Does a base need to purchased for this car seat or it can be installed as is?

The base is part of the unit. It is not like the baby car seat with a separate base. Very nice and installs quickly and securely.

The car seat comes attached to a base already so no you do not need to purchase a base. It's a great car seat and excellent quality!

Forgot to mention. .The car seat and base are all one piece and you cannot detach one from the other .

It is installed as is. This isn't "removable" like the infant carriers. This seat is probably best for a larger child, we moved our children to this type seat around 1 year old.

We use it directly in the car with no base. It has straps that secure it in the car. They snap onto the car seat anchor points that are provided in our car's back seat. Not sure how it would work if your car doesn't have anchor points--maybe you'd use the seatbelt?

Only the base as shown, you have to provide car seat. This has been a lifesaver since the jogging stroller is so heavy and bulky.

No, a base is not required. It is a one piece unit. However, it is designed for larger babies. I would recommend something smaller for infants that does come with a base. This unit is much easier to use for smaller babies and you can buy additional bases for other cars (without buying more entire seat units). see: Graco Snugride Classic Connect Infant Car Seat, Surrey

It's a convertible carseat, and therefore does not have/need a base. Only infant seats have bases and a separate carseat/carrier that you can remove from the car.

I don't honestly know, but the base is for a Classic Connect seat and my car seat was not a Classic product.

I honestly can't remember but I think one base came with and then we purchased an additional base for my husbands car. Be sure to note that the carseat is very small and we had to buy another before our daughter was 6-9 months. It is perfect for an infant but not a growing baby in my opinion. Good luck!!

Yes it includes one car base. It is definitely a good car seat and has served us well. Mine has outgrown it though.

One comes in with the car seat, if you are going to have the baby in numerous vehicles. Buy a base for every car. Once you take it out of the box. It is Very simple to install.

It comes with seat and 4 screws. You will need to purchase a base separately.

This car seat is one piece. There is no separate base. So, unlike the infant seat which you can move from car to car as long as you have additional bases, you would have to move this car seat each time you switch cars...which can be tedious depending on how you strap it into your car. It was impractical for us to do this so we had to purchase two (a pavilion and a marathon), one for each car.

I have not had a need to try to remove the base from the seat. It is not an infant carrying seat. If you were thinking of just having two bases in two different vehicles and remove the seat on regular basis it would be easier to just remove the entire thing. Plus I believe the anchors are on the actual seat not just on the base. I would look into buying two instead of trying to regularly remove and reinstall.

We had the Graco Snugride32 and yes, it came with a base. We bought an extra one also so that we could switch between cars. The additional one was about $50, but well worth the expense for the ease it afforded.

Just need the base. Buy 1 car seat with a base and then additional bases for additional vehicles.

I have become a pro at switching my children's car seats from different vehicles. I have two convertable car seats & an infant carrier car seat with two bases. it's definitely easier to install the base for the infant seat but I really like & feel my kids are safe n the convertable seats & the convertable seats really arnt very much more work at all to install.

The car seat should come with one base that you will use all the time. If you have an addition vehicle (maybe spuouses car) you can purchase an additional base so you don't have to continue to move one back and forth.

This car seat is a convertible and does not leave the car once installed, like an infant car seat does. There is no seperayte base, the car seat is all one unit.
