Best Car Seats and Accessories

Graco SnugRide or Graco SafeSeat Infant Car Seat:
Seeing as my motto is “Safety First” this was obviously a huge decision for me. Hands down the Graco SnugRide** and the Graco SafeSeat are the best value and the safest ride in town.
As I’ve mentioned,, my daughter did not like to be put down except in the swing and the car seat. I will literally cry when she outgrows this car seat because she is so comfortable, she loves it and I love the convenience of popping her in and out of the car awake or asleep uninterrupted. I got the SungRide because of all the user reviews and I thought the SafeSeat would be too big. Looking back I wish I had gotten the SafeSeat only because it’s essentially bigger version of the SnugRide and it would have bought me a little bit more time before having to move to a conversion seat. That being said the one thing to consider, especially if it is summer or you live somewhere hot is to get a car seat cover. The vinyl can get really warm and uncomfortable. The good news is, is if it’s winter or very cold where you live your babe will be nice and snug in their car seat so you do not have to worry about over bundling them.
Britax Decathlon, Britax Marathon or Britax Roundabout Conversion Car Seat:
After doing the research the Britax Marathon, Britax Decathlon and the Britax Roundabout are the best options out there.
The Marathon and the Decathlon can potentially be used rear facing from 5-35 lbs (1 year +) and forward facing 20-65lbs up to 49” in height so it will meet the needs of your child until they are in a booster seat. The only real difference is that the Decathlon has removable head and positioning pillows which is nice if you do decide to use it with a younger baby.
The Roundabout is a bit more compact and seats rear facing children from 5-35 lbs (1 year +) or forward from 20-40 pounds.
All Britax Car Seats are top in class for safety.
You can also purchase travel accessories so that you can wheel and transport your child in these car seats as well.
