Sturdy and comfy--basically a mini spaceship!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I have three kids, ages 0, 3, and 6. So, we've been through a few car seats. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, we were able to try out Graco's Extend2Fit Platinum 3-in-1 convertible car seat. We have other convertible car seats, but this is the first we've used from infancy (our third son is 3-1/2 months). The company claims that the ProtectPlus design has passed the most rigorous crash tests--thankfully, we haven't needed to test that out, but based on appearance alone, this is the most sturdiest-looking and -feeling convertible car seat we've ever tried. It's basically a mini spaceship! And the sturdiness didn't seem to affect comfort for my little guy.
Installation was easy -- no major issues with one exception. We installed rear-facing, and the bubble leveler to to get the recline position correct is only on one side of the car seat. We could only install it on one side of the car, and, unfortunately, the bubble leveler was not visible without climbing over to the other side. Needs to be on both sides.
One of the features we look forward to trying is the extendable panel for extra leg room. With our first two kids, we transitioned them to forward-facing at age 2. With baby #3, however, we will rear-face for longer [this seat fits rear-facing toddlers/preschoolers up to 50 lbs], so the extendable foot rest is a feature we appreciate. It adds five inches. Like the other convertible Graco car seat that our 6-year-old uses, we love that this seat also has the one-handed headrest adjuster--this one has ten positions (!)--and how the harness adjusts automatically at the same time. Probably the best feature of the newer Graco convertible seats.
I would definitely recommend this seat for shoppers looking for one seat to cover their baby's ride until they don't need a seat anymore (~100 lbs.).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Extended Leg Panel is Genius

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While my LO’s favorite part of this car seat is the dual cup holder (one for his drink, one for the toys) I have to say that I was most impressed with the extended leg panel. Obviously safety is all of our first priority when it comes to purchasing a car seat and with experts recommending that children stay rear facing until 3+ this car seat finally addresses the comfort issue for older toddlers. I also really appreciate the quick remove car seat cover because #snacks. Having the ability to easily remove and wash the cover without uninstalling the car seat is a real win for me. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending this car seat to try! It has definitely become our new favorite.

Great features, perfect size!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this convertible car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My first thought upon removing it from the box was how small it was. Not in a bad way, but in a way that it was very manageable for a smaller framed female like myself to maneuver. It also proved to be a perfect fit for my compact car. I’ve seen a few seats that would be way too overwhelming for the space I have. The self-ratcheting latch on the seat made it super easy to install—I had a solid install in probably about a minute. The level indicator on the side of the seat is well placed and easy to read, so adjusting it to the proper incline for my child was a breeze. The padding on the seat is adequate—although I had previously purchased the Extend2Fit 3-in-1 (not Platinum version) 2 years ago and I find the padding on that seat to be more cushy. My 3-year old daughter, however, has no complaints about this seat being uncomfortable and has even fallen asleep in it several times. The cupholders could probably be a bit bigger, but that’s really the only complaint I have. I love how the seat grows with the child, so in reality you could get by with this one item from birth-booster age. What a bargain! Overall, I would definitely recommend this car seat to others.

Works well. Haven’t had it long, but it was easy to install and he fits well. I was worried about his head being at a weird angle from other reviews, and it was with the extra padding in, but he’s super big so we took that out and now it’s fine.

I keep calling this the Cadillac of car seats. I wish I would have had this when my daughter was first born. It’s a bit expensive, but when you think about how long you can use it (until they’re completely out of a booster!), it’s well worth the money spent.

The best convertible carseat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this car seat a few months ago and we absolutely love it! For the price alone, it couldn’t be beat. My daughter loves this seat and doesn’t cry as soon as we put her in it, unlike another brand of seat we tried. It was super easy to install, so that was an added bonus. We liked it so much that we bought a second one for our other vehicle.
