Graco Snugride 30 and 40 Car Seats
The Graco Snugride 30 and 40 car seats are some of the most popular car seats on the market. These seats have a unique design that makes them perfect for use in a base.

To install a Graco car seat in a base, follow these steps:
1. Locate the base bracket on the vehicle. The snugride 30 should fit in the base bracket near the rearward facing child restraint anchorage point and the snugride 40 should fit in the base bracket near the forward facing child restraint anchorage point.
2. Align and insert both connectors into their corresponding mounting holes on either side of the vehicle. The connectors will lock into place when inserted properly.

Route the safety belt through both connector loops and buckle into place across your child’s body, making sure it is tight enough to prevent them from being able to move around in their seat during an accident but not so tight that it causes pain or discomfort. You may also choose to secure safety straps if your child weighs over 50 pounds or if they are taller than 42 inches tall at the shoulder (but not much thicker).
