Hi!
I'm getting ready to order our next infant carseat.... I've been looking at the KeyFit30 as well as the various Graco Snugrides online (no good local shopping options, so I can't go play with things). We used the original Graco Snugride (is that now the Snugride 22?) with our other 3 kids & it was great and lasted until about 5-6 months (all 3 kids grew too tall for it... didn't hit 20lbs until 1 year). However, a friend has a newer Snugride (she's not sure if it is the 32 or 35) & I picked it up empty the other day and WOW is it HEAVY!!! I can't imagine using the caseat carrier feature very long at all, once you add a baby. That wasn't a problem with our original Snugride. I tried looking up the weights of the various seats and found this list referred to here http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AvfUm4x64h3AdDRuWS01UTk3SWFYWU5la3BTckN1YlE&hl=en which is helpful, but is missing the seat weight of the KeyFit and the Snugride 22... the key info I need!
Does ANYONE have that info? what the carrier seat weighs alone? I just don't wanna buy a seat that supposedly will last forever and then end up not carrying it anywhere due to back pain!
THANKS in advance!!!!
