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.

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

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.

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.

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 Seat

Ahlazah

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

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!

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.

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!

Very satisfied

Bob G

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

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.

Grows with

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

graco slim fit

NRAR

great car seat that is slim enough to fit nicely in the car. seems to be safe and reliable choice for toddlers

Love it

A Bond

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

Mobile and safe car seat

Anonymous

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 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.

Baby and mama approved!

Erica N

This is my 2nd slimfit 3 in 1 car seat. My 2 year old daughter loves her and bought one for my son! Love the space saving with the cup holders, design/colors, and price point!

Easy

Jb987654321

Easy to install, baby seems to like it with the padding.

Carseat

Tjackson

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

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.

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.

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.

Great, comfortable, kinda big

CTBR

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!

Anonymous

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

Works for me

Em R

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

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.

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

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!

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.

Great car seat

Cat5

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…

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!

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!

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

Very safe great pink color and may daughter loves

Larry1986

My daughter absolutely loves this car seat and eve

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.

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.

Love this seat

Diana C

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

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!

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.

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.

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

Easy installation.

PBre

This car seat was easy to install! The instructions were easy to follow.

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!

Very good

ThaisM

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

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.

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..

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!

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.

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.

Great versatile car seat

tramwin

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.

Easy to use

Kat_

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

Easy to use

Sofita

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Excellent choice

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!

We LOVE this seat

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.

Solid Choice

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.

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.

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.

Perfect car seat

lillyk18_1467

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.

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.

never receiced my product very disappointed

Dee d

Never received my item do not order from graco website

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.

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.

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.

I love this item for my nephew!!

Anonymous

Best car seat I’ve ever bought for my nephew. It’s safe and very comfortable for your infant/toddler/big kid. Fits PERFECT in a car. Doesn’t take up a lot of space either. It will last you years!!

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.

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.

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.

Will always recommend this seat to family &friend

Jannine

So comfortable for my boys & so reliable! Great seat

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.

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!

Love this car seat

Reina

We got this for our daughter when she was 3 months, about 14ish lbs, she fit great! Can’t wait to keep watching her grow in it!!

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.

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.

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.

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

Failed in 3 days

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Car seat moves more than several inches

Dad1C

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

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.

Community Q&A

Will the Graco SlimFit fit three across in my car?
It is one of the narrowest convertible car seats and works in many vehicles, but some cars cannot accommodate three across regardless.
Is the SlimFit good for travel?
Yes, it is FAA-certified, relatively lightweight, and easy to install on planes, but carrying it through the airport can be cumbersome.

Compared To

vs Graco TrioGrow

The TrioGrow is easier to install, lasts longer in harnessed mode, and has dual cupholders, but the SlimFit is preferred when slimness is required.

vs Graco Extend2Fit and Graco 4Ever

The SlimFit3 is noted as the slimmest but with a slightly shorter seat pan, making it less comfortable for some children; the Extend2Fit offers more legroom.

  • Graco SlimFit3 LX as an excellent travel car seat

    We used this seat... The manual explicitly states it is certified for aircraft use... It's fairly light (as far as convertible seats go) and was very easy to install. It fit very nicely in our economy seats, perhaps because it's a slim seat.

  • SlimFit3 LX recommended for 3-across in sedans

    We have the SlimFit3 LX and it's been great. It's the slimmest seat on the market and we can fit 3 across in our sedan. The seat pan is a bit shorter than the Extend2Fit but our kid doesn't mind.

  • Using SlimFit for air travel with a travel cart

    I bought a car seat specifically for air travel, the Graco SlimFit 3-in-1, and attach it to a Britax car seat travel cart. This becomes your faux stroller while navigating the airport... The car seat is FAA-certified and gets installed directly into the airplane seat once onboard.

  • SlimFit3 LX preferred for 3-across but not as long-lasting as TrioGrow

    If the slimness of the SlimFit is not necessary for your vehicle, I would be inclined to go with a different seat, such as the TrioGrow... If the slimness is a must for you, then of all the '3 across' seats on the Canadian market... the SlimFit 3 LX is by far my favourite.

  • SlimFit's harness height may be outgrown early by tall kids

    We have the SlimFit and love the slim profile, but my 4-year-old is already on the top harness slot. The seat goes to 100 lbs but the harness height is limiting.
