Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat ft. Insta-Install Rigid LATCH - Ace

I really liked this infant seat until the rigid latches broke on me after a few uses. I was very careful every time I got it in and out of the car and the latches still broke. They stay open and won't lock when you press them into the lower latches. Such a bummer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best Car Seat ever! I got this for a baby shower gift, and for my 3rd child, I am so mad they didn't have this seat for my first two kids, I love everything about this seat, I love that I didn't have to buy a base for dad, grandparents, etc cars and That I could take baby with me anywhere and in any car without worry of a base.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wife was in a car accident with our baby in the back not only was our baby safe in the car seat but was also completely unbothered by the accident. Also extremely convenient car seat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this item a month ago and I absolutely love it!!!! It’s super cute, soft, and I love the levels on it and the reclining aspect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love this baseless car seat! It’s lightweight, easy to install securely, and makes switching between vehicles incredibly convenient. The quality is excellent, and knowing our baby is safe while avoiding the hassle of an extra base has been a huge plus

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last month for my then 1.5 month baby. I like it very much that I can easily transfer the car seat from my husbands car to mine. However, it doesn’t recline that well (I wish it could) on neither of our cars (less fit on my husband’s car which is a Nissan Ariya) but it is acceptable in my Toyota Corolla Cross. Also, I do not like the fabric that covers the seat; it makes my baby sweat too much. Otherwise, the convenience of not taking a lot of space in the car and the easy transfer and install it from one car to another, is really good. It does feel safe but it is a bit unstable since it moves a little from side to side.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A beautiful seat that is easy to use and very safe! Install is very easy and secure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with the go max. It’s soft, comfortable and easy install. I gave it a 4 for the sun visor, I wish it was a little bigger and not flimsy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy to install and switch from car to to car without having to worry about a base!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a game changer if you have multiple cars! No more buying extra bases or having empty bases in the car you aren’t using. This baseless car seat snaps in so easily. It works really well for me as a grandma who takes my grandbaby and daughter in-law to doctor appointments while my son works. It also looks very high end and comfortable. I was worried about movement but it stays secure and I feel like it’s very safe!

I have been using the GoMax car seat for traveling with my infant since August 2025, and it has been wonderful for traveling in cars (rental cars, other people's cars, taxis, etc) and is FAA-approved for travel on airplanes (a complaint on this below...) It works well with Graco strollers and adapters via the quick connect system, but it unfortunately does not click into a typical Graco base. They have a separate base you can purchase but it's not as convenient if you have more than one car seat and you want to use the same base. However, the feet that flip down to connect to the LATCH points in vehicles makes it easy to install in any modern car. I would be giving this car seat 5 stars but after traveling with it on a flight this past weekend, I have a complaint based on my experience. As I was boarding my flight with my infant who was strapped into the car seat, I was asked by flight attendants if the car seat was FAA-approved and that they needed to see the sticker that said so. They were unable to find the sticker, as it was not clearly visible on the side or back, so they had me go to my seat and take my baby out so they could look for it since I was struggling to lift the car seat up high enough with my baby strapped in. They finally found it on the bottom underneath the straps, which is a terrible location. Also, the flight attendants were initially looking for an airplane icon, but the sticker only has red text in a small font, located in a large paragraph of text. It is very difficult to find, especially when you're trying to board an aircraft quickly with a baby! This was a huge pain and inconvenience while traveling with my infant, especially solo. Graco should place this sticker in a much more accessible location, especially if it is going to be advertised as THE travel car seat to buy. Graco should also consider adding the airplane icon because the flight attendants said they were looking for that specifically to help them identify the location of the FAA approval sticker. I plan on sending in a formal complaint but wanted to leave a review to let others know who are looking at purchasing this car seat so they can plan accordingly during travel. That's really my only negative feedback, but it was a big deal to me on this trip and tarnished my view of the product. If they change the location of the sticker, I'd give this car seat 5 stars again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight, easy to install in whatever car you’re using. Very well padded and comfortable for little one! Would repurchase again and again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No base required ! Works easily with the Nest 2 Grow stroller !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A bit tricky to put in, but fits with 3 child seats across!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install and easy to take out especially having 3 kids now it makes life easier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this car seat a month or so ago and so far I’m not liking the headrest part, the straps will go over his shoulders where they should but the pads are way above his head it makes zero sense. Not safe especially for babies

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy install, rigid anchors make it quick and accurate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality, durable, easy to install, instructions are also easy to navigate!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love this car seat it’s easy to take out and easy to put in, not super heavy and baby loves it!

Hoeslt if I can do a 0 star I would we have so much trouble trying to get the car seat out of the car we spent hours just trying to remove it from the base. It constantly gets jammed into base. Sucks I spent so much money on it only had it 3 months
