SnugRide® Turn & Slide™ Product Update

 

Graco voluntarily recalled select SnugRide® Turn & Slide™ products sold in the United States from January 2026 through March 2026 after identifying an issue during post-production laboratory testing.

SnugRide Turn & Slide products available beginning in October 2026 reflect these updates and have been thoroughly tested to meet applicable federal safety standards and Graco’s own safety standards.

What is SnugRide Turn & Slide designed to do?

SnugRide Turn & Slide is designed to make everyday ins-and-outs easier for parents and caregivers.

The Graco® SnugRide® Turn & Slide Rotating Infant Car Seat is designed to make every ride more comfortable—for baby and for you. Turn. Slide. Smile. The ergonomic turn-and-slide feature* rotates the seat 180° toward you for more face-to-face moments and slides easily for smoother ins and outs, helping to reduce strain on your back—even in tight spaces.

The lightweight 9.7 lb carrier is easy to carry from car to stroller and beyond. The seat rotates without blocking the seat next to it—so you don’t lose valuable 2nd row space. SnugRide® performance helps protect rear-facing infants from 4–30 lb and up to 32", while SnugLock® technology provides a secure installation in under a minute. Additional features include the Simply Safe Adjust™ Harness System, PureProtect™ Fabrics, Silent Shade™ canopy, anti-rebound bar, and Graco® ProtectPlus Engineered™ protection.

Will my original SnugRide® Turn & Slide infant car seat shell that I kept as part of the recall, work with the new base? If not, why?

For your child’s safety, we do not recommend using the original recalled SnugRide® Turn & Slide infant car seat shell with the new base. The relaunched SnugRide® Turn & Slide was designed and evaluated as a complete seat and base system, and it should be used only with the components and instructions that come with the new product.

If you still have your original recalled product, please do not use it with a base.
