I got this infant car seat for my first daughter who was 8 lbs and 19 inches at birth. It was really too big for her and I had to use the infant positioning support and the additional GoldBug 2 in 1 infant head support when we took her home from the hospital. Our car was latch compatible so installation was easy. She grew quickly and we eventually bought a Britax Decathalon (the best convertible ever!) and I loaned it to my friend who had twins. She already had a Graco Snugride from her first child. Anyways, I noticed a lot of differences between the two carseats:
Pros:
Very well padded and washable cover. There was an extreme difference between the Snugride and the Connection padding and overall quality.
Security straps are well-constructed and didn't twist at all.
Seat is deep and narrow, which is good for small infants and somehow seems safer.
Installation of the base using LATCH in the bucket seats in the outboard (as opposed to the center) position was super easy and very secure. My husband and my friend's husband struggled with the Snugride base which didn't fit well except in the center position of the backseat. It kept tipping up and seemed loose. I think it was because of the bucket seats since they didn't have that problem with the first child and it was the same car (Acura TL).
Putting the carrier in the base and removing it was super easy.
Carrier has shorter handle which is a plus for shorter parents.
Cons:
Connection doesn't fit in the shopping cart upper area.
It's a bit expensive.
If you have the Combi Savvy Soho stroller, it was often difficult to tell if you snapped on the carrier since it would "snap on" and the carrier would indicate it was locked, but then one side wasn't attached. We usually would lift up on the carrier handle to check and then really push down hard to get it locked on.
The canopy is a bit small and doesn't provide enough sun protection in the stroller...it was also confusing to remove it to get the seat cover off.
All in all, I loved this car seat and felt it was safe and good enough for my friend's babies. She also informed me that she uses it a lot and puts the smaller twin in it since it was deeper.

The Car seat is very good but the way it stands in the car is not the best.
It's not to heavy.
I do recommend it.
Together with the Combi double stroller it's a nice deal.
