Graco 4Ever 4 in 1 Car Seat, Featuring TrueShield Side Impact Technology, Adjustable Harness System, Ideal for Newborns, Infants, Toddlers & Kids

Amazing carseat and a detailed review!
After reviewing quite a few other brands for a convertible carseat, we finally settled on this one! Few things to mention first: I (small woman) installed this carseat myself without difficulty. Carseat is installed in a 2021 Chevy Equinox LT, using the latch system. Drivers seat is set for my height to drive (I’m 5’3″, so close to the steering wheel). Carseat in picture is set at recline position 1, and head position 2.Shipping: Arrived within 2 days of ordering. The box arrived slightly damaged with the top tape popped, but the side tape still intact. Manufacturers date is 2022, so maybe the tape was just old. Everything looked brand new upon opening the box. So my worries of it being a return were addressed.Carseat: Color we purchased was “bryant”. I thought, based on the Amazon pictures, that this would be variants of grays, it is not. The bordering is dark grey, then a heathered brownish/purple, then the mesh is a light grey. For spending nearly $400, I am accepting of the color.Rear facing: In other reviews, there seemed to have been some confusion about the maximum weight range for rear-facing. The manual that comes with the carseat explains further that the actual maximum weight for rear facing is indeed 40lbs. See attached photo. Some reviews say it’s only 22lbs, this is not true. Manual states any infant under 1 years of age and up to 22lbs, MUST be rear facing. But the carseat allows rearfl facing to be used up to 40lbs. So you do actually get your money’s worth in rear facing.Straps: The height of the shoulder straps adjust as you adjust the head height position. There are 10 available positions. My 9 month old, who is currently 29″ tall, has the head rest position at 2 out of 10. This fits her very comfortably with all the infant inserts still in use. With the infant insert, there is only 1 setting for the groin buckle, however. Which I was concerned about. Little one fits just fine in it, but if you have a boy or a chunkier bottom baby, and need the infant insert, you might consider this. There are 2 settings for the groin buckle when the infant insert is removed though.Other: The carseat is a decent weight. I was able to carry it though, and I don’t see it being an issue when transferring it to my husband’s vehicle.Installation: This was simple and easy as well, when I followed the manual direction. I used the latch system as it actually resolved another issue another review had. When I used the shoulder and lap belt, I was able to tild the entire carseat forward to the backseat headrest. That meant to me, that the carseat would easily flip my child forward into the backseat headrest. Not ok with that! So I used the latch system instead and when installed as the manual instructs (push down on the carseat base and pull the latch strap up), this thoroughly secured the carseat! There is hardly any movement of the carseat with the latch system.Overall: I think this is a great purchase, it fits in my Equinox beautifully and I can see that getting little one in and out will be a breeze! READ THE MANUAL, it’s there for a reason. I know I’m getting comfort, safety, and security with this purchase. I would buy this again for our future little ones! Hope this detailed review helps. I do NOT get paid for reviews, I just thought other parents would appreciate a thorough review, as that is what I was looking for when considering this carseat.

Get it.
I absolutely love it. Safe, great quality, comfortable for my chunky and tall 13 month old, and I so love the design. Run don’t walk. Being able to have a car seat grow as your baby grow is the best thing in the world. I wish I bought this first.

Perfect
Love it for baby, good quality nice and firm, size is perfect fits in our 06 sliverado extended cab, cup holders are a plus, recommend watching a video for installation, easy use and installation.

Only the Best!!
Stop looking now!! This is the one! If you drive a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee this will fit! I looked through so many seats and reviews to find one that would work in my vehicle. You would think that having a midsize SUV that it wouldn’t matter but the depth of my back bench seat is terrible!! At about 8 months old my daughter started to hate her infant carrier (We had the Graco Snugride 35) and was crying for the majority of our car rides. I think due to not being able to see and be upright.Pros- Safety safety safety! I feel like this seat is so well made. The fabric is soft and looked very comfortable and my baby seems to love it. ( we have been using it for 6 months now) My husband is a firefighter and has seen several terrible accidents so safety was our #1 concern. This seat checks all my boxes without being $500. I definitely would recommend this to other parents who are looking for a quality seat for a good price.The fabric seems to be holding up well through our 6 months of use though I have not washed it yet. I plan to do that in the near future and will update this post on how it holds up.The design- We went with the zigzag black and white stripes. My interior of my vehicle is black so I wanted something to “match” but to also be girly. This design definitely hits it for me and we have gotten tons of compliments from family and friends on how cute of a design her seat is when buckling her in.Fuss-Free Storage for the straps!! This feature along with the no re-thread harness were also key selling points for me. Trying to get your child strapped in when they are an on-the-go toddler is difficult enough I wanted to have easy access to the straps and the fact that these hold the straps open makes strapping my daughter in easily.Cons- Not really a deal breaker but I wish it had a couple more reclining options as even on the 1st setting I still feel like her head can drop forward which I am not a fan of but it doesn’t happen all the time so I think it may just be the way she was positioned in the seat itself that time.
