ATLANTA, May 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Click! That's
the sound of a secure car seat installation. A recent study by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that 49
percent of infant car seats were incorrectly installed.* The new
Graco SnugRide® SnugLock™ Infant Car
Seats have been designed to help reduce this statistic with
a hassle-free installation process using either a vehicle seat belt
or LATCH. In three simple steps, parents will hear that "click" and
feel confident their car seat has been securely installed.

Simply attach to your vehicle using seat belt buckle or LATCH,
tighten so there is no slack, and lock down the SnugLock™ arm. When
locking down the SnugLock arm, parents will hear the "click" and
feel confident their car seat has been securely installed.
Adding to the installation ease is a 4-position, spring loaded,
adjustable recline base, an easy-to-read level indicator, and
LATCH.
This new addition to Graco's award-winning car seat line also
includes features to help keep little ones comfortable and
protected. The removable head and body support helps provide proper
fit for smaller infants. The car seat is also equipped with a
Silent Shade™ canopy that easily adjusts to keep the sun out of
baby's eyes during car rides and strolls. As an added benefit, this
shade is made of smooth fabric, ensuring that baby won't be
disturbed when the shade is being adjusted.
"Moms and dads have a lot to worry about and the safety and
comfort of their child in the backseat should not be one of them,"
said Erin Varano, Brand Marketing
Director, Graco. "The SnugRide SnugLock Infant Car Seats and Bases
help eliminate the guesswork often associated with car seat
installation and provides parents peace of mind that their baby is
secure when they take to the road."

- Grows with and helps protect rear-facing infants from 4 to 35
lbs. and up to 32"

"In the past, I have memories of putting my full weight into our
car seat and yanking the straps as hard as possible just to try to
get the base to be secure enough. This time around, the new Graco
SnugRide SnugLock 35 DLX Infant Car Seat is making it much simpler!
This car seat has been specifically designed to eliminate any
guesswork that comes with installing a car seat," said Mandy Roberson, mom of a toddler and one on the
way, and founder of MommaSociety.com. "The car seat also has other
features that I love, like the fact that the handle can be adjusted
with one hand, which will make it easy to get baby in and out of
the seat while also juggling a toddler."
