Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 Infant to Toddler Car Seat (Charlie)
The Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 Car Seat (Charlie) is a convertible car seat that transitions from rear-facing harness (4–40 lb) to forward-facing harness (26.5–65 lb), highback booster (40–100 lb), and backless booster (40–120 lb), supporting children from infancy to 10 years. Key features include a steel-reinforced frame, Graco ProtectPlus engineering for crash protection, a Simply Safe Adjust harness and headrest with 10 positions, 6-position recline, InRight LATCH for installation, and a machine-washable RapidRemove cover. Reddit users praise its longevity and value but note the infant insert may cause head flopping for newborns, so it is better suited for older babies and toddlers.

Fav Car Seat!
I have had the same car seat for my daughter for almost 2 years. It was an easy decision to buy it again for our second kiddo. Love that it grows with them and that we only need one!
Wonderfully Safe
Very clean and safe! Needs to be quite tight to keep the child from leaning forward too much. Otherwise, an incredible car seat!
So glad we purchased!
I bought this a month ago, as my granddaughter was outgrowing her car seat. This is perfect for our needs! The strap tighten piece is so much longer than our old car seat, makes it so much easier to help her in and out! It’s so comfortable for her, she loves it. Hanging the head adjustment move the shoulder straps is amazingly simple to adjust. So glad we bought it!
Easy installation
Easy to install! This was recommended to us by our friends due to easy installation and how long kids can use it
Great features
Love this car seat .Previous had one and knew I had to get it again .So easy to install and love the safety features. Plus my baby find the seat so comfortable! 100/10 how recommend!
My baby is so much happier
Baby loves it. She’s comfortable and safe. She use to cry for every car ride with her old car seat now she rarely does! I love that it converts to every stage so we should not have to buy another car seat for her again.
4Ever DLX Review
I bought this for my son about a month ago and am so happy with my purchase. I love this car seat and it feels very safe. My only complaint is that his head sure flops around when he falls asleep but other than that he has so much room and seems to be very comfortable in this seat.
Awesome features, safe and comfortable
Graco baby products are my absolute favorite. This car seat has the best safety rating. My grandson is comfortable while riding and it’s easy to install. I highly recommend this car seat, you can’t go wrong purchasing it.
Get it
Got this as an upgrade from our Graco Go Max, we love it!! Easy to use, easy instructions for installation. Overall just amazing!! We love Graco for the cute colors and awesome safety features
Obsessed with this car seat!
I bough this 4 in 1 car seat after my baby transitioned out of an infant car seat and so far I’m loving it! The color is so cute and my baby seems to be more comfortable in it compared to the infant seat.
Safety and Comfort
We love this car seat! My three year old loves it for its comfort. I love it for its safety and its comfort for her. The installation was easy.
Good Car seat
We moved our 7 month old to this car seat and he loves it. He loves that he can sit up more. I love that it will grow with him and I won't have to get a new one anytime soon
Comfy, cozy ride
Smooth travels after moving my unsettled two month old from an infant carrier to the Graco DLX.
Great for comfort and safety
I wish I got this car seat for my twins! My youngest son looks so comfy in it, I also love the color
We love this car seat!
It’s well built, great quality, comfortable and most importantly safe! This car seat grows with our daughter and is well worth the money for a long term investment! We highly recommend this car seat and brand!
Best value for our needs
This is the second car seat we have bought in this model and I don’t think I have a bad thing to say on it. We purchased one for our first child and it has held up well over 2.5 years. Looked into all options with our second child and decided to stick with what we already love. It is easy to install and move from different vehicles. It grows with our kids and our now 3 year old can even buckle herself. It’s easy to clean top to bottom and the base doesn’t tear up my seats.
10/10
Love this car seat. We switched to this model after our little dude outgrew his infant car seat (from another brand). It was such a pain to get him into the old car seat, but he seems to love this one!
Perfect long term car seat
My kid had outgrown the previous infant car seat and I wanted the safe and comfortable car seat that will go on for a long time. I feel I found the right one in 4Ever 4-in-1. My kid loves this and we can see him comfortable. This seems really sturdy and safe as well. On top of the all this, the car seat is easy to install and makes us happy.
Top Tier Safety and Lasting Life
We love the car seat and our favorite part of it is the top tier saftey rating. We also love that it will last our little one for many years to come. Its surprisingly easy to install and its easy to adjust the straps. Its easy to vacuum out and the color is beautiful.
Decent carseat
Good ratings, easy assembly. Hard to remove cover to clean. No support around the bottom buckle.
4Ever DLX4-in-1
We love this car seat so much this is our 3rd one! our kids love it and super comfortable in it.
Great lifetime seat
Great car seat overall, have 4 of these total. Easy to put together, they grow with your kiddo and are easily adjusted overall. Easy to clean and good color options too.
4ever 4-1
Great seat very pleased w the purchase. Fast shipping as well.
Great Buy
We were tired of switching our Turn2Me back and forth between vehicles, so we bought the DLX. We bought the pink and it’s really a beautiful color. Our daughter loves it and we love how easy it was to install.
Totally recommend
Great seat! Easy to install with clear instructions. 8-month-old little guy fits well and falls asleep when riding in the car.
Great car seat
This is a great car seat that takes you from infant to preteen; the only seat you will need
Graco 4Ever DLX
Loved the blue color offered in this car seat model. We enjoy the cup holders the ease of install and the width the seat has for our growing boy!
Repeat Customer!
I love this car seat, this is my 2nd purchase from Graco and I really appreciate the quality and safety that comes along with the Graco brand.
Would recommend!
Great car seat! It was very easy to install and feels very safe
Easy!
It’s awesome. Haven’t used it much, but it’s easy to install and my little one is comfy and safe
Love it!
Great car seat that will grow with our baby! Comfy and great quality!
Car Seat
Choosing a car seat is one of the most important decisions a parent can make, and this car seat truly stands out as the safest and best option for babies. From the moment it’s installed, you can feel the thoughtful design and attention to safety in every detail. Safety is where this car seat shines. It meets and exceeds all required safety standards and includes advanced side-impact protection, a sturdy frame, and a secure five-point harness that keeps your baby snug without being uncomfortable. The head and neck support are especially impressive, providing excellent protection for newborns and growing infants during every ride. Comfort is another major strength. The padding is soft yet supportive, and the materials are breathable, helping keep your baby comfortable even on longer trips. The seat design keeps babies in a natural, secure position, which is reassuring for parents and soothing for little ones—many babies fall asleep quickly in it. Installation is straightforward and stress-free, with clear indicators that confirm the seat is installed correctly. This is a huge plus, especially for new parents who want confidence that their baby is as safe as possible every time they drive.
Great carseat!
Such a great carseat! Easy to install and my daughter is so comfortable in it!
4Ever® DLX 4-in-1 Car Seat
The best car seat for my 1 year old grandson. Thank you for your high quality & safety standards in this product. I highly recommend your car seat product.
Best product out there
My favorite brand! I originally purchased 2 years ago for my one year old. In our spare car, I got a cheaper carseat from another brand. This cheaper carseat did not feel safe and my son was awkwardly sitting in it. So during the Black Friday sale, I took the plunge to order this one for our spare car. It shipped fast and is so comfortable for my little one. I love how easy it is to install and how much room it has to grow. My son is 3 and still able to sit rear facing which is the safest way. I look forward to using this through the years to adjust as needed. It truly is a one and done purchase to last through early childhood booster seat!
Great car seat
The Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 car seat came with very good instructions on how to install the car seat. I thought the installation process was very easy. It looks like it would be a comfortable car seat to sit in and I’m excited that it will grow with my child as they get older. The infant padding was easy to remove. And I haven’t had to wash anything yet, but the fabric seems like it could be wipeable.
Best seat ever!
Super comfy for my girls. Buckles in tight with no movement. Super easy install!!
Love it
Easy install. Easy adjustments and we got it in the colorful color blocking pattern which looks amazing! It’s refreshing to have such a cool pattern for our son. Usually only the girls get cool patterns.
Mostly fine
It’s mostly fine, it definitely gets the job done and my son seems comfortable enough in it. I’d say the side walls/arm rests are kind of high, so I have to really try to thread the needle so to speak to get him in there. For smaller children, it may be a non issue.
One and Done
We have used this car seat model for all three of our kids since 2016, and is the only one we will ever use or recommend!
Good for 12 month old
Good car seat for a 12 month old. Only complaint is the buckle between the legs has no way of staying up so it slides down underneath the child when they get placed in the seat.
Yes, buy it.
So cute to look at and baby immediately enjoyed the comfortable seating.
Best car seat
Favorite car seat ever! I loved the one for my first child so much it was a no brainer to order another for my second child.
Second one and still loved
Bought this because our youngest couldn’t live without having a seat like her big sis. It’s enjoyed by all, kids and parents alike.
Great features!
My daughter loves her new car seat! It’s comfortable, durable, stylish, and easy to put together and clean!
Loved it so much I bought 2
Love this car seat. I transitioned both my sons to their DLX at 3 months. I love the custom settings!
Great car seat
Both my kids ride in the 4ever dlx and we love them! So easy to install and use.
Safe and pretty
The car seat looks great in my car. It was super simple to setup and my child is safe! A+
Amazing buy!
I bought this because my 2 year old niece was visiting. She loved sitting in it because it was so comfortable. Also, seeing how nice and snug the belts were gave us ease of mind. My sister in law insisted we keep it so now that they are gone we use it for my 3 month old. The ease of going from toddler to infant was amazing. Great strong product! I think the only thing that would make it better is if it swiveled.
The reclined feature is great!
I bought this a couple months ago, and I really appreciate the fact that it is easy to install, has high safety reviews, and it’s easy to transport.
Great for all ages
I’m very happy with this purchase. I have the same seat for my older son and was happy to switch my daughter to it as she got bigger. It’s easy to install and easy to safely buckle the children in.
Great value & easy to us
Such a great purchase! Highly recommend. Easy to use. Great value
Great car seat
We bought this for our daughter recently and it’s a great car seat. It is roomy for her and she is very comfortable in it. Very happy with the purchase.
if you’re thinking of getting this, GET IT!
super cute car seat. Bougie on a budget but also safe for your baby.
Love this car seat!
Love this car seat my baby fits so good in it and I love how it can change with them as they grow. Let’s just say compared to his first car seat he’s a very happy rider now.
Quality growth seat
This has been great for our daughter growing theu the different stages and being able to begin turning forward and still tilt and comfortably sleep. Also very nice and great looking padding for her.
Perfect for us!
I have peace of mind with my squirmy kiddo safe in the back seat! Love that it will grow with her! I also love the manual storage built into the car seat!
Long lasting
Lasts forever, my 7 year old has had this his whole life almost so it was a no brainer for my 2nd born
LOVE
We love this carseat. We went from the Doona to this as a upgrade and we are looking forward to it growing with her. She loves all the room she has now.
Toddler and Parent approved!
Good car seat. 2 year old loves it! Adjusting straps could be easier but overall a great buy.
AMAZING car seat
LOVE LOVE LOVE this car seat! Highly recommend. I purchased this for my first child and loved it so much that I purchased a second for my second child. Very easy to install, super easy to take apart to clean and my kids love it. I purchased the graco slim model and did not like it and neither did my son! I would highly recommend this product to anybody with children and would purchase again and again! Awesome car seat!
Keep your child safety...why not?
Very easy to install and spacious, so my kids stay comfortable during long road trips. It helps them sleep better, and I get time to relax too — definitely worth the price as well.
A reliable, easy-to-clean, and long-lasting car se
The Graco 4Ever DLX SnugLock is hands down the best car seat we have ever owned. Its functionality is unmatched since it grows with your child for up to 10 years, which gives us great peace of mind and reliability. The SnugLock technology makes installation secure and easy. Despite its sturdy size, it fits well in our vehicle and provides top-tier performance in safety. I also love how easy the cleaning process is, as the cover is simple to remove and wash. It is definitely worth every penny for the safety of our little one!
Amazing!
Amazing! Easy to install! I used it for my child from 2 till 6 with all the four in ones and loved it! Very good investment and will last for you as well!
Perfect
As a first time parent safety came first. This seat is sturdy and has great quality. Baby fit perfectly in it and it has transitioned well through the toddler years providing great peace of mind.
Elegant minimalist design with impressive storage
The Living Skog Five Drawer Dresser in Beige is a masterclass in minimalist design. Its clean lines and natural wood-look finish give it a light, airy feel that works perfectly in a modern or Scandinavian-style bedroom. Despite its streamlined profile, the five drawers offer a surprising amount of vertical storage, making it an excellent space-saving solution for smaller rooms. The dresser feels solid and well-balanced, and the drawers pull out smoothly without any sticking. I really appreciate the subtle integrated handles, which keep the front looking sleek and uncluttered. Assembly was straightforward with clear guidance. If you are looking for a piece that is as functional as it is aesthetic, this dresser is a fantastic choice for keeping your space organized and looking professional.
Best car seat
I love how comfortable my baby travels on this. And looks super safe and cozy. Plus easy to clean up if he has a diaper accident.
First responder approved
Love this car seat. My daughter is almost 6 and has used this seat since she was 2. My husband is a firefighter so safety is a top priority in our home and cars. It’s simple to install and fits nicely in our midsize SUV. The straps are all adjustable to fit your personal needs and the cup holders are great for on the go snacking and drinks.
Amazing Car Seat That Grows With Your Child!
I absolutely love the Graco 4Ever 4-in-1 car seat! It's sturdy, comfortable, and very easy to install. I've been using it daily for school drop-offs and long car rides, and my child seems very comfortable and secure. The padding is soft, and I love that it transitions from infant to booster, so it truly grows with your child.
Love this seat
My kids have had this car seat for a little over a a year now, we got them as gifts from a family friend, truthfully these are the best seats in every aspect!
Bomb!
I love the Graco 4Ever Car Seat! It's super easy to install and feels really sturdy. My child seems comfortable, and I appreciate that it grows with them through multiple stages. Definitely worth the investment for peace of mind and everyday use.
Awesome car seat!
Best car seat I've ever had and that's coming from a momma of 4 who has tried every car seat out there known to possibly be safe and reliable
Graco 4Ever 4-in-1 Convertible Car Seat
Very safe, sturdy, and comfortable. Grows with your child and installs easily. Great long-term investment love this car seat The size is just right the buckles are easy to strap
Best convertible car seat!
This is the best convertible car seat! I feel confident that my child is safe, comfortable and secure in this car seat. It is able to meet the needs of my very tall toddler as he quickly grows in height and weight.
You can't beat a Graco
We love our Graco. My husband and I will sometimes share the car seat between our cars so ease of installation is really important to me because I'm the one who moves them back and forth. This car seat is super easy to install. The design is nice, though not as important as safety and I spent a lot of time researching car seats before landing on the Graco. I love it so much I even convinced my boss to purchase the same model for his toddler. My baby looks so cozy in her seat and once we transitioned her from her carrier to this seat, the car ride scaries ended. No more crying in the car.
Great Purchase
We have purchased this car seat for both our kids and they keep making it better. The seat is super comfortable for our kids. It is easy to take apart and clean.
safest car seat ever
We’ve loved the Graco 4Ever DLX. It’s sturdy, easy to adjust, and grows with your child so you’re not constantly buying new seats. The biggest thing for me is that ours was actually involved in a crash, and it did exactly what it was supposed to—kept my child safe. That alone sold me for life. I didn’t even consider trying another seat after that, I just replaced it with the same one. Highly recommend.
Five stars!
We absolutely love our Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 Car Seat! It was amazing on our 7-hour road trip—our baby stayed comfortable the entire time with no fussing. The padding is super cushioned, and the multiple recline positions really helped keep her relaxed for long stretches. I also love how easy it is to adjust the harness and headrest as she grows—no rethreading needed, which is a huge plus. Installation felt secure and straightforward, and knowing it’s designed to last up to 10 years gives us so much peace of mind. It truly feels like the only car seat we’ll ever need. If you’re looking for something safe, comfortable, and perfect for long drives, this is 100% worth it!
Best Carseat!
I will always recommend this carseat to my friends and family having babies! Between comfort, ease of installation, safety, and it’s ability to be used from birth until they grow out of it; it has been my go to carseat for both of my babies!
Best car seat ever !
I absolutely love this car seat. It’s so easy to install and comfortable for my 1 year old. I got it in the pink color and it’s beautiful !!!
Best car seat!
Super easy install. My daughter was so comfortable in it. The color is beautiful. We love it!
Good value
We started using this car seat a few weeks ago. It’s easy to install and adaptable. So far a good value and will likely buy another soon for a 2nd car.
Overall its great!
Does all the things I need it to do in terms of securing my little one safely. However I do find its a bit bulky of a fit for smaller cars (I drive a crosstrek). So getting little one in and out feels a bit tight around the door, and I find the front seats need to be pushed closer to the dashboard than one might like. Also, the cup holders dont seem to snap into place, so if you have a curious child expect to find the cup holders removed often.
Great purchase!
Love that it is a forever carseat! Definitely worth the purchase.
Great Upgrade!
I upgraded my daughter to the Graco 4ever DLX 4-in-1 car seat after her first birthday, and honestly wish I would have done it a lot sooner! I absolutely love how easy it was to install. It has seatbelt style harness clips for the base so I can swap it from my car to a grandparents car quick and easily. My daughter has gone from crying in car rides to actually being able to “enjoy” them, I think it is because she is sitting up higher than her infant carrier car seat and it is much more spacious. Great quality. Easy to take apart and clean when milk spills happen. Overall I am really happy with it.
Easy carseat
Easy to install and easy to use. Also love the colorful design!
Perfect car seat!
Great car seat, super adaptable and very durable! Highly recommend!
Graco is reliable
This car seat has seen my son from Infancy to age 5 and it is still going strong! It’s easy to keep clean. He loves the double cup holders. I enjoy the fact that it extends up and up towards the top of the car to keep moving up as he grows. The extra padding when he was an infant was great to keep him safe! It’s truly a reliable car seat from Graco!!
I love this chair for my baby
Excellent value for money safety and durability is one of the most balanced options of the brand designed specifically for parents will prioritize an installation too much space length in the car perfect size very spacious for my baby works perfectly seat width of approximately 19 inches (48 cm) Counter-facing use specifications from 2.2 to 18 kg (5-40lb
Easy assemble
Good car seat! We used it on a 10-hour road trip from Nashville to Florida, and overall it was very good. It's easy to clean, but the padding could be better, especially on the head. My toddler took three good naps and had no trouble staying in it for hours! The straps could use some magnetic features to make strapping easier. I love the idea of extending the foot space because I plan to keep the forward leg as long as possible. We didn't use the cup holder for cups, but it was great for storing the Tonie character, hahaha! However, the cup holders are very hard to install.
Affordably SAFE seat to grow with my daughter.
Was in the market for upgrading my daughter’s seat and came across this lifesaver. Literally perfect fit for my Jeep (GC) my passenger seat can move back and they can finally have leg room. The extra cushions in the seat are a bonus if you have a smaller child like myself. Great back and head / neck support for the most part. When she falls asleep her head goes down sometimes but I think that will happen with any seat. The seatbelts have extra pads so the straps aren’t rubbing her neck which is greattttt. Has a reclining options and adjustable headrest. You can literally use this seat till they are in a backless booster seat. So being able to watch her go through the phases is bitter sweet but for one affordable price is amazing.
Safely to use this car seat
My baby have been using this for 3 months,it's safely to use,made he comfortable to sitting,it's fit with him just only 3 months. High quality customizable seat belts,it's good to use,until right now my baby getting big more and can't reuse anymore
A comfortable, easy-to-install car seat that grows with your child and makes every ride stress-free.
I've had this Graco 4-in-1 car seat for my child basically forever, and I still love it just as much as when I first bought it. The padding is super comfortable and supportive, which makes long rides easier on my little one. The recline options are great and actually make a difference, especially for naps. I love the built-in cup holders - they're sturdy, easy to clean, and actually usable. The features are very well thought out, and I really appreciate how this seat grows with your child. Assembly was straightforward and not complicated at all, which was a huge plus. I bought mine from Costco and would absolutely recommend it to other parents.
Love the features
The features simply make sense. The design is great, and there are no "gimmicky" features. Looking forward to using this for a long time
Multiple features!
I did a lot of research before buying a car seat and this one checked all the boxes. The safety rating, comfort and installation from vehicle to vehicle. I also love the color options that are available! My daughter loves her new seat so much she can see out the window and is very comfortable. The car seat also will follow her until she is out of the booster seat which was another done deal for us. No one shopping around just one and done!
Great Car Seat
Easy to install, fits nicely in my car, my baby likes it!
Great features
Great car seat. Easy to install and remove. Washing the fabric is a nice feature
Easy to use
I bought 3 for my first daughter and recently purchased another for my second. Now all the grandparents have the best car seats around. Love these seats.
Will recommend to everyone!
Our family purchased this in November 2024 for our first child and have absolutely loved it. It’s very easy to adjust and fairly easy to install. The removable inserts were helpful for when the baby was smaller and needed the extra support. Baby seemed very comfortable in it and even now as a toddler seems happy in it and has plenty of room to grow!
We love this car seat
This car seat has been a tremendous car seat for us. We originally used the Graco infant car seat so we knew we wanted to continue using Graco for the transition seat. No complaints at all and the color hasn’t been bad at all showing dirt or anything .
Graco 4ever dlx
I absolutely love this seat! We have an older model for my 6 yr old that she has had since she was 7 mos. Naturally when it came time for my son to get a bigger seat we knew we wanted the same one. It feels so safe and secure! It’s held up and been out through the wringer with my other child, so I knew getting another one would last just as long. These things are not only safe, but they hold their value. You get your moneys worth!
Worth it!
Best car seat! My little one loves it and never claims when he is in it.
Great seat
I purchased this seat for my daughter after her infant bucket seat. We have had it for about a month now and we love it. I love that it has multiple recline options and that I just have to raise the headrest to adjust the straps. My daughter seems to fit in it pretty well and it was really easy to install with the snug lock technology. It takes literally less than a minute to get a good install.
Safe and good Quality car seat
I got this one for my daughter and she really likes it and does not fuzz at all on long rides. Grateful I got this one
Great feature
Been having this car seat for 6 years fabric still feels like new …
Best Car seat!
It’s been about A month or 2 since me & my husband purchased this item. My baby now LOVESSSSSS car rides and feels so comfortable in her car seat! Very easy installation and adjustment! Baby’s can get messy and i love how i can take off the padding and throw it in the washer! I 100% recommend this item if your baby gets fussy in other car seats, this car seat fixed my problems! I have such attachment issue lol and i love how i can keep this car seat as she grows up! i love how it grows up with her<3 Thank you Graco!!!!
Car Seat
Great, but little pricey…….. ……………………………………………………….
Perfect fit for my Suburban
I love that these seats are able to be used for longer than a year. Being adjustable makes it easier for kids to be rear facing longer. The available colors help make it more personal for you as well as for your child if you have multiples in the same style seat. I am able to fit 3 of these seats comfortably in the middle row of a chevy Suburban.
Amazing!
I got these to allow more leg room for my rear-facing kids and to have the ability to grow with them. -very easy to install and very secure. -lots of leg room for rear facing kiddos. -easy and multiple base adjustments allowing better comfort and ability to grow with for kids, and easier install ability (help to make seat level in vehicle.) -level on side helps for safe installation -height (back/head part) easily adjustable no need to rethread straps! (One of my favorite features) -insert padding is are already in place and easiest removable Note these are not slim fitting!! I have a toyota corrolla, 3 of these will not fit in the back row, I know this is important to some families. I got the blue and pink seats. The website picture for the pink doesmt do justice way cuter in person.
Functional. Beautiful. Budget Friendly compared to thousand dollars worth of car seat. I initially had the Nuna Exec for my first child. My baby seemed even more comfortable on the Graco now that she is growing up. There is ease of use with easy hookups of safety straps. Love this car seat. They are comfortable in it Bought it for both my kids.
Our favorite seat!
I bought this a month ago to upgrade my 8 month old since i was tired of lugging around the newborn car seat. it was a game changer! it fit perfectly and the multiple recline options were perfect for my son still being smaller to lean back like his previous seat. It also seems to be much more comfier for him as he doesn’t have an issue being in the seat as much. Installation was a breeze as well!
I bought this about a month ago, no complaints from me so far. I love it
Would give it zero stars if possible
Impossible to install in the back middle seat of a mid size SUV, which is the safest place for a car seat. It pushed my 18 month old's chin into his chest even at the most reclined option. His head flops around like a ragdoll even when going over small bumps. Returned and purchased a similar one from Chico and it is a thousand times better. Returned it in late April and have still not received a refund. Terrible customer service.
Bought for each one of my grandchildren. Love how they grow with your child
Carseat
It’s awesome! Couldn’t ask for a better car seat for my kids! I love how it grows with them!
Perfect gift
Very happy bought as a gift it’s perfect Easy to install and child can grow with it
Bulky but seems comfortable
My baby hated his newborn bucket and often cried during car rides. For his first birthday, we upgraded to the 4Ever DLX and he doesn’t make a peep anymore. It’s easier for him to look out the windows, it seems more comfortable for him and he loves putting toys in the cup holders. We often move it between cars so I really appreciate the easy latch system too. It is quite bulky and requires us to move the front seat forward in my husbands sedan but it’s manageable and would be our only complaint.
Highly recommended
This chair is highly recommended. It's easy to install and, above all, easy to use. We're very happy we bought this product and hope to use it for many years.
My son had this seat when he was about 8 months and absolutely loved it. I would still be using it now but we were in a accident so that seat had to be replaced.
Mediocre at best, doesn’t tighten enough
I really don’t love this car seat. The quality of the fabric is very very nice, comparable to the luxury car seat that we have. However, it is almost impossible for us to get this car seat secure. I have read the manual and watched their installation video and my car seat still moves around like crazy. My nuna and britax do not have this issue. I also don’t like that the should straps are so low behind her. If I raise the headrest to raise the straps the headrest is too high. Honestly, I was hoping for more functionally. Won’t be buying graco again and won’t be recommending to anyone.
Latches
I specifically bought this carseat bc it was the push button latch...unfortunately when I got it out it was not its the older style latches.
Questionable safety
My son’s leg keeps getting stuck in the sides and it doesn’t seem to be taken seriously by the company. It’s leaving bruising and marks. All that was mentioned is how in the picture I showed that his chest clip wasn’t high enough-she said it’s needs to be to his armpits however the fire fighters said it needs to be at the nipples. Before it is questioned, the infant inserts come with a piece that blocks that section in the side, however it is to be removed at a pretty early point. I’m worried my son’s leg will be broken or that his hips will be dislocated. There has to be a better and safer design.
Worth the expense!
What I love about this car seat is not only the excellent quality and design, but also the fact that it’s adjustable up until age 10. My grandchildren love this car seat. It’s comfortable for them!
Love this carseat
I love that this car seat grows with my grandkids!! Durable, comfortable, sturdy. Thank you Graco
Poor Installation Safety
This is third car seat I’ve had, it doesn’t get tight enough no matter what I’ve done to install it. Spend your money on a quality product that installs safely
Horrendous - do not buy
Worst designed product I have come across in a long time. Unnecessarily complex, unintuitive, and horrendous user guide. They even have incorrect instructions on their video which seems more concerned with getting sweeping shots than conveying helpful information…. And that’s just installation, do not get me started on the terrible user design, which has no helpful support either. Totally useless - do not buy.
Great car seat but not FR free
Our toddler is comfortable and has impressive safety ratings. Only down side is no option for a flame retardant free car seat, and instead a naturally resistant fabric.
Did its job very well!
I was in a car accident where I was tboned on the front passenger door which is the side where I had my 3 yr old. The car was totaled and my knee got pretty banged up, tearing my ACL. My son obviously scared and cried for a while but he did not have a single scratch or bruise on him. I have no doubt that was thanks to this carseat! I was so impressed and grateful I bought the exact same one to replace the one in the accident. I recommend this carseat 100% again and again! Thank you Graco for keeping my baby safe!

Costco deal and general recommendation
We got this seat from Costco and it's been great. The price was hard to beat and it does the job. My kid seems comfortable and it was fairly easy to install. For the price, it's a solid choice.

Parents of multiples find it reliable but note infant fit issues
We have two of these for our twins. They've held up well and we feel safe. However, when they were newborns, the headrest pushed their heads forward. We used rolled blankets until they grew into it. Overall, we're happy, but I wish the infant positioning was better.

Fits well in larger vehicles, but bulky for small cars
I have a minivan so it fits fine, but I tried it in my sister's Honda Civic and it was a tight squeeze rear-facing. The seat itself is comfortable for my 2-year-old and I love that it will last forever. Installation was a bit of a learning curve but now it's easy.

Positive experience after a car accident
We were in a fender bender and my son didn't even wake up. The seat did its job. I trust Graco and will buy again. Yes, it's not the fanciest, but safety and price can't be beat.

Mixed feelings on infant use and comparison to infant seats
We got this as our convertible seat but ended up buying an infant seat because the baby looked so uncomfortable in the 4Ever as a newborn. Now at 6 months it's much better. I think it's a good seat, just not great for tiny babies.

Comparison with Nuna and installation pros/cons
We have both a Nuna Rava and this Graco DLX. The Graco is our second seat for my husband's car. It's not as plush and the install isn't as foolproof, but for the price, it's great. My daughter seems equally comfortable in both. The Rapid Remove cover is a nice feature.
