap to create a "shell" like they're supposed to. I've read the manual, double checked everything, and have concluded that this is just he way this system was made. Very poorly designed, I do not recommend it. It will frustrate you.

Color is good but it doesn't have much cushion effect both in car seat as well as stroller, which I thought it has.

The quality of this bath tub is not that great. The one I received has the most crooked foam pads and scratches in the bottom. For the price it's fine

-Newborn sling did not work well to keep baby upright first few months.-Baby was a safe, ergonomic position once laying down on tub itself-Too small for toddler who is sitting upright - legs are cramped-Small holes at either side of back support (which have no practical reason for existing) collect mildew and is very difficult to keep clean-Would purchase only if space limited and even then the Stokke foldable may be better option (though much more $)-If space not an issue then consider Primo instead

This bathtub seemed just fine until I put my baby in it and realized that it does not sit high enough for the water to drain out of it. The legs are too short so the water continues to fill.

I suppose the stupid hammock thing keeps idiots from drowning a baby, but it's certainly not easy to rinse a baby off, say with plastic cups of bath water, and not make one heck of a mess (too narrow). Lower in the tub maybe, it's not all that adjustable. Basically the hammock is a PITA. And there is no padding in the tub base otherwise, so...Probably better choices out there.

I have had this tub for about three months. About half the time I give my newborn a bath, she gets freaked out by the instability of the sling. It makes her react like she's falling and cries like crazy.Plus the bottom of this tub has no grip and slides around in my bathtub where use this. Scaring her again because of the movement and noise it makes scraping against my tub.

This tub is just ok. It supports him well (we started it as soon as his cord fell off and he is 6 months now). We did not use the mesh part. My biggest rub with this tub is that water collects in some parts. If you do not tip it over and let it fully dry after each use, a slimy film will be left behind. I really feel like it should completely drain all water out. The plug has also left what looks like a rust ring on the bathtub we keep this in.Some of the crevices of the tub are kind of strange and I don't understand why they are there. Look at the pictures, there is a deep fold around either side of the head that my fingers can't even reach the bottom of, so it is hard to clean out if water does collect in there.All in all, the tub works. Baby stays reletivly in place and he does get clean. When you have a baby, you want things to be as easy as possible, and these problems are just annoying. We will be throwing this one away as soon as our son is old enough to bathe in the bathtub. For our future babies, I will be buying the PRI Euro bath, which does not seem to have the strange cavernous crevices.

I would give this zero stars if I could. Adjuster on the latch system is broken. Wife getting induced tomorrow. That's what I get for trusting Graco in a pinch. All my Graco products have problems like this. All of them are safety issues. If you're doing research, I would advise steering clear of this brand. The safety 1st brand was cheaper and has better crash test results. That's what I get for trying to match stuff we were gifted.

All fine but ultimately the problem is that I am trying to fix the car seat base but it's not getting fix at all and it keeps moving either with latch or with car seat belt ... I have tried several ways such as YouTube the booklet of the product but nothing working ... please help me since the entire car seat is useless for me

canopy is just crap in this model. Infant car seat canopy just get stuck as the canopy is taller than the handle.
The canopy on the stroller is another disaster. When you want to close both the canopy together they just collide.

Material in very cieap quality. this is priced just for the brand. If you really need good one in this brand then be ready to spend a lot and go for top model.

Clothing cover is not good. Hudi Could not move properly as well

Not at all worth the money. The base is hard to install. The carseat gets stuck in the base which in my opinion is a huge safety hazard as well as an inconvenience. The car seat is significantly heavier than other brands as well.
The stroller has a small basket, my diaper bag; which is standard size, barely fit underneath.
The worst part of the stroller is that when you fold it up, it's upside-down! The handle is down on the ground by the wheels. Which leaves you nothing to carry it by.

So I repeat, don't bother!!

I bought this because it looked very similar to one I used to have for my first born that we gave away. You can tell this is cheaply made compared to my other one. My son just seems very uncomfortable in it.

Was missing newborn sling. I am disappointed because that's why I bought the tub.. it's supposed to come with the sling. Hopefully customer service will resolve my issue. I will be calling them

6 month old keeps sliding off without the sling, but the sling was too small for her. Makes no sense. Extremely disappointed. She's not comfortable at all. I have to buy another one

When I opened this I saw that the foam pads had fallen off and would not stick back on. I didn't really need those but it was obviously cheap. Then I tried to actually use it and the stopper wouldn't stay in, leaking water all over the place. Had to throw it away because it was past the return date and will now have to go out and buy another tub. Horrible quality, couldn't even use it once.

The sling does not hold my newborn well, he continually slides down and kicks his feet off the sides in danger of flipping the little hammock to the side.

Too slippery, and the incline simply doesn't work. You'd be much better off using the kitchen sink. Alas, I felt I had it too long, since I purchased to have onboard when my grandson visited. Otherwise I would have returned it.
