Graco Snugride Platinum - adjusts at front or back? Can anyone tell me if the Graco Snugride Platinum harness straps adjust at the front of the car seat?

Sorry to be so late to the discussion, but I own this carseat and I just want to be clear what you mean to by "adjust". If you are referring to pulling the straps tighter once the child is placed in the seat, then yes, the adjustment is made from the front of the seat. There is a strap located inbetween your child's thighs that you pull to tighten the straps, to loosen there is a little metal button hidden there that you push to release. If you are referring to raising the straps to a higher position for when the child is taller, than you must re-thread the straps through the back into the higher slots manually. I hope this makes sense!

The harness straps go to the bottom of the side impact protectors just above the head cushion. The head cushion and the body cushion move up with the straps as your child grows. This is my first Radian so I can't compare it to the 100.

The safety strap is attached to the body of the booster seat and comes up behind the cushion. The cushion fits snugly and won't pop out of place if your dog stands up. The whole booster fits very snugly using your car's seat belt. I think it's a great car seat for my dog.

The straps are my biggest complaint. They can get tangled because of the padding surrounding them. It does sit a little higher then our graco which works well because of my small car however it doesn't look uncomfortable for wee one. I still prefer this seat over the Graco.

Hi Camila, I was very disappointed to find out that "it doesn't" the way the prior models do, which as you may know, you just pull the handle between the child's fit and adjust, that easy... this model has 3 different positions but you can only change it by removing the carseat from the seat, adjusting the new position pulling a lever from the bottom back of the carseat and then installing it again, witch is very disappointing to me, I have 4 children (always have bought Maxi-Cosi) and that was the main thing I loved about this car seats.. the child is asleep, pull and change position, the child woke up, pull and seat him/her up again, sadly doesn't work like that with this one.

Hello BethAnn. Not sure if this will attach correctly if you dont have a separate headrest. Reason is, I clip the upper strap around and under the headrest and it attaches easily but securely like that. What makes the upper strap secure is the fact the part of the seatback near the headrest serves as a stop so the strap doesnt rise up and slide off... If your car has a good seam or indent at that spot, it may work. Otherwise, it may slip off which would make the carrier unstable and fall forward..If your pup is not big or heavy and it doesnt pull on that upper strap, it may keep it in place if you pull it tight and down toward the back of the seat more. My Doggie is just about 7 lbs. Perhaps you may retrofit this by somehow locking in the upper with the lower strap to secure it from sliding up and off ...When I have my pup in it I have to say it is a wonderful safe ride. I dont use a collar but a doggie harness and it clips right to the seat. Doggie can not jump or fall out. The only thing with using it is when someone wants to ride in the front with me, I have to remove the seat. Never tried the back seat. You might have more luck that way...and it might be a tighter fit. I think I would try it if the return policy (should it not work) is fair and inexpensive...I love mine. Good Luck!

There is a latch at the top of the seat that you pinch and pull up. Super easy and so much nicer than on my graco where you have to rethread it. Go on the Britax website and you can watch the video! So easy to install and adjust. We bought two for my 10 month old twins. They took a couple minutes to install. Awesome!

Very good suggestion....One thing people tend to overlook is the stability of the bases/carseat systems...use YOUR body weight in the car seat to secure it tightly when installing but still make sure it is adjusted to the correct angle by manufacturer's recommendations (I learned this as part of being a car-seat installer when our police department participated in Safe-Kids carseat checks)...I have the Graco SnugRide32 for our little girl and having a base in my car and another in my husband's truck makes life very simple...

It has a button you press on the front and it loosens or tightens the straps. Super easy! I love this car seat!

We bought the Graco SnugRide Classic Connect 30 Car Seat, Dragonfly and it worked great with the stroller. We actually bought the car seat specifically because we wanted this stroller. Good luck. I hope this helped.

The front of the harness is adjustable in two ways, one with the Velcro on each side and with adjustable straps. I have a 13 pound Vizsla puppy who wears it well.

You can use either ring - the front or back on the harness. I didn't have any issues with it becoming too loose. Just make sure the harness is fit properly and it should work.

Britax marathon 70 I cannot adjust the STRAPS (make looser) on the baby seat. we are no longer able to connect the straps to the red "buckleet" in the center. I have found the latch at the top of the seat--but it only slides the seat up and down. PLEASE HELP!

Sorry to hear that. I haven't had that issue with mine. The way I set the chest strap on my GS, is loose enough that you can run 1 but no more than 2 fingers under it, there will be some slack, however, I don't think is that significant; the other 2 abdomen straps w/buckle, loose enough so you can run 1 finger under them. I hope this helps.

There are two circles joined by two short straps on opposite sides of the circles. On one of the short, strait straps there is a ring where the leash attaches. The ring is the top, rear of the harness, which goes around the body of the pet. The other ring goes around the neck. Both circles have to be adjusted for the girth and neck. It is best to adjust both sides equally, as growth adjustment is then easier. Enjoy!

On the Safety 1st website it states:We've included a safety strap to safely secure the following infant car seats in the rear position:Graco® SnugRide®, SnugRide® 32, and SnugRide® 35Chicco® KeyFit™ 30Evenflo® Serenade™ and Embrace™ 35Britax ChaperonePeg Perego® Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30So these don't "Click" in but you rest them on the bar in the back and secure them with a strap.

I am wondering the exact same question... here is a discussion forum where someone does say that the platinum has front adjust. But I'm trying to find out FOR SURE before we buy. http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/50339130.aspx
