So far so good

Lesley F

So far so good - we’ve only had the car seat for a couple of weeks, but so far we’re happy with it.

Great for small toddlers (25lbs less)

Alondradelhierro

I am currently on the market for a new car seat. We have had this one for my now 4 year old since she was two, but we cannot continue to use it because the buckle is digging into her thighs. It’s so hard to get her buckled in with how short it is. We thought this would last her the life of the car seat but it has become such an inconvenience. Especially when we are trying to buckle her quickly in cold weather. My daughter weighs 30lbs I don’t think this should be happening

Comfortable seat

Bianca3

My child is very comfortable in this seat and truly enjoys the ride. I particularly appreciate the high-quality fabric; the material feels significantly softer and more premium than the 4Ever® DLX Slim 4-in-1. However, the installation process is more challenging compared to the Slim model. I also find myself missing the integrated harness storage that the Slim provides. While this is an excellent choice overall, it would be perfect if it offered a simpler installation and a dedicated spot to tuck away the harness.

Not very pleased

JandJ Mommie

I bought a more expensive car seat thinking it meant higher quality but this has a few concerns. The snap between the legs sticks out and dogs into my daughter’s thighs, I cannot imagine what it would do in an accident. The cupholders will not stay in place.

Extra padding for support in all spots of the seat!

Graco 4ever DXL is unmatched! Best seat ever !

Bkthorn787

We have had many children over the last 16 years (5 of them) and when using other brands, we have always switched back to Graco. They are roomy, soft, comfortable, and just look very nice compared to all the other brands. We will always love our graco car seats and the 4ever DXL will always be my favorite! It lasts for years to come and the price is unmatched!

Newborn to toddler car seat

FCCush

Very easy to install. Long term use for children. Product has a recline option which think my newborn enjoys. I like the idea of being able fo sit the baby up like she’s a big girl at times.

Amazing!!

Meg2017

Bought this for my son who is now 4. We love this seat! I was able to have him rear facing as long as possible and we used this seat for a 10 hour car ride and he was so comfortable! And all the safety features you can’t beat it! Definitely worth the money.

May not live up to the 4ever moniker - design flaw

Seth

We brought our newborn home in this car seat in 2018 and she will soon be 5. The prospect of having one seat that can grow with the child justified the purchase, but like another reviewer pointed out, the crotch strap is a pain and I'm not sure how much longer this seat will work. Our daughter has to pull her legs up and out so as to help with the buckling in process and to avoid getting pinched. She weighs 33 lbs and has an inseam of 18 inches. It would we great if this could be replaced with a longer strap. I was also unable to locate replacement part 2021167, to replace the fabric and foam cover that was torn while being transported on a flight.

Best car seat ever!

EvyEterno

This car seat was very comfortable for the baby. No more crying when he is placed in this car seat. I’m so happy that we purchased it. He loves it. Thank you Graco!!!

Wonderful car seat and great products

Gena H

Easy install. Top of the line of graco car seats. Our daughter has not once complained to be in this seat. We had to replace the one previous to this purchase, it was in a deer accident. The deer hit us going about 60 mph and she was booking it across the highway.

LOVE

LilandElla

This seat has been amazing over the last 2 years! I wish I knew where I put the infant inserts because I'd love to use it with baby #2 This thing is worth the money- it is built to last. Only cons are it's super heavy - which only impacts you if you need to alternate cars - and it takes up quite a bit of seat space. If you have a smaller vehicle and are needing to rearface, I'd recommend a different seat just because whichever seat it's behind will have extremely limited leg room (I'm 5ft tall and had almost no room in our 2012 nissan sentra). We now have a 2022 Toyota camry and it fits both the infant and 4ever comfortably.

#1 Foster Parent Pick

Smith Family

Most versatile carseat. As a foster parent, versatility is a must! We foster ages 0-5.

Poor Quality after sale support

Dutch

Bought three of the 4Ever® Extend2Fit® 4-in-1 Car Seats. Information in the box refers to an installation video at " www.Gracobaby.com/Graco 4Ever® Extend2Fit® Platinum". Number 1, Why the long extended pathway to locate an installation video? Number 2, Why not just have a link prominently at the top of your webpage for install videos? Number 3, There is no installation video at "4Ever® Extend2Fit® 4-in-1 Car Seat" just a sale pitch video of features. Number 4, On your support page there is no obvious link to any installation videos.

Love this car seat!

Mp20182020

This is my second one! I loved the first one I bought for my daughter, so I had to buy another when my second daughter was born!! ❤️

Great purchase - highly recommend

nicbeth

We've had one of these seats for nearly 4 years, and bought this one for my parents' cars. With the 4 seat options, you really get a great value. But the extend to fit pull out is the best part. It allowed us to keep our son rear-facing until he was almost 4. It's also given his long legs a place to rest now that he's front-facing. The pads are easy to remove for washing, and ok to put back on. If you have bigger fingers it can be more frustrating. However, I think this seat is amazing and is the only thing I'd use after a baby carrier.

4ever Extend-2-Fit Car seat

Lunargirl15

This is our fourth car seat of this kind and we always go back to the 4ever Extend-2-fit...our children appear comfortable and we feel confident they are safe. The seats are fairly easy to install (although heavy so not ideal for switching cars, often) and are easy to clean, as we often have to remove car snack crumbs!

Not what I expected

April27

I bought this carseat for my son who is now 3 and it had not held up great. It worn in and its very big I wouldn't recommend if you have a smaller vehicle. It also gets very hot in the summer and he hates getting in it. He is always complaining that his back hurts. I'm very disappointed for the price I paid I thought it would last longer definitely won't last 10 years like it says.

It’s a big car seat and a hit unwieldy.

J Yee

It’s big, so it may be hard to fit behind your driver’s seat. The leg extension part is cool but it takes up extra space. My son says it’s “weird.” Love the cup holders and all. I would and have bought this more than once. I would want people to know that it’s quite difficult and unwieldy to change the recline angle and adjusting the strap for Latch was very difficult on one of my two extend2fits. But, how often do you really need to do these things? Other than that, I like it.

Amazing for fitting any child

LindaMc

I bought 6 of these last month to donate to our local Police Department. They are perfect for fitting every sized child they may need to assist. Thank you for making a car seat so adjustable.

Great features

Ashsteven14

I bought this seat a couple months ago and love it and glade I got one that will grow with the child so I don't have to buy another carseat!!!!

You have to have a 4Ever Extend2Fit 4-1

Moe Maw

I just don’t know why they didn’t have this type of car seat whenever I started having children 25 years ago. I am really proud that I paid a little more than normal for this car seat because we were in a very bad accident and I have to say that my grandson didn’t have a scratch. He was sleeping and I guess because it’s really fitting to the child’s body and has the extra cushion and protection is the reason why he didn’t even cry he woke up and didn’t cry or anything and then he closed his eyes and went back to sleep. We will always be thankful that we bought this car seat. It’s way durable and built strong enough to protect your precious cargo from getting a scratch on them.

Safety features are superior

MetzMom

We bought 2 of these car seats for my son a month ago. We love it! Easy to put together and leaves no doubt in either of our minds that he will be safe in the car seat. I have had many moms recommend Graco products and I can certainly attest to how great they are.

Please improve this neck part.

MypreciousAndy

1.wrong neck angle 2. Too thick vision 3. Cupholder is not attachable. It's fixed. I've been using for 2 years. It was ok to use. But this has serious problem of neck angle. It would be much more safe if there was any extra cusions to keep baby head down. He couldn't breath well when he was younger. It had more deeper angle on the neck part. I feel so much nervous whenever I drive because that always make my kid fell his head off too easily and it gives neck pain to my baby. And the more baby grows it's more uncomfortable for his neck. Also he starts to feel stuffy and get sweat alot from the thick cushion. Wish there were better cusion on that seat for his head. How about making GRACO COOLING SEAT/Neck support cusion for each models? It would be the best without this big issue.. I'm going to change his seat...

the BEST!

yayajules1

Bought 3 for my grandkids for NahNah's car :) we love them!

Best First-Time Car Seat

Luisa123

My grandmother bought this car seat for me for my first child and it was so easy to install and it has great expandable features for when your baby grows. It is safe and a fantastic gift for an expecting mom or if you want to buy it for yourself.

Easy to use!!

Kmikaela

I bought this 5 months ago and what I love about it, is that is is super easy to work with. My baby looks comfortable all the time and you can adjust it very easily if needed. The material is very nice, you can take everything out and put in the washer and put it back with no problem. I’m in love with this car seat. So far the best investment for my baby.

Easiest Ajustments Ever!

Anonymous

I love this car seat! Install was fast and simple. It's amazingly easy to adjust. Taking my daughter out and buckling her is has been a breeze, no fighting with the straps and adjustments like her old seat. I hope they keep this model, we will be buying another one for our next little one.

Excellent Value

Chasmom13

I bought this car seat due to the new recommendations for children to be rear facing as long as possible. My son is tall and this allows us the most room and safety for years to come. I wish I would have shipped the infant seat and just gotten this seat

Great for Rear facing

Lisalou

I love that my kiddo can stay rear facing for so much longer with the extension panel! She is 2 year old and tall for her age. She still has so much room for growth before she will max out the height limit for rear facing

Great seat

Anonymous

Love it!!! Perfect for my baby. Would recommend to any mom

So easy

Txmama56

It’s so easy to install or move from car to car. My son has been in his for 3 years. Love it!

Wonderful features!!

Gennie

When we bought this car seat we were focusing souly on the fact that our son was a premie and we wanted something that would mold around him comfortably! He is quite long mind you! So for the fact that this car seat has a little foot rest is Awesome! It has multiple reclining features as well so whenever he finds he is not comfortable in one position i kind of pop him into another and he stops fussing! Just all around an amazing car seat!!

Great car seat!

Mamm

So happy with this car seat. Easy to adjust height.

Amazing customer service

Tippym

I originally brought the Nautilus 65 LX 3 in1 harness booster car seat because my daughter was 22 pounds. Not knowing the cdc changed the requirements to two years or longer rear facing until I went for my daughters one appointment. To make a long story short I called customer service to get it switched out. They completed the process the representative was amazing! My daughter had just got her one year shots so she was very cranky and crying. The rep was very patient and waited on the line until I got home for ten minutes. Talk about great customer service! I now love the new car seat and so does my daughter. View a few pictures below.

Only have to buy 1 car seat for every seat

Randalyn

My 4 year old son has been in it side he could face forward in the car he’s is now using the seatbelt instead of the clips!

Easy installation

Saramos14

Super easy installation which is a plus for a busy mama! My twins love their new seats!

Easy to use car seat

Ashley14

Bought this in December and it’s super easy to install and use.

Great value, great car seat

Almost mom of 2

I bought this a few months ago during a sale. My little one is now 4 months old and very big and tall for his age. I just love that this seat will grow with him. It is perfect for taller kids.

Seems to be user-friendly

Kbmccloskey

I recently bought this car seat for my 1.5 year old and it seems to be very simple to use and install. I like that the shoulder harness straps are adjusted simply with the headrest lever.

Great carseat

Swong

We have two. Will be getting another for third child

Perfect for baby

Bcauburn

Recently purchased this car seat for my 4 month old who was getting to large for the infant seat. Love how easy it was to install and baby loves all the room he has now!

Great car seat!!!

Ashley20

I bought this 2 years ago and it’s the best car seat I’ve ever purchased!

Love!

Maria95

I bought the exact Sam Leone for my two year old daughter that I just bought for my son and I love it. I love the features, its so comfortable and I feel like my kids arrived safe! Thank You Graco for amazing products !

Safe and secure!!!

Kayla Erica

When I had to upgrade our toddler to a new car seat I knew I wanted to keep him with the Graco brand. So far we’ve had the Extend2Fit for a little while now and I couldn’t be any happier. I love how safe and secure he not only looks but feels. The padding around his body and head put me to ease because I know that he’s protected. Even though he’s 2 we still have him rear facing what I like is there a foot rest so his legs aren’t cramped up facing the seat. My only issue is that it is tricky to change the levels from 1 to 6 or in between. I wish it was a swifter motion and easier to install. It took a long time for me to figure out what level he should be at and how to actually switch it. Once it was installed though it was perfectly fine.

Best carseat ever!!

Jess12151720

I bought this carseat for my baby due in June and love the amazing safety features, all the options to recline, and move the carseat with ease to best fit my child. I loved it so so much that I just ordered 2 more!

Great seat!

Jmar52

Excellent seat, altho problems with tightening which many people have had! You need to manually tighten the seat by pulling the straps on the back and then pull the front strap again.. Many videos and reviews of users having to do this

Very functional

Firstkidlearningxperience

My 2 year old is very tall for her age and can still be rear facing comfortably with this seat. Overall, really like it. The only thing i haven't enjoyed is that the belts that go over her legs seem to be too low on her legs. We have triple and quadruple checked that it's installed correctly. Overall love it though. Super easy to get in and out of the car.

Features are great but always a loose belt!

Micscofey

I've had 2 of these car seats replaced by Graco and still the same problem (even with brand new ones!). The left side belt is always a little loose and can never be fully tightened like the right belt. I don't think this causes any safety issue but it is very annoying!

Great seat for the money

Littleblondechick7

Love the extend to fit panel. Toddler has so much more room rear facing. The padding is very nice on this seat.

Light weight durable

Markomark

Bought this months ago and it’s still like new and so easy to switch between cars will be buying more if we have more kids

Best Car seat Ever!

mrm2856

I bought this car seat for my son and we love it. I will never own another car seat, we have another baby on the way and we will be purchasing another for this baby.

Fits in small cars

Katelynn97

I bought this originally for my son roughly a year ago and just bought my daughter one a few months ago, I drive a Toyota Camry and the back seats are not big at all but still got 2 of these! First car seat my kids stay asleep in during car rides, very comfy, & extremely easy to adjust when they grow

Great car seat but....

RR2017

This car seat is great, has a ton of awesome features my only complaint which is why it gets 4 stars not 5 is that the straps are really hard to pull tight and it does take 2 people to install it in a car. Overall though it’s a great car seat.

Great seat. Excellent features.

CD5891

I bought 2 of these car seats for my granddaughter and grandson. Love this item.

Love it!

LaSha19

I just purchased this about 2 weeks ago. My 12 month was getting to long for his first car seat. This still allows me to sit him to sit rear facing as well have room for his legs. The attached seatbelt latch is very convenient as well, you do not have to hassle with the seat belt. And the plus side I do not have to purchase anymore seats because it’s 4 in 1 :)

Best Car Seat Ever

Anonymous

We switched my son from a cheaper cosco seat to this around October and I absolutely love it, its very easy to adjust and to take in and out of the car, I can switch it out in about 5-10 minutes. My son went from screaming during car rides to enjoying them, I really don’t have anything bad to say about this seat, I’m pregnant again now and we will definitely be buying another for this baby!

Lasts forever!

Mp1105

I bought one 4 years ago for my oldest daughter and also bought one for my 1 1/2 year old daughter. They are the best car seats because they grow with them. Worth every dime.

The best car seat!

Umera

The best car seat I’ve bought so far! My daughter is still rear facing because I can extend the leg room for her with this car seat. And the fabric of this car seat is very durable. Have had it for over 6 months now, and its still in perfect condition.

Love the latch system

Kallie94

I love how easy the latch system works on this car seat, making it sooo easy to install and swap between cars.

Perfect fit!

Jesskuh07

I bought this for my daughter a year ago and she is still able to sit backward facing and she is almost 3! She seems very comfortable in it and it’s easy to adjust.

Awesome all around

Annek

I originally bought this carseat (based off of reviews and research) for my son when he outgrew his infant carseat. We loved it and bought the same one for our youngest daughter. I love the safety, style, and function of this carseat. It is definitely a one and done!

Perfect for all sizes!

Davis02

I absolutely love this seat. We bought this to transition our daughter out of an infant seat. I wish I would have found this seat earlier. Very sturdy, very comfortable on babies, variety of colors with great price

Best car seat on the market

Katkellb

We bought this car seat for my now 15 month old when he was 5 months old. The features that drew me to it were it’s longevity and safety. This convertible car seat will be the only seat he’ll ever need. As a nurse practitioner, I am well aware of safety standards and knew I wanted to rear-face my son as long as possible. The extending foot panel and 50lb rear facing limit on this car seat allow it to be used in that position longer than others. Having had the car seat for 10 months now, I can attest that it is a beautiful, durable and luxurious material that cleans well and does not overheat the child. The car seat is VERY easy to install, adjust and take apart to clean. My son is so comfortable in it and we could not be happier with our purchase!

Amazing

Chancemom25

I bought this 6months ago, and my son finally fits in it. It has enough cushion for him to be comfortable on long rides and I love it. Highly recommend!

Great features !!!!

Elizabeth7999

I’ve receive this as a present , it looks very comfy , my son is 2 years old and he still fits !!

No too bulky & has a ton of features!

JAMIE5623

I actually bought 2 of these, one for each of our cars and we love them! So easy to install and a great price point!

Best car seat ever!

Trenton

I bought this car seat for my 6 month old because it was time to upgrade her from the portable car seat. She LOVES this one!! She use to cry everytime I put her in the other car seat. I definitely will be using this one with my next baby.

Community Q&A

Is the Graco 4Ever Extend2Fit DLX worth the extra cost over the regular 4Ever DLX?
Most users say yes if you want extended rear-facing legroom up to 50 lbs, but the standard 4Ever DLX already rear-faces to 40 lbs and is sufficient for many.
Does the seat fit in smaller cars?
It is bulky and may require the front seats to be moved forward, especially in compact vehicles. Some users with SUVs report no issues.
Is the Extend2Fit panel useful forward-facing?
No, the extension panel can only be used rear-facing.

Compared To

vs Graco 4Ever DLX (non-extend)

The Extend2Fit version offers an extension panel for more legroom rear-facing, but many users feel the standard 4Ever DLX is still excellent for extended rear-facing.

vs Evenflo EveryStage DLX

Some users compare the Extend2Fit favorably for extended rear-facing, while others note the Evenflo's compactness.

  • Costco deal on Graco 4Ever DLX car seat - user experiences and bulkiness

    I have 2 of these seats, one for each kid. They are easy to install, easy to clean, and feel very sturdy. My kids are 3 and 5 and still have plenty of room to grow. The only downside is they are bulky, so if you have a small car it might be tight. But for safety and longevity, I think they're great.

    I was torn between the regular 4Ever and the Extend2Fit. Went with the Extend2Fit because my son is in the 95th percentile and I want to rear-face as long as possible. The legroom panel is nice but he doesn't seem to care either way. The no-rethread harness is so convenient.

  • Parents of multiples recommend Graco 4Ever for longevity

    We have triplets and bought three Graco 4Evers. They've been in them since birth and now at 3 years old we're still rear-facing. No complaints, easy to wash covers, and the install is simple with LATCH. Yes they're heavy but they stay in the car so it's fine.

  • Choosing between Extend2Fit and 4Ever DLX for small car

    I have a Honda Civic and we went with the 4Ever DLX (non-extend) because it's slightly more compact. The Extend2Fit panel pushes into the front seat. If you have a bigger car, get the Extend2Fit, otherwise the regular is still excellent.

  • CPST tech weighs in on Graco Premier 4Ever DLX

    As a tech, I see a lot of people struggle with the panel thinking it can be used forward-facing. It cannot. The anti-rebound bar is a nice addition on the Premier but honestly, the basic 4Ever Extend2Fit is just as safe. Buy what fits your car and your kid.

  • Multiples mom shares long-term use of 4Ever DLX

    We've had our 4Ever DLX seats for 4 years now through two kids. They still look new after countless washes. My tall 6-year-old just moved to booster mode. Definitely got our money's worth. Only con: they're tanks, so moving them between cars is a workout.
