Graco Infant Car Seats – Harness System Ensures Safety

Graco infant car seats boast an array of features that are sure to enhance your child’s comfort while providing the ultimate in safety.

When looking for an infant seat, you should be aware that these seats are made for newborns up to 20 pounds. Obviously, infant car seats are smaller, making them perfect for your new little bundle of joy. This smaller size also means a better fit and allows you to remove the infant seat from the car without waking up your sleeping newborn.

All of the infant seats in Graco’s SnugRide® line actually snap into a separate car base so parents can install the infant seat’s base once, then simply snap the car seat in place. And, unsnapping is just as easy. The only drawback here is that you may need to purchase a base for each of your vehicles. Because these are priced moderately and allow for so much ease and functionality, most Graco SnugRide® owners find the extra purchase well worth the small additional investment. Keep in mind, Graco’s SnugRide® infant seats double as a carrier, allowing you to transport your child to and from the car with very little effort, too.

The entire Graco SnugRide® is as stylish as it is functional. The SnugRide® 8643COV in Coventry comes with Graco’s 5-point harness system, which promotes a snug fit for your infant in five places (much like a race car driver’s harness), while the SnugRide® 8643COV in Coventry is the same, smart design, but available in a practical, light earth-tone fabric with eggshell-colored windowpane design.

Considered a top seller for it’s strong consumer ratings, reasonable price, reliable carrying handle, stay-in-car base and canopy, there is very little difference in the SnugRide® 8643COV in Coventry and the SnugRide® 8649MTR in Metropolitan, other than the colors and overall look. The SnugRide® 8649MTR in Metropolitan looks more sleek with its black fabric and silver base, with the SnugRide® 8643COV in Coventry looking much more traditional.

Baby Classics SnugRide® 8649CNP in Central Park has the same features found in these two, along with the GracoPedic™ foam for luxurious comfort, an all-weather boot for blanket and warmth, as well as a double infant head support.

The SnugRide® 8446LSHL in Shelton (gray base with gray windowpane fabric), SnugRide® 8608DIA in Navy Diamond (navy) and SnugRide® 8643DOH in Days of Hunny (Winnie the Pooh) are equipped with front adjusting harness straps, infant head support, 5-point harness safety, stay-in-car base, an ergonomic carrying handle, as well as coming LATCH equipped for easy installation. The SnugRide® 8608DIA in Navy Diamond and SnugRide® 8643DOH in Days of Hunny also include cold boots to help keep your infant warm and comfy, even on the coldest winter days.

SnugRide® 8607NGS in Navy Gingham Squares has a little peek-a-boo window that lets mom and dad look in on their little one and also boast the same features as the SnugRide® 8446LSHL in Shelton, SnugRide® 8608DIA in Navy Diamond and SnugRide® 8643DOH in Days of Hunny, while the Baby Classics SnugRide® 8607LAG in Laura showcases the same features, along with lighter colors and a more feminine feel.

Rounding out the tried and true Graco SnugRide® line are Graco SnugRide®8465HEA in Heatwave (two-toned with both black and gray tomes), SnugRide® 8643HMP in Hampton (black base with a nice black and white “executive looking” print), SnugRide® 8645TRI in Trinity (dark) and SnugRide® 8643DRM in Dreamer (good balance of navy and light blue), to name a few. Like the others in this favored product line, these infant seats are practical and packed with the same features (front adjusting harness straps, infant head support, 5-point harness safety, stay-in-car base, an ergonomic carrying handle, as well as coming LATCH equipped for easy installation), as well as more tailored looks.

Perhaps the most sought-after in this high-end, yet reasonable priced group are the SnugRide® 8645BEB in Bently Bear, SnugRide® 8646CJG in Colby, SnugRide® 8642JUP in Jungle Paws SnugRide® 8642THE in Theo, SnugRide® 8610JKP in Jackpot and the SnugRide® 8465BKW in Blackwell. With many of the same features, these infant car seats are set apart by a more “cutesy” look, perfect for any newborn. With most of the names truly indicative of the car seats fabric (yes, Jungle Paws really is precious little jungle animals on a light, bright fabric and the Bentley Bear infant seat really does have happy, dancing Bentley Bears), these seats are on the top of everyone new parent’s wish list.

All Graco SnugRide® seats come with removable padding that is machine washable. The metal and plastic parts of the Graco infant seats can be cleaned with mild soap and water and the harness straps can be spot cleaned, making them perfect for the busy mom and the messy infant.

Also, the Graco SnugRide® seats can be chosen in fabrics and prints that coordinate with other Graco products, including Graco baby swings, Graco high chairs, Graco strollers, Graco baby monitors (yes, one of these is white and blue so it’s sure to match your other Graco products), and Graco activity centers, to name a few.
