Which Graco Car Seat?

I don't know which Graco car seat to choose- they seem to have the ones we like the most and we have decided to go ahead and get an infant seat to start with and then get a bigger one when needed.

 I am currently contemplating between the GracoSnugRide and the Graco Snug Ride 35.

 

Thanks!

Re: Which Graco Car Seat?

  • The difference between them is... how big of a baby do you think you'll have? Both sides of our family have fairly average size babies, so we went with the SnugRide - plus, the 35 is heavier itself than the regular - too much for me to lug with baby in it.

    Next you have to choose a pattern you like!

  • The SnugRide 35 is BIG or so I've heard. I'd make sure it will fit well in your back seat.


  • thanks ladies- I was having a hard time figuring out the differences (other than price and child weight). I think I will go with the non-35 one!

  • I'd go with the regular old Snugride.

    We have last year's Safeseat which goes to 32 lbs and I was done using it when my son weighed 15 lbs.  Not worth the extra $$$$$.   I'm not sure very many people would use an infant seat until their child was 35 lbs.

  • Well, we went to BRU last night to look at car seats, and we were trying to decide the same thing.  The manage helped us by getting a gallon of water (which weighs about 8 lbs) and putting it in each of them for us to see what it will be like to carry a NEWBORN around in .  We quickly decided on the plain snugride because of the weight.

  • The Graco snugride 35 really isn't that much heavier than the regular snugride.  I lugged it around for a year and I am a pretty small person.  After it started to get really heavy, I just kept it in the car and took baby out.
