Saved our son's life!
on June 25, 2022
Posted by: Blessedmom22
My husband, 2-month-old baby, and I were in a horrible accident earlier this month. A drunk driver ran a stop sign going 60 mph at an intersection in front of us. We never saw him coming and our vehicle turned over twice. We landed upside down. Our 2-month-old baby was in an older model Graco Infant DLX car seat. It was my nephew's car seat. It saved our son's life! God was definitely watching over us and protected us for sure! We would definitely recommend buying a Graco car seat. We will be purchasing another one because they recommend not using a car seat after it's been in an accident even if it appears intact. We are worried to take our son in the car again. However, having another Graco car seat will help put our minds at ease.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this month ago and I’m happy. I’m glad that we purchased this model and be ready for our princess. Quality is really good and easy installation.

This car seat has everything I didn’t know I needed. I’m a first time mom so when looking into travel systems I saw a nice jogger one from babytrend and decided on that after seeing the other options for jogger travel systems and the price points. While the jogger was nice and had a smooth ride, the material on both that and the car seat were almost like a cheap windbreaker type of material and it made my baby sweat within minutes and had him so uncomfortable. Once I saw this car seat I immediately had to order it. I got the Hamilton color and I absolutely love it. I also got the extend 2 fit convertible car seat in Hamilton for when he grows out of this infant seat and I love that they match and how good the color looks. The material on this seat is so soft and my baby is comfortable and not sweating bullets in it since the material feels like it’s also very breathable (I think it really helps that it’s not all black material too). With the other car seat I wished it had the option for a one handed adjustment so badly. Again, didn’t know how useful this was until actually having my baby and experiencing things firsthand. I do have to firmly press on the button for it to move, but nothing crazy or overly strenuous. I also love how it has little slots on each side to place the harness buckles and keep them out of the way when putting my baby in and taking him out, and the canopy is so easy to pull forward and back and it’s definitely silent (another feature I didn’t realize was so important with how easily my baby would wake up when adjusting the canopy in the old seat). The removable body support is great, I just wish the head support had some kind of removable padding option as well since my boy has been in the 99th percentile for length since birth and I think about 80th for weight so I don’t know how long it’ll be before he grows out of this seat. Because the head support can’t be removed I already have the headrest set to the highest setting, but I’m hopeful that once I remove at least the body support it’ll give a few more inches of room before we have to make the switch to his convertible seat. It’s definitely nice not having to take out and rethread the harness either way, this was a pain with the old seat having had to adjust it twice within a month timeframe. The snuglock feature on the base to make it extra secure, along with the rebound bar make me feel so much better as far as his safety in the seat when we’re out & about. I also love how easy it is to take this from the car to his stroller with the click connect feature. It definitely is nice to know the seat is securely locked in to the stroller and not just placed on it with a tie on strap. If Graco could somehow update this model to include removable padding on the head support it would without a question be a 5/5 star product! I wish I would’ve got this car seat from the start instead of 2 1/2 months in, since with the current head and body support it has my baby as a newborn weighing 8.5lbs & 21.5in long would’ve been so snug and so much more comfortable without his head bouncing around and I would’ve been able to get a little more use out of it than what I will be if he continues growing at the rate he is. I still have my fingers crossed that the removable body support gives us more use out of this though!

I love this car seat.
on March 2, 2017
Posted by: tsmith61008
We have two small grandchildren and it is no small feat to get them into the car while holding one and holding the hand of the other. This car seat is so easy to put the baby in in the house so that I can hold the toddler hand. I can easy pretty much just set this car seat in and it is secure. That leaves me able to pay attention to getting the toddler in. I really don't have an extra hand to be trying to get the baby in the car.
Installing it in the first place was actually easy and how many car seats can you say that about? I haven't found it to be the case with many. That always left me feeling like maybe I didn't do it right but with this one it is easy to get it right.
One small but important detail is the Silent Shade canopy. Of course the baby always falls asleep in the car. With this car seat I can adjust the canopy and it doesn't wake her up.
But my favorite feature how lightweight it is. I just can't carry as much as I used to and this one makes my life easier.
I couldn't find anything I did not like about this car seat at all.

Super easy install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great, affordable car seat! The seat itself is definitely lightweight so adding a baby (even a large baby) won’t make it impossible to carry. The adjustable base makes this an easy install. The LATCH system attachments were extremely easy to use to make sure there was a secure and tight base. The indicator bar is also very easy to read. My husband was able to install the base in just about 5 minutes after I took it all out of the box. I only had a few issues with this car seat – mainly the canopy. The material of the canopy is not very flexible and it seemed to get in the way of the handle. You also have to press both sides of the handlebar to move it which can be difficult for short people (me) leaning into a tall or large car. I also felt like the padding around my son was not quite enough for long road trips. My son was 10.5 lbs and we just used rolled up receiving blankets to adjust the padding. This was a simple solution but I wish there were some more removable pads. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat. Overall, we really like this car seat and would recommend it.

Sleek, easy-to-install infant car seat
on August 11, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As far as baby products go, a car seat is a MUST HAVE. I'm glad to see that Graco added an anti-rebound bar to prevent the car seat from moving as much in the case of an accident. This definitely gives me some extra peace of mind. Car seats are notoriously difficult to install correctly, but I found it surprisingly easy using the included latch system and level indicator.
Aside from safety, other key features I liked was the no rethread harness adjuster. Now that's just fancy talk for being able to adjust the height of the headrest without having to remove the shoulder straps without unhooking and rerouting them. When your child grows like a weed and you're in a rush to get somewhere, trust me, you will be thankful for having this feature. I also really liked that baby seemed very comfortable with lots of hip & leg room to prevent hip dysplasia. Compared to other car seats which have a more bucket seat style, she looked must more relaxed and comfortable. I also liked that the sun canopy had many increments so I could get the shade exactly where I wanted it.
One feature that Graco could have improved upon are the shoulder pads . The material is very thin, to the point of being useless. But all the pros outweigh this very small con, so overall I'm very pleased with the car seat. As an extra bonus, baby girl looks mighty cute in her ride! Although I was given this car seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Sad my baby is growing out of it. It's great
on July 12, 2023

I really wanted this carseat with the anti rebound bar because my city has some bad drivers so the added safety feature just made me feel more comfortable. I got the color Jocelyn which is so cute. It looks good. I love that it clicks into the base but also can be secured with the seat belt which makes for easy travel and car changes with the car seat. I also love that it can click into the stroller which is so convenient for quick errands when I don't feel like taking baby in and out of the seat. I'm seriously not looking forward to when I'll have to upgrade from the infant carseat which is soon.
I only have a couple issues with the seat but they haven't dampened my view of the seat. The first and biggest is that for a seat that goes as low as 4lbs they have no real head support compared to other car seat models they have. My baby was born just over 5lbs so I was very happy this seat went that low so I could take my baby home but I was nervous any time she was in the car during the early months until she started getting better head control because of how tiny she was. My 2nd issue is that the one handed handle adjustment really isn't one handed as the button often gets stuck using one thumb and doesn't fully engage the release mechanism to be able to move it. I usually have to use both my thumbs using the joint to be able to push it in far enough to release it. Also the clearance for the handle and canopy is not as pictured. It's much less. To the point where I usually can't fully extend the canopy unless I push some of it past the handle because they actually touch. But I would say it gets like 95% extended with the handle up. Lastly the canopy it's scratches easily. Idk what it's made of but one day I got caught up while carrying the seat (may have been on the storm door trying to get out the house with my big old diaper bag...can't remember the details) and after bumping around and finally freeing myself I noticed the canopy had a big white scuff mark on it.
All in all I really like this seat. It was easy to install and fairly easy to adjust. I like that the shoulder pads have velcro and can be removed for washing. Can't comment on the seat padding though as I fortunately haven't needed to do major cleaning until recently so I'll see how easy it is to remove that. I plan on keeping the seat for my next child so long as it doesn't expire before then. Probably should've gotten a neutral color but oh well.
