I am concerned about the plastic integrity of my 2006 graco snugride infant car seat.the seat was manufactured in july of 2006 and has a "use until" date of december 2012. I have noticed numerous white areas indicating an issue with the plastic integrity on both the base and the car seat itself.contacting graco was unsatisfactory as they stated that it was probably related to the dyes.these areas have recently shown up, and i am concerned that they may indicate a problem with the manufacturing of the seat as it's not that old, has never been dropped, and has never been involved in a vehicle accident.

Went to put my daughter in carseat this morning, and carrier would not attach to base. The bottom part latched, but the hook would not latch up underneath. Took her out and got it to latch, but when proceeded to put the carrier back onto the base, it would not latch again. Therefore, i was unable to use the infant carrier because of it not wanting to latch properly.

Recall on car seat buckle.

I have a graco snugride maufactured 1-12-07. I noticed, upon inspection, that this seat has very obvious spots of weakened plastic. I called the company about this matter and they offered me a $40 rebate. Now this seat new is roughly $80-90. Or they could have me pay for shipping and return the seat when this is obviously a defect not caused by me.

There is a luxury foam pad between the seat cover and the hard plastic of my child's infant car seat. (graco snugride 35 1761417 cs flint). My child is able to stick their arm between the cover and hard plastic and pick at the foam. My child is then able to put the foam in her mouth, which is a choking hazard. I have had to pull over three times to remove the foam from their mouth before my child choked on it. I have found similar complaints in reviews of this item. The car seat is two years old but in very good condition. There has been no damage to the car seat, other than that the foam now has pieces ripped out of it. My child is in danger of choking because the car seat pad does not fully cover the luxury foam pad underneath it and my child is capable of picking the foam apart and putting it in her mouth. Graco sent me a new foam pad to try and fix the problem, but it did nothing. My child can still pull it out and choke on it.

Graco company stated graco snugride 30 carrier is allowed to be used with graco snugride 32 base however when used together the parent is not able to identify the correct angle for the seat because there is no angle indicator visible.graco customer service stated the parent has to view the "triangle" on the side of the seat for proper angle placement however there is no instructions to verify this or guide the user on how to view the correct angle.

This is not a major complaint, but i was installing a new graco snugride base (with infant seat model #1786087, manufacture date: 12/30/10) and went to adjust the foot. The new style of the foot is not easy to adjust and as i tried to moved it, it suddenly gave way and my finger was smashed between the base and the foot. I didn't sustain a major injury but it is sore and i can see this happening again very easily to other users. I never once had a problem like this with the previous design.

I purchased an infant car seat for my daughter when the carseat is sitting without the babyittilts backwards fully it even did it with my newborn in it until she reach a higher weight it didn't hurt her because she was strapped in and sitting on carpet but if she was not strap in and sitting in my kitchen she may have became seriously injured.

I was shopping for car seats at burlington coat factory, on zeier rd, in madison wi. I noticed that they were selling a floor model graco car seat at a discounted rate. I have never seen floor models for sale before in a store, and in fact have seen labels sewn into floor model car seats at other retailers (target, etc) that indicate such models are not to be sold for consumer use and are only meant to serve as a model. I do not know if this is against any law or administrative code but wanted to report this in the event that it is.

My graco snugride base was hardly used at all--only for 3-4 months installed in my vehicle (october 06 to february 06), and the install was correct and checked. After this, we took the base out and stored it in the top of a closet with nothing under or over it, in climate controlled conditions. I did not check for this defect when i uninstalled it, i just put it in the closet because it was no longer needed. When i got it out for use with our second child (june 08) i noticed the problem.the bottom part of the base seems off-set from the top part of the base. The hooks on the left side that hold the two pieces together (and allow for adjusting of the seat recline) are stick out, but the ones on the right side are completely inside the opening, so when you push on top of the restraint (the way a car seat would push on it) the right side just falls. I have pictures if they are needed. I was told by graco to buy a new base, but not told what would have caused this.

The handle to the carseat handle sticks and wont move. It happens everytime i use the carseat, nothing has been done to fix it.

The two spring loaded metal clasps on the bottom of the car seat got stuck on the metal latches on the base of the car seat. The car seat will not detach from the base. This scared me into purchasing a new car seat because if i were to get into a car accident, i wouldn't have been able to easily detach the car seat from the base. I would have had to unbuckle the seat belt and pull the entire car seat out, base and all.

My childs graco snugride classic connect car seat is not working properly. The straps tighten unevenly. Sometimes they will not loose and it is difficult to remove her from the seat. Most often one side will tighten to the safe recommendation of tightness and the other strap will have way too much slack in it. I am concerned about the safety of this product. It started out every once in awhile but i could mess with it to make it work. Now it does it every time. *dt

There was a car crash. I was driving north, someone ran the stop sign and i t-boned them. Both cars were totaled. During the accident, my 10 week old son was in the backseat in his graco carseat facing the rear end of the car. His seat came out of the base and flew behind my seat. This seat was not very safe at all, granted he did not get hurt. What is saying he couldn't have if one little thing wouldn't have been different. His seat isgraco, and i believe the model number is pd100672a. I feel something should be done about this, so it does not happen again and cause a very serious injury.

The carseat base is reinstalled weekly at minimum in attempt to decrease the frequency that the car seat flips. Manufacturer was contacted. Their recommendation was "if the car seat is not fitting safe in the middle seat, then you would want to use one of the side seats with the latch system."toyota recommends the carseat be installed in the center seat however.

My son keep getting his fingers stuck in the little open parts where the seat belt would go when its in the car.

I have a graco snugride 35 infant care seat, purchased in 2012, in great condition and never in an accident. Recently when trying to remove my five month old infant from the seat i was barelyable to get the connector at the bottom of the 5-point harness to open. I was trying with all my strength for at least five minutes. I was about to resort to cutting the straps to get her out. But after taking a break, with one final all out push on the button i was able to open it. I have used this seat many times and with my other child so it was not user in-experience. I suspect sand or other debris to have gotten in the connector and it stuck. After open i blew very hard on the piece to try to move any debris. I have not had any reoccurring issues to date. I know that other graco seats have been recalled for faulty connectors that will not open. My infant was not in thecar or danger. I am sharing this because had this been in a dangerous or dire situation it could have been disastrous and endangered my child's life. I have ordered a new connector fromgraco's site. As the infant seats are still under review i thought it important to share my experience. *dtno invalid

Snugride carseat; model 1750727; date of manufacture - 11-05-2010i noticed a couple pieces of foam in my carseat after i would take my son out. I thought somehow the friction from him wiggling or kicking his legs was rubbing the fabric material against the foam underneath and somehow becoming "worn" and loose.my concern is that the foam is accessible to my baby. He has on more than 1 occasion been found to have the foam pieces about the size of a quarter, in his mouth. This is a choking hazard! he can fit his fingers in the gap between the fabric material and the plastic carseat and pull the foam out in large pieces. If i am required to have a rear facing carseat, i cannot watch him. Babies put everything in their mouths - including this foam. I am afraid he is going to choke without my knowledge or worse someone else has this carseat and not aware of this major flaw. I have since put velcro between the fabric and the plastic to try to prevent him from further putting his fingers in there.

Graco car seat recall.mr

I have a safety concern regarding a graco snugride seat, model 8446lfkb, manufactured in august 2003.according to the product literature and instructions, this seat is rated for infants from 5 to 20 lbs. My newborn is a full-term baby and is 7.5 lbs/20" she does not fit safely into the seat. With the straps set to the correct height (bottom holes), i cannot tighten the straps to where they're snug against my child. When iam pulling the tensioner strap all the way, the bracket attaching the shoulder straps butts up against the bottom of the seat still leaves enough room to easily slip a couple of fingers in between the straps and my child. Since it's not safe to put something behind my child, and not safe to leave that much slack, i cannot use this seat. This seat worked well for my first child, but she was nearly 9 pounds at birth. This should be a relatively simple problem to address, simply by shortening the straps to where this child would be snug in the seat. I do not feel comfortable using this seat until this problem is addressed. I'm sure i'm not the only one that has this problem, and i expect most parents are unaware of it, as they are likely to incorrectly think the child is in the seat securely when the metal bracket reaches the end of its travel, making it impossible to tighten any further.

**the model number for this seat is not 8402, the correct number was not available on the complaint form. The correct model number for this car seat is 7411blb.**1. I have a graco quattor tours travel system (model #7411blb), i attached the car seat to the stroller that came with the system. 2. When i eased the stroller down a ~4 inch curb the child car seat detached form the stroller base, breaking the only (red) clip that secures the child car seat to the stroller; it is also the clip that attaches the child car seat to the base that secures the vehicle car seat. My 2.5 year old daughter was holding onto the car seat carrying handle at the time. The car seat fell our of the stroller with my 6 month old son in it landing on my daughter.3. I have been unable to contact graco, their offices have either been closed or in training when i have called.

I was sent a safety recall notice re: my child's graco snugride safety seat in dec. Of 2007.i mailed the proper sheet back as asked, with the understanding i would receive a replacement pad in 6-8 weeks.i was told to contact this website if the situation hadn't been remedied within a reasonable amt. Of time and now 6 mos. Has passed, and i have yet to receive the replacement.

The contact owns a graco snugride child seat, model number 7e02dny3.the seat was manufactured on june 9, 2008.when turning the vehicle at various speeds, the infant safety seat would flip over to the opposite side while the infant was seated in the child seat.the contact took her seat to an inspection station and the technician stated that the seat was installed properly.the cause of the failure could not be identified.the child weighs 13 lbs and is 4 months old.the contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer.she still has possession of the seat.the purchase date and failure type were unknown.

Graco snugride carseat adjustable handle problem & warning stickers falling off:this is our second snugride carseat and from the beginning it has seemed plague. The warning stickers fell off within the first month of use.then most recently the handle jammed upon trying to remove the carseat (containing child) from it base and out of the car.the carseat was almost dropped.the handle is easily attached by two screws and upon remove and examination the plastic adjustment piece inside broke.once the broken piece was removed and handle was reattached it seemed to worked fine until the second side broke.upon contacting graco i was told that no replacement piece/handle was available--as it would be a safety issue to screw on a new handle.they were rude and i was told that no one else has had this problem.they offered no concern orremedyother than to go buy a new one. The accompanying stroller to this carseat has already been recalled,as have many of my other graco products.this is the first formal complaint i have made, but feel it is necessary as i am starting to lose faith in this company and also feel that it is important to file before a child is hurt.

Angle indicator on graco snug ride stuck and not working on a seat i was installing for a expecting mom.i am a cps tech.

I received the notice of the recall on november 11, 2007 and i ordered the replacement kit right away, to date, i have not received the replacement kit nor paymentfor a new carseat.

Harness lengths different, front adj on seat.unable to get both sides tight.snug ride model # 1755258.

I have a graco snugride infant carseat with base. Model #8f09jav3. On the back side of the carseat where the belts come through to the adjusters/tensioners, there is the extra lengths of seatbelt that is left dangling. These pieces get pinched between the carseat base and the red latch on the carseat itself that clicks into the base to hold it in. When this happens, the seat can be pulled up out of the base because the red latch will not latch into the base with the straps caught on it. I believe the other 2 latches at the opposite end of the seat are latching (i can hear them click), but this rear one is not! i have reason to believe this is a safety concern that the seat would not be held properly into the base in the even of an accident. I have video and photos showing this procedure and the effects. I have just noticed this happening but have used the carseat for the past 2 years and i believe this could have been happening the entire time.

I have twins, who both have the graco snugride infant car seat.the pad was recalled last year, on model #8646fie3, manufacturer's on 2/21/07.after contacting graco 3 times, i still do not have the replacement pads.this last phone call i was informed that the replacement pads are still on back order.my babies are 8 months old now, and still fit the requirements for these infant seats.they are now able to get a hold of pieces of the backing and pull it off.they have not put them in their mouths yet.these pads have only been washed once since purchasing.what are we supposed to do with recalled car seats??i can't afford to purchase new ones.

The base on this car seat not stay on the seat properly, when i went around a curve the car seat tipped over to one side. There were no injuries but it wouldnt be safe if i were in a accident.

As part of file work (automotive forensic consulting company), we recently conducted drop tests on an exemplar graco snugride infant child restraint with 3-point harness using two different dolls (five tests with each doll).the drop tests applied an acceleration pulse in a direction consistent with a frontal collision.with the harness tightened as per manufacturer's instructions, up to one inch of webbing slippage was noted through the metal 'harness tightener' (harness adjuster) at the rear of the child restraint.only one of the 10 tests did not experience webbing slippage.these tests were preliminary in nature.further testing was planned but the case settled.my concern is that the harness could loosen in a real-world crash, compromising the safety of the child.

Graco snugride lotus - the canopy that is used to shade baby from the sun is dangerous. My 8 month old kicked the canopy off of the plastic parts and had the plastic parts that you insert into the canopy in her mouth while i was driving on the freeway. This has happened more than once. I called to inform graco and they said not to use the canopy anymore. But their brochure states that babies can use this seat until they are 22 lbs. There should be a choking hazard warning or recall on this item.

As our child has grown and become more active, i've noticed that the straps of her car seat are often too loose to keep her securely fasten in her seat even though the straps were snug.we use our infant carrier almost every day so i know she is not changing in size that quickly. I have to tighten the straps every 2 to 3 times we place her in her seat.i checked the manual to make sure that the harness is correctly threaded.i did not have this problem when we used the same carrier with our older children.

When putting the child seat ( model#8446ldw) into the stroller the rear latch did not engage. As a result the child fell out of the child safety seat. No injuries reported. The cause has yet to be determined. Please provide additional information.

My 8 month old's graco infant seat (snugride) buckle is not included in the toddler seatbuckle recall, yet the pictures on graco's website show the buckle is the exact same as the recalled buckle. Buckle got stuck for the first time about 2 months ago. Buckle continued to work most of the time and would get stuck about once a week but my husband was able to press down hard enough to get it undone. Since last week the buckle has been getting stuck every day and more. Even my strong husband hasn't been able to get the release button on buckle to press down. I've had to resort to undoing the straps in the back of the seat and pulling them the through so that i could pull my child through the leg straps and out of the buckle and seat.then i have to reinsert & adjust the straps (hoping i'm doing it correctly and safely). I called customer service and when i was finally connected with a human i was told that no other complaints had been made with infant seat buckles. I find hard to believe that mine is the only infant seat buckle doing this. Graco said the reason why the buckles were getting stuck was because of trapped food in the buckle. This clearly can not be the only cause for the defect, because my 8 month old doesn't eat or drink in the seat. Graco saidthey would send me a new buckle if i wanted one but that it could be up to 4 weeks (a whole month!) until my replacement buckle arrives because the shipment of new buckles had not arrived yet. I asked for a new car seat and suggested that i send my seat and defected buckle back to graco for inspection so that the recall can be reassessed to include infant seats. She said no that they were not sending out new seats and that she would make a note of my complaint. After asking what i should do for the next month when buckle gets stuck she implied that i should continue undoing the straps in the back of the seat! this is humiliating to do in public! more importantly, in an emergency i won't have time to undo the straps!

My baby was fussy so my husband put him in his infant car seat and drove him around to help calm him late one night.he screamed more, so my husband came home.when i went to feed him after they got back, i noticed that my baby had torn up the backs of his ankles and was starting to scab over.when we looked for the source of the injury, my husband remembered the screaming and we checked out the car seat.there was blood on the seat padding and a fabric flap that covered a rough, plastic edge that curved upward toward where my baby's feet/legs rested.the fabric flap, even when covering the plastic, failed to protect my baby from that rough edge.injury could occur any time a parent puts their baby in this car seatif they do not know to put a blanket or other padding under their child's legs to protect them from the car seat.i notified the manufacturer and, as of yet, have received no response.

These incidents pertain to a 1997 mercury grand marquis. There was no accident.when making a right-hand turn, the infant safety seat (graco 8649mtr with metropolitan fabric) falls completely to the side/horizontally, and the infant falls forward.this causes the weight of the baby against the harness to injure and possibly cut off the infant's airway.because the seat belt locks, there is no way for the driver to return the car seat to its safe and upright position without finding a safe place to pull over, stop, and get out of the car.furthermore, a weaker or shorter armed driver has no way of manually holding the carseat in a upright position while looking for a place to pull over and fix the carseat, so the infant must lie there frightened and uncomfortable, if not in pain.obviously much worst could have happened, but i hope that this report will help prevent such occurrences.the carseat was installed exactly according to the instructions with the car as well as from the car seat manufacturer, and the installer was using the enclosed metal seatbelt attachment which supposedly should ensure a safe fit.thank you.

We were driving home from work with my child in the back seat in the car seat. This specific car seat cover did not wrap all the way around the seat, it only wrapped all the way around on the top and bottom, leaving the sides assembled to my child. The actual cover of the car seat had some sort of backing or stuffing on the inside and nothing covering it. My child pulled the side down and pulled some of the backing off and stuck it in the mouth. My child then continued to choke on it. Thank heavens my mother was driving because i was able to turn around and see what was going on. My child choked on the backing and finally vomited it out. My concern is if this could happen to me, how many other children is it happening to. What if i had been driving and no one else was in the car? what if i had the music on? therewere so manyquestions. I called graco, the manufacturer, and they were very polite. The replace my car seat with a new car seat and requested the old one. They said there was a team of people that would investigate into the matter and see how many other complaints have been made. Once again, my concern is how long will this take? what if i am the only one that has made a complaint? will it take a child's death before they will recall this?

I have the graco snugride 8643dh03 manufacture date 121606, but it is not listed in the next steps for model info.i will pick a similar model since mine is not listed.my baby can reach under the cover and remove the padding on the back of the cover.there is no liner on it and he has made two holes in the cover on each side of his legs.he has tried eating the "fuzz" he pulls out and i had to pull over while driving due to him choking on it.i now fold the cover under his legs, but he is still able to reach under the cover to pull out fuzz.i contacted graco today, but have not received a response yet.

I received a letter from graco a couple of weeks ago stating that the snugride car seat i have for my daughter was recalled because of the padding. Her's fell apart and i needed a new one so i thought it would be faster and easier to get online and order a new one through the website that they gave me. I went to the website and they didn't have any of the pads in stock. Therefore i don't have a pad on my daughter's car seat. I emailed the company and asked them what i should do and i haven't heard anything back. I really need a car seat cover.

I received an email from walmart.com regarding my snugride infant car seat, model number 8646fie3, with a manufacturer's date of 12/05/06 on november 20, 2007. After numerous telephone calls to the number provided, i received another email on 11/27/07 providing the correct phone number. I called seven times, but with only two options on the automated service, i hung up since neither pertained to me. In mid-december, i received a mail-in order from graco for a new pad replacement. I sent it in right away. It is now feburary and i have heard nothing. The pad on my baby's seat has been tearing since september 2007. I am very upset over this potential choking hazard that has failed to be taken care of. I have just been waiting for months, hoping that today is not the day that my baby will discover the filling tearing off.

Grago snugride infant car seat/carrier model # 8465bkw2 manufactured in 071005 purchased in 09/05. There is large plastic spike on the plastic portion of the seat that touches the infant's back. It is under a cover, so it was not noticed until an indentation was seen in the infant's skin.the infant is 4 months old now and over the past several months has cried hysterically every time he was put in the seat, especially when the restraint was tightened (this would have forced the spike into his back) to the point that we started to avoid car travel.i only noticedthe problem yesterday after transporting the infant to daycare for the first time.he was wearing a jacket that rode up and as i lifted him from the carrier exposing his back and a large red indent was visible on his lower back.a week ago i noticed a red mark on his back with a hole in the center that at the time i figured was a bug bite.the injuries to the child's back were probably not noticed earlier because he usually wears onesies that do not ride up when he is lifted up. Clearly the pain and suffering of riding in the seat was horrible for the infant who now fusses just looking at the seat and we must keep it from his view.i reported this issue to graco and was told i would be contact by a representative within 24 hours but i have not heard from them.

I am writing to advise you of a problem i recently had with a graco snugride infant car seat. I will let you know that i have already alerted the graco company as well as consumer reports. I purchased the car seat after the consumer reports came out stating this car seat was one of the best and safest car seats on the market. I agreed, and felt my daughter was in the safest car seat until about a week ago. I returned home from a quick trip to the grocery store and was going to take my daughter out of the car seat when i noticed her chewing on a white substance. I hadn't given her anything to chew on so i immediately began to extract it from her mouth. When i examined the substance i noticed it was a sort of material. Not knowing where it came from i started looking aroundthe car seat, and she had slipped her hand down the side of the material and pulled out the underlying 'fluff' again. I removed the fluff from her hand and then put my hand down where she had pulled it out of , and was flabbergasted at the gaping hole she had apparently been removing. The amount i extracted from her mouth was much less then what was missing and lead me to believe she had been doing this for sometime. I am and was extremely concerned as to how much she had ingested and god-forbid she had choked on this while i was driving.

The retracting clip on the graco snugride infant carrier/carseat that i use for my daughter broke.this caused the car seat release latch to not release the red plastic hook that holds the car seat to the base.the latch still released the metal clips that latch to the car seat base.

Graco snugride, model8646cjg child safety seat will not release from car seat base or stroller with only using the red handled release lever. Two hands and/or two people must release various components to extract the seat completely.

I am a cps technician, while checking the graco sung ride child safety seat, model # 8f30slg3, date of manufacture february 8, 2008, i noticed that the level indicator did not move.after shaking the safety seat the level indicator move a little but not very much.when i put the carrier into the base the level indicator indicated thechild safety seat was not at the proper angle for the child.i tried several other graco sung ride carriers in the base and all of the other carriers indicated that the angle was correct.i did have a similiar incident about three weeks ago with another graco sung ride child safety seat with the same model number, but i do not remember the date of manufacturer.
