Today I’m giving a full review on the Graco Extend2Fit Convertible Car seat. Letting you know the features I like or don’t like and everything the Graco Extend2Fit Convertible Car Seat has to offer including extended rear facing capabilities, one step height and harness adjustment and multiple tilt positions! Have you tried the Graco Extend2Fit Convertible Car Seat? What car seat do you have in your car and what do you like about it? Thank you to Graco for sponsoring today’s video. My opinions and recommendations are always honest regardless of whether or not the video is sponsored.
Elle Lindquist Make sure you read your latch system weight limit when rear-facing. Because if it's 40 lb that's 40 lb including child and carseat, not just the child. If both car seat and child weigh more than 40 you have to use the seat belt strap
I just got this car seat for my one year old this week. He is a tall child and outgrew his first car seat height wise. We are still struggling with installation because we have a smaller car, but this review made it a lot easier to understand!
We just bought the same one for our tall toddler. He loves it. It came recommended by a Car Seat installation tech. Always nice to see reviews from other moms too. :)
Thank you for posting this!!! I'm 6 months pregnant and have been so overwhelmed by which car seat to pick. Just added this to my registry!! 🎉 My husband and I are expecting a boy and I've really enjoyed watching your videos ☺️
You and I are on the same brainwave this week! Your videos have been so helpful for me! I was just searching through car seats for my 9 month old! Her little feet are dangling off her infant car seat and it's just way too heavy to tote around now, time for an upgrade! I have been looking at this one but you shared even more details that I didn't know about it. You sealed the deal for me! This is the one!
I have this car seat and I absolutely love it! I would highly highly recommend it to anybody! I actually started using it when my daughter was four months old and we will be able to continue to use it for a long time, definitely a great buy!
I wish they had car seats like that when my kids were little!! The no-fuss harness straps were the biggest selling point! It's hard to put a toddler in a car seat if they're flailing because they don't want to sit in it! Lol ! That makes it so much easier! The only thing that bugs me is how many car seats get thrown out because no one wants them! Now car seats are getting technological, too! I'm amazed, though! ☺
We have this car seat for my son!! I absolutely love it, I think the installation is so easy and my son is a tall boy too and I want to keep him rear facing as long as possible!!
I'm so glad you did this review! We were looking into getting this car seat but my oldest is really tall and our youngest is also a pretty big guy and we want to keep him comfortably rear facing as long as possible. And I can't believe it can last up to 10 years! It pretty much pays for itself!
Love the strap feature!!! Buckles are always so cumbersome! The no more threading the straps was game changer (also on several seats now including our Chicco and your Britax). Nice review....looks a bit wide, but lighter so that might be a plus
So, how difficult is it to take the cover off to wash it? Also, is it difficult at all to tighten the chest straps? These are the 2 major complaints I keep seeing in reviews that is keeping me from ordering it. Thanks!
This is one of my top options for baby number two. I'm hoping it's just as good for babies, as it is toddlers. I really like it and thank you for the review 😊 btw I love watching your vlogs! 😃
That back seat looks familiar - I also have a Camry. We are looking for a convertible car seat to keep in my husband's truck, and this one looks fantastic. Thank you for the review!
RaeDean Kendall Graco car seats are nice but I have found Britax with it’s safe cell technology to be ahead of them as well as the Nuna Rava and the Clek. you can actually recycle your Clek when you are done with it.
Alicia Una Ryan hello! Or, good morning GOOD MORNING! Although, I think morning is long gone for you!! 😁 Forde was so sweet! He killed me at the end of the video! 💞💕
I have the 4Ever version of this, which just adds in the high back/backless booster, otherwise they're the same. So glad you gave it such a rave review! And Forde, too! I totally didn't realize it had the fuss free pocket for the buckles, I had to go out and check if mine had that and it does. Awesome! It just got even better! So, thank you!! 😂👍🏻
Do you have a video of your son in a seat that doesn’t extend? I feel like I am going to have the same issue with my son being very tall. I’m wondering if this one will be worth the extra $ over the 4ever DLX 4 in 1
Wow those belt holders are amazing!!! Wish my britax had it! How was his head? I've seen some graco seats and the head piece seems to squish the child's head
We love ours!!! We got ours on Amazon on sale for about $160 USD I think. We will definitely be getting another when baby #2 grows out of our infant seat :)
ooooh this looks pretty sweet. i may try to sell my convertible maxi cosi and go to this. casper is super tall already for his age so if it fits Forde it should be a good bet!
To loosen the harness do you push the tab down or pull it up? On the contender 65 you can pull it or push it and I really like that feature since it is easier to pull up.
I know this is almost a year old but how didmit fit next to your other car seats? I’m interested in buying this because of the extended rear facing for my Tall 3 year old but I have two other children and will need to have a seat right next to it.
Does anyone knows the height/age limit for this carseat, forward facing, I need to buy one for next year, my daughter is a tiny girl, I was wondering if anyone has an older child that can still fit on this seat with the 5 point harness? It's between this and the diono rainier
Wendye Roche leg injuries are really unlikely and if they have a leg injury, it’s better than a broken neck. Please do research. And forward facing is 75% less safe than rear facing for children under age 4. I won’t have a child under four in my car unless they are in a rear facing seat other than a Graco seat. I do not feel Graco is as safe as Britax, Nuna or some other brands

Lindsay Smith congratulations on your pregnancy!! 💕😍 So glad this will be helpful for you!!
I wouldn’t ! I didn’t do enough research and this is what I got for my registry. Now we have to buy a stroller for infants and another car seat.
Did you end up using this one for your newborn? How did it work out? We're thinking of getting this one too.

Thank you for putting Forde in it for reference. I know it should last a long time, but I don't know how fast kids grow so this was helpful.
Oh good, Laura! I thought it might be helpful to have my little helper demonstrate it for visual purposes! :)

I just switched to this carseat. And I love it! I have a standard infant carseat before and at almost 8 months my son already was too tall for it 😮.
Sooo adorable when Forde says "it's good friends!" ❤️❤️❤️😂
We have this car seat for my son!! I absolutely love it, I think the installation is so easy and my son is a tall boy too and I want to keep him rear facing as long as possible!!
Jess Van exactly! It's pretty great that they can stay rear-facing so long now with this kind of seat! 😍🤓👍
Have the extended fit platinum, no loop to pull it right. That's a great feature for you.
I'm so glad you did this review! We were looking into getting this car seat but my oldest is really tall and our youngest is also a pretty big guy and we want to keep him comfortably rear facing as long as possible. And I can't believe it can last up to 10 years! It pretty much pays for itself!
Seriously! So true! Glad you liked the video, Taylor. :)
YAS! This is our car seat already. Means I picked a winner if it's got Elle's stamp of approval 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lauren Whitehead 😄😄😂😂💞💞
My kids are super tall too. This video has saved me so much time in research! Thank you!
Jennifer Taylor yay!! So glad this has helped you! 💞😄
Thanks for sharing about the fuss free harness, I was really interested in that feature!

"It's good friends!" Ford is so cute! 😍
Forde is the sweetest! "It's good friends!" ❤😆

So Graco does still make the best carseats!!!!! Very cool 😎
RaeDean Kendall they do! Glad you liked it! 😁❤💛💜

This was great! I was debating on whether or not to get this for my 13 month old, and now I definitely will. Very informative video. 👍
Would you reccomend this seat for long road trips? Is it comfortable?
I'll have to look this one up! 👍🏻Forde is such a mini-Dan, aww! X
I am very impressed & Forde was just the cutest model. Great job buddy
Greetings from Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Alicia Una Ryan hello! Or, good morning GOOD MORNING! Although, I think morning is long gone for you!! 😁 Forde was so sweet! He killed me at the end of the video! 💞💕
I love that Forde called it a botter wottle!. 🤣 So stinkin' cute!
Katelyn Page thank you! I thought so, too, but I'm a bit biased! 😁😙💕
Good morning! Wish you a lovely day Elle! Awesome useful information!
Ziyi Yen good morning GOOD MORNING! Thank you!! 😍 Glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you have a great day, too! Anything fun planned? 🤔
Elle Lindquist In Singapore, we are having a night festival where they use art to light up the Night! I'm going to attend That! How about yourself? 😄
How fun!! Today, need to get out and do a few things! 50% chance of rain today, so hope it holds off!
Elle Lindquist well, hopefully the sky holds up till you're done with the list😁
Was told I should remove head insert since it’s for newborns mainly. Do I have to or can I leave it?
What kind of car is this fitting in? Does passenger have enough room when it’s fully extended out the extra 5 inches?
Good morning, good morning! At the lab waiting for my blood tests. Please keep me in your prayers.
Oh wow, Angelica! Will totally keep you in my prayers! Hope all goes well!
Elle Lindquist Thank you, I will be sure to keep you in the loop.
I have the 4Ever version of this, which just adds in the high back/backless booster, otherwise they're the same. So glad you gave it such a rave review! And Forde, too!
I totally didn't realize it had the fuss free pocket for the buckles, I had to go out and check if mine had that and it does. Awesome! It just got even better! So, thank you!! 😂👍🏻
Michelle Lynn you are so welcome! Glad this highlighted a few features on the seat you have, too! 😄💞
Do you have a video of your son in a seat that doesn’t extend? I feel like I am going to have the same issue with my son being very tall. I’m wondering if this one will be worth the extra $ over the 4ever DLX 4 in 1
Wow those belt holders are amazing!!! Wish my britax had it! How was his head? I've seen some graco seats and the head piece seems to squish the child's head
Forde didn't say anything negative about his head - seemed to like it! :)
We love ours!!! We got ours on Amazon on sale for about $160 USD I think. We will definitely be getting another when baby #2 grows out of our infant seat :)
Wow, that's an awesome price.
why the heck am I watching this? I am 16 and don't even have kids XD very informative anyways!
Despina 😂😂 glad you liked it anyway!! 💕
Awww! Thank you so much, Darby Family Life!! 😍😄💕
Despina I watched it, too, and I have no kids near that age, either! Lol
LOL

Tall 3 year old but I have two other children and will need to have a seat right next to it.
Do you think this car seat will fit in a small car rear facing with the recline position?
Want to get this but not sure if it's going to be too bulky for my Honda Fit 🤔
Now I now what the hell those hooks are for 😂😂😂
Love your videos 😍
Queen Bee thank you!! 💞
Elle Lindquist your welcome 😁
I just got this and I’m wondering if the base of this careseat comes off??
No it doesn’t
Holey moley Forde is the cutest!!
Is this car seat FAA approved ? Where can I find FAA sticker on it?
Does anyone knows the height/age limit for this carseat, forward facing, I need to buy one for next year, my daughter is a tiny girl, I was wondering if anyone has an older child that can still fit on this seat with the 5 point harness? It's between this and the diono rainier
Ok so was it hard to tighten ??
Good morning, GOOD MORNING!!! Very informative and I loved your male model😉
Stay you😘
Heather Shobe good morning GOOD MORNING! Thank you so much!! 😙💕😄
Is the car seat safe for newborns?
Tatiana, it says from newborn up to 65 lbs! :)
Can I use this as an infant car seat?
Have you tried any other convertible car seat? Im so confused because there are too many
Omg thank you
It’s not safe to put your weight in it! It’s only meant to hold 65lbs.
Meet Emmy I cringed when she did that 😫
You are beautiful! I love your hair so much!
Hoboska thank you!! 😙💕
So god video and handsome boy, i like it
Looks like he's too tall for that car seat..he has to bend his legs..but if he was sitting facing forward I'm sure his legs would have more room.
Wendye Roche leg room is not a reason to turn a child forward facing. They find ways to get comfy and Forde looked perfect and safe in this seat!
Wendye Roche leg injuries are really unlikely and if they have a leg injury, it’s better than a broken neck. Please do research. And forward facing is 75% less safe than rear facing for children under age 4. I won’t have a child under four in my car unless they are in a rear facing seat other than a Graco seat. I do not feel Graco is as safe as Britax, Nuna or some other brands
perhaps a little more carseat a little less selfie?
Bad time consumming installation. Dont recommend.
