Perfect fit

Julie25

I bought two of these a month ago and my daughter loves it. I love that the recline adjusts and that it’s not too bulky front to back. This car sear fits good in both cars and someone can still sit in the passenger seat. We think it fits better than the slim fit we have as well!

Great for tall toddlers

Lynxley79

I keep buying this car seat again and again for multiple kids & cars. The extendable leg feature helps my very tall 2 year old can stay rear-facing longer.

Love!

MonicaSnow

We bought this a month ago and it adjusts into the car perfectly. It is sturdy and very comfortable.

Comfy and washable

jmansfield23

Use this car seat for my oldest, bought the same one for my my baby. Comfy and durable! Washes out stains pretty well.

Great features at a great cost

Jillian93

Best car seat transition for my little one. He’s much happier now that he can see more and be upright. I love the adjustable features and the fuss free straps. I feel like my baby is very safe and secure in his seat.

Great car seat!

Ashtys616

I finally bought this new car seat for my baby. She turned 1 in February and it was long overdue for a new one beyond the infant car seat. It’s very durable and comfortable and my baby loves it. I feel like she’s safe in this seat.

Great car seat!

CableM

This is the second Extend2Fit we’ve purchased and they are great! Easily adjustable and comfy for the kids.

Needs a canopy

KFran

I wish there was an option to have a canopy or sun shade for our son. He went from an infant car seat that included a canopy shade for 6 months to now having this seat (Extend to Fit) with no shade. So it is open to the bright sun. It took some adjusting but he tolerated being in the seat for a 6 hour car ride (with a couple stops) his first time using it. Overall its good but I think he is still adjusting to it as he usually falls asleep within 20 minutes of us being in the car and now it takes him close to an hour.

Long lasting

MirSkou

I love that this car seat is extended rear facing and will fit my child for years to come. It’s a great price for how long it will be used for!

Great seat

Carseats1234

The seat looks comfortable and is easy to install. The toddlers fit in it easily and seem to enjoy riding in it.

Great car seat!

Jessica nicolle

It’s a great car seat! It was the best choice for our son who outgrew his newborn seat quickly. He is more comfortable on drives and I love that it gives him plenty of space to grow!

graco car seat

donna streyffeler

very nice and comfortable for the baby and safe like that is rear and front facing

Rear facing seat

The Buonauro family

Best rear facing seat because it the extend the length, height and weight for the child. My daughter sits comfortably and it has two cup holders.

Great car seat

LMRK

The car seat was easy to install and our grandson loves it!! Getting him in and out of the car seat is so much better than his previous car seat.

Truly All-In-One

Kylie97

Extremely easy to install and use. It truly grows with the kiddos. I have 2.

Stylish and Safe

Bre M

This seat is my family's favorite. We've had a few seats from Graco and other brands but as of right now both toddlers are in this seat (different colors). They are easy to setup and install with an easy to read manual.

Great Carseat

AnastasiaLou

We had four now, we got our first when our now three year old grew out of his first carseat. We got our second when our now two year old grew out of her first carseat. We ended having yo buy two new ones after a car accident. We really love these carseats due to how easy they are to use, and how comfortable our children seem in them. They fit nicely in our car and are easy to take out and put back in when needed. Highly recommend these carseats!

Easy to use

S Chandler

We are loving our new car seat. Easy to install and use. Highly recommend.

Great car seat

Mandy588

We’ve been extremely happy with this car seat. It feels very sturdy and well-built, which gives us great peace of mind every time we’re on the road. Installation was straightforward, with clear instructions and an intuitive design that made setup quick and secure. Our child seems very comfortable in it, even on longer drives. The padding is supportive without being bulky, and the materials feel soft yet durable. We also appreciate how easy it is to adjust the harness and headrest as our child grows—everything clicks into place smoothly and feels secure. Overall, this car seat combines safety, comfort, and convenience beautifully. We would absolutely recommend it to other parents looking for a reliable, high-quality car seat.

Daughter loves it and we do too

md82

My toddler was so excited about the cup holders! We call this the fancy car seat. It is safe and happy to have it for years to come!

Great Car Seat!

AmyNM

We love our Graco car seat. It was easy to install, it's easy to use, and we know it's keeping our little one safe. We especially appreciate the little pockets to keep the straps out of the way when you're putting the kid in.

No complaints

Navin W

Fantastic car seat, my daughter loves it, it’s comfortable and safe. A little clunky and doesn’t have all the gadgets that some high end models do, but it is sturdy, affordable, and seems like it will last.

Light weight but solid

John S

We were just blessed with another grandchild,hence another car seat for grandpa and grandma. The other car seat we have(another brand) is very heavy and cumbersome but extremely Safe and Sold. The main differences between the two; Extend2fit is much lighter Extend2fit has 2 cup holders which is awesome Extend2fit has two small seat belt holders which makes it super easy to tug away The Quality of the Extend2fit seems to be equal to the higher priced brands.

Car seat

MamaX4Boys

I love this carseat. Its my third like this I've purchased for my kids.

Very impressed

JenniferK2424

Really liking this car seat! It has a sleek look and super easy to install.

Two Seats for Two Little Ones

Double Trouble

We love this car seat so much that we bought another one for our 2nd child.

Great baby/toddler carseat

stellarfizz

We got this on a whim for our first car, and loved it, so when we got a second car, we just went straight for this carseat. I like that it's not too big, has extendable leg room for rear-facing, and has lots of safety and convenience features.

Good car seat

IreneV1

We are excited to have a car seat that our child can grow into. It has been great as a rear facing seat so far.

Well crafted car seat

Mel How

This car came exactly as described. I appreciate the 2 instructions booklets and I also appreciate all the safety features of this seat. The explanations for installation are clearly written with appropriate pictures to accompany each step.

Safe and won’t break the bank

LA Bates

After extensively reviewing car seats, I decided to go with the Graco Extend2Fit. We valued rear facing weight limit over something meant to last “forever”. Easy install. My kiddo seems content in it. The only thing I don’t like is that the button to loosen the harness is buried inside the seat.. I’m not sure who doesn’t loosen and tighten the harness straps when buckling your child in..so this has been a slight inconvenience and annoying at times with a kicking toddler. Just wish it was more easily accessible.

Toddler car seat

Jashelle

Great car seat, safe and easy installation. Love the height and weight requirements.

Perfect for my 2 year old toddler

BoyDadTruck

Great extension feature for my tall toddler, super comfy and easy to install

Worth the price

Cali951

Good quality and softness for my infant . Highly recommend

Perfect for Long Rides & Growing Babies

Dpuckett

We’ve been using the Graco Extend2Fit for our 10-month-old (21 lbs, 29”) for the past two months, and it’s already a game-changer. Installation: Super easy with the InRight LATCH system—took me less than 5 minutes to get a tight, wobble-free fit in our Ford Expedition. The level indicator is clear and reassuring. Comfort: This seat is so soft. The plush padding and infant insert cradle our baby perfectly, and he falls asleep within minutes on every car ride (even short trips!). Our baby is happy, we’re stress-free, and we won’t need another seat until he’s in a booster. Highly recommend!

Marccc

The car seat has been a great product except while trying to move it I would like a more accessible way such as a handle

Nice anchor points

Jacek

It’s awesome that the anchor clips have been updated from a different graco seat that we have (always had trouble securing it). This one will grown with our 12 month old for a good long time. The kid LOVES the cup holders too.

Decent car seat

ABCR

Decent. A little hard to install securely with LATCH. The 3-in-1 somehow fits better in my car than the 2-in-1.

My 8 month old loves it!

A Burch

Switched to this seat from the snugride when my son was about 8 months old. He had started hating the car so much but since switching to the extend2fit, he’s a happy rider!! Having him more upright seems to work really well.

Trust the reviews, it really is a great car seat!

Justin T

Great car seat all around! I can see why it is so well recommended. It fits well in our tiny hatchback car, and I can tell our toddler is going to fit rear facing for a while which is great. My two very small complaints, why are the cup holders square? and I wish they had made the shoulder strap pads a little better, they keep popping off.

Carseat

Kaldog

Love the look of the car seat, love that it has cup holders. Unfortunately the instructions were a little confusing on how to install but a YouTube video was able to help me. I feel once installed it is a little tricky with the straps but hoping with more use they will get better.

Great seat!

Jazzp

This is a great seat overall. The cushions look very comfortable and installation was easy. The only downside is the latch to loosen the seatbelt is tucked away and really hard to get to so we have to keep the existing setting while putting our baby in and taking him out.

10/10 Recommend

KButcher

Very nice car seat, I am a researcher and review reader before I buy most anything. I was so impressed with all of the positive reviews, that is why I chose this car seat for my Grandson.

Happy Baby, Happy Mama

Lin R

Our 18-month-old baby is >99% in both height and weight. She would refuse to stand and walk when we took her out of her car seat. We finally realized it was because her legs were falling asleep in her rear facing car seat because they were bent up to her neck. When we saw the Extend2Fit Convertible Car Seat with the extended leg rest, it was like God heard our prayers. Now she sits like a Princess in her Graco throne.

No complaints

IEDH

Easy enough to use. Nice that it will last through many ages.

BEST. SEATS. EVER.

Emily W M

Love this car seat! These are the third and fourth ones we’ve bought! We will always choose these!! So versatile! Easy to install and clean!!!

Easy to Install and great functionality

B Knopick

Easy to install and great to have the multiple stages of baby to toddler for use.

Clean, comfortable, easy to install, great for sha

Becca V

We chose this car seat for our Hyundai Tucson because it allows my husband and I to fit in the car with the car seat behind either seat. We ar both tall and this was not possible with our previous rear facing seat. It’s comfortable and clean looking for our daughter. It’s incredibly easy to install. Big fan of the product, especially for the price!

Love this one!

Sarah Elizabeth

Comfortable seat that’s lightweight and easy to install. I loved the extension for leg room for my toddler. He’s in the 90th percentile for height but is able to safely sit rear facing a little longer.

Nearly perfect carseat

Proud da da

Almost perfect. The shoulder strap release mechanism is a little cumbersome. Otherwise great.

Great!

Alison L

We upgraded our son to this seat after he outgrew his infant seat and have loved it so far. It is very sturdy and secure and the inserts are easy to take out to clean when necessary.

Love this car seat!

TwinMom24

We love this car seat! We have two for our twins and both fit well in our midsize car. The straps are easy to adjust and fit them both comfortably, though they are different sizes. The seats feel secure in the car and our kids sit securely in the seats!

Excellent cars ear!

Grammi

This is the second car seat like this that I have purchased. My grandson really likes it! It is a comfortable car seat for travel both short and long distances. I appreciate the features that grow as the child grows! Graco makes the best baby equipment in my opinion!

Great car seat

Rey B

Great car seat at a reasonable price. This is a great fit for our taller kids. It is a lot easier to buckle them into than other car seats we have tried. Graco is a great brand that is high quality. Very happy.

Light weight and safe

RosieT

I like the car seat. It’s light weight and is safe. The straps are easy to pull. It fits nicely in a smaller car. I like that you can rear face longer with this one.

Great user friendly and compact seat

GeaAsh

I love everything about this seat. It’s the most compact than any other seat I’ve seen (front to back) it’s user friendly and super comfy for my little one

Extend to fit

Roxy RM

I love this seat. My toddler is very comfy in it. My only complaint is that the straps don't always tighten evenly so sometimes I have to loosen it a bit on one side and then tighten the entire thing back down.

Love it!

Stephanie HC

Love everything about this seat, from the dual cup holders to easy installation. Only slight complaint is that the straps are a little hard to pull/tighten compared with the infant seat we had. Still recommend it though!

No complaints, highly recommend.

SHCOOK

We chose this seat because it was recommended by the Wirecutter. No regrets. It seems to be a great seat. Solidly built. Easy install. And our little feller seems comfortable and happy riding in it. One really nice little design feature: little pockets that allow you to tuck the harness straps off to the side so they're not in the way when we're putting him into the seat. [Chef's kiss]

Extend2Fit® Convertible Car Seat

Lauren Elizabeth

Happy with this product for the most part, as it is relatively easy to set up and get my child into.

Great product

K Holmquist

Easy to install, get my kid in and out of and keeps him facing backwards longer.

Great car seat

Allison34

This is a really excellent car seat at a great price. It fits well in our small car (Prius c), and actually leaves more room than our infant car seat did! I appreciate the adjustability and knowing it’ll grow with our daughter for years to come. Our daughter seems comfortable in it and it’s easy to buckle her in/take her out.

Pretty Good Carseat

Lottie

This is a good car seat but it is large and bulky. inlike that it can be rear facing for so much longer for larger babies, in particular. However, it is not for a small car as I had to have my passenger seat all the way forward in my sedan. Easy enough to install and adjust actually. Great for the price and good safety ratings.

Perfect car seat

Ashbee62587

I love this car seat! When my baby started to outgrow her infant car seat, I knew we had to get a new one. This is perfect, as it will grow with my child. Not too hard to install, but if you travel often or friends pick you up with your child, you may want to get an additional car seat for travel and leave this one in the car.

Online video your best bet for easy setup

CathBee

It’s quite complicated until you figure out how simple it is. Online video very helpful to get it set up. The instruction manual is terrible to figure out.

Perfect fit!

Grammy Happy

Very pleased with this car seat purchase. My grand daughter is happy, comfortable, and safe. It was also easy for this Grammy to install in my vehicle.

Would buy again

NaijaMex

Great carseat, as advertised. Would purchase again. I purchased because I want my little one rear facing as long as possible and at lowest price point for the value. This one exceeded expectations.

Easy to use

Kelmorga

Easy to install, easy to make adjustments, no complaints.

The best!

Liz Dann

This car seat is 500x better than my uppa baby that is double the price. And I'm so happy he'll be able to stay rear facing comfortably longer

Perfect for a growing baby!!

MacyCrazzy

Fantastic! Great quality and our baby isn't screaming whenever we put him in the car now! Plenty of room, and cushions for long rides. He's comfy and riding in style. For our car, it currently isn't too tall as it's at one of the lowest settings, but it doesn't appear it will really fit in our car as he gets taller. But for now, it's a great car seat. Just what we wanted and needed!

Great seat

Jen Smitty

Great seat, if the delivery was faster, I’d be more likely to order direct from mfr again but it took almost 3 weeks to receive.

Good car seat!

Noice

Our baby is enjoying the car seat! Only thing is it can get hot in the car but that would happen with any car seat. Everything is super self explanatory!

Best product out there!

Chelsmer

We bought this for our second child after already having one for our first and we love it! Could not recommend this car seat more! Comfy, safe, all around great product!

Amazing invention

Tootie25

This is the best car seat ever and my toddler loves it. I love how you can extend it so you can keep your little rear facing until they hit the maximum requirement to switch to front facing. My toddler falls asleep in it it’s so comfortable. He can keep his legs stretched out and I can tell he’s happier with this car seat vs our old one and it’s better for his body. Fantastic buckle system so I know he’s completely safe. Extremely durable.

Recommended

TLBNL

I bought this to use for our grandson. It is very easy to install and move between cars if necessary. It is easy to adjust and fit exactly to his size and appears that it will be easy to use as he grows. The only complaint, if any, is when it is empty it rattles if driving on rougher roads. But would recommend.

Lindsey Moscak

It's a great car seat. The belt is a little hard to tighten, but otherwise it's well made and easy to use.

Easy to use, comfortable

Brooke Reviewer 1

Easy to use, adjustable, not the easiest to install, however, it is a nice car seat.

Nice car seat

Mbcaffe

Easy to set up. Nice for growing toddlers . Easy to clean

Great for growing toddlers

Bea153

I recently got this car seat for my 2.5 year old and he is so much less squished and more comfortable backward facing than in his prior car seat. It was pretty easy to install and I also like the little pockets to put the latches in so he doesn't sit on them when he's getting in.

Good overall

Carlewis

I love the fact it grows with your child. I own three and it’s nice they all fit side by side in our large SUV in the second row even with cup holders. It seems when they outgrow the body pads (20Ibs) per the manual they aren’t as comfortable and my oldest toddler said she wants them back it. Their heads are slightly pushed fwd without the body pads and just look uncomfortable but seem to tolerate rides okay.

Overall a great car seat

Gwinn

Overall the car seat is great. It’s easy to install with clear instructions. The latch straps are easy to use and to remove with the release button and their storage points are great for when you’re not using them. It’s easy to adjust the height of the headrest to find the right height. The pockets for storing the harness buckles are extremely useful. The fabric is soft and easy to clean. It’s a little challenging to remove/install the seat covers as some of it is attached with elastics threaded through openings and hooked to small eyelet hooks. This could be a bit of a challenge if you lack dexterity. I’m happy to have a car seat the will continue to grown with my little one through the years and provides the ability to keep them rear facing longer.

Sturdy and safe but figuring the belts is a pain

Anonymous

We bought this seat for our toddler who is growing older now and needed something safer than the Safety 1st seat that lasted us for three years but then its styrofoam broke. However, maybe it's a feature of carseats in general but the harnesses have been a pain, especially to tighten the seat.

Best quality ever

Versatile seat that grows from newborn to big kid. Fits nicely in my small car to allow extended rear facing.

A must have!!

Anonymous

A friend of mine recommended this particular car seat to me. After doing my research and reading reviews, I determined this was the best car seat on the market. I was so impressed, I bought 2 so both my son and his wife could have one in each car!

So nice I bought it twice!

RoseG

Love it so much we’ve bought it twice! Extended rear-facing is important to me and this seat checked all the boxes at a good price. My kids are comfortable in the seat and I have peace of mind knowing they are safe in the car. The cover is removable and washable which is another plus! My kids have never complained in this seat.

Safe, comfy car seat

AlexandraP

Super comfy and safe car seat! My son loves this seat and it gives me peace of mind knowing how reliable it is. He’s happy for hours in it even on road trips. The seat is super adjustable with a moving headrest and buckle. The seat is of medium weight and super sturdy!

Favorite car seat

I couldn’t be happier with this car seat! The Graco Extend2Fit is super easy to install, feels very sturdy, and gives me peace of mind knowing my child is safe. The extended rear-facing option is a huge plus, and my little one looks so comfortable with the extra legroom. The seat padding is soft yet supportive, and I love that it grows with the child, so it’s a long-term investment. Excellent quality and worth every penny!

Simple and easy

IvyK

I switched to this from a Safety1st Grow and Go seat and am so glad I did. Love that it has a higher weight and height limit for rear facing and it is so easy to install! My son is very comfortable and loves his new seat.

Comfy durable seat

Mom b

Car seat seems comfortable w thick cushioning, durable material that is a little stiff upon initial use.

The Graco seat with class.

Easy to install and use the red outline make it stand apart with class.

Love this!

We love this car seat! The extend fit is great for my larger toddler.

Most trusted car seat

AlyssaL

I used this convertible car seat with both of my girls from birth to nearly 4 years old. It is easy to take apart and clean as well. We never worried about safety with our babies in this seat.

The last car seat I’ll need .

ShannonE

Being able to rear face for as long as possible has been a goal of mine since pregnancy. Even with the older generation being so pushy about front facing ASAP because “kids get squished” rear facing. Thankfully I have nothing to fear using this car seat. The foot rest extends to give more visible leg room as well as the head rest goes vertical for even more growth. As always installation was an Olympic sport, however it is because Graco makes these things to last and protect.

The best for the safety of our children

2.5 year old back hurts

Sadie1999

My 2.5 year old daughter constantly complains that her back hurts while in this car seat. I’ve tried everything to fix the problem, I even tried to make it forward facing instead and she still cries that her back hurts. At this point I’m thinking of getting her a different car seat.. it really sucks considering how pricey this one was. I wish I knew that so many other have tbis issue with this car seat before purchasing.

Love Graco but not the extend 2 fit

LeahG

Alright, I love Graco products but the extend to fit is absolutely horrible. It is impossible to tighten the straps. I thought this was normal until I used a slim to fit and had no troubles tightening the straps. I contacted Graco and they are saying I had the straps positioned wrong in correlation to my child’s shoulders. In fact, I do NOT. No matter what position they are in, I have to use all my strength to tighten the straps. Completely unacceptable and un-safe. Graco will be losing my business due to this!

No replacement straps available

G616

Contacted Graco Customer Service as the user manual suggests and they say there are no replacement straps available for the Extend2Fit car seat we bought 7 months ago. This is ridiculous, I will tell every new parent I know not to buy Graco.

Super easy to install, great quality! So many details have been thought of. Definitely recommend!

Just buy it, you won't regret it

Mack Daddy

Baby loves it = parents LOVE it!! Purchased it to replace one the kid was fussy in, went on a 4 hour road trip shortly after getting it and baby did not fuss once! Couldn't believe it.

Thumbs Up!

Kaila A

We love this car seat. It’s the perfect size, not too big and bulky and not too small. We love the versatility and the grow with baby features. Our son seems super comfortable in it. It’s very easy to install and even un-install! Sometimes I feel car seats can be so complicated to remove but this was easy to take out when needed. The safety features on this car seat are unmatched and our son can stay rear facing longer. We love this car seat so much we bought 2. We have not washed ours yet, but it seems easy to take the cushions off and wash which is a plus! Truly no complaints.

Beware of headrest

Momofboth18

We got this for my son (whose 3 now) when he was 3 or 4 months old. The head part is styrofoam and the first one had cracked which graco said it cannot be used. They sent us a new one and it cracked in the same part. The first one I assumed was something g we did wrong but now I’m not so sure since it’s in the same place.

Why are cup holders square

BarbD

We’ve been using this car seat for about a year now. I really like it and our granddaughter seems quite comfortable in it. The only problem we see with it is that the cupholders are square and round cups don’t fit in them very well. I can’t understand why they would’ve made square cupholders when they don’t make square cups. If you need to take it apart to wash the cover, it is not easy to take apart and reassemble.

HORRIBLE TO CLEAN THE COVER

Kaykay8

The seat itself is fine to install but I am beyond livid at how hard it is to take the cover on and off. I don’t think anyone at graco has any idea at how often you have to clean the cover and it is wayyyy to hard to take off and clean and get back on. You have to completely undo the straps and cram butter knifes to even get the straps in the right spot. The tiny little hooks they give you my fingers can’t even reach and I’m a petite woman. Absolutely furious at how difficult the cover is especially when the older model of the same car seat was wayyy easier. I feel like they went out of their way to make the car seat worse. Thanks graco for making it easy for me to go with a different brand. Also not to mention my kids neck is always cranked forward even when I recline them.

Seems good so far

Mama CH

Seems safe. I like the storage pockets for the belt.

Love it!

Kantrel

I love that it takes up less room in my back seat than the infant seat did. Great product at a great price!

Absolute worst car seat

Ali B

I absolutely hated this car seat. I purchased two of them, one for my car one for my husbands. We had issues from the start, we could not get the harness to release correctly, and it wouldn’t pull tight enough on the baby for the pinch test, I could still get my arm inbetween the baby and the harness. This also happened to one we purchased for our first baby about 3 years ago. I really wanted to like it but it was the worst car seat I’ve ever used

Not great

ORIOS

The car seat was just ok. The seat felt extremely deep so my toddler never felt quite secure in it. The seatbelt also would loosen during the rides, it would be tight when we left and then slightly loose when I went to take her out again. The fabric was also just not as soft as others. Also the “extend” feature seems impossible to use as there is no room to slide the foot extension out without leaning her back a ton and she’d be riding essentially lying down. This may be user error but it just didn’t seem functional. She also complained about the straps being uncomfortable which she never did before

Poor instructions

Ttocs

Car seat itself is fine but the instructions were awful. How about a link to a video?

RG2X

Very happy with the fit and adjustability this so far, but the top of the seat rattles a bit.

Amazing Carseat

i bough it a month ago and my son loves his car seat. It’s comfortable, and safe, and we’re both really happy!!! I searched a lot and finally found the perfect one.

Great All Around

Love2BB

Easy to use & install. You can take it on the plane for travel which I love!

never received car seat

Mando Mango

I never received car seat. The order was placed over a month ago and I was billed but never received the Extend2fit car seat

Excellent Car Seat

Stefania

Love this product super safe and ny baby enjoyed it

Very adjustable and perfect for my child

Anonymous

The extension for the legs is perfect and is helping keep my child rear facing longer! Our car has deep seats, the different angles have helped fit the car seat perfectly.

Best Convertible Carseat

This is the car seat I used to upgrade my baby from an infant. I love it. It’s easy to install. I love how my baby can grow into it. I’ve had it for 2 years and it’s still going amazing

New headrest on 2.0 - no shoulder room

Anonymous5

Purchased the 2.0 version thinking it was the same car seat that has come highly recommended; however, I have since realized the headrest has been changed between the original and 2.0 models. It is now more curved in and has a smaller space for infants head and shoulders. We have found it nearly impossible to have the harness at or below our child’s shoulders while in rear facing without their shoulders being pressed up right under the headrest or shoved forward and in from being inside the headrest. I’m disappointed in the 2.0 model, as we thought it would be the better version.

Great Carseat

Astar999

Good quality, my son seems very comfy, and I love the high weight limit for rear facing use.

Easy setup, but awful straps.

Eve L

Setup is easy enough (including cupholders - I don't know what people are upset about there. With a little bit of force they click right in). But the straps are IMPOSSIBLE to use on the daily. My son is rear facing and I have to reach to the back of the carseat and pull from there in order to then tighten the strap at his feet. Not at all a smooth process and feels like they're too loose still EVERY time. I don't know how it'll work when he's forward facing since I'd have to wedge my had behind the back of the carseat to do the same routine. We'll see.

good but

Robert Y

The car seat is good but your instructions are bad to say the least and it takes up so much room that the front seat has to be all the way forward to make room for the car seat and I drive a TX5 Cadillac. Not a small car.

lowSome parents find the crotch buckle uncomfortable or positioned too far back, making it difficult to get a snug fit on smaller children.

Community Q&A

Is the harness really that hard to tighten?
Yes, many parents report it takes a lot of force and some develop workarounds like pulling from the back or using both hands.
Can this seat be used from birth?
Yes, it can be used for newborns, but some find the lack of a carrier handle inconvenient.
What is the difference between the 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 models?
The 2-in-1 is a convertible seat (rear- and forward-facing), while the 3-in-1 also includes a booster mode for older children.

Compared To

vs Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1

Users debate whether the 3-in-1 is worth the extra cost for booster mode; some prefer the 2-in-1 for its higher rear-facing weight limit while others think the 3-in-1's versatility is better long-term.

vs Diono Radian

The Extend2Fit is often considered alongside the Diono Radian for extended rear-facing; the Graco is generally seen as more budget-friendly but with a trickier harness.

  • Frustration with Graco Extend2Fit Harness Tightening

    Does anyone else hate the Graco Extend2Fit? I cannot get the straps tight enough on my baby... I have to pull from the back of the seat where it splits and pull out towards me, and even then it's hard. I'm worried she isn't secure. What am I doing wrong?

  • Mixed Opinions on Installation and Comfort

    I have the Graco Extend2Fit and love it. Installation is a breeze and my son seems comfortable. The harness is definitely harder to tighten than other seats, but you get used to it. For the price, it's a great seat.

  • 2-in-1 vs 3-in-1 for Bigger Kids

    Torn between Graco Extend2Fit or Extend2Fit 3in1. The 3in1 is nice because it turns into a booster, but the 2in1 rear-faces to 50 lbs vs 40 lbs on the 3in1. My kid is huge so I'm leaning towards the 2in1 for longer rear-facing.

  • Positive Experience with Convertible from Birth Despite Harness Issue

    We've used the Graco Extend2Fit convertible since birth. Our baby seems comfy and I love that I won't have to buy another seat. The only downside is the harness is a bit tough to tighten, but I just pull from the back and it works.

  • One-and-Done Family Loves the Extend2Fit

    We chose the Graco Extend2Fit for our only child. It was easy to install and fits well in our small car. The fabric is good and the cup holders are a hit. The harness tightening is a known issue but we've adapted.

  • Graco Extend2Fit vs Competitors

    Considering the Graco Extend2Fit vs the Britax One4Life and Diono Radian. I've heard the Graco has a tough harness but it's so much cheaper. I think the safety ratings are comparable so we'll probably go Graco.
