We’ll also include some tips on how to make the connection as smooth as possible so that your baby is always snugly secured. So whether you’re looking to add another seat to your family or just need some help getting around town, read on for our detailed guide on connecting your Graco car seat to a double stroller.
What You’ll Need
What You’ll Need:
-A Graco car seat
-A double stroller
-An extra set of wheels or a jogging frame for the stroller
-An adapter kit (available at most baby retailers)
-Tape measure
-Cordless drill
-1 inch hole saw or sharp knife
-Permanent marker
-Ruler or straight edge
-Narrow tape measure
-Screwdriver
There are a few different adapters that you can use to connect your Graco car seat to a double stroller. I recommend getting an adapter kit, as they are generally easier to use and more affordable than purchasing each piece separately. The adapter kit that I used has two pieces: one that fits over the car seat’s base and one that attaches to the stroller’s handlebar. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
Step 1: Measure the distance between the base of your car seat and the wheel well on your double stroller. This will be the length of your adapter. Note: The wheel well on most double strollers is about 18 inches from the ground. If you have a jogging frame, you can subtract 2 inches from this measurement so that the adapter will fit over it nicely.
Step 2: Measure the width of your attachment piece, which will be about twice as wide as your measurement from step 1. For my adapter, this measurement was 12
How to Connect Your Graco Car Seat to Your Double Stroller
If you’re using a Graco car seat in a double stroller, be sure to connect the straps first. Then, follow these steps to attach the car seat to the stroller:
1. Open the car seat’s buckles and remove the base.
2. Place the base of the car seat on top of one of the stroller’s Wheels.
3. Fit both straps around one of the Wheel’s spokes and pull tight.
4. Snap the buckle on the strap into place and repeat with the other strap. Make sure that both straps are tight against the Wheel spokes.
Tips for Safe Use of Your Graco Car Seat and Double Stroller
There are a few things to keep in mind when using your Graco car seat and double stroller. First, make sure that the harness is tight enough so that your child won’t be able to move around while in the seat or stroller. Second, make sure that the car seat and stroller are both properly assembled before using them. Third, keep an eye on your child while they’re in the car seat or stroller to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Finally, be careful not to hit any obstacles while using the car seat or stroller, as this could cause it to collapse or tip over.
