Check the misuse - on Graco's own website!

Morons.

They do want me to replace the TB though. My mother swears its only because they want more of my money. Well, if so, jokes on them, because I'm buying a Compass!

ETA: I couldn't let the belly clips go. They're all belly clips, except the choke clip, that is. Oyyyy. They should be ashamed.

I'm sure they would just say "but but...they aren't in cars!"

I sent them an email about it.

FTR, I don't believe I will ever buy another Graco product.

Graco sucks.

While Starlight was noticing the chestclips, I was noticing the water surrounding these babies and parents....

I hope that water was "added in" after the picture was taken. There is NO WAY I would ever bring my kids that close to water especially being restrained in a sinking carseat and stroller.

Oh, and about the chestclips, what are they thinking????????

sad. very sad.

Especially considering there is a PICTURE on the chest clip of where it's supposed to go! apparently even that isn't enough.

It's the Graco version of the SnG that they are all sitting on.

I really like the 3rd one from the left...those MONSTEROUS aftermarket, non-Graco, non-crash tested shoulder strap things are great too. :thumbsup: (NOT!)

After bringing my laptop close to my face I noticed that the strollers handle bars are facing US, and the parents are all holding onto the carrier's handle's. That must be their snap n go.

Eeek about the chest clips.

It is their "Snap n Go," which is called the Snugrider.

Fifth kid from the left doesn't even have a belly clip...must be the ultra safe "toe clip" I've heard so much about.

Maybe the parents were instructed not to "snap" the seat on and to hang onto the handle of the carseat in case they went in the water.

The last one on the right looks like he/she *might* be restrained properly... maybe...

From the FAQ:
"Question: How can I tell if my car seat is installed tightly enough?

Answer: For a rear facing seat, grip the top edge and try to push it downward. The back of the safety seat should stay firmly in place at the same angle. It is normal if the seat can be flipped toward the rear of the car. For a forward facing seat with a harness, grip the top edge of the seat and try to tilt it forward and sideways. If it moves more than 1 inch toward the front of the car or tips to the side, re-adjust using the locking clip or try another seating position."

Check the installation of Graco seats by pulling on the top of the seats?!

No matter how tiny the child is... there is no excuse for the chest clip touching the crotch strap, and I swear, in that last one, it really looks like it is.

Graco sucks. I hope they're listening.

Oh my! *deep sigh* I cannot believe they would post a picture with so much misuse especially if they want people to use their seat safely. I hope the e-mails get through and they rethink this campaign.
