Suprised by Safeseat

If you haven't been able to tell by now in my posts I am totally in love with the Chicco Keyfit:D, it is by far my favorite infant seat. However the Graco Safeseat1 is always my second rec to friends, etc.

I was at Babies r us with Ryan and put him in the Safeseat.
At 17 months, 28 pounds, around 33 inches, with an approx. torso height of 13, he had about 1 inch of shell above his head.

For the heck of it put him in the Keyfit30 (I gave our Keyfit22 to BIL) and he was just even with the top - so he probably would have lasted to 12-14 months in the Keyfit.

I didn't have my camera but I'll try to remember next time.

When we have another baby I will most likely still get the Keyfit30 but I have to say that I love how long the Safeseat will last especially if I know the parents/friends I recommend it too will turn their baby FF when they outgrow the bucket, KWIM?

I love that last pic of your dd. The one titled feet hanging off the ends. I think one of my favorite things about the ss1, except everything, is the way the harness looks on the kids. So comfy and perfect looking, even on my little guy who's greatest habit is spitting up every time I cinch the straps down on him.

They're not too tight, is just that 45 degrees is the perfect spitup angle for him

I knew that it was a good seat but I was just honestly suprised that my 95th percentile child for height/weight still fit in it!!
