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.

Yes, I purchased the SGT Knots for exactly that purpose. I can't feel the strap at all, I used a kingsize fitted mattress pad on top and the two side still work independently AND I can't feel the strap. Only problem seems to be keeping the kings size fitted sheet on both mattresses, lol, but that is a different issue entirely. Hope that helps! LET ME AMEND THIS: I don't keep the mattresses at HUGELY different settings. Sometimes just the foot on one side, sometimes just the head on the other, etc. If you have radically different adjustments to each side I imagine anything will give you a bit of trouble. For me it was well worth the money and I also bought the bridge for the center. Yes, I purchased the SGT Knots for exactly that purpose.

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

This is not the strap they show in the picture. That is the older model. The current strap they sell is the soft strap. It's like the older Garmin strap where it is the same material for the entire strap. This strap is better than the previous, my running partner has the older model, as it does NOT drop out during runs like the Garmin straps do. I just finished an Ironman event and wore this strap the entire time, even during the swim. Over the 13 hour event (for me), it did not drop out once and maintained steady readings the entire time. If you have had problems with previous straps, this is the one to get. Good Luck and hope this helped. This is not the strap they show in the picture. That is the older model.

Actually it is simpler. I have used my friend's trx and prefer the Woes because the straps can slide through the carabinier and adjust naturally. For instance with the trx you have to fiddle with both straps to make them even whereas you can often just shorten/lengthen one of the Woss straps, grab the handles and even the sides just by putting some weight on them(with hand or feet). The sliding function also allows for more interesting exercise variations. I have bought 5 sets for friends and they are all still going strong.

I've been using this for a while and it's an excellent device. As any strap, it can be made shorter or larger by pulling one of the ends; it's hard to explain in writing but any person who has one in your gym should be able to show it to you. Good luck!Ronald/Paraguay

I use this organizer on my Graco Snugrider stroller frame (for the carseat carrier)...when I collapse the stroller, this organizer seems to fit perfectly in the space between the stroller frame and the handles. I have never had to remove it from the stroller, but even if I did, I think it would be easy since it is only a velcro strap on each side which affixes this organizer to the stroller handle. I have had this organizer for 3 months now & my stroller frame is used 5 days/week (constantly opening & collapsing the stroller frame to put it in my car)...I have had zero issues with this organizer so far. I am very glad I have it :) I use this organizer on my Graco Snugrider stroller frame (for the carseat carrier)...when I collapse the stroller, this organizer seems to fit perfectly in the space between the stroller frame and the handles.

Sorry just a quick update for your question, this is actually an item i didnt purchase, i did purchase the diano brand like this version they look very much alike so i wouldnt actually know for sure because of brand wise BUT i see that the velcro straps are very alike in the same place so hopefully it will be the same outcome and sorry for the confusion.

If you haven't already decided - I'd go with the SnugRide and this frame. The SafeSeat isn't worth it. You won't want to haul the baby around in the carrier when it's heavy enough to exceed the SnugRide weight limit. In fact, our son outgrew the SnugRide at about 5 months by height (he's 99 percentile) and was about 16 lbs at the time and already too heavy to carry around when you add the 7lbs of the carrier. Also he was sitting up at that time, so we were able to go straight to the umbrella stroller.So...in summary I recommend the SnugRide, this frame, a good umbrella stroller (MacLaren Volo), and then switch to a convertible carseat (Evenflo Triumph Advance).

I had the opposite experience. I have 2 SnugRide 35s and not only could I not get them to fit but when I called BabyTrend they told me that the double snap n go will fit the Snugride and the Snugride 30, but not the Snugride 35. I found this out too late and ended up having to return by double snap n go and buy the Graco Quattro Tour Duo. It was heavier and not exactly what I wanted but it worked and now that my twins aren't in their infant seats anymore I can still use the stroller because it has seats.

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 know what you mean. Mine was the same. Droops over the back seat. Follow the instructions when you are tying the straps. Try to get it as tight as possible. I took a bungy cord and stretched it under the back end. If you have adults in the back seat, they still might contact top. I don't carry passengers often, so it is not a problem for me. I would rather have this top than have to mess with the bars on a standard soft top. I was thinking about using a piece of wood with some foam to keep the back of the top from sagging. Good luck!

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 Chicco Nextfit! I exchanged two Marathon G4s for the Nextfit. The Nextfits with the nine adjustable positions leveled better in our cars, and they were easier to adjust for our two year old. Lastly, the G4 took 15-20 minutes to install rear-facing using the tether whereas the Nextfit was solidly installed in two minutes. Addendum - I also felt that the Nextfit cradled our son's better than the Marathon G4 (e.g. his head stays upright in a neutral position while asleep.) Lastly, Chicco customer service is fantastic! We need replacement parts over the years for various Chicco strollers, a play yard, and a high chair, and they always responded wonderfully! The Chicco Nextfit!

On the Safety 1st website it states: We've included a safety strap to safely secure the following infant car seats in the rear position: Graco SnugRide, SnugRide 32, and SnugRide 35 Chicco KeyFit 30 Evenflo Serenade and Embrace 35 Britax Chaperone Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 So these don't "Click" in but you rest them on the bar in the back and secure them with a strap.

It is difficult. Those slider mechanisms (plastic things holding the straps parallel) are the way to do it. Like tightening or loosening a dog's collar or think about the slider on your bra strap that makes it tighter or looser. Same idea, but I bet the elastic stiff harness straps are a bit harder to deal with. I got one for my boyfriend as a gift. He's 5'2" tall & it was too big even at it's smallest setting & I had to return it.
