Dee's post about the car seats reminded me I wanted to share this...
We just bought Graco's new Safe Seat for our new baby. It has all the safety features of the Snugride (rated tops by Consumer Reports) but now can keep a baby rear facing longer. It goes up to 30 lbs (instead of 22 lbs) and 32" (instead of 26"). Zach was out of his seat around 5 months b/c he was too tall. He was always under the weight limit though. With this seat he'd have been able to stay in it until about 15 months when he was over 32 inches.
It is a little pricier but you can hold off on getting the toddler seat longer. I know we won't be lugging around a heavier baby in it all the time but it will be nice to have the option of letting him sleep and taking the whole seat out longer than we did wih Zach.
I also got a great color combination called Samba at a local baby store--Blue metallic and black. They don't sell this color at BRU but they do have some other great color choices there.
