Here at the very busy familia, we are getting ready for baby número dos in February and of course a new car seat was on the list. Recently the American Academy of Pediatrics put out a new policy which advises parents to keep their toddlers rear-facing in car seats until the age of two.
Did you know that? I sure didn’t! And I can guarantee many other parents out there are unaware of it as well.
When Graco and SpanglishBaby asked me to review the new SnugRide Click Connect car seat – the ONLY newborn to 2-year infant car seat on the market that provides rear-facing protection for babies from birth to 2- years-old (from 4 – 40 lbs) I happily agreed to knowing that other parents-to-be may be looking for guidance in the car seat deparment. I like to think of myself as a practical mamá and only purchase what is needed. The fact that the SnugRide actually saves you having to buy additional car seat accessories was a very good starting and selling point with me.
It used to be that we celebrated our children turning two by happily turning their car seat to face the front – which of course was standard before the policy was issued. Clearly my baby hasn’t tried and tested the seat yet, but obviously as parents we purchase accessories before our babies are born and we like to be given the hard cold facts on safety and what is best for our childrens’ well-being.
The SnugRide Click Connect gives me peace of mind and I know the little one will be safe and snug in this car seat. Here are the features it offers:
- 8-position adjustable base grows with your child, providing the most legroom and a comfortable ride for up to two years.
- Simply Safe Adjust Harness System is safe and simple with one hand-harness and headrest adjustment.
- Click Connect technology provides a one step secure attachment to all Graco Click Connect strollers to create a travel system.
Good stuff, right?! I certainly think so. And having never owned a Graco product before, my husband and I were both impressed by the high quality and sturdiness of the car seat. And obviously it complies with the updated car seat regulations.
I strongly encourage you to visit their site to get the instructional and safety videos directly from the experts. As for us, we can’t wait to bring home our little girl in it this February!
You can buy the SnugRide at your local Babies R Us.

Thank you so much for this review! My husband and I are expecting our first in April, and there are so many options when it comes to buying car seats. It can get so overwhelming! But my favorite feature on this one is that it can be used as rear-facing until age 2; I’m with you, saving money wherever possible is essential!
This is an awesome giveaway. There are so many choices when it comes to car seats but I defiantly love that this one is for ages birth to 2 years and still has a carrying handle.
that it provides rear-facing protection for babies from birth to 2- years-old

I’m expecting my second son in February, as well, and I would love to win this. The rear-facing, grow with your child really appeals to me!
Oh and have just subscribed.
I love this feature ,,,,The slide to give the baby more legroom, my baby became really tall when he was around 11 month and it was really difficult to be seated in his regular car seat, (his legs were bending) this will be great for him and for his safety, also that it can supports 40 lbs!! that will be awesome that if he falls asleep in the car seat it won’t be trouble to take all the car seat inside, he will be still warm, protected and cuddly! I really love that feature!
I love this too! SimplySafe Adjust Harness System is safe and simple, with a one-hand harness and headrest adjustment.. Beautiful system!
So many features to be in love with!
I really want to win this, will be one of my dreams come true!
Nice seat. looks convenient.
Have I won the seat yet?
I love that it has 8 positions and that it grows with your child. This way you can avoid buying another car seat as baby is growing into a toddler!
My favorite feature is that you have your baby rear facing up to two years.
i like the adjustable base for more leg room

I love the higher rear-facing weight and height limits. That is something that is very important to us. I also love the kick plate to keep dirty feet off my back seat.

Ha! I wish I’d known about this when we first bought a car seat. We have a (graco) seat that goes up to 25 lbs. Baby is getting big and now I’m scrambling to save money to buy a new seat. This is a great idea!
