This car seat is awesome for a parent like me who has three kids in car seats at the same time. It fits great next to another car seat in the middle row of our SUV. It was also a great purchase for our budget since I will be able to convert it once my 3 year old needs a booster. Super easy to install and very comfortable padded seat. Having the cup holders is also convenient for drinks and as a catch-all for small items my son loves to take on rides. Unfortunately I didn't have this item when my son was an infant, but wish I did.

I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. The Safety 1st Grow and Go All-in-One Convertible Car Seat came with an easy-to-read manual. Reading instructions, initial set-up, and getting acquainted with this new car seat only took about 30 minutes. I love that future car seat set-up and installation will be a breeze. My favorite thing about this car seat is that it will grow with my little one—we will be able to use this convertible car seat for many years! I like that in rear-facing mode there is a Level 2 for baby (manual states it's safe as long as baby can sit-up unassisted on their own) to sit-up a bit more—but, I didn't feel baby was ready for Level 2, even though developmentally she can sit-up on her own. Our first drive, she fell asleep—and her head hung forward, I pulled over and set it back to Level 1—which was easy! I'm definitely looking forward to using Level 2 when baby is older, but still rear-facing. Baby seems much more comfortable & happy in the Safety 1st Grow & Go than her previous car seat—there is ample padding, its an easy buckle-up system, and I can rest assured—she's safe. I like that the padding comes out easily—without unstrapping the harness—for easy machine-washing—for the inevitable blow-out, spit-up, or food crumbs. Another feature I adore—both cup holders are removable, and dishwasher-safe for easy-cleaning. Overall, this car seat exceeds my expectations!

My son loves his seat, it's comfortable and big enough that he doesn't seem "squished" in it. He looks out the window and falls asleep. The install was next to impossible even in my big suburban I still have to have the front seat slid forward and more upright to get the recline right. I absolutely hate cleaning this! The fact that my son is so comfortable in it and it does have good safety ratings is the only reason I still use it. The adjustable headrest has foam sides that broke off on mine and I'm having issues finding out if it's still safe to use.

This was a gift to my son from his grandma. It was an alright car seat. I liked the design, nice colors. My son loved it. The thing we do not love, is the fact that he hates riding in the car now because every single time we make a turn his car seat will slide. I've tried switching the seat place we use for his car seat. Slides down every time. I know it's not our seat belts that don't work, my daughter has a different brand of car seat and we have never had an issue with her car seat sliding at all. It just sits, and looks weird, when in my husbands truck.

This seat is super lightweight, took like five seconds to install, is SO CUTE (I got the vitamint color) and is super easy to get baby in and out of. My baby is so comfy in this seat, and we'll never have to buy another one. Seriously budget friendly, and has all the bells and whistles I wanted without being over $200. #sweepstakes I don't even have to loosen the straps to get her in and out :)

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this convertible car seat! I was excited to try this car seat since my son was getting a little too heavy and big for the infant car seat. It was easy to install in my car and it isn't heavy or bulky as I thought it would. I love that I'm able to keep him rear facing longer and am able to adjust the seat to the level that he is comfortable in. Buckling him in is such a breeze this car seat has clips on each side to hold the straps and even has a little pocket for the bottom buckle. It has two cup holders and I like that they're easy to remove as well as the seat pads to wash them. My son is safe in this car seat he looks comfy and I love that I won't have to buy another car seat this will last him until he doesn't need to be in a booster seat anymore. I will definitely be buying one for my other son and 10/10 recommend!

The most important things I look for with products for my child are safety, comfort, and how long will we use the item for. This item checked all our boxes! Safety is the most important and I found comfort in knowing that this car seat exceeds federal safety standards and has side impact protection. Even with the safety features, it is extremely comfortable. It is really easy to buckle my little one into the seat and she never complains! The fabric is soft and machine washable which is really important to me, I want to be able to wash it after potential messes. The cup holders are nice feature as well! This is a car seat that I don't have to worry about changing and upgrading as my child grows from rear facing, to forward facing, to the booster. Investing in something like this is worth it knowing you will get so much use out of the product, especially since most items for children are outgrown within just months of use! The only reason I am giving this a 4 instead of 5 star was the difficulty in installation, we had trouble with the anchors tightening the seat, it was always loose, once we switched to the seat belt we had no issues though. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting us test this product!

Difficult to install, the straps are so hard to tighten. Definitely not secure enough. Whoever designed this car seat definitely does not have any kids. We had the nuna car seat and it was so simple and easy to take in and out of cars so this one sucks

This car seat is the worst. I can get it in tightly front facing but rear facing is a nightmare. The angle the anchor strap sits makes it impossible to tighten so it's safe. This was in multiple cars (Chevy Impala, GMC Yukon, Nissan Altima and Nissan Pathfinder). The design is awful. It's also hard with minimal padding and the cup holders pop off all the time. We are NOT impressed and now have to find another secondary car seat.

I really want to like this seat. It's really cute and it looks very comfortable. BUT there are a few things about it that are becoming deal breakers for me. I've had this seat for my daughter for about a year now and she is 3.5 years old forward facing for about 6 months since she is at the limits for rear-facing. The first thing I don't like about it is it rattles! The knobs that are used to adjust the headrest seem to be a horrible design allowing them to rattle constantly. It's not too bad when my daughter is in the seat but if she's not I have to throw something over the seat to it quieter. The second thing is the crotch buckle seems to be digging into her belly. She has been complaining a lot of her stomach hurting while in the car and I had been thinking maybe it was car sickness but recently noticed marks on her stomach where the buckles seem to be pressing into it. The straps are not over tightened but the crotch buckle seems to be quite long making it rest high up and dig into her stomach. I am currently looking for a new seat for her as I feel the crotch buckle makes it unsafe and is causing her a lot of discomfort.
