I thought I was imagining it. I would put S in the Snugride, tighten the straps, and when we got where we were going...BAM, the straps were falling off his shoulders.
Well, today, I finally figured it out. The snugride crotch strap is soooo much further out than the snugride. He would slide down until his crotch hit the crotch strap, leaving lots of room at the top slots.
Maybe I just have a freakily thin child with no butt but I just can't see using the snugride until he gets thicker. I could put a washrag in there (thats permissable, right?) but I just don't see the point since i have a perfectly good Safeseat. The radian fits him great and even the Marathon fits better than the snugride. I was just shocked out how different the fit was.
Why is the crotch strap farther out on the 22 lb seat and not the 30 lb one...I don't get it?
(But then the roundabout crotch strap is farther out than the MA/BV so I guess Graco is not the only one.)
He is 7 weeks old, 11 lbs and 8 oz.
ETA: Snugride measures 6.25 in and Safeseat is almost 5 in.
