Last week I had the opportunity to attend a Graco® SnugRide® Click Connect™ 40 party along with fourteen other great women to learn about this revolutionary car seat. Did you know that The American Academy of Pediatrics is now recommending that babies sit rear-facing until two-years of age? Yep! That’s right and I am a guilty mother who turned baby #1 to forward facing before the age of one. In my defense, until a few months ago infant carriers had height and weight limitations. If you’re worried about baby’s legs getting squished or lying on angle they are still five times safer sitting rear facing versus forward facing.
At the party we were given a demonstration of the Graco® SnugRide® Click Connect™40. This carrier is the first of it’s kind, as it allows babies to be rear facing from birth to age two. Another awesome feature for mom’s is that this seat does not require re-threading as the baby grows! I know my husband would have appreciated this feature with our previous carrier for both of our children.
If you’re thinking to yourself, how can a two-year-old fit into the same seat they did at birth? Graco® has literally thought of everything with this seat! It has eight reclining positions to allow for additional leg room as your baby grows. As an added bonus or a selling point for me was the adjustable kick plate! Yes, it has a kick plate to eliminate scuffs and marks from your cars upholstery. This plate also slides up and down to accommodate the growing baby, did I mention it also has cute footprint impressions?
Graco® is known for their gorgeous prints and this infant carrier comes in Moonstruck for boys and Mena for girls. They did not miss a beat when it comes to the detailing and safety of this carrier!

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.

I just saw this carseat in the Babies R Us catalog and thought it was a really great idea! Unfortunately, I don’t have $200 to shell out for a new carseat when the one we have now is practically brand new.
