Hi everyone,
I'm new here; FTM with baby due in 8 weeks! I'm trying to decide between the Graco SnugRide or SafeSeat for our baby. I'm leaning towards the SafeSeat, but am mainly concerned about its weight (of the seat itself, not the weight limit for the baby) and if it would be heavy/difficult to carry around for a petite person. I'm 5'3" and was 100 lbs pre-pregnancy.
According to the Graco website, the difference between the two is only 2.25 lbs, so it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I did try them both at BRU and felt that the SafeSeat was manageable, but this was without the baby in the seat, of course! I'd love to hear personal experiences from people who have them or have compared them.
I had a couple more questions related to these... Will either of these fit with either the Graco Metrolite or the Peg Perego P3 stroller? As you can tell, I've not finally decided upon the stroller as well, though I've narrowed my search down to the above two!
Also, where can I can fabric covers for both/either of these seats? Most of the patterns are quite dark in color, and being in Texas, I'd like to cut down on the heat factor a little bit. The fabric on the SafeSeat (at least the ones that I saw) also seemed somewhat rough, so I'd like to cover it for the baby's comfort.
Thanks so much,
Anchita
