Graco SnugRide Car Seat Review

My Mom and Dad bought me the Graco Snugride after it was recommended in their car seat safety class they took before I was born. Mom is a safety freak and had the car seat installation checked a month before I was due. Mom is so into safety she is always pointing out what parents are doing wrong on those baby shows on cable. Putting a huge puffy coat on a baby and then strapping them into a car seat - what are they thinking? Cribs filled with bumpers, pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals - the horror!

Anyway, Mom thought I would outgrow this car seat in like 6 months because her and Dad were both big babies and they were expecting a whooper. I'm right in the middle of the growth charts right now and Mom and Dad expect me to be in this car seat to my first birthday. It was worth buying the infant seat because they are supposed to be safer, this one will last a year, and it is convenient having an extra base for Dad's car. I've only been in Dad's car twice because Mom says Daddy's soft top Jeep isn't safe for babies to ride in unless it's absolutely necessary. Plus it's loud back there with all the plastic windows flapping around. Not that Daddy can't buy me a cute convertible in 16 years...I'm just saying. The only thing I heard Mom and Dad complain about with this seat is that it is too heavy. They stopped carrying me around in it after 3 months (and my Daddy is big and strong!).

Mom says she would recommend this seat to anyone looking for value, safety, and convenience. I just go with whatever Mom says because she knows about this stuff.
