Product Overview
The SnugRide SnugLock 35 Elite is a rear-facing infant seat built for babies from 4 to 35 pounds and up to 32 inches in height. It’s designed to give your newborn both comfort and top-level safety during every ride.
The base installs quickly using either your vehicle’s seat belt or LATCH system. It also features an anti-rebound bar, a quiet canopy, and plush infant inserts for added support and protection.
Quick Tips from Parents

- Make sure your baby’s head is at least 1 inch below the top of the seat shell
- Tighten the harness until you can’t pinch any strap slack at the shoulders
- Install using either LATCH or seat belt not both
- Remove inserts as your baby grows to keep them comfy
- Wash the seat cover in cold water on a gentle cycle always air dry
