This is why I only use Chicco Keyfit infant seats.

The snugg ride now goes up to 35 once your child is to big to carry it's great to just leave them in it just don't take the seat out anymore just as long as the child still meets the weight and height limits

i do wish they made bigger seats like a rear facing to 50 pounds and forward facing to at least 80 a 5 point harness that is. i

graco does not have that many high weight seats the nautilus is great the myride is awesome. the infant carriers have improved significantly. there are now some that go up to 35 pounds. i am very pleased. most children will outgrow the carriers by height before weight so a converteble seat is nessesary for most.

@d103cc

graco safe seats rear face and are rated to 30 pounds and the snugride 32 goes up to 32 pounds rear facing...also there are SEVERAL "Decent" seats that have higher weight limits for forward facing.

I agree with GraciesMama9685. This car seat was not installed properly. I can't believe the NHTSA would release a video when the car seat was obviously installed incorrectly.

the seat belt wasn't tightened enough if it was that wouldn't happen

actually the infant seat dont rear face past 22 ponds the convertable are good but most only forward face to 40. nautilus and myride are thier only decent seats. they forward face to 65 but a child needs to be harnessed to 53 inches and or 80 pounds

@d103cc Have you taken a stroll through walmart or babies r us lately?! All Graco infant seats RF to 22, 30, or 32lbs. And all their convertibles RF to 30 or 35lbs.

this is why i use the vehicle seat belt to put mine instead of the latch belt. they give out to easily which can be seen if you watch closely the end of the strap gets shorter and the seat twists,. This is why i use the vehicle seat belt. This slack can be seen in normal use you have to retighten the seat down every few days as it naturally comes loose. I have switched to the vehicle belt I do not have to tighten the belt every few uses as with the latch belt.
