I'm crazy about safety when it comes to my children. Having a five year old leads some to wonder if there's anything that's really 'childsafe', but there is! Graco's new Snugride system is a child-safe, parent-friendly, affordable car carrier that I'm absolutely crazy about. Graco has a great company name to start with, so I was instantly attracted to their line of products when we heard we'd be having our tiny little love. Well, while we were comparing prices, safety, and durability we found this carrier to rise above the others. After we brought it home we found just a few tiny problems. First, we had a 7lbs 1/2 ounce baby and, although the company claims that the carrier is made for babies 5lbs and up, she seemed just a tad too small for the carrier at first. We got the straps nice and tightened, but when we got home we found her little head all slumped over and not well positioned. So we decided to take a closer look. Having re-read the manual, we discovered that the straps should be tighter than we thought, and after tightening them we pulled the baby head-rest down to support her head better. Sure her head sometimes slumps forward every now and then, but it's much better. The straps take come getting used to to tighten and loosen, but with a keen eye you can figure it out without even looking at the manual.

Anyway, I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone who's going to have a baby, or is fed-up with their old carrier, this thing is great! Oh and did I mention how easily it pops in and out of the car? After putting the base in we just click her in place and then pull the red button in the back to get her out, it's that simple! We love our light-weight, durable, and safe carrier!

It's a chest clip- not a belly clip! Your child is not safe if you do not use the carseat correctly!!!
