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?

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.

Is there anything on the back seats that this can be hooked up to? The hammock has straps that are adjustable that fit around the headrest. Without headrests I can't think of an alternative way to use the hammock. Also, be aware that the seat belt thing that comes with this that allows you to secure your dog with the seatbelt clasp is not ideal for a larger dog but is great to secure your dog temporarily while loading groceries, etc. Otherwise, this hammock has been awesome. My dog is super comfortable in it, it's really flexible so it can be used just as a cover and the zipper down the middle allows for half up half down which is great when driving my dog and a person in the back seat.

Both the neck and girth straps are quite adjustable. I have used this harness on two ferrets, from about 3 months old, and only about a pound and a half. Now they are over a year old, fully grown, and they still fit well. Be aware, ferrets are incredibly flexible, and can back out of the harness if it's not super tight. I don't like to make them so tight, I just ensure that there is never tension on the leash to allow them to back out. Just keep slack in the leash, and they can't back out. It did take them a couple times to get used to them, but now they love it. I love these harnesses, better than any others I've seen. Both the neck and girth straps are quite adjustable.

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

You will love this. In fact I love this one better than the one I got for my other car (which is nylon) and my dog slides around. The material on this one prevents sliding. The straps are pretty long - I use this one in my SUV. And yes, they do adjust. I feel the product is very well made and very safe for your doggie! Good luck.

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!

I just tried it and its a no go. Main problem is there is not a notch in the base for the seat to rest in for the safety strap(think an "n" shape). Mine was a keyfit 30.

I haven't had this problem. The plastic that wraps around the seat post is similar or identical to those straps you see on good bike racks that sit on the trunks of cars. If you are concerned about wear on the seat post, you could easily put in a thin gasket or even a bit of cloth. But when I've tightened the strap snugly, I've had no problems. This is a very simple, effective, cool device.

This could be pertinent, depending on your build: I had trouble getting the shoulder straps to be narrow enough side-to-side. I'm 5'6" with a slim/avg build, and the straps just slipped off of my shoulders. Tightening them just made the pretty-stiff straps bend on their edges, so I returned it and got another carrier (Ergo) with softer/more closely set straps straps. Could be just me, though!

Yes, it's very easy to install and adjust.It also has both the isofix as well as the lap/shoulder belt option. The isofix being easier than the belt. My wife and I had purchased two of these, one for both of our cars. It's a very bulky seat, so I don't recommend it for smaller cars if you have another little one in a booster or car seat. It's very padded on and seat and seems to be really put together. My wife is very picky and researched every aspect or this seat. Recaro apparently makes sports car seats for adults too. We've had the seats for 7 months and we are very happy with them. Definitely worth the money.

@S. Herzog- This isn't a long-lasting seat. Depending on your budget, there are other ones that will last a LOT longer. The Evenflo SecureKid is one of them. The Graco Nautilus is another (and lasts longer than the SecureKid). This is a note for ALL who commented her and said they think a coat is fine-- Winter coats aren't allowed to be used by car seat manufacturers. The reason is all that puffiness under the harness compresses on impact and suddenly, there's a LOT of loose harness that a child can be thrown out of (or shaken around like a rag doll in). Think of it like a parachute harness; you don't want too much between the child or the harness will suddenly be too loose when its needed most. Please look for a CPST- Child Passenger Safety Technician- to go over what seats would work best with your child, your vehicle and your budget and who will show you tips on installing (9/10 seats aren't in correctly) seats, when they're outgrown, how to readjust and install etc. You'd be surprised at how much you didn't know (I was shocked too way back when.. and I thought I'd read every manual and watched every video known to man on the topic!). http://cert.safekids.org/get-car-seat-checked or google CPST + your zip code.

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...

We have both the Frontier & the Nautilus. Without going into specific inches, i can tell you that the crotch strap slots are closer to the front of the seat (i.e., less "shallow") than on the Nautilus and it is also slightly longer and the button is easier to press to release (its still childproof, but i feel like I am not going to break my thumb in the process). The way the lap hooks are positioned also allow for more room so they're not clamping down on my sons inner thighs. Hands down the configuration is much better than the Nautilus. The price does reflect that, but trust me, it's worth it to be frustration-free! We have both the Frontier & the Nautilus.

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

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 had the same issue with mine. I just dint installed it. Most changing pads comes with safety straps. I changed the one it came with and bought one that is more comfortable for the baby.

I have the City Jogger "Elite" and I got the infant car seat adapter bar. It never "clicked" for me on the adapter so I never felt too comfortable using it so I only used it once or twice with the strap that was on the adapter. With that said, I read and looked at YouTube videos and it seemed to work for them, but not for me. However, I loved the car seat especially with the snap and go stroller. I felt it was more convenient to use the strap and go stroller anyway.However, I come from a tall family and my little one is tall so in some ways I wish I would have gotten a car seat that went up to 35 inches because my girl grew out of it by 8 months. So many opinions and things to think about but it will all come together! Good luck!
