- EPS Foam in all Graco SnugRide infant car seats
- EPS stands for "Expanded Polystyrene", more commonly known as Styrofoam. Used in all types of safety equipment, EPS foam has proven to be one of the most reliable and effective impact absorbing materials available.
- An array of new fabrics, with varying features*
The Graco SnugRide with EPS infant car seat is a highly popular and top-rated infant car seat that provides first-rate transportation safety for your baby, plus convenient mobility options for you. Even with its relatively low price, the Graco SnugRide with EPS receives unmatched praise for its safety by leading consumer magazines and websites.
Equipped with a padded 5-point harness, a retractable sun canopy for shade, and a padded headrest insert to support your baby's head, the Graco SnugRide with EPS is both secure and comfortable for your baby. For you, the ergonomic carrying handle and highly rated stay-in-car base make transporting your infant a very simple process: just click the infant carrier into the base and your beloved passenger is as safe as can be; or remove it once the car ride is over and you can carry baby where you need to be without disturbing their sleep.
The Graco SnugRide with EPS infant car seat will serve you and your baby very well, from your first ride home from the hospital 'til the day he or she is 22 lbs. and ready to move up to a convertible seat. Like all infant car seats, the SnugRide is rear facing only. It safely supports a child up to 22 lbs., and/or 29 inches tall, and is compatible with a long list of strollers.
By transferring your SnugRide baby carrier to one of these compatible strollers, you can create your own fantastic baby travel system. This will (hopefully) make every trip with your baby to the park or mall a scream-free process, because you can get your baby out of the car, into the stroller, and back again without ever removing them from the carrier. In addition, once they have outgrown the Snugride you can continue to use the stroller, without the infant carrier, for another year or more.

Graco SnugRide infant car seat Reviews
great seat for pickup truck
Thrilled!!!
Great seat
Love It!!!!
Weak Base
Comments from The Staff:
Thank you so much for your review. I would agree with you that the plastic bases of the Graco seem to be a bit on the "cheap" side but it is one of the more affordable options out there for a reason. That is not saying that this seat is not good or safe to use, however. These car seats are upheld to the same testing standards as all others and from a safety perspective are just as safe as the more expensive Peg Perego Primo Viaggio
or Britax Companion
which use more rigid plastics in their bases. I'm a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and I can't even tell you how many Graco Snugride's I've seen, installed and inspected in the past 5 years - not once have I had to tighten the seat belts so much that I was causing visible stress to the plastic base itself. I would be concerned if you needed to tighten that much in order to get a good install and may actually recommend changing installation from belt to LATCH or switching seat positions or even car seats. At the very least I'd take it to your local Seat Check Location to have someone else take a look-see. Sorry to jump on the "love fest". I just try to serve as the mediator here and while it may sound like I'm touting the Snugride I save my true love for the Chicco KeyFit 30
!
Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you again for the review!
