[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a kiddo on the way and already have 2 young ones. They each have a Graco convertible seat, but both seats have a rear facing limit of 40 lbs. We received the Extend2Fit as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel; our oldest is 38 lbs, which means he would have outgrown his rear facing seat soon. We decided to put him in the Extend2Fit so he can rear face longer, and we will pass down the seat as each kid needs the extended rear-facing capacity. This is definitely my favorite aspect of the car seat by giving my kids more rear-facing time, as it is proven to be the safest way to sit in the car. We rear-face until kids outgrow the limits, so rear-facing up to 50 lbs is a fantastic feature! My 3-year-old is 41 inches tall and 38 lbs, making him quite tall and slim. He usually crosses his feet in his rear-facing seat and was SO excited for a leg bar and some extra leg room. He thought it was so fun and wanted to send pictures to the whole family! My only negative about this seat is that it doesn't have a backless booster option, but it will be easy enough to buy one if/when the time comes for the kids to use one, if we don't already have another seat to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I understand the importance of keeping children rear facing for as long as possible, so having an all in one seat that has an extendable panel for extra legroom is a nice feature. This particular seat allows for rear facing up to 50 lbs. This is my daughter's favorite feature, as her legs were starting to get cramped in our old car seat. She also likes the two cup holders for her drink cup. The anti-rebound bar is a unique feature that I have not been able to find at this price point and I appreciate this safety feature for rear facing use. It was easy and straight foward to install in our vehicle. We have a three row SUV, with the seat installed in the middle row captain's seat. My absolute favorite feature of this car seat is the ability to use if from the infancy stage, through the toddler stage, and finally accommodating your child up to 100 lbs! This will be a product that will serve our needs well into the future. Since we hope to keep the and use the product for many years, the removable and washable cover comes in handy (note that the car seat straps should never be washed). I received this product as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but all of the opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this car seat. Prior to receiving this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel we had our infant in a smaller car seat meant just for babies. And it was fine! But this 3-in-1 car seat is a major upgrade. It feels so solid and sturdy, so it gives me a lot of peace of mind about my kiddo's safety. And so far he seems to be fairly happy in it (his rate of fussing is about the same as always, and he's had some good naps on our longer rides). Given that our little guy is only 7 months old we haven't yet used this seat in toddler mode, but I can tell it will be great for that as well. It's so adjustable! The only downside of this seat is that I can't imagine using it in conjunction with a stroller -- which is what we were able to do with our previous car seat. So people with a newborn might prefer to get a smaller infant-only type of car seat for the early months. But at some point the baby gets too big to carry around in a car seat anyway, so a convertible seat like this is much better in the long run!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My toddler really likes this seat. We recently flipped our toddler forward facing and he didn't like his current seat in this position. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this convertible car seat, we installed our new Graco extent to fit in our minivan and went for a ride. He was so happy! He can reach his cup holders, the seat is nicely padded and it's a breeze to secure him in. Installation was super quick and simple and the seat doesn't weight a ton. Overall this is a really nice convertible car seat that we can see ourselves using for years to come!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve really liked this car seat! It’s super easy to install (I’ve only done it rear facing though) and I love that I can leave my little one rear facing as long as possible since that’s the safest option. The extendable leg panel makes it nice and comfortable to be rear facing and my little ones legs get longer. The cover is simple to remove and I love the extra safety features like the rebound bar that other brands don’t always offer. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Really love this car seat. It’s nicely made. Fabrics used are nice. Love all the safety features it has plus the rapid remove cover. However I’m giving 3 stars because it was not easy to install into my suv. I failed to make sure it had an ez latch install like my daughters slim fit platinum car seat. It took me almost 35 minutes to get a latch that was tight enough which resulted in my wrist and hands hurting by the time I was done. How I missed it didn’t have the ez latch I’m not sure. I guess I was excited about everything else. But that definitely would have kept me from purchasing this car seat as I love the easy install car seats with tight latches that don’t take forever to get. I don’t get why graco would make a wonderful car seat and skimp on that part.

I do not like these carseats. I start out liking them for about a month but switch these seats regularly between two cars and after about a month the extended leg room piece will not latch into any slots on both seats. No damage has been done to them they just stop latching in which was the whole reason I chose these seats as my 4 year old is still read facing and he is much happier with more leg room.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed with this carseat! There are a lot of pros: extended rear-facing to 50 pounds, convertible carseat that can be used for many years (from infant to booster!), easy to install with the latch, nice clean black look, machine washable covers, and some valuable safety features like the anti-rebound bar that provide peace of mind. I really liked that we could use it for both our toddler and newborn if needed after adjusting the seat. Some considerations: It seems a bit wider than other carseats, so you may want to test this if you have a tight fit or are trying to get three carseats across in a back row. I also wish the fabric and materials were non-toxic and eco-friendly, avoided flame retardants, etc. Overall though - a great carseat that can grow with your child! I was given this convertible car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was immediately impressed with the appearance and quality of the Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Car Seat featuring Anti-Rebound Bar. The black fabric looks sleek and feels soft and plush. After clicking in the cup holders the seat was ready for install right out of the box. I did find the cup holders to be slightly small, not fitting all of our cups and bottles; this is the only downside I’ve found to this seat. -Installation was super quick and intuitive using the LATCH connectors. This seat can easily be adjusted after install with the no-rethread harness to fit my 2 year old or my 8 month old without having to uninstall the seat; this is a huge convenience and mom-win! Another one of my favorite features is the rapid remove cover that you can take off for cleaning without having to remove any straps. As anyone with a toddler knows, spills and messes are going to happen, so thank you to Graco for making clean up so much easier! -The reason I love this seat the most is it can be used rear facing up to 50lbs, one of the highest rear facing weight limits on the market!! It also has an extendable panel to offer extra leg room for comfort as my boy grows. I know he is safest rear facing and I’m grateful that he can stay that way for longer with this seat! I also appreciate the added safety feature of the anti-rebound bar that adds more stability to the seat and my babies in case of a crash. Overall, I absolutely LOVE this seat. I feel my babies are so safe and comfortable and it will grow with us for many years. I’m grateful to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this convertible car seat to test (and fall in love with)!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we received this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was a little skeptical as I felt some brand loyalty to our first car seats (also a "lifetime" car seat). But we read the manual, loaded it up, and gave it a go. And we're glad we did! Cons: - The cupholders are smaller than our standard kid-sized water bottle, meaning they don't easily slide in for our little people. And the square shape has proven a teensy bit trickier to keep clean. - At first, we would have put the Fuss-Free Harness feature in the pros, as it is a consistent challenge to keep the harness open while loading kids. We had high hopes for this, but came away a little disappointed as the metal just slides right out of the little pocket. Great idea and lots of potential, just didn't quite work for us in reality with our active, wiggly toddler. Pros: - I like the anti-rebound bar as a safety feature to protect our little babes; having it as a standard feature is great! - The extendable panel for legroom has been great; our kiddo will be able to continue to grow into it, which is huge. - LOVE being able to have extended rear-face, as safety is the primary consideration in a car seat for us. - The install was simple and secure, which is great. You want to be able to easily install the seat for cleanings or just life-- but it is important to still have it be a safe and snug install. The level was easy to see and use. And the seat tilted smoothly and easily. - It is a little thing, but the LATCH system is easy to adjust and is well-stowed. On our other seats, straps dangle down and clang on the seat while in transit. We like that the straps here have a little storage system and are easy to adjust. - Great price point considering all the thoughtful features built in. - Our toddler climbs in and puts his arms in the straps-- he seems comfortable and we think he will enjoy the seat for years to come!
