Buying the right car seat for your child is extremely important and we know it can be a little overwhelming sometimes.
Target is trying to make the decision a little easier by providing car seat shopping tools in their stores. In the Target car seat department, you will see an actual measuring stick so parents can measure the height of their child right there in the store.
They also have signage that explains the stages of car seats and which types of car seats are appropriate for each child’s height, weight, and age. The stages are further explained through overhead signage, color coding on the product fact tags that are in front of the products and some stores even have the color coding on the floor!
Target also introduced mobile technology to the in store environment. By texting “car seat” you will be able to access Target’s online car seat selector. Check this out at your local Target to have an easier time selecting the right car seat for your child.

love that the backless turbo boosters now come with the armrests (and more importantly, screws), installed. love!
I just wish their info was up to date with the seats they carry
great for saying that boosters are for school age children but at least have the numbers line up!?!?!?!?!
I love Graco baby products! I have the Graco Snugride and the Snugrider stroller, I love both of them.
Hi,
I have been researching about Graco carseats and travel systems. I have one complaint about the car seats website. There is no ‘Comparison’ tool that allows customers to compare different products in the same category. If I need to compare a Graco Spree travel system with Graco Stylus travel system, there’s no way I can do it. Its frustating when one tries to understand the difference between different products within the same category. I hope you can give this feedback to the product teams.
Thanks,
Hello,
I’ve been happily using Graco car seats for my petite-sized 47-mo daughter (on ComfortSport) and average-sized 8-mo son (on Snugride, not 35 or 32). My son is getting ready to receive my daughter’s ComfortSport, and my daughter is getting ready for the next seat. I consider myself an informed consumer, but currently I’m still struggling to make the next car-seat choice, despite extensive internet researching, etc.
Among the Graco line of car-seat products, what is the “general path” of progression (with or without your product-line development in mind)? I can think of the following progressions…
[A] #1 Snugride, #2 Nautilus
[B] #1 Snugride, #2 ComfortSport, #3 Nautilus
[C] #1 Snugride, #2 ComfortSport, #3 Highback TurboBooster
Among above, of course [B] is the most ideal (covering all overlapping rang, but also the most costly (especially with x2 cars). I wouldn’t go [A], as Nautilus isn’t “4-in-1 with rear-facing option first” (hint-hint). Technically I’m considering [C], but practically I’m just not comfortable with my daughter (only at the very min height/weight range of 30lbs/38″) in Highback TurboBooster.
So, wanting to keep my daughter in 5-point harness longer, I know my answer is [B] in the end. But I’m also curious as to whether or not [B] (vs [C]) is indeed the intended “general path” in Graco product line.
Thanks for reading (& your feedback, in advance).
Hi Jak – We actually do have a comparison tool on http://www.gracobaby.com that will allow you to compare the products you are looking at. You can get to it from the product-specific pages. Here’s a comparison of the Spree and Stylus travel systems: http://www.gracobaby.com/ShoppingTools/Pages/ProductComparision.aspx?CatId=TravelSystems&QS=1755703!1755700. I hope this helps you and let us know if you need any help using the tool! – Kelly
Thanks, Lauren – glad you like them
Hiroshi, replace “Comfort Sport” with “MyRide 65″ to rear-face as long as possible, and you’ve got a winner in B.
