With Just a Click!

We're tall. As a result, we have tall counters, tall shower heads, long beds, long pants, cars with extra headroom, etc. Well, we have no reason to believe Shelby won't be tall. She is certainly on the long side, but not outrageously tall and/or off the charts. If you ask me, she's just perfect! Mentally though, I am already thinking that purchases we make for her should accommodate longer/taller kids.

Well, we're in luck. I just found the most amazing car seat. I wish I found it 6 months ago, but we can only look forward, right? I present to you the Graco SnugRide Click Connect40.

Why is this so fabulous you may ask? Well, it's currently the only car seat on the market that goes from newborn to 40 pounds....or by most standards the weight of  2 year old. A typical car seat goes to about 30 pounds  and from there you have to advance your child to a front facing child seat.  That is all fine and dandy, but according to the American Academy of Pediatrics "toddlers are more than five times safer riding rear facing in a car seat." With that, it's fab that this one can go rear facing for the extending period of time. Plus, Shelby will be traveling in first-class comfort, it has EIGHT recline positions for her comfort. I am pretty sure no sitting arrangement available to Jack or I has that many levels of comfort.

And what does this have to do with being tall? Well, obviously with length comes height, but more directly, this thing has a clever base that actually allows you to slide the car seat forward and backwards as the child grows - a major coo for parents with a lanky baby.  But what about those fancy leather seats in my new(ish) car? Greco is a step ahead with a kick plate that you can opt to use once it becomes relevant. Brilliant, uh? And of course, it's convenient. It's called the "Click Connect' because with one simple "click," it'll come right in/out of any Graco compatible product. Bravo!

Finally, our car seat is in Shelby's favorite color "Mena," aka pink! You can find it at my new home-away-from-home Babies R Us. You can see from the below photo that Shelby is already a fan!

The Graco SnugRide® Click Connect™ 40 – the first and only newborn to two-year infant car seat that actually grows with your baby from four pounds all the way up to 40 pounds. The car seat is designed for a parent on the go. The infant car seat can be easily removed from the base and used as a carrier when the infant is small, providing portability and convenience so you can easily move your infant in and out of the car without disturbing them.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recently made the recommendation to keep all children in rear-facing car seats until the age of 2. Graco set out to make this product so parents can keep infants rear facing longer while still keeping them comfortable.
