Graco has a wide variety of car seats, and even more different headrest adjustments. Which one is right for your Graco car seat? The Graco SnugRide 30/L/G is a convertible car seat that can be used for infants as young as 15 pounds up to 65 pounds. It comes with two headrests (adjustable in both directions), so you can find the perfect fit for your child. To adjust the headrest, first remove the inside memory foam insert. Then, use the Allen key provided to adjust both the height and angle of each headrest. Be sure to secure each headrest in place by inserting the Allen key into each adjustment hole. Finally, replace the inside memory foam insert and you’re ready to go!
What is a headrest?
A headrest is a padded, adjustable device that fits at the back of a baby’s seat to help support their head and neck during car travel. They come in various sizes and shapes to suit different car seats, and some may have extra features like side wings or a mobile device holder. Some parents find them helpful for keeping their babies’ heads safe in the event of a collision, while others find them unnecessary and uncomfortable. It’s up to each parent to decide what kind of headrest is best for their child.
How to adjust headrest on Graco car seat
If your Graco car seat doesn’t seem to be sitting as high as you would like it to, adjusting the headrest may help. Follow these simple steps:
1. Locate the adjuster on the headrest and pull it downward until the desired height is achieved.
2. Reattach the adjuster by pressing it into place against the headrest base.
Tips for adjusting headrest on Graco car seat
When installing a Graco car seat, be sure to adjust the headrest according to the vehicle’s height and weight limits. The headrest should be at least 2 inches below the driver or front passenger’s ears and 3 inches above the center of the child’s forehead. If your car doesn’t have a height-adjustable seat belt, use the Latch system to secure the headrest in place.
