SnugRide 35 Lite LX

I own the Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX with the stroller (which also can be used as a toddler stroller later on) and it literally just clicks in both the stroller and the car seat base! It's lightweight, it's easy to get in and out with a "clip" on the back of the car seat that takes one hand to unclick from either base or stroller. I love it and the stroller part is the perfect height for me and my husband (5'7" and 6'4") so we don't feel like we have to slump over to push it around! I know I sound like I'm trying to sell it to you but it's so easy and uncomplicated to figure out. We bought ours from Rebel. com at a discount.

1. I agree that graco snugride would be a good, low budget, infant seat that works well in many cars and can be part of a travel system. I personally used the Snugride 35 lite lx with no complaints. 2. Graco car seats are available everywhere. Walmart, Amazon, Toys R Us, Canadian Tire, and Best Buy website (sold by the store). 3. At this point, it is very unlikely that a midwife would take you into their care. You would still need to make the trip to your baby’s doctor. Toronto’s public health unit does offer a program called Healthy Babies Healthy Children though. I liked a similar service in my city. A nurse will come to your home and offer extra support with things like feeding, helping you promote positive development and growth. You can ask them questions between visits to the doctor and about everyday care or programs in Toronto. Additionally, they helped me manage an infant allergy and referred my child to speech therapy as a toddler when my doctor wouldn’t. You can self refer in pregnancy/postpartum or have a provider do it.

Currently 23 weeks pregnant with baby #3. We’ve used the Graco SnugRide 35 LX infant car seat for both of our previous babies, and plan on using it for #3 as well. We have 2 bases (one in my car, on in my husbands) and just one actual car seat. My oldest was in the infant car seat until they were like 9 months. They seemed to enjoy it, and didn’t exceed the height/weight limits until then. My second was in it for about 3 months. They absolutely despised being in the car seat, so we went ahead and switched them over to a convertible car seat. In my car, both of their car seats are the Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 convertible car seats. In my husbands vehicle, he has one of the 4Ever DLX and on Graco Extend2Fit convertible car seat. We like both options, but I definitely prefer the 4Ever. When I just had one kiddo, we used the Graco Modes stroller. And now that we have two kiddos, we use the Graco Ready2Grow LX 2.0 double stroller. I’ve liked both so far. Both were compatible with our infant car seat. And the double stroller even has a small seat on the bottom by the storage space where you can buckle in an older toddler if needed. Both fold easily, but the double stroller does take up a good amount of trunk space. I have a 3rd row SUV with the 3rd row laid down, and it takes up like half of the space if it is laying flat.

I think at least part if not most of it is luck. My kiddo started in a the Graco Snugride 35 lite and then transitioned into the Graco Extend2Fit, and has been completely chill about the car seat since day 1.

I have a graco snugride 35 lite that I am finding very easy to clip and unclip from its anchor for an infant seat but will transition to a peg perrego infant to tot one that doesn’t come in and out of the car soon as baby is a chonk and I much prefer taking the stroller into the store than hauling around the heavy seat
