Chicco Keyfit VS Graco Snugride

Gemme your opinions!!! Pro's? cons? which one fits better with a jogging stroller?

I had the snug ride with the 2 gremlins - worked for both, even though Ian was out by 4 months (seriously looking at the 30lb ones) So this is what Im basing off of - But am REALLY interested in the chicco.....

We had the Chicco Keyfit30 for Ben and I LOOOOVED it. As much as a person could possibly love their carseat. It has a really nice infant insert that just makes baby look nice and cozy in there. The straps are a breeze to loosen and tighten and get just right. The base is a piece of cake to install and quickly.

I wish Ben still fit in his!

He still would fit in weight, but he outgrew it in height!

Dropping in from the March DDC ~ but I am having the same debate! I am really leaning towards the Chicco Keyfit, based on the reviews that say it is REALLY hard to install it wrong. But the Snugride gets great reviews too...interested to see what other people have to say.

Chicco Keyfit all the way. I have the Chicco Keyfit 22 for my son. It's built so much better then the Graco.. I used a Graco Snugride with my daughter, so I have experience with both of them..

The Chicco (at least the 22) doesn't take that much room in the back of my car, like the Graco Snugride did..

Just remember the Chicco Keyfit does not snap onto the front of the shopping carts..

I have the Chicco Keyfit too and I love it. I didn't find that it was difficult to install at all and I have a 2/3 door small SUV. It is also super easy to clean. I'm still using it with Amara and I she'll be able to use it for over 1 year because it still has loads of room.

The only problem I have with it is ventilation. Amara gets really hot in it sometimes and sweat buckets even though I'd have the AC up to all but that is really due to my car being old and not having AC vents in the back.

We had/Have a Eddie Bauer that I HATE! And when we have another LO will be getting something different.

I got the safeseat and I liked it better then the feel of the chicco in store. I would go to Babies r Us and get hands on with your choices. That is how we decided.
