There are few things as important as choosing a car seat for your child. It is one of those items that you will use nearly every day and requires both comfort for your little one and the utmost safety features. As a parent, one thing that I will not compromise on is the knowledge that each time I travel, my children are as safe and secure as humanly possible. Now there are plenty of choices out there and many of them are either very practical or very cute. No longer do you have to make that choice (because as much as it pains us as parents sometimes, you will always choose practical over cute. Even if it means your neutral living room is now colored in a rainbow of baby bouncers and swings or that your car seat no longer matches the interior of your car). The Snugli seat by Evenflo is both practical and cute. THANK YOU, SNUGLI!!
With its trendy grey pinstripe design that features lime green accents, it is just fun to look at. Not only that, both of my older children (ages 5 and 3) love how soft and comfy the seat is. The first time my daughter sat in it, she said, “It feels like the couch!” This is especially crucial because my parents live approximately 10 hours away and it is a looooooong drive. Having a couch-turned-car-seat in our vehicle is literally a dream come true. It has two cup holders (because as a kid, sometimes you NEED both juice and water), soft padding in every imaginable area, and memory foam that molds itself to your child’s unique shape.
As much as my kiddos love how cozy this seat is, I am in love with all of its safety features. The Snugli Booster has temperature controlling fabric (a big deal, since my children seem to go to extremes when it comes to being hot or cold), SureLATCH connectors for quick and easy installation, and is certified for use on airplanes (when used in 5-point harness mode). Its three layers of foam reduce side impact crash forces by 50% (now that is a big deal!).
We had originally hoped to use this car seat for our youngest daughter, who turned one this past month. But with the new car seat recommendations stating that children should be rear-facing until age two, we decided that it would be much better suited for my three-year old. Benjamin is a bit too big for his current car seat but is also not quite ready for a booster seat with only a lap belt. He just does not have the upper body strength yet to hold his torso in place when he falls asleep sitting up. So the Snugli seat allows him the comfort of a booster without compromising his safety should he fall asleep in the car. Score. The best part is that this seat converts from a 5-point harness to a lap-belt once your child is ready, so this seat will be with us for the long haul. And with its super sturdy design and feel, I have no doubt that it will withstand the test of time.
With all of the important choices we have to make as parents, this one is a no-brainer. The Snugli Booster Car Seat has it all. Available at buybuy BABY and Albee Baby, this booster car seat is a must have for your family!
