Graco Recalls Car Seats Sold at Target and Walmart

Graco is voluntarily recalling select SnugRide Turn & Slide infant car seats after identifying a structural issue with the base during post-production testing. The recall affects units sold between January and March 2026 at major retailers including TGT, WMT, Amazon, Babylist, and GracoBaby.com. No other Graco rotating car seat models, including the EasyTurn and Turn2Me, are part of the recall.

Parents are advised to stop using the affected seat with its base immediately and to submit a photo of their product at recalls.gracobaby.com to receive a replacement at no cost. The seat may continue to be used without the base in accordance with the product manual while awaiting the replacement. The recall page lists the specific model numbers and date codes covered under the action.

The recall adds to product safety scrutiny facing juvenile products manufacturers heading into the spring retail season. Graco's parent company, Newell Brands (NWL), may face questions about quality control processes, though the company has emphasized the issue was caught during internal testing before any consumer injuries were reported. For Target and Walmart, the recall triggers standard shelf pull protocols but carries limited material revenue impact given the narrow scope of the affected product line.
