Seems silly that Graco wouldn't just make it comply with international standards, but maybe the standards are different enough to actually be incompatible?

Try looking up the manual for your SnugRide

The standards have to be similar I would imagine. And as familyflier said, good enough for US DOT, FAA/air travel and most important, the parents, well, then probably good enough for the UK.
