They are both good seats, I got the Chicco... but its personal preference, and what fits in your car better.

They are both really great seats. I have a Chicco and I love it!

I think they are all good seats. I'd consider the weight of each one because once you add a baby they get heavy fast.

I would consider all 3 to be good choices.  However, I do not know that many people who would keep their toddler in the Snugride 35 until they reached 35 lbs.  Although it is recommended to keep them rear facing as long as possible, many people seem to turn their car seats around a lot sooner.

Chicco Key Fit

I am getting the Chicco Keyfit 30... even though the Snugrides and the Chiccos have compareable safety ratings (both very good).  The reason I am getting the Keyfit30 instead of a Snugride is length of the seats, the Snugrides are significantly longer and I'm worried about them fitting in my Honda Accord. 
I also like the look of the Chicco Keyfit 30s better overall, Graco's patterns kind of drive me a little batty (some I like, but then they're the patterns not available in stores, and I don't want ALL of my registry items to be online only).

We bought the Chicco Keyfit too..  The quality was alittle better than the others when we played with them at the store.

We have the original Snugride which we will be reusing.

Even if the Snugride 35 rear faces to 35 lbs, there's still a rear facing height limit of 32". DD was 32" at 1 year and only 22 lbs. She was rear facing in her Britax Marathon until 32 lbs and 39" (2 1/2 years).

We have the Snugride 32 and really liked it. It did get heavy to lug DS around, but I just left it in the car then and carried him. We switched him rearfacing into a TrueFit Convertible where he'll be until he hits the weight limit of 35#.

I am getting the Chicco Keyfit the base is one of the easiest to instal and it has more protection for your babies head in case of an accident.
