This is such a wonderful forum! I was hoping you all coud help me...it may just be my hormones but I am beginning to contemplate buyting a new infant seat for my child despite just getting the new Snugride with EPS foam earlier this year...
My child is nearly 5 months old...she is a peanut--weighs 11 lbs and 23 inches and if she is like her sister, will not reach 20 lbs until she is 20 months! So, I am anticipating that she will be in the Snugride for at least another year. Spending the money is not a huge worry...
Right now, her head is sooo small in the seat--several inches from her head to each side--would a different brand be safer for such a small peanut?? I am thinking Chicco Keyfit, Britax Companion or Peg Perego Primo Viaggio--they seem to have more side impact protection (??)--ie cushioning on the sides of the head. Is this a true observation?
Do ppl like their KeyFits, Companions or PVs? Also, which if these has more cushioning overall--the snugride I have is seriously lacking--she is basically riding on the hard plastic shell with just a little fabric covering it...yuck.
She'll eventually move into her sister's Roundabout RF when she does finally grow out of the infant seat but as I said, it will be a long year if I feel uncomfortable about her seat...
I so not live anywhere close to someplace where I can go and compare theses models so I am flying blind
PS we have a Subaru Outback and she rides on the outboard since there are two seats in the back
THANK YOU!!!
