It is ProtectPlus Engineered for frontal, side, rear, and rollover crashes, and includes a no-rethread harness system with 10-position headrest, 4-position recline, and InRight LATCH for easy installation.

Safe

KimRK

I bought this for my grandson. I don’t have much to compare it to as car seats are much different than they were 35 years ago. But it seems comfortable to him and seems very safe.

Love this seat

Christina218

We love this seat! It is such a cute color and it was easy to install. We love that the cup holders don’t come completely off so we can’t lose them. Straps are comfortable and safe. My only complaint is that the purple color shows every single stain and is impossible to keep clean.

Easy and basic!

LBme512

Recently purchased and I am pretty happy with it. One complaint I have is the size of the cup holders, they are too small for some of the water bottles I have. This is the first seat I have had this issue with. Other than that, I would say it is a decent seat overall.

Great Car Seat!

TheGreatOne

This car seat sat perfectly in my car. Easy to install and the best part is that its stable when it comes to driving. Graco is great! I definitely would shop again when I need a new car seat!

Easy install

Ed6092

Installation was super easy and my baby seems to like the comfort of the pads.

Great size for small SUV

Jazmin D

This is our second SlimFit 3-in-1 car seat and we love it. We have a small SUV and there is still space in the middle seat, after installing both car seats on each side in the back.

Great features!

Faprouse

My son is super comfy. Installation was easy. Safety ratings are encouraging. Cup holders are a plus!

Comfortable and safe

Nikkki

This is my second of this carseat. My child finds it and has always found it very comfortable. We got a second because of a car accident. My child was unharmed and didn’t have any whiplash. The seat seemed fine but getting a new one when in an accident is always safest.

Buy it now! Comfy and cute!

Mommy P

My one year old twins love this car seat! They are both some comfortable and love the cup holders! It has much more cushion than our formers car seats. We will be a graco family! We love the color and how it will grow with the children!

We LOVE it!!

MommyOf2xo

I love the versatility and how easy it is to install! We have a smaller vehicle and it fits perfectly. It had two setting for rear facing, 1 sits baby up more, 2 leans back a bit. I haven’t tried the others out since she haven’t gotten there yet but for far i love it! Our 1 year old seems to be pretty comfy in there!

Quality.

Mike S

Quality product for the price. Works very well. Comfortable for kids.

Perfect for my toddler

Hannah27

Love this car seat! I love how the cupholders can fold in making it easier to fit next to our other car seats. I also love the lower anchor belts on this one, way easier to install and uninstall, they work like regular seat belt buckles with the click part. Also I love the name of the color, my son’s name is Silas so it was meant to be! We also have the 3 in 1 snug fit in pink for our newborn and that one is also amazing!

Great fit, easy to install

KayF

2 of these fit well in the back of our Honda Accord with room to spare. That's the main reason we bought them! They're nice too, cupholders are a plus. Nothing fancy which I don't mind!

Amazing

NV96

I absolutely love this car seat! I got it three years ago for my first and definitely had to order another when my second was born. The seat literally grows with them so you save money in the long run.

Better for forward facing.

Sean123

Solid car seat and easy to use, for rear facing little ones legs to rest against the back of the seat.

Highly recommend for First Time Moms

Rocky1130

Great car seat for multiple little ones. Not bulky and fit wonderfully! Easy to install and take out. Cleaning and adjusting for growing kids is also easy. 5 stars!

The only way to ride

Just Dad

Now this is the how we ride. My boy been riding in style with the slim fit 3 in 1. It’s comfortable for him and I’m glad that we have a seat that will grow with him.

Excellent car seat

Shannynanny

I love the ease of loosening the straps, pads are washable, and buckles hang over the sides to keep out of way. I’m a nanny and purchased the car seat so I always have one on hand. I love that it’s easy to use and safe.

Excited to try

Loretta

One car seat versus multiple purchases. Hoping to fit multiple seats in the back of the SUV

Pink comfort

LaylaG

I like the quality and comfort of the car seat. It was easy to install.

Good seat

B945

Pretty good seat overall. Only using with a 6 month old so we'll see how it works as she grows.

Amazing!

Nia M

This seat is perfect for my daughter. She can ride comfortably in the front facing position. And I’m happy to have it as she grows until she needs the high back booster. Amazing!

Great, affordable car seat

Natalia I

I purchased this car seat as a second seat for trips home to visit family. Assembly was straightforward, the chair is compact, and the seat has excellent safety reviews and ratings. It was very affordable, and I highly recommend it to others.

Love IT!!

Daisy888

The color is amazing. The features are great. Love the reclining and the sitting features. The cup holders are pretty cool.

Easy to use/set up

LKpp

Easy to use and doesn’t take up much space. We had the infant carrier until this and this is notably less bulky. I have a midsize suv (rav4) and fits fine. Being able to move the harness straps up and down with the button is nice too and makes it easier to adjust as needed

Car seat that fits

Mama Liz

I have a very small car so it was important for me to get something that would fit nicely in my vehicle but still provide a considerable amount of room for my toddler. Easy installation with plenty of room between the drivers seat and car seat.

Great car seat that grows with your child

RebG

Love this car seat so much! Safe and easy to install + grows with your child. Have been extremely satisfied with it with my older child who is 4. Immediately got another when I learned I was expecting because we’ve had such great experience with this seat! Also love the washable covers that make it easy to clean when life happens!

Definitely Recommend!!

Maddieeeeeeee

I love the latch anchor! It makes installation so easy.

Slim, light, and just as expected

MaribelS

Like how its not as heavy, beaitiful color my son liked it at first sight and kept telling me to place it already in the car. Like how its slim and the cup holders have the option to "fold" in half.

Love it

A Bond

Great car seat doesn’t take up too much room. Kids seem comfortable.

Great switch from bucket seat to this seat

Destiny H

We switched from a Graco infant seat to this seat. 1 year old seems to find the seat comfortable and has plenty of room to grow into the seat. My only complaint is that rear facing in the truck causes the front seat to need moved up.

Great seat!

Chloe M

Transitioned our 1 y/o to this car seat once she outgrew her infant one and both her and I love it! It’s big enough that it’s easy to put her in it, but also slim enough for our car. Easy to install while watching video.

Best carseat

Xenny

We love this carseat. We had one for my daughter and got a second for my son.

Easy to install.

brooksCA

This is a great car seat. The cushioning is plush and soft. It was easy to install.

Good car seat

Bzy14

Great car seat. We love the slim design and the retractable cup holders. The favorite function is the anchor belt. It basically works like a seat belt where you can just click it on the anchors and then push a button to loosen! It’s so much quicker and I find it easier to secure the strap tightly. The car seat is multifunctional for various stages and has ample cushioning.

Secures well and doesn't budge

Grandma MM

Solid and comfy. It will work for multiple ages and is built to last.

Love our new SlimFit car seat

Gpa and Gma

Easy to install. Adjusts easily to accommodate each of our grandchildren. Internal structure is well designed so it is easy to move straps around when you need to. Nice and slim, so can actually sit an adult between 2 car seats.

Graco 3 in 1

Connor C

We got the Graco 3 in 1 seat and couldn’t be happier with how simple it was to install, and it came pre-assembled, which made things easy right out of the box. Will definitely be getting another one when we have another baby.

Good car seat

Kaylee S

Easy to install, love that it will last while my baby grows for a while.

Perfect Fit

Rose10

Perfect for a smaller car! The red button is hard to click even for an adult though.

Easy to change between cars!

Blake1

Works great in both cars and is so easy to switch between them! Little one is happier in this seat than in the infant carrier. 5 stars!!

Great Car Seat

AandW

Easily fits in car. Is snug and secure. Looks great and easy to wipe clean.

Favorite Car seat!

Sophh

Needed another new car seat for my toddler and didn't hesitate to get this one again! Love that it's also slimmer than others and my toddler has never complained about being in it. It's perfect.

Love our graco slim!

Morgan m

Love our graco slim fit. It’s comfortable & easy to install!

SlimFit 4 life

Colin

We’ve bought 4 of these for all our kids. They are the best!

BIG Graco fan!

EmmaJ

Big Graco fan! I bought this one to go in the middle seat of my bench seat. It’s slim enough that both of the seats on the side can be tilted without hitting it. The only thing I don’t absolutely love is the neck and head padding. The car seat is for my toddler and the strap pads and head pad just feels like cheaper material than the car seats I’ve purchased in the past. However, it doesn’t seem to both my toddler.

Awesome

Anam2406

We needed a new car seat for our second car for our three year old, and he absolutely loves this car seat. He wants to go on evening drives because he loves it so much 😆

Easily able to be taken out and installed!

Astreya

A slim fitting car seat with easy installation and looks great also!

Overall a great option

RaeJ

This is our second car seat this style - we really like it EXCEPT the plastic buckle that goes over the chest really digs in at the top when tightened.

Slim for Life

S Nance

Great car seat that grows with our kiddo, slim enough to fit two in the back seat without playing bumper cars. Would recommend.

Great size, hard strap to tighten

Mama Nina

I like the slim fit and sizing of this car seat, I did find the strap to tighten a little hard to pull on. I got this as it was highly recommended by several family and friends!

Great long time car seat

Jrsumm

We own two of these now, they are great for our smaller car. It’s strange the difference the rotating cup feature makes. But I prefer this model to the other slightly older one we have where you can just remove the whole cup.

Great Seat!

Miranda N

I have a cramped back seat and these were perfect fit for my two toddlers!

Perfect Fit

Keila N

Great option for my 4 year old, she very light in weight and very long. This car seat was a perfect fit for her and for my Corolla

Spacious but slim

Cammi

Graco car seats are the best but I wanted something a little smaller to make sure everything fit. I was worried it might be too slim, but this was great. Baby is very comfy and legs feel more spacious for him.

Easy to climb into!

Grandmothers car

It’s a great size. It’s easy for my 4 year old grandson to climb into. Highly recommend!

Amazing car seats!

Destinee C

Love it! Love the color! Fits nicely in my in laws cars. My daughters sit comfortably in them! Definitely would recommend! We have been a Graco family since I was little. Glad we can still trust this company!

Nice but not luxurious

Megan121212

This car seat works well. Not as nice as the slimfit3 LX. Definitely feels cheaper which it is but has all the essentials.

The BEST Car Seat My Baby Is So Happy in This

AnneBA

Okay, moms if you’re debating car seats, let me just say the Graco SlimFit 3-in-1 is a must. We absolutely LOVE it! My baby falls asleep so quickly every time she’s in it. I’m talking knocked out in minutes, even on short drives. That’s how I know she’s super comfortable and feels secure. And honestly, that peace of mind is priceless. What I really appreciate is that it grows with her. I don’t have to worry about buying another seat in a year this one adjusts from rear-facing to forward-facing to a booster, so we’re covered for years. It feels sturdy, safe, and well-made, but it’s also not bulky like some of the others. It fits in our back seat without taking up our whole row, which is amazing. Also, it was really easy to install, and I love that it reclines and adjusts as she grows. The padding is super soft, and I love that she’s both protected and comfy. If you’re a new mom, or even just needing an upgrade, this seat checks all the boxes. Safety, comfort, practicality and it doesn’t take over your whole car. 10/10 recommend!

Comfortable, affordable, perfect size for my car

Jeraldine

My LO is comfortable he's a big boy and this is a great size for my small car. No regrets so far

Simple but effective

Erik Falk

Simple seat, easy to install, does what is advertised, and a decent price. Used for a 10 hr roadtrip (each way) and my daughter seemed comfortable.

Easy and cozy!

WhitneyR

Easy to install. Very impressed with the comfort of the car seat.

Perfect car seat to grow with your little one!

Molly M

We love this caraway so much we have three, the slim design allows us to fit three in the back seat next to each other yet at the same time is big enough that our children are comfortable. They fall asleep without any difficulties in this car seat and stay comfortable which is nice in long road trips!

Easy to use and very comfortable

David A

My daughter loves the seat, it’s very well padded and seems very comfortable for her. The only down side is the seat back doesn’t have a lot of ventilation so she does get a bit sweat on warm days but all in all a great seat. Very easy to setup and she seems very comfy in it!

Perfect size

Casey111

It’s the perfect size if you plan on having multiple car seats and I love that my baby can grow into it.

Best value

Araby P

Love the size and functionality of this car seat. Perfect fit for my 18 month old with plenty of room to grow. Currently using as forward facing in an Explorer and it fits well no problems.

Good carseat

MomO10

This seat was easy to install and adjust while not installed while rearfacing. I wish the chest strap release button was easier to access (a simple flap in the fabric would be helpful). We have a Graco 4-in-1 too and I think that one is a bit more accessible. The cup holders on the 3-in-1are neat (they rotate open and closed) which might be useful as the baby gets bigger.

Easy install, care and adjusments

PaigeC

The carseat is easy to install. My child is comfortable. Very easy to adjust. Fits well in a small car.

Worth the money 100%

Just another mom

This is my third one, I will never buy a different seat for my kids! 10/10

Great size car seat

TheBFam

This car seat has been great! We were able to fit this car seat, a bucket seat, and a fully grown adult in the back of a Crosstrek. It’s got way less bulk than other convertible car seats!

Worth it!

AlyssaB34

We love this car seat! We actually had a different one from a different brand and ended up switching back to Graco. Other brands just don’t compare. The ease of use is unmatched. Can’t say enough good things about this car seat!

Reasonable and Safe

FTMama

This carseat is exactly as advertised. It is high quality for a reasonable price. Our son is safe and comfortable in this carseat!

So happy we bought it twice

sweetmelissa929

We are so happy with our new car seat! Quickly delivered, easy to install, and easy to maneuver a squiggly toddler in and out of. He’s so comfortable, he rarely stays awake if we’re in the car longer than 20 minutes. We feel so safe with our baby in Graco’s hands.

Carseat

Tjackson

Great car seat! Comfortable and safe. I had the older model and upgraded.

Awesome product!

AlexD

I bought this for my son March of 2023 and we still use it. It’s a great product and slim enough to fit him and my two teen daughters in the back of my Volkswagen Tiguan. I was fortunate to buy it with a coupon and on sale but I would have paid full price for it. Installation is easy, we move it from my car to my husband’s truck.

Highly recommended

Marie85

My daughter fits comfortably and is happy! The car seat fits perfectly with my other car seat. I have a peace of mind knowing my children are safe and comfortable.

Easy modifiable car seat

Hannah10

This car seat is easy to use, install and modify as your child gets bigger. It fits well in the backseat but not next to other car seats especially when the cup holders are out.

Parent and kid approved

Sadie88

This is the third one I have bought. It's easy to install and quite safe, in my opinion. My kids love it, too.

Slim Fit good for vans

Grandmother Dede

Great seat. Toddler prefers setting 2 on rear facing carseat mode. Looking forward to her growth,in time,to use same seat in forward facing mode!

Exactly what we needed!

Katie DB

Very pleased! It's very roomy too...which is an awesome upgrade for a growing baby. Fits great in our Honda CRV. Slim enough that the side seats can still fold down.

Great Compact Seat

Nasser

Good compact and sturdy design. Fairly easy to install, has enough room for toddler to be comfortable and really like that some of the material parts can be washed. Since it is slim fit the cup holders are a bit small but other than that has been good so far.

Graco vs Chicco

Julie W

I was using a Chicco Key Fit 35 car seat before this. I think this Graco seat is difficult to adjust because the button to loosen the seat belt is hidden in the seat and very awkward to try and reach while installed in the car. The chest buckle feels wider and harder to unbuckle compared to the Chicco. The shoulder pads are a little rough, and fabric overall feels lower quality. All of that considered, I do feel that the price difference is significant enough to stick with this Graco. It gets the job done and 14 month old seems pretty comfortable. I do wonder if the extend2fit would have been better as his legs are already looking a little cramped and he sticks them out to the sides of the seat in rear facing.

Great car seat!

ANAllen

This car seat has made life so much easier!! I don't mind going anywhere with my toddler. It is easy for me to get in and out of. Also, he can see soo much more! He interacts with other cars and points things out.

Great products don't have to be the most expensive

AJ T

Great product, great value. This car seat works from 5-100lbs, so we will get a lot of use out of it. Rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster capabilities. Rotating cup holders to save space. Simply Safe Adjust Harness allows you to adjust the harness and the headrest at the same time. Four reclining positions for the child's comfort and an InRight Latch system for easy (one-second) installation. The seat is has been heavily tested to provide protection from every angle. This car seat checked all of my boxes at half the price of many of the other trendy brands. Boxes: rear-facing, harness, latch, & safety

Love it!

Jenny F

It’s just what I was looking for to transition my little one from rear to forward facing.

Great seats! Easy to get in and out.

Harmon929

Bought this slim fit seat for our daughter 3 years ago and now bought another for our 1 yr old son as we just transitioned him from his old one with a removable carrier. They’re not extremely slim, but certainly less bulky than most regular car seats. Both kids seem to be quite comfortable in them. With the angle, height and strap adjustments, I feel like we’ll be able to use these all the way up until we decide to go with basic booster seats when they get older. The seats are very easy to put in and take out which is super nice! Overall, we’re very happy we went with these.

Good Value, Bought Two

VanDaddy

We bought one of these a couple years ago and liked the value so much we bought another. Our 14 month old baby figured out how to unbuckle his other seat, but not this one. The seats give our kids enough room without taking up too much width in the car. When not in use, the cup holders can be pivoted to take up less space. The seats are also easy to clip in and not bad if you use a seat belt for front facing. We plan to use these for many years since the labels say they are good for 10 years.

great car seat so far!

Kendra Isbell

so far we like this car seat! we are transitioning from a nuna infant car seat and so far our baby (7 months) likes her new Graco car seat. it fits well in our highlander and i'm a fan of how much room we have to grow in it!

Repeat purchase. Able to use multiple car seats

Original Pop Pop

Repeat buy. We like because of multi grandkids we were able to fit 3 across on those rare conditions in our Honda pilot. One Daughter actually went with wider one and she liked it. However when we bought slim for latest granddaughter she confirmed she like slimline more when having to move between cars. Original slimline ones holding up well. Fits well in Jeep gladiator and did use in G37 convertible a few times. Iike that straps for clicking in

A great seat, I just have trouble unlocking it.

CLim

I have one of these in each car. The color is nice and I feel it’s easy enough to set up. It’s got great directions included. My only hang up is it can be difficult to press the button to unlock the seat belt. Maybe I’ve got a weak hand, but I can get so frustrated, I have my husband step in to help.

Can never go wrong with Graco!

D Aguilar

Great car seat for children. I love the fact that it grows with the child as time goes by. Easy to install as well. Our daughter loves it!

Best One-time Investment

Mel D H

This is a great seat to last your child through their different stages of life! Everything comes apart if theres a mess, and it's fairly easy to switch it to different vehicles. My only concern is sometimes it can be hard to pull the seat anchors snug enough due to the angle you have to pull the belt.

Quick and easy

May A

Easy to use and easy to install. Had to install in a rush and it was super simple

Love these seats!

Cori M

A great option if you have limited space! Bought two to have one in each car and they fit great, especially with the Graco SlimFit carseats we already had. Easy to install and use, and easy to clean if kiddos make a mess. Would recommend to anyone with multiple kids!

Best seat EVER

Steph319531

Easy to install, was delivered quickly, my little one loves his new seat! Easy to take apart to clean! We can't wait to use this seat for all the years to come, We are a Graco family!!

Awesome buy

1973

Love this car seat for my grandchildren. Just bought my second one.

As described!

TERTOM

We have this car seat and a more expensive brand name one. This is just as good. Save yourself your dollars and be practical

The best there is!

StoneGirls3

I love everything about this car seat. Easy install, two cup holders, and plenty of room for my chunky girl!

My baby loves it!

Luciana

Looks super nice and most important, my 8 months old loves it! Just buy it !!

Recommended especially with more than one car seat

I loved the fact that I can have two car seats next to each other and still have enough space for a third person. I am always very picky with what I buy for my kid’s but I think I made a great choice. No issues for now. My husband just had a little of a rough time installing it though it seems very sturdy and safe. Love the cushion and is very comfortable.

Cool seat for a cool kid

adventureswithauntb

Perfect for my new little nephew! Fits great in my ford focus, a safe, snug fit for the coolest baby dude. All of the customizations are awesome! Mom approves of it so she knows he is safe when he rides with me. I got it at a great price, too, even with express shipping. Excited to see him grow and always be safe when he comes over to aunty's.

Very happy

MitchR0

Easy to install and easy to use. We've used it rear facing and forward facing. It's been great

Not bad for small cars.

Girl Mom1

This is perfect for my tiny car. I actually have space for other people to ride with us, unlike the baby carrier car seat. Baby loves riding in this carseat.

Bought this car seat for my new grandson It is so sturdy and he fits in it “snug as big” with room to grow.

Love this car seat! It’s easy to install and use. We also have an Evenflo seat and it sucks compared to our Graco.

Super convenient to install and grow with. Love that it has so many different positions to work with different vehicles.

Great design

Love the slimmer design. Great for my husband's Escape.

Slim fit

Grami123

Easy to adjust straps for perfect fit, chest strap buckles and unbuckles easy (my grandson cannot get it undone, so thats good). Its easy to install in the car. Love that it fits in one seat area, does not spread to the seat next to it.

Great overall car seat.

Dori

I will definitely be buying again when my little ones grows out of their infant car seat. Easy install, easy to unbuckle and adjust. My Toddler thinks it’s very comfortable. I wish shipping was a little faster but I understand it’s out of their control.

Great seat!

Mandapanda

My 8 month old fits comfortably rear facing. The features are unbelievable and I love that it grows with him

Great seat and space saver. Really helps fitting 3 across.

Great seat!

AmandaBitters

Love it! Super easy to install and fits perfectly in our van. The color scheme is great and this worked as a perfect transition seat for my daughter.

Buy it! You won't regret.

Nikki123

Perfect car seat. Comfortable and fits really well in my car.

Slimfit carseat

MaMi of 4

Its nice comfortable i love the way it reclines and has different settings to grow into the carseat… I rate it a 4 star because i have a 2011 chevy traverse and the leg room for the passenger side is wicked tight…but overall carseat is worth the money plus i love the color i got it in purple.

Slim all in one car seat

Kruncle

Great design slim fit you won’t go wrong with this design

Best carseat ever!

SSmith123

This car seat is wonderful! My husband is able to still drive with this carseat behind his. My little loves it! He is able to move his arms and legs more than in the infant carrier! Definitely recommend.

Good seat. Better than the TriRide.

MinnesotaMom

Love the size. Love the easy to slide buckle. Love that the cupholders swivel.

Great buy!

Laura Beth

Fits great in vehicle. Easy to install. Our little one is very tall for his age, still rear facing, and seems very comfortable being in his new seat. Very well made car seat. Will be purchasing again when we have more little ones.

Size

Christina5420

Love the overall functionality of the car seat. My only complaint is finding a rear facing carseat that fits in a Hyundai Elantra. I hug the steering wheel or my passenger hugs the dash. However I will never buy anything other than Graco brand!

Buckles are too short!

Mama Ryan

A reliable, good-looking and safe carseat. The only minus - and it's a big one - is that the straps/buckles that tie into a car's built-in anchors are too short. Transferring the car seats from car to car was such a headache. Each time, we had to wrestle with the too short belts. It should be a system that provides adequate strap length for any car and which can be tightened if necessary.

Great affordable slim car seat!

Kristi91

Definitely a slim fit car seat! I love that the cup holders lock in/out of place for use! It fits well in my husbands truck and isn’t as bulky as the others.

Peaceful Rides

ShaeCas

I love this car seat. Compared to the previous car seat we used, it is much easier to tighten the straps. It is also much more comfortable for our baby who is able to sit up a little more than she would in her old car seat. Our baby also loves being able to see more than just the sky. Overall our trips in the car have become a little more peaceful with this car seat. Thanks to you Graco.

For sure a favorite!

Kellye D

This car seat is my absolute favorite! We have had many car seats between both our kids, and this one is so sleek and comfortable for the kids. They have room to grow with it! And it has cup holders that you can swivel in ans out to save space!

Ready to go out of the box

Rolcat

The seat was mostly assembled when it arrived and all I had to do was fit the straps to my grandson.

reliable and practical

SofiaK

It is a great combination of comfort, safety and convenience. It gas a slim design that saves space in the car without sacrificing comfort for the child. The seat feels sturdy and well-made, the padding is soft, and the adjustable headrest makes it easy to grow with your child.

Comfy, compact

PaigeV

With three kids, I wanted a compact and safe car seat I could trust. My kids love them and they say this is the comfiest seat we have for them compared to grandparents seats

Safe and comfortable

Yinery G

The best investment for my baby's safety! This Graco chair gives me a lot of peace of mind because of its reinforced structure and how robust it feels. The harness system is very easy to adjust and level indicators help you make sure it was perfectly installed. It feels of a higher quality and my son is very protected. Totally recommended!

jaclyna20_4053

We have two of these and will buy another for our littlest after she outgrows her newborn car seat. It’s so easy to use with clear directions on how to install. I love that it grows with your child so you don’t have to continue to buy seats.

Great safe kids car seat

andrewz21_8532

I have this car seat for my kids and we love it. It’s comfortable for them. It has so many straps and positions to be in my kids have a ton of legroom and they always feel safe and secure in it

Allows older children to be rear faced --highly re

houseofem_9786

I purchased two of these for my twins for when their godfather needs to transport them to daycare for me. I would say that they are very good value for the money. I believe we got them on sale at Target. They go up to 100 lb and allow me to rear face my two four year olds comfortably in the back of their godfather's Volkswagen golf. This is a big deal for me as children are safer generally when they are rear-faced and many car seat manufacturers for parents to front face kids after a certain weight range. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a safe budget car seat that grows with your child.

Toddler approved

cindyrella2001_1169

Perfect for a small Honda civic both rear and forward.. baby seems comfortable since first day.. easy to install and clean.. grows with my child..

So comfortable and cheap

natiak26_9845

I use this carseat for my kids. It is so comfortable and durable. You were able to easily put your kids there. My child sits inside by himself without my help.It is so comfortable because kids can put bottle and juice in cup holder.

Very good product

angelinap103

Great car seat and because it's so slim you can fit three across!! It's also easily washable and very comfortable! My son loves it and it will grow with him till the end where he won't be needing it anymore!

Small car!

kaclenh

I have Volkswagen Taos so finding a car seat that would fit was a little tricky but this one has been perfect and my LO seems comfy she's usually a sleep in minutes!

Easiest car installation ever

lexip87

I really love this car seat. I did a lot of research and looked at a lot of reviews before finally purchasing this one and it did not let me down. Even though it says slimfit it is still a pretty large car seat. I have a Ford escape and rear facing its a bit of a squeeze but it still fits. It's sooo easily adjustable that it makes me mad that my other car seat was so hard. No undoing the straps in the ba k to move them up, just click a button and adjust the headrest to move them to your child's height. Also easiest installation of a car seat in my 10 years of parenting hands down.

Comfy but big for travel

sherbanom

Good for travel but honestly it's big... it's so difficult to take with you because despite being light weight it's still big so hard to take in and out at security checks with a toddler and also then put in the plane. Yes, I used it a lot during my vacation and yes it's the comfiest out of all the car seats but probability is an issue

Best convertible carconvertible car seat

mariba

I currently use this car seat for my 3yo. It’s a bit on the heavy side but I like it braces I can’t stop have him rear facing. I think he’ll be able to reach the age of 4 rear facing and I’m really happy about that. It’s very compact.

Washes up great

Wonderful car seat!

So easy to install and adjust to our baby. Literally took me 5 minutes from unboxing to the perfect fit!

Great seat, needed help to stablize

NCTM

Great car seat size for my second row bucket seats. It is relatively easy to attach to the seat. However, it is difficult to get the seat stable. It requires a lot of downward pressure to have a stable fit. I am a grandparent and needed help anchoring the seat.

Great Carseat!

Jake N

Great Carseat! We love the accesability of it as well as all the features it comes with. It is easy to use and our child grows into it so it will last us!

Perfect Fit

Joe Scungilli

Excellent fit for the car. Highly recommend for someone who has a sedan and needs to fit two of them in the back seat with room to spare.

Works for me

What I wanted, lighter than expected. Not super slim but better than some other options.

I like the car seat easy install great quality also little cheaper then some other brands but just as good if not better because has all the same features but scores better when safety tested, the double cup holders my boys both like also…

Easy installation.

Easy to install and easy to adjust. My son preferred this to the infant car seat.

Great quality

linds3333

Great quality product and well worth the price. Love that it is a car seat that can grow with my child and keep him rear-facing for as long as possible for increased safety.

Nice seat

ajc123

We really loved trying the new Slim Fit car seat. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing it to us. The install was easy and we liked that it is slim and small enough that in our small car we didn’t feel cramped. We are currently still using the rear facing and it has been really easy for our daughter to get in and out of! She likes the cozy headrests and is enjoying using it as well. If you have a smaller car, this may be the seat for you and your family - it is for us! We are looking forward to using it for many years to come.

Graco SlimFit 3 in 1 Car Seat Review

Nash

I was given a Graco SlimFit 3 in 1 car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. There are so many car seats on the market to choose from, but this seat has many features that set it apart from the rest. It has a modern design and fits easily in vehicles that don't have very a lot of space. It is versatile being that it can be used front or rear facing (I have only used rear facing feature). The headrest can also be raised so it grows with your child. You can install the seat using the anchor bars in your car or the seatbelt, which makes it easy to transfer to and from other vehicles if need be. I like how the seat flap flips upward so you can see what you’re doing when putting the seatbelt through instead of trying to fish it through small holes in each side. The car seat also has a lot of padding inserts in it (which are machine washable and can be removed if desired) providing comfort along with extra safety if an accident should occur. My child has reflux issues so one of my favorite features is that you can adjust the recline angle to suit your child’s comfort. Overall, this car seat has many features that make it a great option for your child, especially if you don’t have a very spacious vehicle. Most importantly this seat meets all of the safety standards so you can rest assured that your child will be protected should any accidents occur. Thanks again to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

Great for smaller sedans durable comfy for babe

Jmaeng90

My first impression right out of the box was how it wasn’t short on looks, this is a very chic looking car seat, if there is such a thing. Sturdy and durable. This seat is exactly what the doctor ordered for our baby inside our Audi sedan!!! Really easy to install and a definite space saver. I love how versatile it is. There are many adjustment levels according to weight and height which is my favorite part — this is such a good investment for a growing kid. Love the padding. All in all, this is a good looking, ridiculously functional, hardy option for a car seat — really grateful to have this. I could easily see us purchasing this a second time if another baby was in the picture! I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Backseat Game Changer

NatalieK

I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I’ve been so impressed with it from the moment I unboxed it. The Slim Fit 3-in-1 Car Seat truly lives up to its name—it’s sleek, compact, and fits perfectly in my backseat alongside another car seat, giving us much-needed space in an otherwise tight area. I tested it out with both of my kids (ages 2 and 4), and they both immediately declared it their new favorite seat—so much so that they actually argued over who would get to sit in it! They each commented on how comfortable it was, which speaks volumes since they’ve had their share of car seat experiences. The modern, streamlined design is not only visually appealing, but also incredibly practical. Compared to bulkier models we’ve used in the past, this one gives the backseat a cleaner, more organized feel. I also appreciated how intuitive the installation process was. Adjusting the harness and headrest for a proper fit was simple, and I love that this seat will grow with my kids thanks to its three-in-one functionality. What stood out most for me were the thoughtful features: a smooth harness adjustment, well-placed cup holders, and a frame that feels secure and sturdy without being oversized. Overall, I’m genuinely impressed by the functionality, fit, and comfort of this car seat—it’s made our daily routine smoother and our car rides more enjoyable. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing us to try out this fantastic product!

I will never buy another

SBliss6

This car seat is an absolute MUST if you have more than one child. We now have 4 of these car seats and honestly, the slim design is essential to make our smaller SUVs as space efficient as possible. The rotating cup holder helps preserve room. Installation was a breeze. My kids sleep easily in these seats so the slim design doesn’t sacrifice comfort. We plan on using these rear facing as long as possible, then forward facing. This seat will last us several years. Additionally — the seat fabric comes off easily to wash. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

We LOVE this seat

SCSteph

We received this car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and were immediately obsessed. We had a different car seat for our older two children, but after trying the SlimFit 3-in-1 seat, we purchased two more for our other children. We love that it offers rear facing, forward facing, and booster options, it really grows with your child and works through every stage of car seat safety! It’s comfortable for all three kids of varying ages (infant, 2yo, 4yo) and the sleek design fits all three seats comfortably in our SUV. Our kids are comfortable and secure on long road trips and we honestly couldn’t ask for anything better.

Beautiful, sturdy, not bulky. A must buy for sure!

Anabel0807

I love this carseat. I bought one 6 years ago when I had my son and got it again now for my daughter. It does not take too much of the space from the back row and at the same time my kids seemed to enjoyed it a lot. It is very sturdy, of course and gives you piece of mind because you know your little one is protected. As a plus, the one I got now comes with the cushion in purple, which is such a nice color.

Comfortable and sleek

Bbridwell

My daughter looks very comfortable in this seat which was very important to me.

So great!

Emalee M

Love it! We have a Honda CRV and it fits so slim! Honestly it takes up less space width wise than his infant car seat! So worth it. The cup holders have 2 positions where you can like collapse it for an even slimmer fit, or use them for your infants cups. My baby loves this car seat!

Awesome Car Seat

klo25

The Graco SlimFit 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat is such an awesome car seat! I have three kids, two of whom are still in car seats, and this one has been a game-changer. The slim design is perfect for my small sedan and makes it so much easier to fit everything (and everyone!) in comfortably. Installation was a breeze, and I love how easy it is to buckle and adjust the straps. The fabric is super soft and breathable…a must in this Texas heat! The padding is fantastic too, and I love how safe and comfy my toddler looks riding in it. One of my absolute favorite features is the rotating cup holders. It sounds small, but it really makes a difference when placing two car seats next to each other, it gives us that little extra space we need. If you’re looking for a safe, stylish, and space-saving car seat that grows with your child, the SlimFit 3-in-1 is it! I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel

Comfortable car seat that grows with your child

KPotts

We have been fans of this car seat now for years and love it so much we have two! The newer version has upgraded padding on the sides, with the same great features as before such as collapsing cupholders and so many adjustable settings. I also love the additional seat insert padding for tiny kids. My kids love the cupholders! We don’t collapse them much because of that, but it’s nice to have the option. We could never go back to a seat without two cupholders. We have a small car and two young kids so the slim design is perfect for space saving. The latch system is super easy to install and pretty quick to switch from rear to forward facing settings. Adjusting this seat into a booster is even easier and can literally be done with one hand. This seat is not lightweight, but it’s sturdy and very durable. We’ve used this seat since my oldest was one, and even now that he’s four, he fits great and will continue to be able to use this seat for another few years even! Thanks for Stellar Testing Panel for this product so my second child can also enjoy the same car seat for years to come.

Great car seat to grow

Kristen

This is our second of these car seats! We received this one free through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but purchased the first on our own 2 years ago. The first is still in use, now as a forward facing seat and we will soon transition it to a booster. We’re using the new one rear facing for the 2.5 year old. Both kids love the seat! It’s more spacious for my 2.5 year old than the higher end convertible we moved from. Our 5 year old also sits very comfortably in his. I definitely notice upgrades since the prior version, primarily in fabric quality and ease of reattaching fabric after a wash. The install is easy and quick both forward and rear facing. We moved these around fairly often to clean under and the reinstallation is fast. I really like the

Safe comfy compact and aesthetically pleasing

MamaOf8

This SlimFit car seat is built with safety and comfort in mind while also being aesthetically pleasing and compact which is a huge bonus for large families. Its slim design makes it possible for us to fit 3 across. We have young children, and all, but one, are in either an infant, convertible or booster seat so being slim is very important for us. As far as aesthetics, its modern, sleek design makes this car seat look as good as its functionality and safety. One example of good functionality is its rotating cup holders to save space. As for safety, it is said to withstand any possible accident with its reinforced steel. It just looks and feels good all around, and the color scheme I received is gender neutral so that’s a plus. Installation, we heard a click to know we were all set, and adjusting the seat for the child I’m currently using it for was super simple too. I would say both took no more than 5 minutes. Being that we have many young children this seat will definitely get used in various stages till it expires which is 10 years from the manufacturer date. I appreciate the fact that it is safe for children from 5 pounds to 100 pounds and for rear and forward-facing positions plus it turns into a high-back booster. I love how easy they made it to adjust the headrest and threading too! Thanks Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing my family with this amazing car seat.

Great Convertible Car Seat for Compact Car

melitajunia94

I have a compact sedan (Mazda 3), so I need a car seat that's compact and doesn't take up too much space. The Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 claims to be 10% slimmer and more compact than regular car seats. The one I have is in the Jarret color, which has a modern look with good-quality fabric. The installation instructions are clear and easy to follow. It took me less than 10 minutes to properly install the car seat. The red/green indicator makes it easy to know when it's locked in place properly. This car seat has a 4-position recline, with 2 positions for rear-facing and 2 positions for forward-facing. There's an indicator for the safe recline position, and it's easy to change the recliner position with just one hand. It also has 10 headrest positions to accommodate children's height as they grow. It's easy to tighten or loosen the straps and harness as the child will continuously grow. The Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 is relatively lightweight (around 19lb) compared to my daughter's previous car seat (32lb). I can easily carry and move it to different cars. It's a bit heavy but still manageable to carry with a car seat travel backpack during traveling or lugging it through the airport. I tested carrying this using a car seat travel backpack for 2 miles of walking. When the car seat is in the forward-facing position, there's still plenty of space. However, when I set the car seat to the rear-facing position, I need to push the front seat pretty far forward to get it properly placed. Luckily, I'm still able to sit comfortably (I'm 5'3") while the car seat is in the rear-facing position. Unfortunately, my husband (5'9") can't drive and sit properly because he can't move the seat back enough to accommodate his legs. There's still space in the middle of the seat if I install 2 car seats. It's enough for a teenager to sit or place my bags or groceries. The cover is easy to take off and is washable. My daughter often vomits in the car due to motion sickness, so a fully removable and washable car seat is a must for me to keep the car seat looking new and clean. The Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 has an innovative cupholder design. The unused cupholder can be rotated away to save space. I kind of wish it was fully removable so I could thoroughly clean the cupholder because my daughter loves snacking and makes a mess in her car seat. The Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 is a convertible car seat, and it's a game-changer for me so that I don't have to buy multiple car seats. This car seat grows with my baby, so my daughter will be in this car seat for several years. It can be used rear-facing up to 40lb, forward-facing 26.5-65lb, and as a booster 40-100lb. Overall rating: 4.5/5 star I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Perfect carseat

Svillory

I was lucky enough to receive this carseat as part of the stellar product testing panel right when my daughter was getting too big for her infant seat (she will be 2 soon she's just small). Some things I love about it: it has pretty small profile which works out well since I have to fit 3 kids in my tiny back seat. I am using it rearranging at the moment and love that I can swivel the cup holders in to save some space so I don't have to hear about her cup holders from the other kiddos. Most importantly I love that I don't have to completely reeout the straps to adjust when she grows-- it's got the type of headrest where u can move the straps and headrest by squeezing the top and I couldn't be happier with that. As far as comfort goes my little girl adores it I has to take it out to get my car detailed and she was sitting in it inside the house. The cons: I suppose it could be slightly narrower, I does wncroach on the seatbelts next to it a little but honestly that may be just a my car issue I drive a challenger it wasn't exactly meant to be a mom car. I also haven't tried taking the cover off for cleaning but honestly I do that very rarely anyway it seems pointless at this phase in her life. I think it will be even better when she's orward facing because themln I can really open up the cup holders and take advantage of that aspect. As it stands it's one of the best carseats we've owned, was easy to install and remove when needed, and my kid loves it.

Nice slim car seat for a small SUV

StacyMc

I got to test out this car seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, I liked the size of the car seat. It did save us a few inches of space between the car seat and the 2 boosters he have crammed in the back of a small SUV. It gave the middle kid a better ride, as the car seat wasn't encroaching on their space. As for is modern design, I'm not sure how new or different it really is. The compact size and non-bulky headrest or cup holders was definitely new. Which was useful for those of us who don't have minivans and are at full capacity for the car. The install was pretty standard, nothing crazy. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the anchor strap is locked under a red bar, while that keeps it from coming loose, it also kept me from being able to flip the strap the other way so I could tighten it easily from the outside. Having to crawl into the car to tighten it from the inside, between the car seat and the booster next to it, was not the most fun I've ever had. Also, the release buttons on the anchor strap were quite difficult to push down. I have issues with my hands and had to use both hands to press down to get them unhooked. Knowing I won't have to adjust much to move to the booster function will be super helpful. After how hard I had to push on the anchor buckles I was very surprised how easy it was to undo the chest clip. The folding cup holders are great because they hold a real sized cup unlike a lot of car seats, and being able to fold them away makes leaning in to grab something much easier. Overall, a solid choice for a car seat when you don't have the space for a bulky one.

Awesome car seat

mother

Thanks to the Stellar Panel for sending me this car seat to review! We were previously using a larger 3-in-1 car seat, but it was big, clunky, and took a ton of space. It was hard for the Grandmas to lift. This Slimfit model feels way lighter & more compact, but my little guy still has plenty of space in the car seat. He said it’s “comfy” the padding is nice and plush. We like the all black and especially the rotating cup holders! It fits easily on our seat without hanging over the edge at all. Super easy to install, the lightness made it even better easier to maneuver and position. This will make car seat swaps from car to car faster and easier, 100%! I especially like the middle buckle is easily slid between 3 different positions to accommodate the size of your child. This was something I always struggled with moving on our other car seat, and it only offered 2 positions. Overall, this lightweight, space saving, sleek & stylish, easy to use car seat has been a win for us! Thank you Stellar Panel for the opportunity to try it out.

Excellent choice

Dana

I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Panel. I have two under two so I was excited to try this out as my youngest is still in a newborn carrier. I put my one and a half year old in the seat to see her thoughts compared to her current convertible seat. Her seat has a lot of cushion, and I would say this Graco seat supplied the same comfort for $100 LESS than I paid for her other seat! I love that the Graco truly is a slim fit, but still has lots of room for your toddler to comfortably move their legs as they often do. My absolute favorite feature was the cup holders! My other seat you have to completely remove them, but on this seat you literally just pop it out with one rotation. This was a game changer because I don’t have to keep up with an accessory when not in use! The infant cushions were super easy to take in and out. I actually loved how that part was designed because it felt like it was innovative. Overall I am super impressed. The chest clip was harder to unclip than most seats but this is actually a pro instead of a con as it feels safer. The only thing I would change is the shoulder strap cushions as they were a little wide and bulky. Adjusting it to fit my toddler vs my two month old was a little tricky. I would suggest taking time to read the instructions carefully beforehand so you can speed this up. This seat has made such a difference in space saving overall. The material is also much better than my luxury car seat because it stays dry and cool in the humidity. I’d love to see it in more neutral tones like tan/camel or beige! This seat is a no-brainer when it comes to value, safety, and comfort!

Easy to use, comfortable, light but safe

mabma

We purchased and had this seat shipped to my parents for a visit home with our daughter when she was just over a year old, and I was so happy with it I ordered one for my vehicle when we returned home. Going on two years now and the seat has held up great. I love how easy it is to move and adjust. My daughter (now 4) prefers this over her Britax. Yes, my daughter went through a phase where she would undo the chest clip, but after putting a zip up hoodie over the straps she stopped. It washes well and is easy to clean. My only suggestion would be to make the cupholders fully removable.

Saved my sons life

KModd

We were involved in a 3 car wreck. We were stopped in traffic and rammed at full speed by a 15 passenger van, a school bus and a car. My 2 year old son was untouched and walked away without any injuries. Thank you, Graco for giving us an amazing car seat that saved our sweet boy!

Small hands

BOB1955

2020 Chev Impala, full size rear sear. Perfect size, and growth potential. But you need extremely small hands or 2 people to pull car seat belt through. I am small, and my hands got stuck inside, skinning wrists to struggle to remove my hand(s). Must have been designed in Asia.

not slim at all

moochie

the seat is not as slim as listed . its not as wide but doesnt fit lengthwise.. in order to get the right settings for rear faceing you must have alot of cabin room in the back seat .. i have a chevy cruze and its tight in the back unless you move the seat in an unconfortable position.. its a good thing the front is rated for 22lbs min that way if your child meets the 22lbs and or 49inchs you can just filp it and it and then the child and what ever seat you put it behind are confortable ..

My toddler loves this seat!

A few months ago we got this seat for my toddler who is picky about his car seat comfort. So far we have had zero complaints and I notice him napping in the car again! We are expecting a second baby and got a graco infant seat because we have had the best experience with graco products.

Easy Installation!!

Seco

We bought this for our growing baby and it was so easy and quick to install! It makes changing positions super easy and baby loves the comfort of his seat! I highly recommend this product!!

Very Easy to install

CRich

I bought this because my son was getting to heavy for the infant seat. I’m so happy with my purchase. Works great with my small car, also still able to fit a booster seat on one side and an older child on the other side. Would definitely recommend if you have a smaller car and more than one child that needs to sit in backseat.

Great Seat

TayG

This seat is great, I have purchased 2 for our vehicles. The only issue I have had is the safety tags fading after washing which Graco has been really helpful with resolving the issue.

2 of these fit in my Chevy Cruze

Mommyof2under3

We bought our first one 1.5 years ago for my Chevy Cruze. This slim fit fits perfectly within my car. Now my youngest just outgrew her car seat carrier at only 9 months old! So we got a second slim fit for my car. The flexibility and adjustability of this car seat we love. We also have a Graco 4everFit and it just is too bulky for my car.

Great versatile car seat

For the price tag, you can't beat the SlimFit® 3-in-1 Car Seat! It grows with your child. It is a sturdy car seat. Its slim design makes it sleek by not adding all that bulkiness to the backseat of the car. We have two car seats in the back of our car, and the inch or two makes all the difference in the comfort of the person in the middle of the car seats. The less bulkiness of it makes it look more modern. Since it's usually not as bulky as other car seats, it is easier to move around and install. The install was easy with the latch system. Getting him fitted correctly in the seat was easy too with the no rethread harness. It makes it so quick and simple to find the correct position of the straps. My two and a half year old is pictured in the photos, and he has plenty of room to grow into it. I love that you can just buy this from birth and continue to use it until they no longer need a car seat. There is no need to spend more money switching out to different car seats. The rear facing 4 position recline would have been very handy if we had gotten it when he was a baby. As mentioned previously, we do have two children and wish we had another Slimfit as our other car seat. Our older car seat now seems so bulky compared to the Slimfit. Overall, I am very happy with the SlimFit® 3-in-1 Car Seat. You definitely get a good bang for your buck with it! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

Perfect Fit for Our Family Car

Spalt

I really like this car seat. It feels sturdy and well-made, and our kid seems super comfortable in it. It doesn’t take up a ton of room in the back seat, which is great, but it still feels roomy enough for them to sit comfortably. The two cup holders are a nice touch—you can tuck them in when you don’t need them, which helps save space. The design is simple and modern, which I appreciate. The headrest adjusts really easily without needing to rethread anything, and the black color looks clean and goes well with our car’s interior. Installing it was honestly a breeze. I really liked that there are clear indicators to let you know if it’s secured correctly—made me feel a lot more confident. Right now we’re using it rear-facing, but it looks like switching to forward-facing down the line will be pretty straightforward. Thank you for the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this product to test and review! One thing I really love is how lightweight it is. We’ve had to move it between cars a few times, and it’s so much easier than our old one. Buckling our kid in is quick and simple too. We have a Toyota RAV4 and ended up putting the seat behind the passenger seat—it was a little tricky to reach the buckle when we tried the middle seat, and behind the driver didn’t leave quite enough room. Overall, I’m super happy with it. It’s easy to install, comfy, and feels like it’ll grow with our child for years.

A Slim Car Seat That Truly Fits

Superk530

As a mom of three, finding a car seat that fits comfortably in our Acura without sacrificing space for the rest of the family felt impossible—until I tried the SlimFit 3-in-1 Car Seat. This seat is a total game-changer! It lives up to its name: slim fit. I was able to install it with ease, and it left so much more room in the back seat, which is huge for us since we often have to fit all three kids or an extra adult back there. It feels sturdy, safe, and well-padded without being bulky. I especially love that it grows with your child, so I’m not constantly buying new seats. Con: The only downside I noticed is that the cup holders, while convenient, stick out a bit and can make buckling another seat right next to it a little tight—but definitely still manageable with the extra space we gained overall. Big thank you to Stella products testing panel for letting me test this out—it’s made our rides smoother, roomier, and way less stressful!

Ideal Car Seat for Both My Toddler and Infant

Julia

As a mom of two little ones—a busy toddler and infant —finding a car seat that checks all the boxes has been harder than I expected. Most seats either feel bulky, awkward to install, or take up so much room that fitting both kids in the back becomes a real challenge. With the Graco slim 3-in-1 car seat, it’s been a complete upgrade for our rides. The space-saving design is everything. I drive a compact SUV and was constantly stressing over how cramped the back seat felt with two car seats and the grocery, diaper bag, toys, etc. This seat actually gives us room to breathe! The rotating cup holders are such a smart touch—when I first saw them, I wasn’t sure it would make a difference, but they really do help slim things down without sacrificing function. My toddler loves having his drink right next to him, and I love being able to move things around for more space. There’s plenty of legroom for my active kid, which has been a relief—no more kicking the seat in front of him or twisting uncomfortably on longer rides. The seat itself looks and feels super sleek, but more importantly, it’s sturdy and safe. The steel-reinforced frame gave me real peace of mind, especially since we plan to use this for years as it grows with both of my kids. Installation was actually way easier than I expected—LATCH with the audible click is a big confidence boost for us tired parents who second-guess everything! Overall, this car seat just feels thoughtfully designed for families. It’s safe, looks great, saves space, and makes everyday routines just a little bit easier. Highly recommend, especially if you’re working with a smaller vehicle or want something that truly grows with your child without taking over your entire back seat. I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Slim Car Seat

Emsjohnson

I was give this car seat as part of the Stellar Product testing Panel and it could not have come at a better time. We just had our 5th baby and we have three in car seats. This car seat was the perfect fit to add to our mini van and still have a little room left over. It’s a very nice looking car seat and I love how easy and functional it is to use. It’s so easy to hook up. We have it forward facing and didn’t have any problems installing it. I love how easy it is to adjust to my child the on handed adjust is so nice. It took no time at all to get a proper fit for my 2 year old. The slim design is so much less bulky and fits so easy in the car. The cup holders are nice because you can open them up if you have room or they kind of fold into themselves if you need more space. I do have to say that though it is slim it is still pretty heavy. It’s still not a car seat I would love to haul through an airport but for a stationary car seat that I don’t plan on moving it is perfect. That’s why the 4 stars. I just wish it was a little lighter. Over all it is a sleek, nice looking, easy car seat that I would recommend.

So nice

Gigi

We have two small kiddos, a dog, and need to travel with sooooooooooo much stuff. Our vehicles are on the smaller side and when you have to fit everyone’s things, a pack&play, two car seats, a large dog, and two adults into the car, the space dwindles quickly (iykyk). So anything that saves space is a lifesaver. The slim design definitely helps with that. Because it isn’t too wide, we are able to utilize the middle seat for cargo which is super helpful. We have used it forward facing with our 4 yo (45lb) and rear facing our 1.5 yo (22lb). Love the versatility and that it is comfy and usable for both kiddos. Install is super user friendly which is a huge plus. The design is modern and sleek, and the material feels and looks high end. My favorite features are the ease of install and slim design. My kiddos love the cup holders! They never go empty on our watch and honestly, you can never have too many cup holders. I do love that they fold in if you need to save more space. The versatility is really handy. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending this one our way. We are putting it to good use!

Slim and Comfy Car seat

Mommyfour

I was really impressed the moment I took out the slim fit 3 in 1 car seat out of the box, it was very light and the padding was very comfortable. I love how compact & slim it is, with my precious car seat, my kids didn’t have much space and struggled to buckle up. I feel like my car even looks more spacious and organized. It’s a win for everyone. The dark color is stylish and also great to hide any stains from the dirty little fingers that will get on it. The best part was how fast and easy the installation part was. This will help so much when transferring the car seat to dad’s or grandma’s car. Adjusting the harness and headrest to fit my toddler properly was just so simple. The adjustable cup holders were great. It was also wide enough to fit her cup. We are so excited to keep using this car seat as she grows. I’m sure car rides will be more enjoyable for all the kids now not just the baby. She enjoys some comfy naps in there as well with no fussing. This car seat checked all the boxes for us. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending us this great car seat. We will continue enjoying it.

Three kids across approved

Momof3

When we first took the slim fit 3 in 1 out of the box we noticed how comfortable the padding and material was. It installed easily into our car with the latch system. We have had a hard time tightening the strap in other models but this one was quite smooth. We currently have 3 kids across in the backseat. One rear facing child who is 1 and used this seat. We also have a high back booster using kiddo and a big kid who sits inbetween them. He noted right away how he had more room and it was easier for him to buckle. We can tell that when we turn the seat forward he will also have much more space than with our previous seat. The adjustable cup holders are a convenient feature. They are very low profile compared to most other models but still give the toddler the option to have her drink or snacks within reach. We are excited to use this seat for years to come. The only con we would say is that when in the high back booster phase this seat is much heavier than a typical booster seat because it has the latch system for infant/toddler use, so we likely wouldn’t choose it for moving from car to car but rather keep it as a permanent booster seat in the main car. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending us this seat. We are enjoying it!

Perfect Car seat for Grandma

Gaga B

I am a grandma and purchased this car seat to be able to transport my grandchild as needed. It is extremely easy to install and remove from my vehicle. My grandchild seems to be very comfortable in the seat and I have no safety concerns.

Very good

ThaisM

Excellent to use in the city, not so great for long travels. Doesn’t recline enough.

Just what I expected.

brija

Love this carseat — secure, narrow, sturdy, extra padding

Your car seat search has ended!

Renee K1

We now have 4 of these in varying family member vehicles and they are amazing. So easy to install, so easy to buckle and unbuckle, and the space saver cup holders are a great added feature. We have another car seat from a different brand that is AWFUL. We will be purchasing one more of these! Buy it now :)

Grandma's safe ride

Grandma of 3

Looks really comfy for my little grandson and hope it lasts until he no longer needs a carseat. It goes perfectly with his bigger brother's carseat.

Perfect fit

Happymama123

Love this carseat! It was easy to install and fit perfectly in my backseat. My toddler was super happy to transition to this seat and I am thankful that it will grow with him.

Mom of 4

Blessed Mom4life

Perfect. Exactly what I wanted. With 4 kids . Two in car seats 2 in boosters. The slim fit is perfect. Would like to have another one.

Dangerous seat

Msbb

I wish I could get a return box and a refund for this seat, WARNING your baby’s head may slump and get stuck between the seat and actual head rest!! My seat is fitted on the proper recline graco recommends inserts removed as required and straps coming below the shoulders and my poor son was asleep and was SCREAMING when he woke up I looked back and his head was stuck between the head rest and the seat. Also you can’t change the recline level without uninstalling the seat which is very inconvenient. Will be uninstalling the seat and buying a different one although I’ve just bought this a couple weeks ago.

Do not purchase

Kmc88

I’ve had this car seat for almost a year now. My child is now Two. Average size. She is now able to move herself forward while I’m driving and the straps start to loosen up. In the case of an accident, I’m terrified what could happen. Even if I pull the straps as tight has the comfortably go along with rising the middle lock towards her chest it will still loosen when she attempts to move forward. Very upsetting. Such a safety hazard. This should be recalled.

Chest clip too easy to open

CarolS

I purchased this slim fit 3 in 1 for my son who is 2. Liked how it is less bulky but also seems safe with added padding for side impact. I was very disappointed when my son started undoing the chest clip and then pulling his arms out while I was driving! I had to return it to Target because it wasn't safe for him. I also emailed Graco customer service and they told me to try and train my son not to open the chest clip. Not helpful as other parents have complained about the very same issue and I feel it should be recalled and redesigned.

Safety Hazard

Madmom88

I bought this seat a little over two years ago and was happy until recently. My two year old leans forward and the straps loosen where he can escape. The strap do not lock in place it just a small amount of resistance they loosen. In the event of an accident my child would have been thrown from the vehicle! We’ve had to replace the seat because it’s such a hazard. Is there a recall on any of the parts?!?

Toddler Can Unbuckle

JordanE

I chose this car seat for its slim design. However, my 2 year old learned on the FIRST day we put him in how to unlatch the top buckle. He unbuckles it every car ride. It is unsettling to drive knowing that he is able to unbuckle, and consequently take his arms out from under the shoulder straps. Disappointed this doesn't have a better, more secure design.

Seat Great, Instructions Very Lacking

Papa Installer

With 3 grandkids under the age of 4 we now have 3 of these SlimFit seats in the family. While the seats are great serving their purpose, every time we need to install one frustration soars because of a major omission in the Instruction Manual. Specifically, the section 4-B Install Forward Facing With LATCH. Step 3 tells you where to locate and remove the Lower Anchor connectors and Tether. But there is no further mention of how you get on to Step 6 for threading the Anchor Connectors through the back of the seat to then attach them to the vehicle's lower anchors. HINT: YOIU NEED TO REMOVE MOST OF THE SEAT'S UPHOLSTERY TO THEN SEE A LABEL SHOWING HOW TO THREAD THE ANCHORS THOUGH THE SEAT BACK!! It's as if the designers have never had to install their own product.

OBSTRUCTIVE

Me365

Got this for my 5 year and HATE it with a passion. With the headrest in the fully extended position, backing up is a challenge (and scary) due to it totally blocking the back side window. Once the headrest goes higher then the back of the seat, it's a problem. It's a good car seat EXCEPT for that.

Slim but Comfortable and Convenient

SpaceSaving

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I had the chance to try the SlimFit 3-in-1 Car Seat, and I was genuinely excited to put it to use! As a parent of two little ones under two, I’m constantly juggling car space, safety, and comfort — and this seat has truly been a game changer. Right from installation, I could tell this wasn’t just another bulky car seat. Its slim profile immediately made a difference in our backseat. We can now fit two across with ease, and it’s taken so much stress out of getting everyone in and out of the car. The sleek, modern design is a major upgrade from our previous car seats. It looks clean and minimal, yet still feels incredibly sturdy and secure. I also love how seamlessly it blends into our car’s interior — no more giant, clunky eyesores. Installation was quick and straightforward (huge win for any busy parent), and adjusting the seat to fit our child properly was simple. The harness and recline options made it easy to get the perfect fit without any frustration. I really appreciate that this seat grows with your child — from toddler to booster — saving both money and space in the long run. A few standout features for me: the easily adjustable headrest and the dual cup holders that rotate inward to save even more space. It’s clear that this car seat was designed with real-life parenting in mind. Overall, the SlimFit 3-in-1 strikes a near-perfect balance of function, comfort, and style. I’d absolutely recommend it to any parent looking for a safer, smarter, and more space-efficient car seat.

Solid car seat

PDina

I am currently a mom of two under two so they both sit in a real facing car seat. We have a compact crossover SUV with only one car seat and we have a full SUV with two car seats. We had a used car seat in the compact crossover SUV so it was nice to be given this car seat to try in our crossover as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is a solid car seat. The instructions were easy to understand and I found it easy to install. You can install by using the seat anchors or secure with the car's seat belt. The seat reclines and the headrest is easily adjustable for whichever one of my kids I am driving. The car seat is "slim" but has plenty of room for the kids & enough passenger seat space if I'm in the back with one of them. It also has a couple of cup holders for their drinks. Although, I am not the one sitting in the car seat itself, my kids seem to be comfortable and will often fall asleep during drives. What I like most about the car seat is that it can be transformed to rear or front facing and will grow with them. It's also a booster seat for when they are older! This prevents me from buying multiple car seats as they grow. Overall, it's a solid all-in-one and I'd recommend.

Great Space Saving Car Seat

Kris

I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by how light it is and the size of the car seat. I have 3 children and we needed a car seat that was slim for my husband's truck, this one fit the bill in more than one way. From previous experience I have heard my husband complain about how difficult if was to install the car seat, this one was a breeze and he had zero complaints about it. My child who is using the seat was ecstatic to see that the cup holders turn to become cups and then they can be turned back when you don't need a cup holder. I have been so impressed with how easy it is for my child to get in and out of the car seat, our previous seat was hard for my child to unbuckle on their own. The slim design also allows my other child who sits in the middle to be able to easily buckle themself in without having to try to go behind the car seat. I also love that I can easily take the car seat apart to clean the fabric parts, which is not the case with many other car seats. Overall I am thoroughly impressed with this car seat and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a slim car seat that grows with your child.

Baby on the go

AmyMac

Graco’s SlimFit 3-in-1 Car Seat has made a huge difference when traveling with our toddler. I have used other brands of car seats for both infant and toddlerhood, and this new sleek and compact addition has allowed our family to travel in comfort and provided more space in our sedan. I would highly recommend this model if you are traveling with more than one child as it fits perfectly in the backseat of our sedan along with our other car seat and allows for a little more space in a very crowded area. Another added bonus to this brand is versatility. I absolutely love that I can utilize this safety seat from infancy to early childhood, and it has the capability to transition from a rear facing harness for an infant weighing five pounds to a highback booster to safely fit a 100 pound child. I previously had to purchase an infant seat and then a new toddler seat. This seat also has removable head and body inserts for smaller infants to keep them secure and contained. Inserts can be easily removed and replaced to allow for spot cleaning as needed. In my personal opinion, supporting the growth of your child makes this product well worth the price. Installation was a breeze—everything clicked into place quickly and securely without any hassle. I was also impressed by how easy it was to adjust the straps and headrest to get a perfect fit for my son. He seems comfortable and well-supported, and I feel confident knowing he’s safe and secure. One con I personally experienced is the ease of placing my toddler in a rear facing seat while bending down. However, my child is very active and this could be situational based. I would love if this slim fitting seat could have the option to revolve when placing the child in the safety seat. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

My Favorite Car Seat for so many reasons

Vrex124

We have 3 little munchkins, all in car seats. The Graco Slimfit 3-in-1 car seat has been a much welcomed addition. This car seat is not as wide or as bulky as our previous car seat. So there is no overlapping with the car seat beside it. The car seat comes with clear instructions for which ever install you need to do. I am a big fan of the color coded install instructions on the car seat itself, so you don't have to worry about having the manual with you to install it. The Slimfit 3-in-1 was by far one of the easiest car seats I've installed. In less than 10 minutes I had it belted in, hooked to the latch system, leveled, and ready to take my little munchkins out on the town. The material is very soft, easy to spot clean, and the pudding isn't thin. If you push down on it you don't feel the hard frame of the car seat like you do with some car seats. And our 5 year says it's "super comfy". Car seats are expensive, and I love that the Slimfit 3-in-1 is a grow with your child from birth to 100 lbs. This car seat comes with dual cup holders that are built in, they rotate inward to collapse them. It has been a small time saver for me, because I haven't had to search the backseat to find missing cupholders that have popped off and the kids just tossed down. My biggest love about this Car seat is the harness and headrest adjust with a lever. Cause as a busy momma I don't have time to take the car seat out, make adjustments and reinstall it. And big bonus points for the center buckle, because adjusting it is a breeze. Just pull up on it, turn the strap sideways and put it in the slot you need it. These 2 features have allowed us to Start trying out this car seat with our 18 month old also with ease. With this car seat being slimmer and the features it has, we are looking to add another one when we replace our youngest childs car seat. I would like to Thank Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat.

Perfect for our growing family

Leigha

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat. We’ve been using it for a few days now, and overall, we’re really happy with it. Compared to other slimfit models, it offers noticeably better safety features while still fitting well in our backseat. The seat feels sturdy and secure, and installation was straightforward. My only complaint is the bottom buckle—it sits a bit too far back, so my son ends up almost sitting on it. I wish it were slightly bigger or more adjustable for comfort. Even with that minor issue, I’d definitely recommend this seat for anyone looking for a space-saving option that doesn’t skimp on safety.

Safe and comfortable car seat

gbarons

We have been using the SlimFit 3-in-1 Car Seat for my 21 month old son as a rear-facing seat, and there is so much we love about it! It only took a few minutes to set-up and install, and it was easy for my husband to do alone. Based on how easy the set-up and installation were, I anticipate it will be just as easy to convert to a forward-facing seat when my son is big enough. This car seat accommodates infants as well, and with my second due in October, it’s helpful to know she can also use it, if we need. I have a small SUV, and the backseat is fairly tight. I previously had a very bulky car seat that took up a ton of space. Having the slim fit design has made the backseat much more comfortable when I have friends or family sitting in the back middle seat, without compromising on safety. The cup holders are a must! My previous car seat did not have cup holders, which was a huge pain. My son loves having snacks and water in the car, but he would constantly drop them over the side and then scream because he couldn’t reach. This car seat has 2 cup holders that rotate in and out, so there is plenty of room for snacks, beverages, and small toys. Adjusting the harness tightness is incredibly easy and can even be done with child in-seat. My last one required taking apart the whole car seat to adjust the straps underneath the seat pad, so I am thrilled to have a much more user-friendly harness. The clips are also easy to click and unclick. The seat pad is machine-washable. I can’t believe I was living without this! My toddler dropped raspberries in his car seat, and spot cleaning was a nightmare. Being able to throw the pad in the washing machine and air dry overnight has become a non-negotiable for our family. The only feature I can think of that I wish it had is that I wish it rotated. Totally not a dealbreaker, though, as this car seat really is otherwise perfect, and I see our family using it for many years to come. I highly recommend this carseat for children of all ages, and best to start when the kids are younger to get the most use out of it. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat!

Great chair

The SlimFit 3 is the best chair out there. Easy to set up and has all tje great security features to make a trip safe for your baby

Flexible and comfortable

Ariana9

I recently bought two of these car seats as my son already has one and I bought an extra two for my Car seat rental business . These car seats work wonderfully they're very comfortable they're easy to change depending on the age and size of the child they're very easy to install and I like how they are just slightly slimmer than a general model so it's easier to fit them in more cars. It is a great purchase and I would do it again in the future if I need more car seat seats for my business.

Cool stuff

Fun trips

Easy to install and remove. I feel very safe having my grandson in the seat when driving.

Great features and comfort

JW26

We just switched our son to his first big boy car seat and the Greco turn to me is perfect! It was easy to install, the turning feature is so convenient, and our son looks so comfortable and has way more room compared to the infant bucket car seat he was in. Overall, we are very happy with this car seat.

Baby and mama approved!

Super happy with purchasing this carseat!! Bought for my almost one year old daughter and she seems to really like it. Very cushiony and baby is more comfortable! Only thing I wish is that they had a more girly options but I have grown to like the black and purple. Also super easy to install! Definitely recommend this carseat!

Great for those with multiple kids in car seats

Car seat is perfect for us. We have 3 of them, 2 in my car and 1 in my husband’s truck for our almost 2 yr old and 2 month old. We need something slim as we have 2 rear facing, 1 high back harness booster and another high back booster for our oldest in mid size suv.

THESE CARSEATS ARE AMAZING! WE ALWAYS PURCHASE GRACO

Best car seat mom of 2

Salvarez96

I have owned a graco slim fit since my oldest was 2. He is almost 8 and has been in the same car seat from rear facing until 4yrs old to forward facing in harness mode and now we switched him to High Back Booster mode. And through all these years this car seat has cleaned up so well. It still looks brand new like I just pulled it out of the box. And it converts so easy between every stage of life. Thank you for making an amazing car seat that truly lasts through childhood like you advertise! I have loved this seat so much since getting the first in 2019 I went on to by 5 more once I had my youngest in 2021. We have one set in each of our 3 vehicles so we don’t have to move between cars even though installation is so easy!

BEST CARSEAT

Yvomarr

Love this car seat, super easy to install, very sturdy, great quality, my son is super comfortable in it. He would get overheated in his old car seat but not this one. He loves it. I love how it grows with your baby too!

THE BEST!

Nicsa

I’m so happy that me and my husband bought this car seat. We were involved in a horrible car accident. My baby and I are ok and my husband is healing thank God. Unfortunately we were not able to register the car seat right away then the accident happened. We no longer have the car seat since it’s not recommended to keep after it’s been involved in a accident. Anyone looking to buy a good car seat I recommend this one 100%. We will try to repurchase once we’re stabled financially. Thank you and God bless

Great fit!

I bought this about 3 months ago , my daughter is chunky chunky and out grew her graco infant seat, we tried a different brand seat, just because the graco ones were sold out at our local store and it did not feel safe at all. It was an immediate return and I went on Amazon and ordered our slim fit, we drive a Nissan Versa , very small and compact , this car seat is a PERFECT fit! Enough room for another car seat or two more kids in the back still! Fits behind the seat and she loves it , no fuss and super comfy for baby!

Just what I was looking for

I recently purchased the Slim fit 3 n 1 Darcie car seat for my son. He was riding in a pink minnie mouse hand me down car seat which is bulky and wider. The slim fit , fits perfect in my newer Ford explorer with split seats. My other children can get in and move around it to get to the 3rd row seats with no issues. I have it tilted in a 3 position. My sons sits and sleeps comfortable in it.

Will always recommend this seat to family &friend

Jannine

So comfortable for my boys & so reliable! Great seat

Exactly what I needed. Fits in my Ford Fusion comfortably. I would like to get another one- so my kids can have MORE room back there. I’m happy with this purchase.

Awesome Seat!

AmyB86

I bought this item about 6 months ago for my now 13month old. I love this seat! I have 4 kids and this fits nicely into my car, with a graco booster seat next to it, with the ability to slide the side seat forward so the older kids can get in the back. It is a very nice and sturdy car seat!

Comfortable seat for our child!

Awesome for the family

We purchased 2 of these for our cars and our son rides so comfortably and we know he’s safe! The adjustable height and security is great and the price is affordable!

Little Traveler's Seat

My young boy really seems to enjoy it, I also like the way when he falls asleep his head does not go forward, instead it goes towards the side.

Comfortable and versatile

Brianna_bellew

I love how many different options you have with this car seat. It will fit any child for a long time and my child looks so comfortable and relaxed in it!

Love this seat

Diana C

Love this seat for my 1 year old. The blue seat looks great and my baby is so comfortable!

A car seat the grows with your child

AbbyH

This car seat had an easy setup and was light enough to maneuver. Our son has been able to grow with the seat. The headrest is able to extend to fit the child’s height. The buckles are easy to work and tighten/loosen when needed.

Amazing car seat

juliadmp123_9081

Very easy to clean installment was simple. The adjustable options are great safety features are amazing and very comfortable for my little one.

Perfect car seat

lillyk18

It is really slim and comfortable for my child. The installation process is fast and easy. I like the safety features and buckles. It is easy to put my child in and take her out.

Great Seat

Ahlazah

Absolutely the best car seat I’ve ever had , it’s not bulky its lightweight, easy to install

More space!

Emily31

We love our SlimFit! I have a Honda Accord and with his infant car seat, we had to have the passenger seat pushed all the way up. With this, we have a little more room for passengers to actually sit up front. Secures into the backseat great. My bub loves it

Very safe great pink color and may daughter loves

Larry1986

My daughter absolutely loves this car seat and eve

Saved my 1 year old daughter!

Jess1019

My children and I were in a pretty bad car accident yesterday. Everyone in the car was hurt besides my 1 year old daughter who was strapped snugly into her Graco Slimfit car seat. She didn’t even cry! Needless to say, I bought a new one that night. Graco has me as a customer for life.

great seat

tom 69

Bought 2 of these seats in 2020, did a lot of research and wanted to make sure i didnt have to buy another seat for my child. was great when she was an infant liked it until she has become school age and needs assistance getting in and out of the seat. The seat sits up higher and makes it hard for her to get in and out of. But this seat is easy to install, clean, convert from rear to forward. All around perfect seat.

Peace of mind!!

daenabalaguer

The Graco SlimFit® 3-in-1 Car Seat really brings me peace of mind with all the safety features. The side cup holders are a plus! Not to mention it was easy to install and the product is super secure and comfortable.

Love it

Karisa S

We love it! We have the older model and the updated version is even nicer!

I like it

Brin2020

It fits well, sturdy, easy to adjust. Easy to clean.

Five stars!

Katie O

Super comfortable fit for my son! And it fits great in my ford escape which isn't super roomy in the back!

Great seat but weak chest buckle

Bruh

Child can unbuckle the chest buckle and there doesn’t seem to be any way to replace the chest buckle with a stronger one. The seat is well padded and very adjustable, but the chest buckle issue makes this seat hard to recommend.

Harness clip

Momof3under2

My 18 months old can unbuckle the plastic harness clip by herself. Poor design. She constantly unbuckles herself while we are driving the car which causes us to pull over all of the time. Shouldn't be this easy for a toddler to do this.

Didn't work for my child

Nikki8130527

I purchased this carseat to fit in my smaller suv. While it fit in the car nicely, my child did not. He is small for his size so his head would fall down on his chest even though he was within the weigh range and height range that the carseat recommended. His shoulder would also fall out of the harness no matter how tight we made it. Sometimes so tight it would leave red marks on our poor baby's shoulders.

Slim indeed

Bobba27

This is our second time purchasing this model, and it continues to work great. Fairly easy to install, comfortable for our child, and we can fit a small adult in between 2 of these carseats in our sedan.

Easy to use

Kat_

This car seat is easy to adjust and fits in our sedan.

Easy to install, comfortable.

Mike Sss

Very easy to install, move around, even travel with. Great that it grows with the kid.

Very satisfied

Bob G

Reasonably priced, excellent quality, slim fit is just what we needed Bob

never receiced my product very disappointed

Dee d

Never received my item do not order from graco website

Would not secure

CCD1234

Would not tighten at all in the car. Best way I can describe is imagine a zip line that's 5 ft long, and you string along a 3 ft "car seat." The other 2 ft of slack allow the car seat to move from side to side. That is what occurred with both this seat as well as the DLX. No matter how tight I had it installed, it still slipped from side to side. It also lifted on the back end that was closest to the front seat where adults sits. Meaning, if I were to accelerate rapidly (unrealistically, but not so much if I were rear ended at high speeds), the seat would lift off at it's rear and the child's face would launch towards the actual vehicle seat. I know this is hard to describe via text and not seeing it, but hopefully this makes sense. Very disappointed, as we totaled our car years ago and our daughter walked away with a minor abrasion because of her amazing Graco. Wish this would've worked.

Much better than “Schmaby Schrend” car seat

GracoLoverMama

I tried a cheaper brand of car seat for my third baby, but I had to go back and get this seat. My older two boys have Graco forever car seats and the quality, comfort, and ease are what drew me back into getting this brand. My baby hated her other seat which was an infant carrier. She absolutely loves her Graco, and doesn’t mind spending a few hours in it if necessary.

I LOVE THIS CAR SEAT

Enzos Mom

I bought this car seat for my son when he turned 8 months and it was the best decision. He’s now 3 years old and fits in perfectly. He’s completely comfortable in it & I love the color pattern. Unfortunately we were involved in a car accident on New Years and we were told we have to dispose of the car seat after being in an accident. Anyway, overall great choice!!!

Failed in 3 days

Cameron34

5 point harness failed in 3 days. It would not stay tight. Almost as if the release button was activated but it was not.

Seating

KJ Dunmirfe

Was very disappointed that the car seat does not recline enough for infants!

Graco Slim Fit - great buy

Gloria S

Purchased for my grandchild. This is perfect for extended cab Toyota Tacoma. We actually have three of these car seats between us. Another baby on the way. This seat leaves plenty of room for other items (and people) in the back seat. Very happy with this purchase.

The right car seat to choose from

Lisette

Perfect and affordable car seat that will last several years.

Nice

maha886_2967

Very durable. Comfortable for all toddlers and the safety features are easy to understand and work with when you are in a hurry. Easy to adjust sizing

Good and bad!

Marilee

Love aspects of this car seat. I do not love the way you have to adjust shoulder straps. It is very inconvenient and difficult to find. It is hard to use.

This is a great car seat! It's very safe, fits in my Subaru Impreza well, and also isn't super heavy to carry.

Great, comfortable, kinda big

Great, comfortable, kinda big. Can be a bit tight in the back seat of a compact car, but fits the kid great

Nice Streamlined car seat!

Only used twice so far, but great high quality car seat as expected!

Great car seat

Jperk86

Very comfortable for my kiddo and I feel very safe with him riding in this car seat! Love the space saving slim fit!

Impossible to clean!

Mainesmom

Beware!!! Experienced Mom here, bought what I thought was the safest best fitting car seat. I’ve never used anything but Graco products for nearly 20 years. But I was very disappointed to find out that this model doesn’t allow the straps to be removed AT ALL for cleaning. Horrible purchase for us since our 2 year old has issue with motion sickness. Will definitely be looking for something else.

Solid Choice

TerryC

Very functional car seat. Easy to get my 2-year-old grandson in and out. Took a bit to learn how all of the straps are loosened and tightened, but once I got that down, works like a charm. Fits him very well.

Not a rear facing product

LydiaC

My 20 month old cannot fit rear facing as our state law mandates. His feet/legs are jammed against thr back of the seat. An extension is needed. Don’t be fooled like I was that this is rear facing. Very disappointed in a product that markets it as a 3in1. It is not.

Returned them

Jeff with a van

We returned them because they don’t have the safety rating we wanted. We then ordered the Graco forever DLX.

5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MistyMc

I have 4 of these car seats! 2 in my Nissan Armada and 2 in my husbands Toyota Tundra. I felt compelled to write my own review after reading all the negative ones online, because in my opinion this car seat deserves 5 stars! Mind you I’m that person who reads the manual, and in fact still have them in the back pocket holder of all 4 car seats . I only had an issue tightening the straps one time, I called Graco and come to find out there was food stuck below the seat within the strap compartment which had the strap in a bind. My kids are now 6 and 4 and I’ve had these seats for YEARS, in fact the only reason I was on the site was to review the standards for possibly changing to booster seat position. These are slim, reliable car seats that don’t break the bank. I moved my daughter to hers after she outgrew the infant carrier, my son has been in his since about 6 months. I do break them down and wash all the parts Occasionally. And I also blow them out with the compressed air at the car wash when I’m there (I’m a bit of a neat freak). In my opinion you cannot go wrong with these seats. I briefly used a Cicco and my daughter liked this Graco better because it has 2 cup holders. Currently my son just turned 4 and is 42lbs and my daughter is 6 and also 42-43 lbs.

Car seat moves more than several inches

Dad1C

Worst car seat I’ve purchased ! Feels Completely unsafe !

Don’t buy to use as an infant seat!

Nan02

Don’t advertise this product as an infant seat if the seat cannot be removed from the base and carried with the baby in it. Now we have to go buy another and it won’t be a Graco.

Great Seat

Anonymous

Great car seat for kids, seems pretty comfortable. This is the second car seat of this kind we purchased for our kids and they are very easy to use.

Did NOT hold up!

KYmama2four

I want to start by saying, my oldest of four is almost 17, and my youngest being 1. We have ALWAYS owned Graco Baby products. From car seats, to pack n plays, swings, strollers ect in all these years! So rightfully so, once my baby was ready to come out of his graco infant carrier, we decided on the graco slimfit as it went up to 100lbs and would last him until he was ready for a seat booster around age 5. We have now only had the seat for right at a year, with it being properly anchored into our van. Still looks brand new. Decided last week to remove it and give it a little wipe down while cleaning out my van. When I moved the chest clip I noticed the chest belt on one side was unraveling where the chest clip sits. I immediately got online to enter all my car seats details to submit a claim as I knew it was still under warranty. After several days of being without a car seat for our baby, I finally got ahold of a Graco rep today. She recieved my claim and photos submitted and advised the car seat was defective and no longer safe and needed to be destroyed and disposed of. She also advised bevies those strap are not removable there are no replacement parts. I asked her since the car seat is clearly defective as it’s like brand new still under warranty and my baby is only a year old would they replace the seat as I paid a lot of good money for this seat. I am a stay at home mom of four with only my husbands income. But again always make sure to splurge for quality Graco products as we always have. I was advised by Graco they do not replace the seats if the parts are not replaceable as that is just normal west and tear. So you mean to tell you advertise your seat for up to 100 pounds, being easily a grade school aged kid or larger, with the expiration date lasting five to seven years (whatever timeframe it is) but it doesn’t even last my one year old baby but a year before coming apart? I’ve NEVER in the almost 17 years as a mother had any of my Graco car seats or products do this to me. And the fact that I now have to save up to buy another car seat out of pocket yet again after being without a car seat since last week. I’m so disappointed as this has always been our go to company for all baby gear! I have attached a photo of the unraveling of the chest strap.

Grows with child

Excellent carseat. Will work as child grows. Easy installation & easy in/out.

Great buy!

Baby boy fits perfectly. He loves it. The straps are easy to adjust. It came ready to use. We just had to adjust the straps. It’s perfect for my 11 month old.

Slim fit is great

Very happy with purchase. Customer service great. Able to fit 3 car seats is amazing

Had to return- but wish I didn’t have to!

Anonymous

Overall a great car seat, fairly slim but not as slim as I needed it to be so I returned it. Would have loved to keep it! Super easy to get a tight install, and the recline + no re-thread harness are always a bonus

Worth every dime.

bblondie141

We should have bought this sooner! It not only looks great but also fits great in our mid-sized SUV. Our daughter seems to like it much better than her infant carrier. Will probably be buying another one for our other vehicle!

Community Q&A

Is the Graco SlimFit narrow enough for three-across in a small sedan?
Yes, it is one of the narrowest convertible seats (16.7 inches) and works well in compact cars like a Honda Civic.
Can the SlimFit be used from birth?
It can, but some experts recommend waiting until the baby has good head control because the seat is more upright even at its most reclined.
How does the SlimFit compare to the SlimFit LX?
The LX adds a seat belt lock-off for forward-facing installation and may have different recline features; otherwise they are very similar.

Compared To

vs Graco Extend2Fit

SlimFit is narrower and better for tight spaces, while Extend2Fit offers more legroom when rear-facing.

vs Graco Triogrow Snuglock

One user returned the SlimFit LX due to the awkward recline lever placement and preferred the Triogrow's design.

  • User review highlights ease of installation and space-saving design but notes rethread challenge

    I recently bought this car seat to convert my toddler from a baby car seat to a convertible car seat. I absolutely love it. The installation process was very easy it fit nicely in my car with space. It's very durable and my toddler loves this car seat opposed to the baby car seat. I would say it's very comfortable for my toddler. I would recommend.
