The Graco Snugride 35 Lite LX is very similar to the Baby Trend Secure Snap. It’s not a 100% complete purple infant car seat but just comes with a purple-similar color – Hailey for the included infant insert.

It’s as cheap as Secure Snap Tech, but the overall performance seems a bit better. For example, it’s much narrower – SnugRide 35 Lite LX (14.41-inch wide) vs Secure Snap (16.25-inch wide). But both are good for three across fit anyway.

The Graco SnugRide is a lightweight purple infant car seat. Weighing only 7.2 pounds, moms can carry it effortlessly.

The Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX might be the safest infant car seat for baby girls. It comes with the company’s unique ProtectPlus engineering technique and will deliver strong protection in case of a crash, no matter if the crash happens from the frontal, rear, or side, even the rollover.

Even though the manufacturer boasts of its best protection, we do recommend parents drive carefully and safely, as baby girls are really vulnerable.

If you have two or three children in a car seat and need to put the car seats in the back row side by side, the Graco SlimFit3 LX should be your first and best choice!

It’s a narrow (actually Katrina) purple car seat. Designed with a width of 16.75 inches, the Graco SlimFit3 LX can be used in most vehicles for a 3 cross fit. This width is even narrower than the Diono Radian 3QXT (belonging to the original and well-known ‘Radian 3X’ series) with 17-inch.

It’s an affordable purple car seat. Priced at $279.99, the Graco SlimFit3 LX is much cheaper than the Raidan 3QXT ($399.99 with a few premium features we’ll talk about later). The Diono has a cheaper entry-level car seat – the Raidan 3R, which is low-priced at $199.99.

It’s more friendly for small cars. Measuring 19 x 17.4 x 26.5 inches (WDH), it won’t take much space even if installed in the rear-facing direction, unlike the high 28.5-inch Diono Radian 3X car seats.

Graco SlimFit3 LX is a budget-friendly car seat. It continues for three car seat stages: rear-facing (40lbs/49”), forward-facing (65lbs/49”), and booster (100lbs/57”). But it’s cheaper than the same level all-in-one (or 3-in-1) car seats: Maxi Cosi Pria ($299.99), Britax One4Life ($399.99).

Graco SlimFit3 LX is not the cheapest, but this price is very acceptable if considering its extra safety and comfort features.

It’s ProtectPlus engineered to be protective for crashes from the frontal, side, and rear. It boasts of passing the European rollover crash tests.

Made of breathable mesh airflow channels in the streamlined design, it delivers max fresh air around your little girl to keep cool. Even in hot areas like Sacramento, Dallas, and Austin, your child won’t get sweaty in the car.

To keep the car seat clean and comfortable for your girl, the SlimFit3 LX is made of machine-washable fabric. That’s very commonly seen in most car seats. What we love is that you can easily take the seat cover off the seat and throw it into the washing machine.

Yes, the Graco SlimFit3 LX features the Rapid Cover remover – the same you can find in Graco 4Ever DLX. It allows you to remove the cover from the frame effortlessly. This is a very practical tip, as taking the cover off might be a sweaty challenge for moms and dads.

If you’re shopping for a purple car seat that will last long from your girl’s birth to eight years old, the Britax One4Life should be on the top of your consideration list.

It’s a 3-in-1 (or all-in-one) car seat, which is commonly considered a money saver that can save the expense of purchasing multiple car seats through your child’s riding time.

It’s partially true. The Britax does last for three car seat stages: rear-facing (40lbs/49”); forward-facing (65lbs/49”), and booster (120lbs/63”).

Not to mention the first two stages, but the booster size performance beats the majority of (absolutely above 95%) car seats on the market, like the Maxi Cosi Pria (100lbs/52”), Graco SlimFit3 LX (100lbs/57”), Disney Baby Grow and Go (100lbs/52”), Evenflo EveryFit 4-in-1 (120lbs/57”). Only the Diono Radian 3QXT (120lbs/63”) performs as well as the Britax One4Life purple.

But it’s a bit more expensive than the others. Priced around $400, the Britax One4Life costs two times as much as the Evenflo EveryFit ($188.49) and Disney Baby Grow and Go ($199.99). It’s the most expensive purple all-in-one car seat. So does the Diono Radian 3QXT ($399.99).

If you want a car seat that will really save money, cheaper alternatives – Graco SlimFit3 LX ($279.99) and Maxi Cosi Pria ($299.99) are also great choices.

But if you don’t have a budget concern. Britax One4Life is the best recommended purple car seat. We love its ClickTight feature.

In most cases, you get used to using the LATCH for a simple installation. But Britax changes the rule with the ClickTight technique.

Pinch to open the seat and you’ll see the seat belt path underneath. Then buckle the seat through the belt path following the guide and close the seat. Just in three simple steps (you may need a little practice at first before it gets easier and easier), you’ll get a proper and tight installation.

We also have another Britax car seat with ClickTight on this list – Boulevard, which is priced around $369.99 online. Comparing these two Britax models, you’ll find the One4Life is not that expensive. After all, you save the money to get a booster seat.

The Britax One4Life is one of the most comfortable car seats purple colored for girls. It comes with decent padding as well as cooling and ventilated meshed fabrics to deliver the maximum comfort for your little one.

Two cup holders are built in for additional comfort features. They are made of dishwasher-safe materials so you can easily clean them for next time use. Placed in the reserved cutouts, the cup holders don’t need to borrow space from side seats, reducing the chance to expand the width.

Measured 19-inch in width, the Britax One4Life might be suitable to fit 3 across in some cars, but not as narrow as the Graco SlimFit3 LX (16.75-inch) and the Diono Radian 3QXT (17-inch at the hip section).

It’s not a lightweight car seat and not a great option for travel. Parents won’t want to take a 30-pound huge monster from home to the airport and navigate between airports.

Britax Boulevard is the only purple convertible car seat we have on this list. Actually, the classic three sisters – Advocate, Boulevard, and Marathon, all have a purple version. As we have done a full review for Britax Marathon, we’d like to introduce the Boulevard here in this purple car seat post.

The safety features are very similar between these three Britax convertible car seats. All come with the ClickTight design for an easy seat belt installation, which can be a big challenge for most car seats.

But Boulevard CT has a ‘Snug Harness Indicator’ that can remind parents to keep an appropriate fit – not too loose. That’s very helpful because a loose harness means the car seat is not properly installed and is not safe for riding a child.

Moms and dads love the Britax car seats because they’re made of non-chemical smell fabrics. That sounds more health-friendly for baby and toddler girls.

You may have noticed the truth about the Britax car seats. They’re more expensive than same-level car seats. For example, the purple Boulevard ($369.99) is over $100 more than Graco Extend2Fit ($234.99) or Chicco NextFit Zip ($299.99).

If you have much budget for a car seat, the Britax car seats are worth your consideration. Installing the car seat with the vehicle seat belt saves a ton of time trying or guessing.

Evenflo EveryFit 4-in-1 is another one of the best car seats made in the USA. The one we recommend in this purple car seat list is the Augusta model, which is not 100% completely purple. But if you want the cheapest all-in-one car seat for your little girl, we believe that you’ll give it a try.

It’s very low-priced, at only 188.49 for sales on Amazon. This is even a few bucks cheaper than Disney Baby Grow and Go ($199.99). But it outperforms the former on the size limitation.

The Evenflo EveryFit is a 4-in-1 car seat with four modes for going through three stages: rear-facing (40lbs/40”), forward-facing (65lbs/49”), high back booster (120lbs/57”), and a backless booster (120lbs/57”).

At this point, it’s as good as Graco 4Ever DLX, which is also a 4-in-1 car seat with a more expensive price of over $300. But the latter comes with a few premium features that Evenflo EveryFit does not have.

Evenflo EveryFit boasts of meeting or exceeding the US safety standard. But this is very basic and mandatory for all car seats sold in America. It’s equally matched to the Safety 1st Grow and Go, neither lightweight nor narrow.

It’s best to use it for road trips or daily riding around the home, even though it’s approved by the FAA for air travel. You won’t want to carry it around, even switch from car to car.

Actually, many moms purchase this purple car seat as a backup in the second car or the car that is not used to ride the little girl often, like the grandparents’ or babysitters’ cars.

Evenflo Maestro Sport is another one of the best purple car seats made in the USA. The real color is called Whitney Pink. But it’s a color near dark purple, and it’s good for toddler girls.

It’s not for baby girls, lacking rear-facing mode. It’s a harnessed booster, with a 5-point harness for forward-facing at the size limit (65lbs/49”) and a high back booster at the size limit (110lbs/57”).

The Evenflo Maestro Sport is a budget-friendly ($89.99) harness 2 booster. It’s low priced under $100, a few bucks cheaper than other combination car seats between $100 and $200, like the KidsEmbrace SpiderMan ($149.99). If you want a less expensive alternative – the Graco Tranzitions ($109.99) is a good option. The latter supports a smooth transition from high back booster to backless mode.

The Evenflo Maestro Sport is a lightweight car seat. Weighing only 9.6 pounds – that’s slightly heavier than an infant car seat, this purple car seat is easy to carry and good for travel, no matter for road trips or aircraft use.

Designed for toddlers and big girls, the Evenflo Maestro Sport comes with two cup holders, keeping drinks and snacks within easy reach. It’s a pity that there is no armrest above the cup holders, but the Graco Tranzitions have.

We have the Evenflo Maestro Sport in this top list for best purple car seats, but it’s actually dark grape, which is not easy to get dirty. But don’t you worry about it. The seat cover and pad are made of wipeable and machine washable fabrics.

The Diono Radian 3QXT is the only foldable purple car seat for toddler girls. As one of the most expensive car seats in the price range of around $400, it has a few amazing safety and comfort features. And most of all, it’s a 3-across car seat.

As a premium sibling of the Diono Radian 3R, the 3QXT inherits the Radian 3R’s advantages: the 50-pound weight limit for extended rear-facing; 120-pound booster limits for big girls; 17-inch width for fitting 3 across. And most importantly, the folding design makes it easy to carry like a backpack.

But the 3QXT gives your little girls more!

It’s ergonomically designed to accommodate growing girls from birth.

For newborn baby girls, it has a few additions like the Safe+ newborn protection insert, Safe+ newborn harness pads, and Safe+ 2-in-1 infant positioning liner, which are helpful to keep your girl safe and stable in the car seat. These essentials are removable as your little girl grows.

The 3QXT has a wider shoulder rest on the top. This provides much growing room for your girls from toddler to preteen. We thought this is one of the biggest improvements for the Radian 3R.

More than the extra infant inserts for better protection, the 3QXT improves a lot in the safety features.

It comes with an anti-rebound bar, which delivers more protection no matter rear-facing or forward-facing.

It features 8-layers of side impact protection, far more than most car seats with 2 layers or 3 layers.

Even though the 3QXT is not a lightweight car seat, with a weight of up to 32 pounds (this should be the heaviest of all purple car seats), we think it should rank top 3 in our portable car seats for travel. It features a folding design.

That’s FAA approved and you can easily take it navigating between the airports. But you should always contact the airlines to confirm this car seat will fit the plane seat well.
