Comfy, Safe, and Easy to Use!
March 10, 2021
I think this is at least the 5th infant car seat I've used, and it's by far my favorite. I appreciate the added safety of the anti-rebound bar to further stabilize the seat in the event of an accident. I worried that with that feature the base would not fit in our car, but it went in, no problem - as easily as any other base I've installed. So it seems like a no-brainer to have that added safety with no extra effort. There are other upgrades that make me feel like this car seat is so fancy, in addition to being practical & sturdy. My two favorite features are the one-hand adjustable handle and the easily adjustable harness. With every other infant seat I've used, the handle requires two hands to adjust. It's a minor hassle, but a hassle nonetheless - especially when you're trying to get multiple kids/things out the door. Also with all our other infant seats, I had to adjust the harness by threading it through varied slots on the frame. It's always a pain, because you have to guess which slot to thread the shoulder straps, and then test it out with the baby inside. And then potentially readjust (by taking baby out and unthreading/re-threading, and then re-testing baby). Again, it's not a huge hassle, BUT it's something you have to take time to do, ideally when you're not scrambling to get out the door. And if you have more than one kid, or a job to get to, or any place to go with a time commitment, you'll appreciate the benefit of having a car seat that you can adjust immediately, with the child resting in it. Other features I appreciate are the upscale-looking (and feeling) padding, the large sunshade that extends quietly, and the compatibility of the seat with the Graco click Connect system. We have several click Connect bases in various cars. This seat fits in those. It also clicks into a Graco travel system stroller I got 5 years ago (shown in photos), and well as a Graco double stroller I got last year. I'm definitely a fan! Many thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for gifting me this in exchange for my honest review.
