It’s not always easy to find a place to change your baby when you’re out and about. If you have a Graco stroller, it can be even harder! You may think that the seat reclines far enough for your child, but how do you know? This blog post will show how to recline a Graco stroller seat so that it is at an angle more suitable for napping or feeding.
How to put Car Seat in Stroller Baby Trend
It’s always a good idea to make sure that your baby is sitting as comfortably as possible when they are in their stroller. The more comfortable, the better!
Car seats can be used with many different types of strollers and come with adaptors for this purpose. To use a car seat on your Graco Stroller, you will need to use the Graco Car Seat Adapter, and it’s a good idea to find out how.
You can put your car seat in your stroller by following these steps:
Locate the adapter on one side of your car seat. It attaches with an arm that swings up when you pull down the release lever.
Find the adapter on your Graco Stroller, and attach it with the lever. Lift the car seat so that you can remove the base from beneath it. Be careful not to tip over as you do this!
Line up how connectors are facing each other and press together until there is a snap. Turn the car seat cover, and put it in your stroller. Make sure that you secure the harness around your child to protect them from any falls or injuries while they are riding!
Steps on Reclining a Graco Stroller Seat
Place the Graco Stroller on a flat surface, and remove any items that may be in the way of reclining. Open up the stroller to its full length.
Locate two buttons at either side near the bottom of one or both handles (depending on how old your model is). You’ll find one on the left for reclining and one on the right to return it.
Press down with your thumbs on each button, then simultaneously release them. The seat should now be how you want it!
Return the stroller to its closed position if needed by pressing both buttons again in order of how they were pressed before. Put the stroller back into its original position to store it.

Open the rear door of your vehicle and place it in such a way that you can comfortably reach the child safety locks on either side of the car seat.
The top strap should run under both arms, over one shoulder, back under both arms again before going over the other shoulder. The bottom strap should run between the baby’s legs and up to meet with the top on his back.
Pull tight at both ends of the seatbelt so that baby is tightly secured in place if you need assistance, ask someone to help tighten it for you or call a professional installer!

Run the lower buckle strap under your baby’s bottom and then up to meet with the top on his back. Locate the upper part of this same seatbelt in front, between the baby’s legs and pull tight at both ends so he is tightly secured within it.
The top harness should be fitted across his chest while still being loose enough for him to breathe freely. If not, tighten until appropriately comfortable.
What is Graco Stroller Seat?
A Graco Stroller Seat is a type of strolling seat that can be installed onto most major models. The way the seats recline depends on how old the model is, but generally speaking, they will either have two buttons near the bottom or one button at each side just under where it connects to the handlebars.

To recline your baby’s seat you’ll want to gently squeeze both levers near its base while pressing down towards the floor until it is fully reclined.
Car Seat Safety Tips for Infants and Toddlers
Safety belts should be snug (not too tight!) across the chest, not under the arm or behind their back. The harness straps must fit securely around your child’s shoulders with no slack in them to pinch skin; otherwise, they could slip out of the buckle if you have an accident!
Harnesses should also never hang over a baby’s neck because this can lead to strangulation from fabric coming up against his chin or face. Buckles are designed so that even slippery fingers will find purchase on how they work.
To adjust how close your car seat is to your vehicle seat, use both hands at once–push down hard enough on any side to unlock the other side and then move it forward or back how you want.
