The only issue it that it is extremely difficult to tighten. I use two hands & have to practically pull up with my entire upper body. It's very challenging.

Large car seat but that makes for all the more comfortable... My son had one & loved it so we bought one for our 1yo daughter.

I wasn't ready for her to move into a bigger car seat. An Im VERY picky when it comes to buying a seat safe for her. This car seat went above an beyond my expectations!! So easy to install an gives me a peace of mind knowing she is safe an snug. I recommend this seat to all my mommy friends!

Graco is my #1 brand for baby products. I have used Graco for 30 years and will continue to always use and recommend Graco to friends and family.

It is a great car seat, but an older model so if you are new to the game I would suggest to look elsewhere. The only physical negative about the seat are the clips, they are too the older version metal clips. Nothing terrible but not easy for my mother to get out of her if needed. But my daughter loved the seat and I loved the look.

My little one loves it, I had one similar for my other one and he loves it just as much. Big, roomy and comfortable. It does take up allot of space but as long as my little one is safe and comfortable that's all that matters to me.

We have 2 of these seats and in general, they are ok. Here are my issues: 1) Straps: The straps are hard to tighten (we pull up and down on the tightening strap to see what works) and it's just a pain. I practically have to get halfway in the car to get the leverage needed to tighten properly. And, when I unbuckle them, it always seems that the strap is looser than when I buckled them in. 2) RATTLING: This by far is the most annoying part - the adjustable headrests rattle non-stop. Rattling, squeaking and it makes every drive unbearable. I have tried putting something behind them, adjusting them, and also adjusting my car headrests all the way up and down. Nothing works. It is terrible and I am now researching new car seats because I don't think I can live with this until they both move into booster seats.

My wife and I bought this. It has been reliable but makes a horrible rattle. The child's head rest/support jingles and it is 6 inches behind the drivers side head rest so everywhere we go it just constantly rattles like a bell. It also has the old school clips for the seat anchors and not the new button release. That's not a huge deal but it does make it much more challenging to securely remove and install these. The buckle and tightening strap are nearly useless when it comes to removing the unit.

I bought this over a month ago and it is perfect. We have purchased 3 of them so Mon, dad and grandma each have one. Thank you for having such a great product

Fits securely and seems comfortable for my little dude. I wish it had two cup holders, but overall it's a great seat.

Great seat for when they outgrow the infant carrier. Washes up nicely.

We bought this a couple months ago and use it for our 23 lb 15 month old. She is smaller for her age but this car seat is so comfortable for her! It was very easy to install and has stayed nice and snug in our car. I have a smaller car and the passenger side still has plenty of leg room with this seat installed in the back.

I pitched a month ago .. and I have two toddlers and my younger was moving up to covertable so I need one that would fit next to my oldest and they fit perfect side by side .. enough to flip the other seat in older to get to the third row of my Tahoe

I was looking for something comfortable and to use long term. So far so good. Some people stated this seat was bulky but it was fine in my car. The only small issue I have so far is that when my son sleeps the top is so wide his head falls to the side a little bit. I have been meaning to research this to some if there is a "fix" or "trick" but have not gotten around to it yet.

My toddler loves his car seat. It's so comfy & nicely cushioned. The cup holder is a huge deal for us! This was one of the best purchases we've made. He's been in this car seat ever since he outgrew his infant seat & will be in this for awhile longer. So happy with this.

Love car seat and so does my son the only thing that we don't like is the challenge of installing it, that was harder then our other graco car seats that we have. Overall though it's a great seat

Purchased this car seat and it immediately started rattling in the car. Tried everything to stop it including stuffing a rag behind the adjustable headrests/harness strap. That is what is rattling. The rattling is so loud it can be heard over the radio. I thought maybe I just had a defective one but I have swapped it out THREE times and have the same exact issue. I started thinking it was just this model so we bought a Graco Sequel 65 and it rattled even worse! So we thought maybe we would spend more money and decided to get the Graco 4ever and it rattles too! We finally decided to go with another brand that also has the adjustable headrest and harness and it's solid and does not make a noise. These car seats are just made very cheaply.

I have this for my one year old and recently bought one for my niece because I love it so much and wanted her to have the best of the best! This a great comfortable car seat and the price is right! I highly recommend!!

We are pleased with the car seat. It was in a price range that we could afford while also being safe for our little one. I would recommend!

I bought this carseat for my husband's car, and we love it. I use the 4ever Extend2fit for an every day carseat in my car, but this model is just as impressive. My son seems very comfortable, and the carseat is very sturdy and stable. It is a great fit in my husband's smaller sedan. 100% recommend!

Great seat. 2nd one we have bought for another vehicle. My only complaint is how large it is but on the other hand my child is comfortable and Safe!

Love this car seat! I was in search of a convertible car seat as my granddaughter is of an age to ride forward facing, now. I also wanted something that would last for the next few years. This car seat is very nice looking, of wonderful quality and it is so simple to use. Whether I am switching the seat from rear facing to forward facing, or vice versa, it is so simple to do. Also, the shoulder and lap strap adjustment is super efficient. This grandma has never experienced a car seat that is so user friendly. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends.

I bought this seat for a grandchild where I have to switch seats often. The main draw was the lighter weight (easier for switching) than many convertible seats, ease of installation, and the price. These are all good. My one complaint is what many have expressed, seemingly for years. The button to loosen the straps when taking the child out of the seat is very very difficult to access given its location right up against the back seat when in the rear facing position, and that it is all covered up. I don't have to use this seat everyday, but if I did this annoyance would keep me from buying this seat again.

My daughter and I looked at many car seats and she picked this out for the great features and for my car. They bought a very expensive car seat and love mine so much more! Very slight head incline but enough her head does not fall forward.

We bought this to use as a backup in our second car. It's easy to use and install and is lightweight which makes it easy to travel with! We like it because it is easy to use when we are in someone else's car as we can use the seat belt to secure it. The only negative thing I can say about it is that the area where you have to push to release the straps is a bit awkward, you have to have your thumb at the right angle in order to be able to press it. But other than that we are happy with this purchase!

I was looking for compact yet comfortable car seats for my 9 month old twins.. Loved the size and quality. I think we'll get several years of use out of them.

I have Contenders for both my kids (one rear-facing, one forward-facing) and we are so happy with them. They're easy to adjust/remove and clean, as well as comfortable and secure.

I love how this reclines, when a child falls asleep in this chair (like they always do) their heads are so much more supported and does not strain their neck. Very easy to clean.

I love the design of this car seat and it's easy to install. I love how easy it is to adjust as they grow! Super comfy for my little one too.

So comfy and stylish!! My little man loves his convertible chair and rides much more comfortably.

My in laws got baby this seat for their van at first. It has never disappointed. At first it took time to find the right height for the safest application but now that we got our own seat and it's easy to adjust. We are happy so far

This carseat is great! Superior padding. Very easy to set up. We will get many years use out if this.

This is our second one of these car seats, used for two different kiddos and I LOVE IT! This pattern is so cute and could be gender neutral

My son absolutely loves his new seat. It is the perfect size also. The seat I have for my daughter is big and bulky, his seat has the same rating as hers and is more compact. I will be getting her the same seat.

Bought this almost a month ago & i love it! I just wish it had 2 cup holders instead of 1.

I bought this a few months ago since my child is going to start growing out of his current infant car seat. He likes the seat and he is able to move around and stretch without the canopy or a handle being in the way.

This careseat is very comfortable for my grandson and easy to use. I feel he is very safe in it.

Both this during a sale, excellent purchase. It's very easy to use, easy in and out. I can't believe products like this don't cost a lot more. It's got enough room to easily maneuver kiddo in and out without extra time and fussing.

Purchased direct from company. It took longer to receive due to flooding in California. Once I got it I was pretty pleased with it. Only problem was the bottom buckle is too far down but took out the extra padding and it came up further off the leg/hip area.

Our family has loved this car seat! It was easy to install, which was a plus since our previous car seat was not. It was quite comfy - our one year old slept through all of our longer trips (3ish hours) and even some of the shorter trips, despite him not being the greatest car sleeper. It was easy to adjust to fit our son just right and the cup holder was convenient for holding drinks/snacks/toys throughout our trips. It's also much easier to keep clean than our last car seat. Overall, a great buy for our family!

I bought one for my 4 month old grandson and one for my 2 year old granddaughter. This seat fits them both perfectly. I love that it grows with them. It's a sturdy seat and very easy to install

The solid construction of this chair gives us such peace of mind that our littles are properly protected if ever the need should arise. We love it so much we got a second for our other car!

I have had this car seat for almost 6 months now and the only complaint I have is that the strap to tighten the seat down is hard to pull. Other than that I feel that my child is safe and comfortable.

It's an excellent choice because it's super functional for newborns to toodlers! I'm so happy with this!

Our two year old girl was starting to feel cramped in her old car seat so we snagged this one during a sale. Oh my gosh, she loves it! It's so big and comfy and it has two cupholders! You can tell she's much happier in this seat! :)

Purchased this about 3-4 months ago and it is really nice. it is convertible to sitting position as well as lay down positions.

The car seat is not too big, simple but effective with one cup holder, and fairly easy to install. The one absolutely horrible aspect is the release for the buckle. I still have no idea of the best way to push it without almost breaking my finger every time. If I would have known, I would have willingly spent twice the amount for that functionality.

We bought this as a travel seat, but it's now become our default seat. It's not too heavy (15lbs, not difficult to move around with the help of a cart or luggage strap), installation with a seatbelt is straightforward, and it's wide enough on the inside to make my big toddler comfortable.

This car seat will get my child through till she doesn't need one any more! Great purchase.

We needed a second car seat for hubby's car and this seat just happened to be on sale. Once we got it I noticed how big and comfy it was for our growing boy! It is sturdy and spacious. We love it!
