It bothers me every time I take my son out of the seat. \n\nSecondly, the level on the side of the seat to let you know the seat is installed correctly is a metal ball, as opposed to a bubble like some of the other Graco models. That means that as you’re driving, that ball is constantly moving back and forth, which sounds like something is constantly rattling in the back seat. It doesn’t bother my son, but when I’m in the car without my son, I hear it constantly and it’s very bothersome. \n\nI love Graco car seats, but definitely recommend getting a better model if you can afford it.","reviewer_name":"Landons Dad"},{"date":"2024-12-01","title":"Impossible to tighten","rating":1,"content":"I’m so disappointed in this seat.

Came here to read reviews and noticed another mom has the same issue…now I know I’m not overthinking. \nI have a Chico infant car seat my 15 month old can still use because of her weight. I transitioned to this car seat because of the multiple recliner adjustments and felt the infant car seat doesn’t allow her to sit up as much as she should now that she’s in the beginning toddler stages. My first observation, her neck seemed very uncomfortable. This frustrated me, I adjusted the seat multiple times, eventually choosing to recline backwards more (slightly similar to the infant car seat). Adjusting her to sit up more (rear facing) causes her head and neck strangely to still seem uncomfortable. To help with this, I had to remove some of the cushions, unfortunately. When she falls asleep her head and neck completely fall forward as to leaning to the side on the cushions, not sure if this happens with every car seat? I’m a first time mom and this didn’t happen with the Chico brand infant car seat. \nSecondly, there is no freedom to adjust the straps. Basically whichever level you adjust the headrest to, the straps automatically adjust. My daughter is petite so I couldn’t imagine a bigger sized baby or toddler fitting in this seat honestly. \nThe only plus about this car seat would be the cup holders, the base is included, and I guess the different reclining stages. Also, the car seat grows with the baby which I like. I received this as a gift and wish I saved the box to return it. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this car seat. It’s not comfortable and I think that is a major take away especially for a child.","reviewer_name":"Tasha119"},{"date":"2024-03-16","title":"Car seat","rating":5,"content":"Have not used yet, but looks to be a great car seat.","reviewer_name":"Bkkkmmm"},{"date":"2024-03-13","title":"Straps in forward facing doesn’t get tight enough","rating":1,"content":"Bought this car seat in 2022 and have had issues from the start.

I am a 100 pound woman with thin hands; I already warned my husband that there is no way he will be able to loosen the straps without un-installing the seat.

It is so difficult to install with the cheap little anchor clips, and impossible to get tight, you have to climb in the car and try from many angles. We could not find any place to run the seatbelt for rear facing, the anchors were our only option. Very lightweight and cheap feeling. We have had other Graco seats and they have all had much better features (little red buttons to clip to the anchors), not sure where I misread but this seat is a nightmare if you ever need to switch vehicles.","reviewer_name":"Jp411"},{"date":"2023-11-28","title":"Don’t waste your money","rating":1,"content":"This car seat is AWFUL.

They need to stop selling this seat. My son absolutely hates it and looks so uncomfortable and it breaks my heart. Graco should be ashamed for putting such a poorly designed product on the market. \nSave your money and get a better seat.

For what ever reason the padding and car seat fabric have multiple layers where the seat belt needs to go so it is extremely frustrating trying to get the seatbelt through it, or to take the seat belt out. For whatever reason they decided to make the holes where the seat belt goes vertical, so you have to turn the seat belt vertical  and then lay it flat to go across the base and then turn it again to get it through the hole on the other side.  Also the leveling ball is only on one side of the car seat so you have to go around the car and to the other side  to see if the car seat is installed properly at the correct recline. This car seat also does not have quick release latches.  I bought this car seat because I already had a graco slim in my car (and I loved that one- I just didn’t want to spend that same amount of money again) and we needed an extra car seat to go between my husbands trucks( mind you his trucks don’t have car seat anchors) and I thought this would be good option, however I absolutely hate it. Also the headrest part of the seat does jut forward and pushed my babies head more forward- even with the infant insert removed so I have to keep her reclined more to keep her head flat. I have never been so disappointed in a Graco car seat, I would never buy this car seat again.","reviewer_name":"Kaelee"},{"date":"2023-07-19","title":"Looks nice but doesn’t function","rating":1,"content":"I bought this seat hoping to be able to use it for a long time with my daughter.

I bought this for my 11 month old who is outgrowing her initial graco infant seat. I like that you are able to put the seat in a recline position for little ones who seem to always fall asleep on car rides to put less strain on their little necks and avoid the dreaded head bobble. The seat itself was a little difficult to tighten down properly when installing it, but overall it took less than 5 mins by myself. The restraint system is very easy to use and fits nicely.

My child (18 months) threw up three times in this car seat in the same day, and we were able to pull off EVERY pad and get it into the heavy duty cycle in 15 minutes! it was very intuitive pulling the pads off and putting them back on afterwards by memory. Furthermore, with all pads removed, cleaning the seat is easy.

A little bit of a pain to install, and to get the straps tight on her, but felt confident once our 1 year old was in. No major issues... EXCEPT. She threw up in the car seat. And it went down her lap and into the straps and under the seat cover.  The cover is removable (takes some work, but not bad after the first time) and washable. But for some ridiculous reason there are a bunch of tiny holes and unreachable slots that the threw up got into. It dripped down unto the non-removable base, which also has holes in it for some reason, so then the throw up also dripped down onto our vehicle seat. The throw up got into the metal tracks, so when we tried to change the angle of the seat/had to move the headrest to get the cover off, the throw up got stuck in the tracks. Rinsing it off in the shower makes the seat and the straps not safe, but these parts were unreachable for cleaning, even with multiple hours qtips, toothpicks, and air spray, so you are just stuck with a seat that smells like vomit, forever.
