In search of car seats: Graco Infant SafeSeat™ (Step 1) 8A00PSN
Written by jlz on February 18, 2006 – 4:21 pm -As anZel gets closer to come out, we are back in the search for car seats again. Today we revisited Babies R Us in Union City. The lady over there was very helpful. She explained quite a few things to us including
- Today all children are, by law, required to sit in some type of car seat or booster seat until they are six years old and 60 lbs. They are planning on changing the law sometime soon to require children to stay in a booster seat until 8 years old and 80 lbs.
- The Graco Mosaic is going to be discontinued. The Mosaic LX we saw before are still in the market.
- All Graco infant seats will snap onto the Peg-Perego Aria that we saw a while back.
We saw a new car seat today, the Graco Infant SafeSeat™ (Step 1) 8A00PSN.
It’s $129.99, weighs about 15 lbs and the baby can stay in there, rear facing, until 30 lbs.
We are now considering buying this car seat and then use it with the SnugRider Infant Carseat Frame that we already have.

FYI - according to a graco customer service rep, the new Infant SafeSeats Step 1 will only fit in SnugRider Infant Carseat Frames that were manufactured after January 2006. May not fit in the one you already have …

I have the SnugRide and used it with the Kolcraft Universal Car Seat Carrier. Britax (what you ended up choosing) is shown to be the safest, with the Snugride a close second.
Q: Do you know if the Peg Perego Aria double also takes in all Graco car seats?

Hi Leah,
The Aria is supposed to take all Graco car seats as well. We actually tried that out at Babies R Us and it worked really well. Snaps right in…
I don’t know about the Double though. Next time I am there I’ll be sure to check it out.
