Graco SnugRide Click Connect 40 review #GracoSafety

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to share the new Graco SnugRide Click Connect 40 with some local PDX bloggers: Leslie at Cute and Peculiar and Kristin at Our Ordinary Life, 
as well as many expectant mothers. I got to work along side Amber from Dazzling Daily Deals. That's her in the picture demonstrating how easy the car seat is to use. It was such a great time. The staff at the Babies R Us in Tigard were great and we had some very excited moms win car seats!

It's been a while since I had in infant in a car seat. My baby is 5 now, but I still remember what a pain the seat was to use. After using the Graco SnugRide Click Connect 40 I can officially say car seats have come a long way! It was ridiculous how easy it was to use. It has tons of settings and it clicks in and out easily with one large handle. Mine back and the day had only one setting and was very difficult to click in and out. The adjustable settings are important because once your kiddo is asleep you want to make sure they stay asleep. With it being able to adjust smoothly your chances of keeping the baby asleep are greater.

I also had no idea that they now recommended keeping babies facing backwards until they are two years old. This seat will grow with them. As you can see from the photo above the tiny baby fit in there no problem. She was comfortable and safe. As she gets older you can remove the extra padding around her making more room. Once her legs are longer there is a shoe shield that pops up at the end of the base that will protect your car from getting shoe scuffs! It seems like Graco thought of everything when they designed this car seat. 

The Graco SnugRide® Click Connect™ 40 – the first and only newborn to two-year infant car seat that actually grows with your baby from four pounds all the way up to 40 pounds. The car seat is designed for a parent on the go. The infant car seat can be easily removed from the base and used as a carrier when the infant is small, providing portability and convenience so you can easily move your infant in and out of the car without disturbing them.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recently made the recommendation to keep all children in rear-facing car seats until the age of 2. Graco set out to make this product so parents can keep infants rear facing longer while still keeping them comfortable.
