    We absolutely LOVE our Chicco, and just comparing it to some friends and relative who have the Snugride, I would prefer our Chicco any day. No particular reason, just all around seems like a better and more user friendly seat! Plus it's got great ratings!

    They're very similar. You should go to a store and fiddle around with both of them and try each one in your car.

    FWIW, we compared both for over an hour in-store and went with the SR35. I liked the ease of use and colors better on the KF30, but the SR was cheaper (we also needed an extra base), had nicer fabric, snapped into the Graco snap-n-go frame, and allows for an extra two inches in height (pay no attention to the weight limits - kids will outgrow it in height before weight).

    I was in the same position as you.  And chose the Chicco Keyfit.  I recommend that you play with both seats (and potential strollers) in store to decide.  Play with the bases, buckles, etc. Here's the reasons why we chose Chicco:

    1) The fabric seemed much easier to clean compared to the Graco.  Graco makes this plushy like fabric and I feel like it'd soak up all spit ups.

    2) Buckle system seemed more user friendly.  It seemed easy to unlock/lock the baby into the belts.

    3) Removing/Putting the seat into the base was way easier.

    4) Plastic seemed less "cheap" appearing/feel to it.

    5) I liked the handle feel a bit better (though my husband didn't notice difference)

    Drawbacks of Chicco?  Price.  The bases are also much more expensive than the Graco.  The color selection is pretty limited - but I think ALL car seats by Graco are ugly as well.

    They both got A per the Baby Bargains book. A few friends have Chicco but we have 2 family members who loved their Graco snugride so we plan to go w/ that based on what they shared plus they are a little cheaper...

    We are getting the Chicco...I played with both in the store and didn't like the Graco stroller as much.

    Chicco Keyfit, has better safety ratings and is also more attractive and less bulky IMO
