Step 1: Locate the Release Lever
To remove the Graco SnugRide car seat from its base, start by locating the release lever. The release lever is usually located at the back of the base, near the baby’s feet when seated in the car seat. It is typically a large, easily identifiable lever that can be operated with one hand.

After engaging the release lever, lift the car seat straight up to detach it from the base. Ensure that you have a firm grip on the car seat and lift it smoothly to avoid any sudden movements that could potentially harm the baby or strain your back.
Step 4: Check for Secure Detachment
Once the car seat is lifted, check to ensure that it is securely detached from the base. Gently shake the car seat to confirm that it is no longer connected to the base. If you feel any resistance or notice that the car seat is still attached, repeat steps 2 and 3 to properly disengage it.
Step 5: Store the Car Seat Safely
After removing the car seat from the base, it is essential to store it safely. If you are transferring the car seat to another vehicle, secure it properly using the seat belt or the compatible attachment system. If you are temporarily removing the car seat for cleaning or other purposes, place it in a secure location away from any potential hazards.
