Graco 4Ever DLX Grad 5-in-1 Car Seat, Harrison Infant, Toddler, Booster, Convertible Car Seat, Features Slim Fit and Removable Seat Belt Trainer

We love this car seat, very nice cushions, padding and design. However the booklet instructions it comes with seem over complicated. We had to watch an installation video from someone on YouTube because the booklet reads like gibberish (or we’re just dumb?), it took us an hour to try to install it when trying to follow booklet instructions. It was installed in 10 minutes once we watched a video. The hardest part was getting the seatbelt harness buckled through both sides of the seat, I definitely needed my husband for this job and he struggled to get both sides buckled. Once installed, the car seat feels rock solid after we both tried to yank on it, and our little boy falls asleep on every car ride! Win win!

My kid has been using the Doona for the first 13 months of his life, and while they are rated for 40+lbs, it was getting pretty cramped for his 25lb self. This seat gives him plenty of room to wiggle about, while also keeping him safe and comfortable enough to fall asleep for long periods on road trips. I have zero complaints.

Perfect upgrade from my LO current car seat. I love The recliner option on it. Much cheaper on Amazon as well than other sites like Target

Honestly why buy something else. This is the best. We drive a Honda odyssey and it fits perfectly in the captain chairs

My older child has one just like it, so now it’s time to upgrade my baby to a bigger car seat! Can’t wait to not have to carry his other car seat all over!

Love it,

It's a Graco, made well, good safety. As with most carseats, it's a pain to get installed but once in, it's snug and our girl loves it. Plenty of padding, feelinga and looks comfy enough when I see her in it. I am Glad to have something to last us through toddlerhood and needing a booster seat. We bought this for once she outgrew the infant car seat and we just ended up switched completely once it arrived. I Would recommend and buy again. We bought 2 for both of our cars, it is Not feasible to move and install from vehicle to vehicle imo.

After reviewing quite a few other brands for a convertible carseat, we finally settled on this one! Few things to mention first: I (small woman) installed this carseat myself without difficulty. Carseat is installed in a 2021 Chevy Equinox LT, using the latch system. Drivers seat is set for my height to drive (I'm 5'3", so close to the steering wheel). Carseat in picture is set at recline position 1, and head position 2.Shipping: Arrived within 2 days of ordering. The box arrived slightly damaged with the top tape popped, but the side tape still intact. Manufacturers date is 2022, so maybe the tape was just old. Everything looked brand new upon opening the box. So my worries of it being a return were addressed.Carseat: Color we purchased was "bryant". I thought, based on the Amazon pictures, that this would be variants of grays, it is not. The bordering is dark grey, then a heathered brownish/purple, then the mesh is a light grey. For spending nearly $400, I am accepting of the color.Rear facing: In other reviews, there seemed to have been some confusion about the maximum weight range for rear-facing. The manual that comes with the carseat explains further that the actual maximum weight for rear facing is indeed 40lbs. See attached photo. Some reviews say it's only 22lbs, this is not true. Manual states any infant under 1 years of age and up to 22lbs, MUST be rear facing. But the carseat allows rearfl facing to be used up to 40lbs. So you do actually get your money's worth in rear facing.Straps: The height of the shoulder straps adjust as you adjust the head height position. There are 10 available positions. My 9 month old, who is currently 29" tall, has the head rest position at 2 out of 10. This fits her very comfortably with all the infant inserts still in use. With the infant insert, there is only 1 setting for the groin buckle, however. Which I was concerned about. Little one fits just fine in it, but if you have a boy or a chunkier bottom baby, and need the infant insert, you might consider this. There are 2 settings for the groin buckle when the infant insert is removed though.Other: The carseat is a decent weight. I was able to carry it though, and I don't see it being an issue when transferring it to my husband's vehicle.Installation: This was simple and easy as well, when I followed the manual direction. I used the latch system as it actually resolved another issue another review had. When I used the shoulder and lap belt, I was able to tild the entire carseat forward to the backseat headrest. That meant to me, that the carseat would easily flip my child forward into the backseat headrest. Not ok with that! So I used the latch system instead and when installed as the manual instructs (push down on the carseat base and pull the latch strap up), this thoroughly secured the carseat! There is hardly any movement of the carseat with the latch system.Overall: I think this is a great purchase, it fits in my Equinox beautifully and I can see that getting little one in and out will be a breeze! READ THE MANUAL, it's there for a reason. I know I'm getting comfort, safety, and security with this purchase. I would buy this again for our future little ones! Hope this detailed review helps. I do NOT get paid for reviews, I just thought other parents would appreciate a thorough review, as that is what I was looking for when considering this carseat.
