Graco 4Ever DLX Grad 5-in-1 Slim Car Seat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 4-in-1 car seat is great! I received this car seat through Stellar Product Testing Panel! It is lighter weight than some of the others we have tried, yet it will last us for years!! Usually the car seats that move the years with you are heavier and more bulky than this. The fact that it isn't bulky is great, as we have two kids under 3. The material is a great texture, not too hard and itchy, but also seemingly soft but not the kind of "soft" that will stain easily. The straps are comfortable and the cushioning is fantastic for my 16 month old. The material is already easy to clean and the fact that you can take it off and throw it in the wash is even better. It was an easy install, so it will be easy to move into my husband's or baby sitters car if needed. I really love the fact that this seat will lead all the way up to when our youngest is a little kid and not just a toddler or infant. The cupholders are easy to take out and clean, which is definitely a plus with a messy toddler. Overall, this is a 5 star product. It's easy to clean, install, and relocate. The gray color scheme is also great as it won't get hot like a black color and it won't stain as easily with a lighter color. My toddler definitely seems comfortable in it so it will be great for those long summer car rides. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely obsessed with our new Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 Car Seat. How I'm a mom of 4 and didn't know this seat existed is beyond me. Having this seat would've literally saved us thousands of dollars. My hands down favorite feature is of course the fact that this car seat with last us 10 years and will grow with our children starting from the rear facing stage, all the way to a backless booster. I have children ranging in age from 2 years to 7 years so I can currently use this car seat at each stage. Normally, that would be nearly impossible with installation and all of the time consuming/difficult adjustments, but Graco made this car seat extremely easy to both install and adjust. Having the headrest and no rethread harness be able to adjust together in one movement is incredibly helpful. Graco even included a harness storage compartment! I love that this car seat offers a 10 position headrest to ensure a proper/comfortable fit for each little one. An added safety measure I really appreciate is the anchor latch that you can hear click into place so there's no question at all if the seat is securely installed. A feature I had to see to believe was having the ability to remove the cover to wash in 1 minute without having to uninstall the seat. I was completely blown away as it actually took less than 60 seconds. I have never ever had a car seat with a cover that easy to remove. Thankfully, there have been no spills etc and we haven't had to wash it yet but that time will quickly come and having this feature will truly be a lifesaver. All of my children have tried the car seat and not one of them complained about being uncomfortable . The seat offers plenty of cushion and support. They all especially enjoy the 2 cup holders, I for snack and 1 for drink. Graco did an exceptional job keeping both little one and parent/caregiver in mind when they made this seat. I will never use another car seat and this will be my go to baby shower/new parent gift. This is by far the best baby related product I've ever owned! Thank you so much to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this game changing car seat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and we’ve been really happy with it so far. One of the best things about the 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 Car Seat is that it works for both our 2-year-old and our 4-year-old. We love that it easily adjusts to different sizes, which is especially helpful when grandparents are helping to pick up the kids! They can use the same seat to safely transport either kid without needing to swap anything out. It gives us peace of mind knowing it’s secure and safe for either kid. The seat looks great, and the fabric feels nice and breathable—perfect for longer car rides to the cabin on weekends. Our kids seem super comfy in it, and we really love the built-in cup holders. They lock into place, so they don’t get knocked off easily, and our 2-year-old can actually reach her water bottle in them on her own. The only small issue we noticed is the strap covers near the neck—they feel a little scratchy, but nothing too bothersome. Adjusting the seat was way easier than we expected. It only takes a minute or two to get it set up for whichever kid is riding, which has made things way more convenient for us. One small challenge has been the release button for the shoulder straps. It’s located under the fabric, and the strap cord sits right on top of it, so it takes a little extra effort to press and release. Not a dealbreaker at all, just something to get used to. And finally—cleaning this car seat is very easy. Because it’s simple to take off and put back on, we actually clean it more often. With summer coming up and all the sand, snacks, and sweat that come with it, we’re really glad this part is hassle-free. Overall, this car seat checks all the boxes for us—it’s safe, easy to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. However, this is the same car seat we use for my two year old, just an older version. It literally checks all the boxes for us. We have very tall boys but my toddler still fits comfortably rear facing in his, and this model is even more comfortable! We love that it has the ability to grow through all the stages of childhood, it’s the only car seat we’ll ever need! It’s also incredibly easy to adjust and switch from one car to another. The padding is very soft, and very cushioned and I love the steel reinforcement as safety and comfort are two of my biggest concerns with picking a car seat. Having the quick remove cover is just icing on the cake! Messes in the car seat are inevitable, but it makes them much less stressful being able to remove the cover without having to take out the whole seat. My only concern would be if you have a small car, it is a pretty bulky seat! We have a full sized SUV with a third row and fit two of these seats rear facing with plenty of room in the middle. There’s really no other car seat I’d rather use! It’s hands down everything I could want and more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of four little ones, I spend a lot of time loading and unloading kids, running errands, and shuttling to activities. With all of my kids still in car seats, I’ve tried a lot of car seats—and the Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 is hands-down my favorite. What I love most is that this seat grows with my kids. From 4 to 120 lbs…That’s incredible! I can start using it with my youngest child as a rear-facing infant seat, and not have to worry about replacing it year after year. I’m already envisioning it sticking with us all the way through booster stage, which saves money, time, and the headache of re-shopping. The fabric is plush but breathable—no sweaty backs even after long drives. The inserts give my smaller kiddos a snug, secure fit without looking squished, and they are easy to remove for the older ones. Every one of my kids has seemed super comfy in it. Adjusting the harness and headrest is so simple. No re-threading anything—just a quick squeeze and lift. That’s a big deal when you’ve got four squirmy kids and you’re doing everything one-handed. I can get a proper, safe fit for each child in seconds, which gives me peace of mind. The quick-remove, machine-washable cover is a total game changer. My little ones spill in their car seats all the time! I love that I can just pop off the cover, throw it in the wash, and have it back on in no time—without uninstalling the whole seat. If you’re a parent constantly on the go like I am, the Graco 4Ever DLX is absolutely worth it. It’s safe, super easy to use, and built to last. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the adjustable headrest and how wide it is!!! My baby loves being able to stretch her legs out!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Straps won't loosen without raising the head rest and seat does not stay put in my car. Maybe my back seat has more recline than others? Very comfortable and does not take up much space in the back seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honesty I don't like this carseat isn't too complicated. I prefer the Evenflo brand carseat it's easy to install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cool seat very easy to install. My infant daughter does not mind car rides.

Update: confirmed the DLX was refreshed to meet the new FMVSS 213a standards. Product should have removable pads for kids in the 20-40 lb range. Surprised to see the 4Ever DLX was refreshed recently. I ordered one in April 2025 and received a car seat manufactured in February 2025. Noticed a few new features: 2 inserts now that stack on each other and are very plush (20lbs and then 40 lbs), head insert is plusher, seatbelt convenience holsters were moved to the outside. I was expecting the car seat to be the same thing my older kid uses (manufactured in 2021)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco 4Ever DLX Grade 5-in-1 Slim Car seat is an excellent product. My daughter had begun to outgrow her original seat which prompted us to start shopping. We came across this model as Graco had marked it 40% off. Doing some homework, we discovered it's in the Top 5 of most child seats and with the price being several hundreds below the competition, we bought one. After a few weeks, we are happy to report that we are extremely pleased with the 4Ever DLX and have bought two more. It's easy to install, easy to operate, and has a lot of features/versatility. My daughter is very happy with this seat, she's about to hit 12 months, and cannot get over the space and comfort. Thanks Graco!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Doesn’t have a flat bottom, returned. 3 year old 4ever dlx has flat bottom, this one has feet that are not even on the seat rear facing. Bad design on a lot of the newer Graco car seats. Appears they are cutting cost by removing bottom plastic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My baby loves it! He loves having room for his legs to wiggle and the cup holders are a huge plus for him!

We love this seat for our second baby. The quality is great and we love the rapid remove seat pad to wash. The only reason this loses a star for me is that the infant insert supports just loosely sit behind baby. They don’t snap in place or anything. I have to constantly slide it back into place after putting baby in

It literally took me about 6 months to find a car seat. I kept going back and forth. Trying to decide if I should stay in the Nuna family but this car seat has so many great reviews. Finally just bought it. I am extremely happy!

Comes with horrible instructions. No videos showing how to install. Avoid at all costs

My son loves it, nice and comfy for his size it would be nice if it came with a 360 but I still love it

Love every feature of this seat I can fit three across, I have gone through so many and this one is my favorite and now we have two of them.

Life saving great product! Durable and easy to install, and buckle in and out. Had to replace after accident, but was so glad to have this model, I wont buy anything else now

This car seat is wonderful and super easy to set up which was a plus. We are new parents so this is a great first car seat.
