Q: Does the position of the seat adjust/ does it recline for when the toddler is sleeping?
submitted by CGG - 4 months ago
A: Thanks for your inquiry! We do want to advise that the car seat is meant to be a vehicle restraint and not intended for long periods of sleeping. We also want to assure you that if the child is harnessed correctly, meaning the chest clip is in the correct place and the harness is tightened correctly the car seat should not cause breathing issues if sleeping. We hope this information helps!-The Graco Team

The bottom clasp that the 2 hooks go in is very tight. It’s not going to adjust with growth. Please advise.

We needed to buy a car seat for our grandson for our car because he is growing out of his Graco infant seat. I searched a lot online and decided to stick with Graco because I like what he has now and the reviews are good. I liked that this one was space saving as we have other grandkids that may need to fit in the backseat. When I opened up I was impressed with the feel of the seat. It feels good quality and durable, but also comfortable. I love how as he grows you don’t have to adjust shoulder straps, you just raise the head support with on lever and automatically adjusts! So much better than when my kids where small! The installation was simple to me and set right to where the level said it should be. Also the adjustment to tighten/loosen straps works very smoothly. I look forward to trying my grandson in his “big boy” seat! I definitely recommend for someone not looking to spend a fortune but still have a nice quality seat that doesn’t take up tons of room and I would suspect it would be great for plane travel:)

This car seat was great for travel! We took it on the airplane and unfortunately it did not fit rear facing but we quickly moved it to forward facing. It was light weight to fit in a car seat back pack bag and we were able to easily move around the airport as needed. It was also super easy to install in a car in less than a minute!

I am in love with this carseat. I bought it for my granddaughter and I wish it was around when I had children. I call it her 'cadillac' carseat complete with a cupholder. She loved it the minute she sat down. She is 1 year old but she was dancing and smiling. Thanks Graco!
Cheaply made.

As a first time grandmother this car seat meets all my requirements. It is safe, comfortable, easily adjustable, easy to install, and parent approved by my granddaughter's parents. They are even a little envious that their car seat is not this nice!

Was purchased for my year old grand daughter. Was shipped and received timely. Set up was easy and the car seat seems very safe. She is still able to sit rear facing dueto her size.
10/10!

This car seat is for trips out with our 1 1/2 year old grandson. The ordering and delivery process went smoothly, fast and easy. At first glance, the car seat looks sturdy and comfortable yet it’s not very heavy. Grandson promptly fell asleep our first trip out in it. I guess that’s a good sign.
Car seat with a purpose.

My daughters bought this for my grandson that I keep due to his parents being locked up. They help me out because I could not afford it at the time. My grandson is 22 months old and can unsnap the chest clip and he can unclick the buckle if he is in there long enough. He did one of them. I feel like I have no protection for my grandson.

Foam fell off headrest so I'm having to purchase a new carseat

Would not recommend
Veronica S - 7 months ago
It seemed to help with my child's car sickness but after a year and a half of owning it, the foam fell off of the headrest while removing the cover to wash it. It never had any impacts and was always handled gently; so I'm not sure why this happened.
