A few years ago, momentum began to build for the case of keeping your child rear-facing for longer than the recommended one year. So, last year when the American Academy of Pediatrics officially updated their official stance, recommending rear-facing car seats at least until the age of two, with the idea that toddlers are more than five times safer when rear-facing.
Naturally, many parents glanced at their kids and then glanced at their infant carriers, scratching their heads at how on earth they would be able to adhere to these new guidelines -- after all, their child was already crammed in there, legs squished between the carrier and the seat.
Enter: the Graco® SnugRide® Click Connect™ 40!
I had the opportunity to meet with about a dozen other Atlanta area mom bloggers, and we got an up-close look at this innovative car seat. Some of its key features, allowing it to stand apart from other infant car seats currently on the market include:
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.

| Comes in two designs: Mena (left) and Moonstruck (right) Thanks, Krystyn of Really, Are You Serious for sharing this pic! |
- simple "click" technology, allowing for super-easy, yet secure, transfer from car to stroller
- accommodates 4 to 40 lbs rear facing -- that's a full two years for most infants/toddlers
- 8 reclining positions to adjust for growing legs, and with more leg room the child sits up more, like a forward-facing seat
- a foot rest/kick plate (with actual feet on it!) to keep your vehicle's seat safe from busy feet (see pic below)
- an easy, peasy harness adjustment mechanism: one swift move allows for easy adjustment -- no more pulling the back of the car seat apart!

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.
