Graco Snugride 22 - rear adjust?

kmgt · Apr 30, 2010

I had an SN with my first two kiddos, but it expired, so I obviously have to get a new seat for this one.

I like the looks and reviews of the Keyfit 30 (my friend has one and I got to play with it) but I think it's just smarter to go with another SN 22.

We still have the stroller from the travel system and a duoglider the 22 will fit in. So, it just makes sense right?

Well, I was reading some reviews and I'm not too happy with the "rear adjust" feature of the SN. Seems like a pain in the butt. And honestly might convince me to get the Keyfit instead.

I know there are some the still have front adjust but it's so hard to tell and I'm planning to order online.

I'm not really considering the 32/35 for several reasons 1) I move my kids to a RF convertable well before they'd reach any limits. So to get the smaller (cheaper) seat just makes sense. 2) The 32/35 wouldn't fit my Travel system or duoglider, right? so I'd be just as well off to get the Keyfit I like.

So what do you think? Just try to find a SN 22 with front adjust?

Most SR22s are front adjust. Shouldn't be too hard to find. If you're looking online, just look to make sure it has a strap on the front.

Ok, 18 out of 30 patterns on Graco's site are rear adjust. I don't know how that translates into what you would find in the store (there are tons of patterns I've never seen there). But 12 out of 30 are front adjust, and here they are. http://www.gracobaby.com/Catalog/Pa...?catid=10:41||1 10434:4294959420||1+9:1005||1 You can pick your pattern and shop accordingly. I like the Zoey, personally. hehe

It's easy to tell the difference between the front and rear adjust, the front adjust will have a long strap you pull, like this one:http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3680231(notice the strap hanging from the front). The rear adjust wont have that strap at all. Also, the SR 32 and 35 does fit on the Graco strollers, so if you have an older stroller it should fit fine.
