View Full Version : I need strap covers for my Safeseat 1

The straps have left marks on my daycare babies neck a few times now. It has gotten to the point where I pull up her shirt as much as I can and it is fine, but when it slides down it is leaving marks on her neck that are staying. My daycare mom isn't too happy...seeing she thinks straps falling off her are safer, cuz they aren't hurtng her. So, I have come to the point of loosening it a bit(more than I feel safe with) this past friday because I worry about the marks. Did the safeseat Legacy come with strap covers? If I leave the infant head rest in, it seems to be fine and leave no marks, but the baby hates them... It takes me alot just to get her in her seat and tighten the straps(Because mom leaves them so loose where the baby can sit perfectly straight up in it). I have tried her in the scenera RF and she hates it as well. But, I did notice when it is a lil' looser she is happier. So, how can I make her happier? I know aftermarket products are a no-no, but......

Someone help.

I would try socks with the feet cut out before strap covers, they are thinner and less likely to be a problem in a crash.

I used the comfort pads off my Britax seats...personal decision, but I don't see where it would make a difference between those (which are obviously crashtested on Britax seats) and the ones that come on the upper-end SS1's. :twocents:

There are several Graco strap covers available on Ebay, just do a search...

I just wish I could find the black ones...I have emailed Graco, but havent heard back yet.

The Graco website says that BRU carries them, but I have yet to find them. I emailed Graco and havent heard back...I get the feeling they arent making them anymore.
