Graco SnugRide32 car seat is very comfortable and and you will love the adjustable strap in the front. The SnugRide 32 car seat has the versatility you are looking for to go from car to store etc. without having to disturb your sleeping baby, or struggle to remove the seat from the car. With the newborn baby the carrier is not too heavy. Weight without base: 9.5 lbs, weight with base: 16.2 lbs.
The Graco infant seat colors are rich looking with a baby feel and can work for either boy or girl. The straps are easy enough to adjust once you read the instructions. The car seat has more padding, more room for a baby to grow.
The SnugRide 32 base also has the latch system feature, which makes the infant car seat installation a lot easier as the base has a built-in clamp that helps hold the seat belt more tightly in place, thus keeping the whole thing locked down more securely. Also, the infant car seat has a five-point, fully adjustable harness system that keeps baby safe and snug as a bug in a rug.
The Infant SnugRide 32 Car Seat holds babies up to 32 pounds and 32" tall. That means it fits 97% of one-year-olds and can keep your baby rear-facing for one full year. It's been extensively crash tested to meet or exceed U.S. standards, and engineered for safety. For Baby's comfort, the padded seat has an infant head support plus 180 degrees rotating canopy.
The carrier is easy enough to remove from the base which is a huge plus. Even though it seems to work with most Graco strollers, it doesn't work with all Graco bases. It works great with Graco SnugRide 32 Base in Silver for Zurich SnugRide Car Seat and SnugRide 32 Base Tan for Montreal ($59.99).
I took a car seat class at a hospital and learned what to look for in a car seat. The Graco SnugRide32 Zurich fulfilled all criteria! The instructor in the car seat class stated that the American Pediatric Association recommends that an infant remain rear-facing in a car seat until 1 year of age or 30 lbs.
The SnugRide32 meets this standard and then some, which was rather attractive and money-saving in the long run, as most of the other car seats I looked at had weight limits that topped out at around 20 pounds. This one rates up to 32 lbs.
Finally, the Snugride32 has the one feature that our instructor said was worth whatever extra it may cost - that is the front harness adjustor strap. You just put the little one in the seat and put babie's extremities in the harness, click the buckles into place, and pull the strap tight. That's it.
No need to turn the seat around and fumble with the tightening straps on the back. With this seat, you can just strap them in, pull them tight, and go, and you will enjoy a full year of hassle-free travels with your baby!
