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.

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 have a honda fit (same size as a prius) and have had a heck of a time finding a seat to fit this, especially with 3 kids! I had the graco comfortsport, it didnt fit well either rear or forward facing, went with the graco myride 65, same issue and its HUGE! tried a cheap cosco from walmart and it fit fairly well forward and not too bad rear facing but it was so flimsy I didnt feel it was going to hold up in case of a crash. Alot of my friends have the britax marathon or advocate so I decided it was time to try one but our finances dont allow a new seat. I found a used (spare seat that was never actually used) for super cheap from a local mom so I bought that and it fits PERFECTLY in our fit. It was a bit hard to get to fit that way so I had to roll up a towel but he will be forward facing pretty soon so not that major of a problem too me, all our seats have to have rolls. I would recommend this seat in a heartbeat, Im not a fan of the colors of any of the britaxs but you can always find a cover on ebay to custom fit! I also love the velcro to hold the straps so Im not digging around under his butt for the straps. I have a 14 month old who is 25 pounds and 33" tall.

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 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 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.

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...

They can be completely undone. They are velcro on the front, so you can adjust while on you. I've never noticed the velcro before, until I was asked to answer this question. I've never adjusted them, nor have I needed to. That's when I realized that all traditional strap adjustments need continual adjusting after washing. This never has. Also, I never dry my sports bras- I always hang them to dry. I hope this answers your question! I love this bra!!! Seriously- this and the Maia (I think that's what it's called) are my faves.

I do not have this problem, but it may be helpful to consult customer service. The button in the front of the car seat helps to adjust the straps, if you haven't tried that already. Good luck!

Hi Amy, I check the info on Baby Trend website about this item to answer your question, only compatible with Graco - Snugride, Snugride 32, Safe Seat I hope this will help. Best regard, Henry

It's the same thing. The newer versions, the the cushion part of the straps come off by velcro, where as in the past you had to remove them by removing the straps from the base. I think that is the only difference.

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!

Hi Camila, I was very disappointed to find out that "it doesn't" the way the prior models do, which as you may know, you just pull the handle between the child's fit and adjust, that easy... this model has 3 different positions but you can only change it by removing the carseat from the seat, adjusting the new position pulling a lever from the bottom back of the carseat and then installing it again, witch is very disappointing to me, I have 4 children (always have bought Maxi-Cosi) and that was the main thing I loved about this car seats.. the child is asleep, pull and change position, the child woke up, pull and seat him/her up again, sadly doesn't work like that with this one.

The straps are my biggest complaint. They can get tangled because of the padding surrounding them. It does sit a little higher then our graco which works well because of my small car however it doesn't look uncomfortable for wee one. I still prefer this seat over the Graco.

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.

So, it's a bit deceptive, in that the Graco seat has to be in recline mode in order to be rear-facing. Basically, you pull out these "feet" from the underside of the seat in order to put the car seat into recline position when you install to face backwards, and it can't be adjusted into an upright position unless the seat is facing forward, which is one of the drawbacks of the seat and one of the pluses of the Britax Marathon. That said, my daughter loves this seat. She's a year and a half, but on the smaller side, and she has been riding (and napping) in this seat comfortably since she was a little over a year old.
