snugride

Graco is recalling billions of car seats because their latches are not opening easily enough.  The only models they are not recalling, despite being asked by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is the Snugride models, which is what we have.  Great, now I feel really safe.  Especially with my re-occuring fear that I am going to fly off the bridge into the Mississippi.

Buying our snugride has been a mistake from the beginning.  We bought it soon after Link reached over 20 lbs at 3 months.  The snugrides claim to hold more weight (32 lbs) and we thought, with the way this kid is gaining we need this model.  Well, he held steady at 21 lb for over a year so there really was no need.

What I do like about our snugride is that we also got the swing it can attach to, so we can set a sleeping baby in a carseat into a swing without taking him out.  We also got the stroller, which worked well when traveling.

What I dislike about the snugride is it is just a little too wide to fit in the upside down highchairs at restaurants and it doesn't fit grocery carts either.
