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.

Rating : - Too small for 36 week PREMIE
Just wanted everyone to know that although this seat is rated for infants 5 lbs and up, that our 5 lb 15 oz baby did not fit and was not allowed to leave the hospital in it. Our hospital does a carseat study before you leave. We had to go buy a different seat (the Graco Snugride fit fine). So, please be aware before you go to the hospital with this. Might be good to borrow a friends Snugride just in case...you will only need it for a month maybe, then you can move up to the Safeseat. The two problems were: The straps above the baby's shoulders were more than an inch too high. The strap between the legs was almost 2 inches away from the baby's croch.

We haven't officially used this seat yet. I rated it 4 stars because I anticipate we will love it...when we get to use it. Just wanted people to be aware of this potential problem. This is not what you want to hear when you are trying to get yourself and your infant out of the hospital and then you have to send someone out to buy a new carseat - STRESS!!!
