Divas Night Out and #GracoSafety

Last week, Miss V and I got a much-needed girls night out! We were invited to Charlotte to learn all about Graco's newest product - The SnugRide® Click Connect™ 40.



This is the only infant car seat to provide rear-facing protection for our little ones from birth all the way up to 2 years old! I'll be honest with you divas, my youngest two were turned around way before they should have been. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends they remain rear-facing until 2 years old or 40 pounds - mine probably didn't make it to 6-9 months.  Mainly because it was difficult to find a seat they could sit in comfortably based on their height.  However, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, toddlers are five times safer riding rear-facing! 



We've been using the SnugRide® Click Connect™ 40 for a little over a week now and Miss V has had no issues at all. Honestly, I believe she's more comfortable and content - especially when we're making longer trips since she's in a reclining position.



The SnugRide® Click Connect™ 40 has lots of great features including the 8 position adjustable base that allows the seat to grow with our babies and, my favorite, the Simply Safe Adjust Harness System that allows you to adjust the straps and headrest as they grow!!! No more re-threading straps and having to guesstimate the length you need! This helps provide a snug, comfortable and secure fit.



The SnugRide® Click Connect™ 40 is the first infant car seat in Graco's ClickConnect series of car seats and strollers that allows parents to easily transition their babies from the car to stroller with one simple, secure "click". We found it very easy to transition the seat from the car to the strollers in their ClickConnect line (read more about that experience tomorrow!).  It's available exclusively at Babies "R" Us. The budgeting diva in me, also, loves this product because most children will transition from the infant carrier to a booster seat by utilizing this product!



Many thanks to the wonderful group of bloggers in Charlotte, NC - there was fantastic food and great conversation as we discussed the safety features of Graco's newest product! Special thanks to Flip 'N Chicken and Sky's the Limit! Custom Cakes & More for the deelish food; Photography by Jamie Lea for wonderful pictures; and, Dana from BabyElan {daily} for the invitation to connect.

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.
