In order meet new federal crash test requirements,
all infant car seats must now be certified for us up to 22 pounds and 29″. Graco
has updated their Snug Ride car seat to meet the new standard. A reader asked
what the difference was between the old and new models (since they share the
same name), besides the weight/height certification. Here is the
scoop:

The Snug Ride SEAT itself did
change (holds 22 pounds now instead of 20 & now holds 29″ instead of 26″).
The seat is longer & the handle & canopy had to change to accommodate
the new seat length.

The Snug Ride bases
are the same—there is no change in the base.

The new standard started on 8/1/05 &
applies to any product manufactured after that date. Any seat that is still in
store or in inventory at a store can still be sold.

That’s the scoop!
