Graco Safeseat- do the straps adjust like the cheap Snugride? I was reading the reviews on the current version of the Snugride and a major complaint was the fact that the straps can only be adjusted from the back. Does that also apply to the Safeseat? Please let me know as I am looking into the Safeseat and don't want to have that problem. Thanks! Graco Safeseat- do the straps adjust like the cheap Snugride?

FYI -- some SnugRides do have the front adjust alsobut all SafeSeats that I've seen have the convenient front adjust (I love my SS and highly recommend it)

The safe seat does not adjust in the back, it adjust just like convertable does...by pulling the webbing between the babies leg at the end of the seat. Hope that helps.

No. This seller is hoping you won't mind when they ship you the softstrap instead. When I alerted them to the error, they told me the wearlink strap isn't available any more, and offered me a small refund. When I suggested they shouldn't advertise something they can't sell, the offered me a full refund. Bottom line, if you're expecting the more expensive wearlink strap, don't try to buy it here.

I was wondering this, too. I have a Sugride 35 car seat, and I also have this Snugride base, as a hand-me-down. We intended on using it in our second vehicle, but I can't get the car seat to fit in it to save my life. I was wondering if there was something I was missing. But, as far as I can tell, these to are not compatible with each other.

I have the same question as bareto, the information above says this comes with the T31 chest strap, not the new wearlink one. Is this correct?(I actually hope it is, I hate the new design)

It's pretty similar... I don't have the Beach Body one, only this one, but here are the only differences I see: (1) The beach body one has a clip to your pull-up bar, this one has a circle with a clasp, no big deal. (2) The beach body one appears to position the clamp that holds the bands parallel with your body so it doesn't rub, but this one is positioned perpendicular and tends to rub against my arm or shirt (3) The beach body one appears to have the adjuster on the top, this one is on the bottom, which causes the strap to hang on the floor when you're short like me and need to tighten it completely. Overall none of this is a big deal considering the price difference, I kept it anyway and it's working great for me. Good luck!

I wondered about that too; my dog has a broad chest but narrow waist. I figured it was easier to go too big rather than too small. I got the medium, and it adjusted nicely and the buckles stayed tight; it was really perfect. I think if you play it safe and go bigger, you can always take the straps in with a couple of stitches wherever you need to adjust a little more.

Has anyone else actually done the modification M. Ferguosn suggested in his posting? Also, what 6 screws? I only see four on the side near the strap lug. Thanks.

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!

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there. But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

Thank you for your reply ... I have actually had this stroller for 11 months and I've been putting the Graco Snugride in the back the whole time. It is completely safe and snug. The weight of the carrier falls well beween the two sets of wheels and is extremely sturdy. I appreciate your warning of "looking like such and incompetant" ... but I would never, ever put my children in danger, even if I don't follow every rule to the letter.

Sorry to be so late to the discussion, but I own this carseat and I just want to be clear what you mean to by "adjust". If you are referring to pulling the straps tighter once the child is placed in the seat, then yes, the adjustment is made from the front of the seat. There is a strap located inbetween your child's thighs that you pull to tighten the straps, to loosen there is a little metal button hidden there that you push to release. If you are referring to raising the straps to a higher position for when the child is taller, than you must re-thread the straps through the back into the higher slots manually. I hope this makes sense!

Did u buy the cart cover from Amazon or from National Discount Stores that is advertised on Amazon? I had trouble with mine that I purchased from National, the straps was one of the problems, when I tried to return it thay would not honor their refund policy. I guess I should have reported it to Amazon. Don

I bought it to use with my Cosco Comfy Carry Elite. It does not lock into place, like it does on the base in the car. I have to use the straps. Somewhere in the product detail information I saw a list of the different seats and how they work with it. Mine specifically said it does not latch. Check the info for yours and see what it says. If it doesn't say, you can assume it needs the straps.One thing you might want to know is that the dual front wheels swivel freely and make it hard to steer. Also, anything you put in the basket underneath you cannot get to without lifting the car seat off. It still is useful to me, I just have to live with the limitations.

Darcy, just make that the straps are threaded through the back and that when you pull the straps to adjust height, you are pulling through the clamp side NOT the side you squeeze to open the jaws. If you haven't gotten it already you will. just mess with it. lemme know if you need a pic...

the headrest can be moved up with out uninstalling & belts can be adjusted for tightness but if you need to move the straps to a different shoulder level have to be able to get into the back of seat - same as with britax or graco -- all i do is release the safety anchor & undo one belt in less then 5 inutes my strap is adjusted & my seat is back in place

I've had both. For some reason the newer soft strap digs into my chest and chafes me, while the other did not. I've tried several adjustments to no avail. I'm going back to the older standard strap and monitor combo. I'm average weight and build at 5' 9" and 170 lbs.

I got it at amazon one side works with the seat belt . The Other side clicks on harness. This is really nice. I have to try it again , it was too big for my dog, she would get out of it. Amazon also sold a strap that goes in seat belt then connects to her collar. That works the best for us.I also got a smaller bed that she sits in. So if you have a dog under 8 pounds don't do it. This harness can be adjusted.
