I want to make our older Snugride car seat more comfortable for our 1-month newborn. After seeing these for sale on ebay I’m wondering if you can just insert them into any Snugride car seat.
Although ours is equipped with the standard head foam, I don’t think it ever came with the full sized one that covers the whole seat.
Have you had this seat inspected? After 4 years, it is possible that your car seat no longer meets current safety standards. The plastics also break down over time…most seats have an "expiration date" on them. Take the seat to the fire department and have it inspected. Also check the manual for other information. If it still meets with inspectors approval, just call the company and ask them which models of inserts will fit it.

You can not add anything to a carseat that did not come in the box or directly from the manufacturer for your model of carseat. You need to call Graco for a definitive answer.

Please do not buy this product to put into your carseat. It is not recommended that you add anything to your carseat that didn’t originally come with it, since it wasn’t crash tested with the product. Adding padding may increase your child’s risk of getting hurt in an accident. A large majority of parents do not use car seats properly. (I think it may be around 90%!!!) You may want to go to carseat.org for more information or speak to your pediatrcian. GOOD LUCK in finding a comfortable alternative.
