Graco Car Seats Review

One thing to consider when purchasing a car seat is the safety features. While all car seats should protect your child’s head and neck, Graco car seats are especially designed with the torso and side impact in mind. The ProtectPlus tech in Graco seats helps protect your child in all possible ways, not just against the head. It even features a side impact protection system that works without your child being aware of it.

Graco’s smallest car seat is its MySize 65, which is almost identical to the Graco Size4Me. It can support up to 65 pounds, but it doesn’t feel as solid as others. Although it contains EPS energy-absorbing foam, the harness is flimsy and difficult to tighten. Also, the lower buckle was too big for my chubby thighs.

Graco has been facing mounting pressure due to the faulty buckles on its infant car seats. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ordered a series of tests to see how long it takes the buckle to unbuckle the infant. This could lead to death or serious injury. This is why Graco agreed to recall over 1.9 million infant car seats, but has since delayed the recall. It also has a list of replacement parts for these seats.

Graco makes three types of seats, including the Backless TurboBooster, the Extend2Fit 3-in-1, and a Graco 3-in-1 convertible car seat. The Graco Backless TurboBooster can be used as a rear-facing seat until your child is 50 pounds. The Extend2Fit 3-in-1 can be used as a booster or rear-facing harness seat. Graco offers a removable cushion for comfort and can be machine-washed. It also comes with a cupholder.

Graco’s SlimFit 3-in-1 Car Seat is an ideal replacement for multiple car seats. The slimfitt 3-in-1 allows your child to ride in the rear-facing position until they reach 40 pounds. At the same time, the slimfit 3-in-1 transforms into a booster seat and accommodates kids up to 100 pounds. The slimFit 3-in-1 is compatible with a variety of vehicles, so your child can continue to use it as he or she grows.

For the newest model years, the Diono Radian 3RXT has been upgraded with additional safety features. It has a steel frame and a reinforced memory foam lining. It can convert from a rear-facing seat for infants to a front-facing seat for toddlers. You can also convert it to a high-back belt-positioning booster seat for older children. The Diono Radian 3RXT weighs just under thirty-five pounds and can fold for easy storage.
