I just bought this car seat yesterday in-store.
Per the manual, the rear-facing height limit is 43” and 1” below the headrest adjustment handle. The infant inserts can be used up to 15lbs.
The Snugglebugz information placket states rear-facing up to 49. 2”, incorrect! The sales associate told me the infant inserts could be used until 22lbs, also incorrect! And the manufacture date was already 1 year old.
I’m sure it’s still a good seat, but I pulled the trigger seeing the high rear-facing height limit, only to get home and realize I was misled. I thought, great my babe is 19lbs I can still make use of the inserts, nope. And that is a serious difference in height and usage! With a long torso babe, time will tell if I need to buy another rear-facing seat later on. Really disappointing.
The seat itself looks to be great, good recline options, swivel is super nice, rated well in crash tests; so I hate to give such a bad rating but feel it is important for other shoppers to know.
