I have a Safeseat in Ionic, and ever since I got it home on the first day I have been bothered by the complete lack of padding under the bum and the hard plastic jabby parts down there. I wanted to get the gracopedic foam pad but couldn't figure out how. I didn't realize there were different foam options when I bought it or I would have bought the more padded one (minimal descriptions on the website I bought it from).
That was over a year ago, and now that we're thinking of the next baby, I want the darn padding issue solved! I found on the graco heart to heart blog that they are now selling replacement covers and padding, and I hope to get replacement padding or a replacement cover+padding for mine, whichever is allowed by Graco. But I can't figure out which part to ask for, so I need a hand!
For those of you who have a Safeseat with the extra padding under the bum, is it attached to the cover, or is it part of the foam pad that lays under the seat? I ask because they are sold separetely. If I have to buy a whole other cover to get one with padding under the bum, I will, but I don't want to order one and have it come only to find out that the padding is not in the cover and I need a different foam pad. On the replacement parts order site the descriptions are minimal and I can't figure out whether the foam pad they sell is just the one that goes under the back (on my safeseat model the foam pad extends from an inch or so below the top of the shell down almost to the crease, but does not extend under the bum) or if the extra padding models are one continuous piece of foam padding.
If anyone can help me figure this out, I would really appreciate it! I would prefer to know what I want ahead of time rather than entering a back-and-forth with Graco about it, especially since there were hundreds of replacement cover requests on the customer service heart to heart blog, and I don't want to just get lost in the shuffle. I would prefer to just order it online if I can, or at least to know what I'm asking for when I contact customer service. I would appreciate any assistance with this!
