I have no clue what seat to pick. I sold all my other ones because I'm weird like that and need a new one for each kid
What I did with the last two is used a snugride the first 4 months or so when they outgrew it by height and then got a SS1 to last a lot longer. (Yes i didn't know better and went by the 26/29" rule regardless of the amount of shell over their heads) I liked the snugride because it was smaller and lighter and by the time they outgrew it at 4 months I wasn't lugging it around as much so the bigger SS1 didn't matter much. I just got the SS1 for those "just in case" moments where it was convenient.
ANyways, I'm trying to decide between the SS1 (snugride 32) and the Keyfit 30. But I heard the Keyfit has no taller a shell than the 22. Is that true? So kinda like the Radian 65/80 deal? Just extra weight?
I had one super tall skinny kid who needed extra height but not weight.
Then I had one extremely short light kid who didn't need height or weight (she would have fit in the snugride until 7 or so months)
So I have no "trend" in kids. I have no clue what #3 will be like. Should I play it safe and get the Snugride 32 for the extra height?
I really want the keyfit, but if it's the same shell as a 22 lb seat what good does that do? Why not just get the 22 lb seat then? Doesn't that just mean they will be outgrown by height at the same time? Does any kid even get close to 30 lbs in the Keyfit??
Pros/cons?
