Easy to use for a busy mama
on June 19, 2018
Posted by: Khatin17
I received this car seat to try from weeSpring parent panel. I love how easy it is to adjust the settings. The recline feature made it so easy. I was able to install it and then sit my son in it and adjust the recliner of the seat. Adjust it after installed allowed to find a position comfortable for him without having to keep reinstalling the seat.
The harness is also very easy to adjust. I love the no thread part of it. He grows so fast and I am always adjusting the straps, this seat makes it easy for a busy mama. The only thing I didn't like was the release for the harness is really far back and hard to reach.

Great for many years to come!

I was recently given Graco’s Recline N’ Ride car seat by the weeSpring Parent Panel and it couldn’t have came at a more perfect time. With Rowan almost 19 months, 21lbs, and 32/33inches tall, I was excited because we can continue seating him in the rear faced position and later later on make the changes needed for his safety. If you are looking for a new car seat or one for your registry, this is the ONE! It’s a 3-in-1 allowing you to use from 5lbs-100lbs! So you’ll be good for years to come. It’s super easy to install, unlike my previous one. One of my favorite features is the no-rethread harness. We definitely got familiar with all the different options so we can be prepared the moment He is forward facing.

more than one child? get this seat!

Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product. I have two kids - my older is 4.5 and my younger is 1.5. I tried the seat for both girls, forward facing, and backward facing, using latch. It was pretty each to switch it around for two very different sized/weighted children. Not that you'd change your car seat for different kids regularly, but it is nice to have that option. That is probably my favorite feature. I didn't think the reclining part of the seat was that necessary - both kids mostly want to be upright as much as possible and if they fall asleep while you're driving, you can't recline them.
Oh, and my kids loved the cupholders. Just like mom and dad. :-)

Everything with this seat is quick and easy!!!
on June 18, 2018

I was so excited to receive this carseat courtesy of the WeeSpring parent panel because I had just began researching a reclining toddler seat for my son. I am EXTREMELY happy with this seat!! It comes pretty much ready to install- I only had to adjust the lap buckle and it was ready to go! Install was 3 latch clicks-easy peasy! The reclining feature is super easy to adjust-just one squeeze, so it's quick and easy to adjust for longer car rides. Same with adjusting the shoulder strap height! With my daughter's car seat, I have to practically take the whole seat apart-it's a total pain. So I am very happy with how quickly everything adjusts on this seat! It makes everything easier!!!! I would absolutely recommend it to any friend looking for a new carseat!!!

Great features!
on June 19, 2018

The main feature of this car seat is the reclining of the seat, which is pretty easy to use. My 3 year old loved being able to be reclined - it's pretty cool that all you have to do is push the recline button in front of the seat and then push or pull to move it. That's all! This would have to be my and my daughter's favorite feature of the seat. Installation was fine but the seat itself is pretty heavy compared to others so lifting it up was a pain. We used the latch system to install it and it fit in nicely in our sedan - although it is more of a bulky seat and takes up a lot of space. I love the no-rethread harness because it saves time! For busy moms that's definitely a plus. Overall, great seat and we've been using Graco products for years so getting a seat with new features was refreshing. I received this product as a part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Disclaimer - this review is for 7 month old in REAR facing position, I have not used it front facing.
I have an SUV with a bench seat in back, seat is very deep, leaving little leg room in the front of the vehicle because the seat cannot go back any further. The carseat is too wide to install in the middle because it is bulky/deep enough to not fit between the 2 front seats. I ordered this seat and paid extra for 2 day shipping and it took MUCH longer, so do not make that mistake. Very sturdy and safe. My baby loves the recliner option, as do I. I

Compact and easy to use
on June 19, 2018
Posted by: Themel33
Thanks weespring parent panel for the opportunity to test such an awesome car seat. With 2 munchkins needing car seats, it takes up most of the back seat in my Yukon. This Graco car seat was definitely more compact the other brand that we already had. Currently we have the car seats on both sides leaving room in the middle but this Graco car seat made it possible to have the kiddos next to each other to allow for others to join us without having to climb over into the middle. It was super easy to install and use. I especially like how much easier it is to strap my children in. The only problem that we experienced was installing it into my husbands GMC truck because the clips were a little tougher to hook up. Our other car seat clips have a lower profile so they fit a little better but it may just be that the back seats in his truck aren’t as worn in. I also liked that we didn’t have to take the whole car seat apart just to make it forward facing. Definitely recommending and may just have to buy another one to match this one!

Fantastic Upgrade
on June 22, 2018
Posted by: lindsay1416
This Graco Recline N' Ride 3-in-1 is an upgrade to our Grace MySize65 which was being used rear-facing by my 23 month old daughter. The Recline N' Ride has the same no-rethread harness as my other model. A feature I absolutely love. As soon as I wonder if the shoulder harness has moved too much below her shoulders, I can pull up the headrest to the next notch. If the harness sits to high once I do this, I simply return it back to the previous notch. So simple. A great and possibly unintentional feature is the slits on either side of the seat that are meant for the seat belt path when in booster mode. I can tuck the harness straps into those slits so she doesn't sit on them making buckling in my busy octopus a lot quicker.
She has to take some naps on the go, a victim to the whims of her older brother's schedule. The recline feature is a new perk for us that helps these situations perfectly. She falls asleep easily in this car seat and it seems like she she sleeps more deeply when we can recline her (which we do without having to any seat uninstalling!!). We've got a long road trip in two months and I am most excited for this feature.
I waited to write this review until I had the experience of washing the seat. My kids eat in the car so it didn't take long for the seat to need sprucing up.The two cupholders are removable and dishwasher safe! Only the seat pad needed a good washing and I couldn't believe that I could remove and wash (ran through the machine on delicate) just that part. It still looked perfect with no fading or anything.
The steel construction feels fantastic. This seat has a lot of heft. Once I set it in my car, the LATCH attachment was quick and tightening that belt down was also easy.
The CONS: I do have a hard time locating the button to loosen the harness, but since I think that will become easier with time, I didn't knock off points for it. The big con is that I had to move up the passenger seat in my 2016 Mazda CX-5 yet another notch, making it uncomfortable for my 6' 1" husband who is often the passenger. I will probably turn her forward within a year, and as this seat has a 10 year life span which I will use for nearly that long, I am sure the lack of space while rear facing will be a distant memory. *I received this car seat from the weeSpring Parent Panel.
