My SIL is a state trooper and his coworker specializes in car seat safety and instruction. He said you can't go wrong with Graco carseats! Extremely safe, and he has pulled many of these seats out of car accidents where they protected the child VERY well. Don't waste your money on high priced, overhyped $1,000 car seats!
I ordered a $44 booster seat for my 4 yr old.. They accidentally sent me this $200 seat. At first I was pretty annoyed but when I researched it and it said 65 pounds I decided to keep it.
Best decision I’ve ever made.
Fits perfectly for my 4 yr old ,40 pounds and 41 inches... with a lot of room to grow!
Even put my 6 yr old nephew in it and 10 month old friends baby. Perfect fit and so quick and easy to adjust.
It was also very easy to install
Literally took me 5 minutes!
Plus it has the IHHS crash test highest rating for side impact and overall safety...
It’s also a lot more narrow than other convertible car seats. I put it in the middle of my compact car(Ford Focus) and it takes up no more room than her last 5 point harness seat.
Literally the best seat I’ve ever bought or seen.
What an amazing accident 😂
Babylist Yes it was !!
Great review, thank you - I just ordered 2 for my youngest daughter (1 for our vehicle, 2nd for my in laws vehicle) . We have the 4ever fit for her older sister, but the Extend2Fit's were on sale for about 45% off so for the price of 2x it's just a tiny bit over the cost of 1x 4Ever fit , so it made the decision pretty easy , esp since we can just buy our oldest a separate booster and move our youngest into the 4ever fit down the road :)
Great review! Thank you mama. We bought one after watching the review.
Was considering getting two cybex siona s seats. This looks like a great alternate for my husband car which we will rarely ride in
Thanks for sharing! This was very helpful for us!
Thanks for your videos. I have to buy a car seat for my 1yo and with all these options I am getting a headache. There's some as low as $50, all the way up to $400 and more. I realize my child's safety is priceless but I feel like some of these car seats shouldn't be so highly priced. I was relieved when I saw one of your videos stating that all car seats on the market meet or exceed safety requirements so now I have to decide which one to buy. The only one available in my town is the Graco 4ever DLX. It's $250 but I like it and if it has good reviews, I'm sold. Britax can be bought for $50 cheaper but their cheapest model isn't an all in 1.
We totally feel you! SO many options. Really happy this was helpful! if you're still doing some research, here's a guide that could also help: www.babylist.com/hello-baby/best-convertible-car-seats?
You make great videos! Good job, you!
Great review!
Graco is just a cute carseat and a 🐭 and love to share.
Canadian Version: When the baby is 22+lbs and back facing, the leg extender panel *MUST* be used at position 3 or 4. This will leave less room for the passenger on a smaller vehicle.
Amazing video, thanks for the info! I think I'll be buying this seat :)
Elias Mohamad how do u loosen straps?? And tighten them..
@@Mariekr49 I'm really sorry I did not buy this one. If you couldn't find out, let me know and I'll do a search and let you know.
thank you 🙏
Which do you prefer? The extend to fit or the dlx all in one?
How do u loosen the straps?? We tryed to loosen them and the straps came in done on the back had so much trouble
How does this seat fit with the extend2fit fully extended and reclined? I have a 2020 Jeep Cherokee and curious if it will fit without completely moving the front passenger seat forward and straight up. Thanks!
i also have a 2020 jeep cherokee and looking for a carseat to fit! any update?
Is this chair certified for use in aircraft?
HOW DO U LOOSEN STRAPS IN DESPERATE NEED FOR HELP. We tryed to and they came “un done” in the back. We couldn’t figure out how to put them back so just ended up returning and buying another in hopes it won’t happen again. Ah

Can this car seat go into the nimble lite stroller?
There's only one latch ?
Do you loosen and tighten the straps each time? Because its really hard to loosen them!
caittyk I find it really easy. I find tightening them difficult at time but now I pull the straps on the back of the seat and pull
Is this appropriate for a infant?
Did you prefer the extend2fit over the 4ever car seat?
I ended up getting an extend2fit. they're cool and i like the extra room. i also got a Chicco NextFit Zip Max. that one is better with a built in extension instead of a moving part. i feel the chicco would be safer but we still have both. 1 for each car so yeah there ya go extension is better
The 4ever also comes in extend 2 fit
How do you loosen the straps?? I’ve been fighting with the car seat for an hour now😐
RM D u just push the button and pull the straps
OMG ME TOO!! we loosened them and the straps came un done in the back,we could not figure it out we ended up RETURNING the car seat and now getting a new one hoping we don’t do it again?? Please let me know if u find out
Hayden Lee what button where???
@@Mariekr49 lol u know the little strap in between their legs that you pull to tighten the belt? Right where that strap is if you put your finger there’s a button you push down and pull the straps loose
My husband and I just bought this carseat. I was wondering how we can detach for carrying or if that's possible.
We have the car seat. I don't think it's possible
@@sabrinameli8167 thank you !
Can you use this with a Graco stroller? Or is it exclusively for cars?
Convertible car seats (like this one) don't actually click onto strollers. You might be thinking about an INFANT car seat (sometimes called a bucket seat). Infant car seats can be taken out of the car easier and clip into a compatible stroller with the correct car seat adapter. Here's a few videos that might help explain further:

I bought this car seat because I love that it allows for rear facing longer, However it does not fit in the center of my Ford Escape rear facing, only forward facing. I know the center seat and rear facing is safest but this won't instal with the latch in center as they are to wide apart per manufacturer. I tried with the seatbelt but to loose. So I have it rear facing on the passenger side and it fits perfect there with latch. Baby is nearing 3 years old so debating switching him to forward facing in center (as it fits well in center forward facing only with seatbelt) OR keep him rear facing on passenger side longer. He is comfortable there and height nor weight limit is near the max for the seat. I just worry about the rare but more dangerous side impact. I know rear facing is safest in the case of the more common front or rear collision. What do you think is safest? Appreciate any feedback! Thank you in advance :)
The safest seat is where u can get the best install. It’s perfectly fine on the outbound seats.
Just remember if u ff bf 40 pounds it goes on recline four
Thanks for the info. I also have an Escape and was wondering if it could go rear facing in the middle.
Carol E I’m not a tech so I wouldn’t know you just have to try. Install it then see if it moves more than an inch. If so move it to the outside seats and try latch (under 45pound with this seat) remember u can’t use latch in the middle.
What is the long latch at the back of this car seat? My husband is convinced it needs to hook to something.
They are latches to hook onto on the back seat of your car. If you have an suv it’s through the trunk and a small car I believe is up on top by the rear shield. Latch it in and tighten it
How should the baby look once in the car seat? When do you remove the first layer of padding? With it my baby looks too cramped, without it my baby looks like he's slouching. TY!
I'm curious about that too! I'm trying to decide on a car seat but I've been seeing reviews that it pushes the baby's head forward too much.
Great question! In the manual, this is what it says about the headrest pillow: "Curved bottom of head pillow allows for head pillow to be pulled down to fit smaller infants."
For reference, we found a video where you can see a smaller looking baby in the seat here: ruclips.net/video/RfvmztvydVM/видео.html and an even smaller one here: ruclips.net/video/OGD_dHY49J0/видео.html
Hope that helps!
Can be used from birth ??
So if your child hits 65lbs you can no longer use the seat?
Can you use this for newborns?
Yes
I don’t like it because you can’t click or connect it anywhere. You’d have to buy to car seats for an infant.
It's weird how satisfying the sound of a "click" into a base is, isn't it?!
We purchased a click connect system but at 1 year our baby's legs were so cramped we ended up having to get a new seat. We ended up purchasing the extend2fit
Still avoided the big one. Strap tightening/ loosening
This makes flying on an airplane so much easier
My son is 25 pounds and 3 years old. Can I switch him to front facing?
DreadInNY I’m glad you asked this. I have a smaller boy, 27 pounds 2.5 years.
I’m waiting to forward face him until he is at least 30 pounds we are in no rush.
@@BlendedBarbieDoll Than k you for detailed reply. I forgot this seat extends. I extended it to give him a little more time rear facing.!
I bought this a year ago and just gave it to my mom for her car. The straps fall down and i don’t know if im doing something wrong or its the car seat having problems. Please anyone send me a message to see whats going on.
We'd recommend contacting Graco for some support! Here's the contact page: www.gracobaby.com/en-US/contactus
The straps are INSANE I cannot find out how to loosen them returning
