We got two snugrides, since we have two babies coming and need to buy double of everything, but I saw some reviews on here recently that folks said they weren't comfortable for the babies?
We have a Snugride and a Safeseat. DD used both of them, and we never experienced any issues. I know some of the fabrics may make them hotter, etc but we didn't have this issue either.
There is a regular snugride and a snugride 32. I have heard and seen in person in BRU that the snugride 32 is bigger and heavier. It has a higher weight limit. I didn't like it. Carrying those things around is hard enough without adding more weight on top of the weight of the baby.
Uhm ... no ... my babe initially hated being constricted by the belts ... hated when I buckled her up in anything (car seat, swing, etc.) but she's fine now. As for the weight of the car seat ... I have an uppababy w/a car seat adapter so I never carry the seat around in hand.
DS was fine in his- in fact, I cried when he outgrew it. God, I loved that thing! There are some babies that are just not comfortable in ANY infant carseat and those parents just go ahead move them up to a convertable early. I wouldn't worry about it until your babies are here though. Most babies are just fine in the infant seats- whatever the brand.
I have the snugride & DD gets really hot in it, but then again I
live in Miami. However, even with the AC cranking she is still
always sweaty when I take her out of the seat. She gets way overheated
from the foam padding surrounding the seat- not a good choice for those
in warm climates.
I have used an evenflo seat when visiting my mom & the issue of overeating did not exist
She's 14 lbs/25 inches and I can't imagine her using it more than another 2 months. The weight/height max is 22 lbs & 29 inches & she is no where near that & she seems to be getting uncomfortable in it as if she's outgrowing it already.
Overall- not thrilled with it since DD does not seem comfortable in it at all.
We have the 32 and he hated it at first (but then again, he hated everything at first), but now he likes it. Gets excited when we put him in it b/c it means he's going for a ride. ;-)
He's 19.4 lbs and 28 inches and I still caryy it with him in it when we come/go from daycare, visiting family, friends, etc...
My son HATED it. But I think it had more to do with the fabric making him all sweaty. If you get one of the more plush models with better fabric, I think you would be okay.
