The all-new Graco SnugRide Turn & Slide Rotating Infant Car Seat is the first-ever rotating infant car seat from the trusted baby gear brand, designed to reduce everyday strain and reimagine travel without compromising safety. Daily life with a newborn requires caregivers to lift, bend, twist and reach to secure a baby in their car seat, sometimes multiple times a day, and often while dealing with siblings, bags and tight parking spaces.
This turn-and-slide infant car seat design is designed to move 180 degrees toward the caregiver and glide smoothly on a base, so a baby is brought closer to a caregiver, reducing reach, awkward angles, and strain. And unlike so many rotating infant car seats, Graco's SnugRide Turn & Slide is engineered to rotate without blocking the neighboring seat.
