Whats the difference between the Graco SnugRide and Graco SafeSeat infant car seats? Can anyone tell me the difference between the Graco SnugRide and the Graco SafeSeat infant car seats? Thanks

no, it does not. I made this mistake when buying an extra base for our other car and could not figure out why it wouldn't work!

With the convertible car seats, I don't see why anyone would get safeseat. For next db I will get a snugride then use our convertible car seat. My db wanted a more "upright" seat asap and she was under the 1yo weight limit. The bucket seat becomes uncomfortable to them. You can use the covertible car seats up to 2 years rear facing, which is supposed to be the safest way to go. Then use them forward facing up to 65 lbs. So it doesn't make sense to get the largest bucket seat, besides you can't carry them in it after like 14 lbs.

I just wanted to mention that car seats do have an expiration date on them, they are molded into the plastic on the back of every carseat. The dates are typically 6 years from the date of manufacture. So even though it would seem you would only have to purchase two carseats, you may in fact have to buy more because of this. This is something that so few parents know about, but it is really important. There is a video on Utube showing what can happen with an expired car seat.

The Safeseat fits a larger child and is a slightly larger heavier seat. The Snugride is up to 22lbs (Wt w/o base: 7.5lbs/ Weight with base: 12.7lbs/ Dimensions: 24.2"H x 17.5"W x 26.7"D) The Safeseat is up to 30lbs (Wt w/o base: 9.8lbs/ Weight with base: 17 lbs/ Dimensions: 15.6"H x 18.7"W x 30.7"D)Hope this helps, I was wondering the same thing myself actually!!Good Luck!

Very good suggestion....One thing people tend to overlook is the stability of the bases/carseat systems...use YOUR body weight in the car seat to secure it tightly when installing but still make sure it is adjusted to the correct angle by manufacturer's recommendations (I learned this as part of being a car-seat installer when our police department participated in Safe-Kids carseat checks)...I have the Graco SnugRide32 for our little girl and having a base in my car and another in my husband's truck makes life very simple...

I had both a regular nautilus and an elite for my oldest and when I had my second I bought another elite for the following reasons. First off we do a lot of road trips and both the recline feature and adjustable headrest made a world of difference for my daughters when they slept in the car. Secondly it is a much heavier car seat which make me believe it is more comfortable as both my girls prefer to sit in it, my oldest actually asks for the elite seat. So for my family and I the elite is worth the extra money and more.

The car seats can face the same way and be clicked in for safety only if you use one Graco carseat and one Chicco carseat. The Graco connections face the opposite direction as the Chicco connections, so if you buy one of each, they can face the same direction while still being snapped in. This stroller is excellent. Very sturdy and well made. We love that we can push it up to a table in a restaurant and both babies can face us.

I started using this once she was over one year. I used a different Graco infant carrier from 0-1yr. The babies do sort of lie down/prop up in an infant carrier. Once transitioned to this carseat, she sits with her back fairly straight. It is not as straight as she will be once she's in a booster seat with no backing, but I wouldn't not consider this reclined like the infant carrier. She has never complained about this seat. She seems very comfortable and I feel safe with it.

I have become a pro at switching my children's car seats from different vehicles. I have two convertable car seats & an infant carrier car seat with two bases. it's definitely easier to install the base for the infant seat but I really like & feel my kids are safe n the convertable seats & the convertable seats really arnt very much more work at all to install.

I think it's the same thing just different way of saying it...???Just FYI I do not recommend the infant adapter. I bought a $10 snuzzler and my 9lb baby fits just fine while the back is fully reclined. He LOVES it! :) The adapter is bulky and you cannot close the stroller. I prefer not to have the baby in the car seat longer than necessary anyhow. This stroller is amazing and we get so many compliments on it! So happy I decided to pay a little more for something we'll use for the next 5+ years. Good luck!!

Yep! You can remove the pillow and safely use the seat once your child gets a little older. We have this car seat and now that our daughter is seventh months old and has much better head control we have removed the infant inserts from the seat. For more information on this seat you can look at the manual online http://download.gracobaby.com/ProductInstructionManuals/PD261464A.pdf Page 18 has the information about the infant insert. We really like this seat - it is easy to adjust and is light/easy to carry. However, one thing I'd like to warn you about is that the click connect sometimes does not fit adapters made for the Graco classic connect seats. For example, we have a BOB stroller and the Graco car seat adapter works only with the classic connect and not with the click connect. So if you have existing gear that you plan to use the car seat with, you may want to get the classic connect model. Good luck!

I was told by the company when I called to ask them about car seats that Graco car seats are compatible, but I'd call Kinderwagon to double check. (our kids were out of infant seats by the time we decided to order this stroller...) LOVE this stroller though! Perfect for airports and quick trips in and out of places!

We bought both this seat and the Britax Boulevard 70-3G. Both are great chairs. The Recaro's seat is not deep enough and makes it look uncomfortable but my kid doesn't complain. It has a really high back which makes it uncomfortable to get her in and out in our small car. If you're talking about a small infant, the seat does not come with an infant positioner that would make it more comfortable and more secure. The side protection wings also don't go all the way down for a tiny one. In my honest opinion, I think an infant car seat is better since it is built specifically for them. This one is much better for smaller toddlers. Pros: lots of venting so you don't have to worry about over heating. SUPER safe, steel frame. Cons: difficult install. Tall back even in a larger car. No infant positioner. I did LOVE my Graco Snugfit 35. They now make an even nicer Snugfit 40 that should last even longer than my 35. If I had to do it again, I would have gotten the Sung Fit 40 so that my 19 month old could still fit in it (35in height max) and then bought my Britax for ease of use again. I know I may have over burdened you with my answer. The seat is better for a toddler. But I wouldn't buy it again.

If you find the car seat support not enough for the baby, then go for this product. Also, it's important to keep the newborns head correctly positioned (straight), and to have cushy padding under it to eliminate the possibility of flat head. I don't think this extra comforting insert could cause any safety issues, just fill out your car seat, and if you find it too hard, or notice your little one isn't snug in it, by the insert.

I personally am using a Graco carseat with my Sit N Stand, however I have several friends who own the double Sit N Stand (which is why I got one) and they all use different brands of carseats with it. It is obvious when you click it in, that the "Baby Trend" brand carseat would fit the best, but it does hold other brands and you can recline the seat to help snug your carseat in closer. :-) I hope that helps a little bit.

No, there is not. My son is 11 months and we bought this for his sitter and grandmother to have in their cars. It serves it's purpose for quick trips around town for them, but I would not buy it for a child smaller than 6 months as there is no head support or cushion. It is very basic but has a good safety rating. For our family car my son has a much nicer Graco. It came with several head cushion options to add or subtract to the seat. On that note, the Graco takes up a lot of space in my Envoy. This car seat is smaller and fits in my husbands extended cab truck that only has a bench seat. No, there is not.

They dont work in the Graco SnugRide Click Connect 35 infant car seat! The Click Connect 35 it´s smaller than the stroller, so they don´t work with the "chick".Very disappointed, because you said that works.!

Hello. I researched so many different brands, types, & models of car seats before I purchased mine that I don't remember the different specs. I went to the actual manufacturers websites and called the manufacturers with lots of questions also. I just know that the Diono Radian RXT Convertible Car Seat was a better fit for my little girl. Just went and compared the two quickly and right off the Diono is forward facing with the 5 point harness up to 80 lbs whereas the Safety 1st is only to 40 lbs. I also like the steel alloy frame & aluminum reinforced side walls of the Diono. If you haven't visited the manufacturers website for Diono its us.diono.com. Thanks & Congrats:)
