With our newborn and a 18 month old, we bought a Maclaren Twin Techno which claims to support children as newborns. However, the headrest and support gear for a newborn was just too large for our little 7.5 lb girl. The snuzzler came highly reccomended from friends to give that added comfort and protection for your kid on the go, so we tried it out and it works great.

First, its so soft that you will want one yourself for your seat. Many of our friends who have used it says it only works for the first 3-6 months of your newborns life. After that, they suggest you can use some pieces but not all of the Snuzzler.

The Snuzzler is easy to install. However, many local experts such as the nurses at our hospital, the person at the hospital who installs/checks car seats, and the local firemen all say that installing such a device is not safe for the children since the car seat manufacturer does not account for it in their crash tests. The maker of the Snuzzler says it is crash tested, but one would wonder if they tried your car seat. They claim that there is no padding in the back so it doesn't interfere with safety.

Overall, if you are looking to use something like a stroller with a newborn like we are, the Snuzzler is great. If you are planning to use it in the car seat, you need to think again about the safety issues. We bought it with the sole purpose of using it in the stroller and like it.

We tried the Snuzzler in our Peg Perego car seat to help with the issues we have in it (see that car seat review) and there was no way you could get it to fit in that car seat. It pushed my daughter forward too much. I included a picture. But, I think it has to do with the already existing and unremovable head support in the car seat.
