This nifty little gadget allows you to attach your Graco car seat to almost any type of vehicle using a simple clip. For parents who find themselves on the go often, this is a lifesaver.

So if you’re ever in a situation where you can’t install your car seat or just want to be extra safe, check out the Graco Safe & Sound car seat adapter!
How to Attach a Graco Car Seat
Step One: Locate the anchors in your car. Graco makes four types of anchors-two for the base and two for the straps.
Step Two: Unbuckle your child’s safety seat.
Note: Do not use the anchors if your car has a head restraint.
If you’re using the anchors in the base, remove them by pressing down on each one then pulling them outwards. If you’re using the anchors in the straps, first unlatch them from both sides of the seat then slide them towards you until they click into place.
Step Three: Position your child in their safety seat and buckle them in. Make sure their head is positioned correctly and adjust their harness as needed. Finally, reattach the anchors to either side of the car seat.
How to Remove a Graco Car Seat
If you are looking to remove your Graco car seat, there are a few different ways to go about it. You can take the entire car seat off, or detach the base from the car.
To take the entire car seat off:
1. Open the latch on the back of the car seat and pull it out of the vehicle.
2. Unbuckle and unbuckle all the straps.
3. Remove the fabric cover and padding.
4. Pull down on each side of the frame to release it from the vehicle’s clips.
5. Allow the frame to fall away from the car seat base and set it aside.
6. Grab hold of one side of each chair leg and pull them out of the base, removing it from your vehicle as well.
7. Reverse these steps to install in a new vehicle or if you’re reusing your old car seat (something we highly recommend!).
To detach the base from your vehicle:
1. Open either hinge on top of base using a flathead screwdriver or by pulling outward on each side until they separate- be careful not to lose any screws!
2 Place child safely in car seat and secure with straps- make sure that their head is supported with a cushion or helmet if necessary!
3 Push down on both ends of hinge until they spring open- now you can lift up on one end of hinge and pull off base! Be sure
