I love this car seat. I have a smaller SUV and I have two of these in my back seat and they fit great. My kids are comfortable in them and they are secure. You can take them apart and clean them easily and they are easy to put back together. They are easy to install too.

This car seat surpassed my expectations. My 17 month old was due for a larger, more comfortable car seat. Her original seat would have been okay for awhile longer according to the weight limit but I could tell she was getting too long to be comfortable. The extra leg extension was the biggest selling point for me. My daughter has long legs for her age and she definitely could use the extra room. The seat is very sturdy but also very comfy. It sits higher and not as reclined as the infant car seat so it gives her a better view out of the windows, I can tell she loves it. We ran errands today and on our second stop I attempted to unbuckle her and she pushed my hands away. I said, “do you not want to get out?” She shook her head no. I then asked “do you love your new car seat?” She shook her head yes and smiled as she nuzzled into the head rest. It was hilarious and so cute. I should have upgraded sooner. The seat was surprisingly easy to install, I used the anchors and they clipped in nice and easy. I also didn’t need to adjust the front seat to make room for the new car seat which was nice, it seems just as bulky as the old infant car seat. We have a 2017 4Runner for reference. I’m very happy with my purchase.

WOW I love this car seat! We have 3 kids (5, 3, 1) and have owned 11 car seats. This is our first Graco - we’ve owned/own seats from Chicco, Clek, Safety First, Maxi Cosi and Diono. I’ve installed varying combinations of these seats in over 10 cars, including our vehicles, grandparent vehicles and rental cars. This is my favorite car seat and here’s why: - IT’S (comparatively) EASY TO INSTALL. All car seats are a pain to install but this is actually one of the easiest seats I’ve installed. The level is easy to read, so you know you’ll get the angle right. The way they’ve set up the LATCH straps means it’s unlikely you’ll get them twisted. I have no explanation as to why, but I installed it tightly on the first try, which never happens (even with the seats I know really well and have been installing for years). - IT’S COMMON. This is important for anyone that does run into trouble installing: because this seat is so common, it’s easy to find dozens of how-to videos on YouTube that will walk you through the installation and help you troubleshoot any issues. - HIGH REAR-FACING WEIGHT LIMIT. This is probably why most folks buy this seat and it was certainly a selling factor for us. The 50lb rear-facing weight limit means all 3 of my kids can rear face in this seat. - HIGH WEIGHT LIMIT FOR LATCH. This isn’t something I even paid attention to until my kids got older and it’s important! You can use LATCH to install this seat up to 45lbs!!! All of our other seats only allow LATCH up to 30 or 35lbs, which means we have to switch to seat belt installation. It’s not a huge deal but it’s a pain because you have to remember to switch the installation when your child gets over the limit (and actually remember the limit). I prefer LATCH installation so I’m thrilled we get to use LATCH install for almost as long as we can rear-face. - NO RETHREAD HARNESS! This is huge. Kids grow fast and it is a massive pain to uninstall and reinstall car seats when you need to adjust the straps. With this seat, you can just adjust the headrest without removing the entire car seat. I love it!! - IT’S GREAT FOR TALL PARENTS! My husband is 6’5” and all of our rear facing seats have required him to move up his seat when driving... except this one! In one of the photos, you can see the Graco Extend2Fit is installed rear-facing next to Clek Foonf (also rear-facing). The Clek takes up substantially more space front-to-back than the Graco, which surprised me because our Clek takes up less space front-to-back than our other rear-facing car seats. Not only can my husband adjust his seat the way he likes, he’s got leg room to spare! - IT’S AFFORDABLE. Even if it didn’t have all these other great features, it’s one of (if not the most) cost effective car seats for rear-facing to 50lbs. Now that I own one, I think it’s a total steal of a deal! - IT HAS 2 GREAT CUP HOLDERS. I was worried because one of the comments on here claimed that no cups fit in the cup holders. Our child’s water bottle fits just fine. It’s snug but I prefer that because it won’t annoyingly rattle around when we’re driving. I like that there are two cup holders because kiddo can keep toys in the other one. - IT HAS A WASHABLE COVER. Just like installation, all car seat covers are a pain to remove and wash. I think all of our car seats have been thrown up on (usually in the middle of nowhere when we have nothing to clean them up) so I have a lot of experience in this area. Removing the Graco cover is just as easy to remove as other seats. It’s not as easy to remove as the Chicco Zip line but we don’t have to wash the cover so frequently that I feel like I need that feature. - IT HAS A PLACE TO STORE THE BUCKLES. Not all car seats have this and it’s one of my favorite features: there is a nice place to put the buckles so that it’s a little bit easier to buckle kiddo next time because they aren’t sitting in the buckles when they get into the seat. It’s a small thing but I love it. - IT ISN'T OVERLY HEAVY. I can barely lift our Clek because it’s so heavy. The Graco is certainly sturdy but I can still move it. Here is why we didn’t buy it sooner (aka downsides): - IT’S TOO WIDE TO DO 3 ACROSS. Maybe there is a specific configuration that can make this work but we couldn’t. Our Diono and Clek easily allow us to fit 3 kids across the backseat. We got the Graco because we finally bought a minivan and didn’t have to fit 3 kids in the same row. Obviously this isn’t a factor for smaller families or families with larger vehicles. - THE OVERALL APPEARANCE IS MEDIOCRE. It certainly isn’t ugly but many other car seats on the market are more attractive. I also wish the straps weren’t visible on the back. The pros of this seat far outweigh the cons. I absolutely love this seat and I’ve recommended it to everyone that’s asked about it since we’ve purchased it. I’m really impressed by the features.

My son is 16 months, and has been overdue for a convertible seat for quite a while. First off, I did a lot of research and comparing before I settled for this one. Safety was the number 1 factor for us and the ratings on this one were great. For vehicle comparison, we have a 2019 Ford Expedition. I was actually shocked at the size of this. We had to push the front passenger seat up front just a tad but it seems pretty narrow and not wide which is what we were looking for since we have an infant car seat in the back as well. I am 8 months pregnant currently and I was able to lift this into the car by myself and I’m small stature and this wasn’t as heavy as I thought it would be. We live in South Texas and it’s three digits on a normal day and I wanted something breathable for my son, whom sweats constantly and this was also a big deciding factor for me. I know I can’t keep him from not sweating ever but breathability was important and this fits the bill. The material is so soft, plush and comfortable. We haven’t tried the cup holders yet; I plan on following up with another update soon. My husband installed it so I can’t say much about the installation. It didn’t take him long to install, he did mention that putting the seatbelt through the car seat wasn’t very user friendly but overall the installation was easy. This car seat sits higher and my son is now able to see out the back window which is a nice perk. I read some reviews that said the color wasn’t grey, that it had a little bit of a purple hue to it but we didn’t have this problem. Ours was grey. Hope the pics and the review help. Update: 01/26/2021 My son is 20 months now and this seat has held up really nice. He seems comfortable in it. I like the extra leg room he gets especially since he has long legs. It’s solid and doesn’t move or rattle. The square cup holders don’t seem to be a problem. So far the set of cups he uses often fit just fine in the cup holders. However, we did have a small child yeti/rtic thermos sippy cup that wouldn’t fit in the cup holder which wasn’t a big deal. My husband transfers this seat into his truck often and it’s lightweight and easy to install. The only negative I would mention (and it’s not really that bad) is anytime I get my son out of the seat, his back is moist or sweaty but I think you’re going to get that with most cushioned car seats so it’s not a deal breaker for us and was to be expected when we purchased it. Please note, my son is a sweater so your child could possibly not have this issue and we live in Corpus Christi, Tx where 3 digit temps are a norm here. Overall, still very satisfied with this seat and I would purchase again. Hope this review helps - God bless

Overall, the Graco Extend2Fit Convertible Car Seat is a reliable and versatile option for parents looking for a safe and comfortable car seat for their child. Its adjustable features, extended rear-facing capabilities, and safety features make it a popular choice among families.

This thing is HUGE but I don't mind as long as it protects my baby well. She's comfortable in it and I love that she can stay rearfacing for longer. It's easy to adjust and feels really well put together.

Car seat was easy to install. My baby is on the taller side and she is more comfortable in her new seat. Lots of legs space and the buckles don't squish her thighs.

Bought to transfer grand child. Perfect! Most seats come in black which is too hot for summer. Also, the extra pads are nice. The child really likes the car seat and looks forward to ride with grandma. I find that the padding is comfortable for the child and adjusting the length of the belts is easier than others I have used. The steel frame is a plus in my mind. Sweet purchase- worth the price

this carseat overall has been great. I did have a nicu baby so it was bulky taking up and down for the seatbelt test, and leveling it can be confusing for a first time parent, but my son has had absolutely no issues. i did have to take off the strap padding because hes so small, but they will probably be back soon. its easy to move the seat and its got several settings to rear-face as long as possible. In a small 4door car the seat has a great fit leaving plenty of room for someone else to sit in the back and doesnt seem to affect the front seat positioning yet. over all, very glad i spent the money

Just began installing this. My opinion on strapping it in with a shoulder & lap middle seat belt is insufficient(rear facing). It simply isn't secure enough and could move around a lot in a crash. So I'm installing it using the anchor straps to the vehicle child seat anchor points. In order to use the rear facing position longer you have to tilt the seat back quite a bit... Not sure yet if my child is going to like that...we shall see. Aside from that this is basically the same base design as the 3-in-1 model so I expect it will achieve identical crash ratings as that model. As for complaints the the straps being stitched together so you cannot easily take it apart.... From what I see(without disassebling it, I don't think this is an issue. There is a metal buckle at the back where you can easily disconnect the straps(they slip off) so looks fairly simple to me.
