Great!

Posted by: lmac2387
Upon opening the box I felt that the car seat looked very durable and had a nice style to it. I installed the car seat using the latch system which anchored into hooks in my car. It was fairly easy to do, but I always run into a problem of not having enough strength to tighten them all the way so extra muscle for this step is helpful! Once we installed the car seat I realized that the seat was reclined too much for my daughter and so I easily was able to pull the latch and slide it into the correct recline position for my oldest with ease! My favorite part about this is that, unlike MANY other car seats I’ve had, you don’t have to completely unhook the seat just to adjust the recline! It makes it so much easier to adjust the recline as my child grows! And let’s just talk about the harness for a second! Can you say amazing?! Not having to rethread every time to adjust the height for a growing toddler is IDEAL so this feature makes the car seat a dream! The only problem we had was the cup holders not staying on! In all I’d give the car seat 2 thumbs up! Thank you weeSpring parent panel for providing me with this car seat

Finally a No Hassle All in One

It’s so stressful to find a seat that will give you everything you’re looking for: safety, ease of use, how long will it last, affordable, comfortable....the list can seem overwhelming and never ending. Look no further! This seat is everything you need. We have already recommended this to a couple friends as we cannot wrap our heads around how simple this has made our adjuments and swaps from car to car and from child to child. I have a one year old rear facing, 4 year old forward facing and a 7 year old able to use a booster. This seat covers them all with ease. To adjust to each of their needs, I couldn’t believe how quick and EFFICIENT it was using the latch system. The ability to recline without uninstalling was a breeze but my FAVORITE feature is the ability to adjust the straps WITHOUT having to uninstall and take apart the whole seat to re-thread them at a higher height!! AMAZING!!! This is a game changer. Having had to do this process in the past with other model seats...let me tell you... it’s tedious and time consuming. No worries if you do need to take it apart to wash though. This does seem to come apart more easily than other models. Some other features I like are that it has two cup holders: one for snacks and one for a drink. I also really liked the material the cover is made of. Living in Florida, cars heat up very quickly and this seat doesn’t hold the heat as much. Thank you WeeSpring Parent Panel for providing the Recline N’ Ride car seat. We are in love with it.

Awesome car seat for many ages and stages!

The new Graco Recline N' Ride 3-in-1 Car Seat is a great seat for many ages and stages. There are lots of great features to this seat. I love that it can be reclined while installed, especially for a young baby who might be picky about the position in the car. I also love that the harness doesn't need to be re-threaded to adjust the strap height. It's great that my children could use the seat interchangeably without always taking it out, re-threading and re-installing! What an excellent feature! The seat was easy to install with the seatbelt, both rear and forward facing in our Honda Odyssey. Unlike some other convertible seats, I really like that this one seems cozy and secure for small babies but also is comfortable for my 4 year old. The option to recline it is easily my favorite feature because it makes it versatile. There were two downsides of this car seat in my opinion. One con I have found is that it is extremely heavy, making it difficult to move between cars if necessary. The other is that it's a wide seat and wouldn't fit three across in my car. Besides those two minor flaws, I think this is an excellent, versatile new seat! Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this car seat!

Easiest car seat to Install EVER!!
on June 16, 2018
Posted by: Momof3OH
First I would like to thank WeeSpring parent panel for the opportunity to use and review Graco Recline ‘N Ride 3 in 1 car seat. I decided to use it for my 4 year old as a forward facing 5 point harness car seat. She is about 40 lbs and around 44” tall. There is a handle underneath the front edge of the car seat under the strap tightener that can recline the seat. All you do is squeeze the handle and tilt the seat up. It’s that easy. She enjoys that I can recline the seat so she can sleep in the car seat in a more comfortable position. I have 3 children and installed many different brands of car seats and this was the easiest car seat to install ever!! I wish all the car seats I had were that easy. I also enjoyed that I only had to re-thread the crotch buckle and not the top 2 shoulder straps in the seat. They adjust with the headrest. I would highly recommend this car seat if you are looking for a extended use car seat for your child.

Great features!

The awesome team at Weespring gave me this car seat in return for my honest review.
- I thought this car seat would be perfect for my three-year Old who has been using a hand me down Recaro car seat from a big sister. Once I opened the box I liked the overall look right away. The color is nice and the fabric looks like it will be easy to clean. That is very important to me, as car seats and up being really gross after a couple weeks of use.
- The ability to recline while they are sitting in it is absolutely amazing. I love that option!
- The cupholders weren’t too bulky and I feel like they will be easy to clean. I’ve had a nightmare of a time with an old carseat that got melted crayon in it and I could never quite get it out.
- I tried buckling the car seat in with the latch system and seatbelt to see how both worked. The latch system was fairly easy, but I had quite an issue trying to seatbelt the car seat in while foreword facing because I felt like I couldn’t get the seatbelt through the back area. I think if someone we’re going to just use the seatbelt option, that they should be ready to have to try and fish the seatbelt through the back a couple times before they actually get it completely through. I did like that it had the ability to clasp in the shoulder belt strap! So awesome!
- I love the no re-thread harness! I have seven children and foster children as well and so my life is spent installing car seats. It can be a huge pain to have to install and clean car seats ans adjuat the harness....What a stress-saving idea!
Overall, I’m very happy with this car seat and it appears that my child is too!

I will preface with the fact that I have been using a 6-7 year old car seat that has been through my first two and although nothing wrong with it this recline and ride takes car seats to a whole other level. First, it is so easy to latch into place. Second, it is more streamlined and lighter than my previous ones. Third, it is just so simple to pull the top lever and recline so not to interrupt a sleeping baby (no more bobble headed sleeping). Finally, I think extremely smart, the cups are removable so you can pull them out to clean in the sink... no more having to take the entire seat out to clean inside of them. The entire seat cover is so simple to pull on and off when it needs to be washed. I am so extremely grateful to WeeSpring parent panel for the opportunity to try this new car seat because I now don’t feel guilty taking a little one for a ride when I know they will fall asleep and their head won’t be bobbing around as well as the ability to swap it easily around to give me the option to easily pick up my infant nephew. I am in love and my daughter loves that it matches her brothers booster so she has a “new big girl seat”.

Really like this car seat!

We received this car seat for review as part of the WeeSpring Parent Panel.
This is my first experience with a Graco car seat as a parent. When I nannied many families used them, but we went with a different brand when we had our first child.
While its features are similar to the brand we chose, there are some things that make it stand out and have me 100% considering a switch, and purchasing this seat for not only our 22 month old, but our 4 year old as well.
First, the seat is nice and wide, with double cup holders that are part of the seat instead of detachable, but somehow it actually takes up LESS room than our traditional seat.
Second, the chest clip is impossible for our 20 month old to undo. We have been struggling with this since he was a year old in our first seat, and it terrifies me.
The fabric is fantastic. The adjustable straps without having to re-thread? Clutch. The fact that this five point harness seat will work for both my kids makes me very happy.
We used it with the LATCH system for the baby, and with the belt for my older kid (we tried it with both), and didn't use LATCH for the 4 year old because the seat we wanted it in doesn't have LATCH available.
I love love love the recline. Our current seat has this, but it was much easier to adjust in real time in the Graco seat.
A lot of time and effort has been put into this seat, and I am impressed!

Install and Use is a Snap
on June 18, 2018

This is one incredibly user friendly seat. I definitely want to thank the weeSpring Parent Panel for giving me the opportunity to test this product. It is a one and done lifetime seat. You can use it from infancy through the big kid years, and because it was designed with an amazing no-retread harness, you don’t have to partially or fully uninstall it or remove a cover to adjust the straps either as your kid grows or for different kids. It fts my almost 2 year old, my almost 4 year old and my 6 year old easily transitioning from one to the day there with a simple one handed adjustment in car. They can each sit in this seat anytime! Talk about making car pooling easy. Another amazingly awesome feature is the simple in car recline/leveling feature. No more trying to get it positioned and adjusted just so and then tightening it down, you literally slide and tilt. It could not be easier. If I was in the market for a new car seat this one would be at the top of my list for a permanent, seat. It eliminates the need to buy multiple staged seats. It couldn’t be easier to install with either the latch or the seatbelt options, we tried out both just to see. And you can’t beat the one handed easy of adjusting the seat without fiddling with covers and straps. This was one of the fastest installations ever for the style of seat. Graco just made parents’ lives everywhere really easy. The only draw back to this seat was the weight. I wouldn’t want to have to pack this one through an airport. But for us it is a permanent fixture in our second vehicle, so ultimately that isn’t an issue. If you’re installing it and leaving it you can’t go wrong with this seat. I absolutely love it.
