Versital, Easy to Use Car Seat
on April 27, 2018
Posted by: Cmichellegarcia
I received this product from the weeSpring Parent Panel, and I’m so glad I did! As a mother of two (4 and newborn) we knew we were going to need another car seat, but ideally one that we could use for both kids. However, as I started researching the best convertible seat I became completely overwhelmed. This seat is perfect! First of all I love the Latch system. It’s super easy to use and I feel confident that the seat is installed correctly without spending a ton of time doing so. I also love that this seat has six different recline options. My four year old prefers this seat, but I’m also able to use it with my newborn, since it reclines so far. Also, it’s amazing that I can adjust the headrest and harness at the same time, without having to undo the straps! Although I haven’t had to wash the cover yet, I did try taking it off and it was so much easier than any other system I’ve used. You just snap it off without having to unhook the straps. For the price and how convenient this seat is to use, it is definitely a steal!

Versatile car seat
on April 28, 2018
Posted by: Erin C
This is a great car seat that gets major points for versatility and ability to transition as my little guys grows. My 10+ month old is tall but also a skinny minny, and this seat allowed us to transition him out of his infant car seat into a big boy seat sooner than other car seats. Our little guy loves the extra space, and his smile says it all. The fabric is easy to clean, and the seat works great in both of our vehicles.
Thank you to the weeSpring Parent Panel for the opportunity to test this product.

Delightful & Fool-Proof Carseat!!!!

This carseat was incredibly easy to use, install and adjust. I had no idea we needed dual cupholders until I realized the joy of being able to give my ten month old snacks in one and liquid in the other. It's the little things that matter! I received this product from the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Great value

Received this awesome car seat from the weespring parent panel and I was excited to have my 2.5 year old son try it. It is sturdy but pretty heavy for me to maneuver. The latch system is easy to use and proved helpful when installing. It fit well in to my Mid size SUV and my son loved the double cup holders!

This car seat is my new favorite!

So I was initially really intimidated by this thing. It's bigger than any other car seat I have owned. It has more/new features for adjustments and such.

It's bigger than any other car seat I have owned. It has more/new features for adjustments and such. You have to put in two cup holders (which we are using as pacifier and toy holders) in order to install the thing and the cup holders are scary. You have to remove the cover to get the cup holders in. The cover looks like it will never go on correctly if you take it off (it's so beautiful and snug and perfect). But guess what?? The cover has slide-y clips that make the cover *super* easy to get back on (and yes...I tried doing it without taking the cover off and it really is impossible. I tried for 15 minutes). The instruction manual was so detailed and I made myself read it because the seat isn't like other seats I have had that require you to take the belts completely off and re-thread them as your child gets bigger (and mine was too big to use on the shortest setting) which, at first, was so confusing- I thought I would have to take the middle of the car seat out somehow. But ooooohhhh my gosh when I realized that all I had to do is push down a lever and pull to get the straps at the height I wanted my jaw dropped and I did a victory dance! This thing is *amazing*!! Everything is *literally* spelled out for you on the contraption itself. If I had been less intimidated by the whole thing I might have skipped the instruction manual and not worried so much (but maybe I would have skimmed it anyway because I'm paranoid about missing things). You push a lever and match the seat with the angle you want using a number matching system printed on the base of the seat. There is a ball balancing indicator to find out if the seat is where it should be. This thing literally functions with pushes of levers and we are going to be using it forever because the headrest extends up for at least a foot. I won't need to purchase the kind of booster seat with extended back that my daughter was in at age three because this thing is going to last for years. I am so in love with this thing. And I am technologically inept so it takes a lot to make me feel this way!
There is a LATCH system that I successfully attached to my car because I read the instruction manual and found my LATCH hooks in my car based on the diagram. I am embarrassed to say this is the first time I have been able to do this with a car seat.
I can't say enough great things about this car seat. My baby loves it (he is big) and his much-older sister does his buckles up when we get in the car together. I am in love with the color (Anabele) and I am just so smitten with the lever system Graco has rigged up. It's sooooooo easy!!
Thank you, weeSpring Parent Panel for gifting this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

Great car seat, just not the best fit right now
on April 29, 2018
Posted by: Lyndsey M
I really do like the car seat but I feel that it is a bit too early to use for my 8 month old. My husband and myself can't see over the sides of the car seat which is something we can do with our original one. I also struggle with the fact that it is not a traveling car seat. The one feature I love about my current car seat is that my husband and I each have a base in each other's car but only need one car seat. If we were to continue to use this one we would have to buy two.
The things that I did like about the seat was it seemed more comfy or more padded for my little one. He seemed to sit more comfortably in there. Also, with the padded sides, I feel that it would help when my 8 month falls asleep in there.
Overall, I will continue to use this car seat but I will wait until my little one is older. It is a durable, solid car seat.
Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product!Example: I bought this a month ago and am so happy that I did...

Grows with child and easy to use!
on May 1, 2018
Posted by: taratubb
I received this product from the weeSpring Parent Panel. This is a solid car seat that with a few minor tweaks could really be excellent. First off the positives: I loved how easy it was to adjust the headrest, the harness tightening strap is very easy to use, and the level indicator makes getting the angle accurate very simple. I also really like that it can easily be used for rear or forward facing.
I do have two minor complaints: I don't really like the hooks that attach to the car itself. They don't seem as secure as those that "plug" into the seat belt buckle and adjusting their tightness was not easy. Second, while I love that there are two washable cupholders, they are not big enough for my child's water bottle and they come out too easily. I get that they are meant to be removable for ease of cleaning, but they are too easy to remove. My child pulls them out constantly, which is frustrating as she wants me to put them back...while I am driving.
Overall, these are minor complaints, and this is a solid car seat that will grow with my child.

Verified Purchase:Yes
My 2m old at 8lbs and 20 inches fits great in this car seat. She seems happier and installation was super easy! It’s a decent size considering I drive a Toyota Camry.
