Customer reviews for Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Anti-Rebound Bar Car Seat, Prescott forGood car seat with lots of helpful features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco Extend2fit was sent to me through Stellar Product testing and I was super excited to try it out! We’d been given a hand-me-down car seat prior to this one and loved the idea of having a brand new one with all the features! We used this car seat for our 2 year old son, who is about 27lbs and who we still have rear-facing. I appreciate that it has the capacity to accommodate extended rear-facing because that is a huge deal to me and my husband! I was super excited about the rebound bar feature. I hadn’t seen anything like that on a car seat before. As much as I was excited for the feature, my 2 year old was NOT and spent many times in the car kicking it and screaming until we took it off. Thankfully, it’s easy to place and to remove and I didn’t feel like I sacrificed safety but not having the bar there. I was also really excited about the extendable panel for extra legroom but when I used it, I wasn’t able to get the car seat to fit properly into the vehicle while allowing my daughter, who sits in the middle to still get around it to get in and out of the vehicle. I think I’m going to try switching the car seats around in the vehicle because I think the extra legroom would nice since my son’s legs do seem a bit cramped in the seat. My absolute favorite thing about this car seat was the ease of installation. There is nothing worse than fumbling with a car seat! Using the latch system (which is a must for me when buying a car seat), it only took me 2-3 minutes to ensure the seat was installed properly. The level bubble on the side of the seat made it incredibly easy to know when you had it installed properly! Overall, this is a great car seat!!! I would recommend it. My only drawbacks were I felt it was a bit bulky but yet the seat seems to be a bit snug.
Graco seat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our favorite feature of the Graco Extend2Fit 3in1 was the grow with my baby capability, ability to stay rear facing longer, but besides the obvious safety features, the super functional DOUBLE CUP HOLDERS!! Because really, does a child ever need multiple reachable hydration/snack stations, YES! While potentially taking up more room, the anti-rebound bar is an obvious safety feature that all convertible seats should include. Our babies seats are for safety #1 every time, and that’s exactly what it does, keeps our babies seats from bouncing around and stabilizing their seat. While I can’t speak to the extendable panel for extra legroom with my baby less than a year of age, with him in the higher percentiles for height it is reassuring the have this feature for our future. And for this same reasoning appreciate the ability to keep him rear facing for longer too. While difficult to know what my babies favorite thing about a seat is without him telling me, it’s clear to see that he is comfortable and ready to ride. No fussing from him! Woohoo! Let’s go! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this convertible car seat.
Really nice convertible car seat option
[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!
The best car seat we have ever owned
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WOW! I am actually quite speechless when it comes to this product. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel in return for my honest, unbiased opinion. I am blown away by this Graco Extend2Fit 3-In-1 Car Seat featuring the Anti-Rebound Bar! Upon opening the box and taking it out, I was shocked to see how beautiful the product is. The amount of padding and safety features really blew me away. I actually called my husband in awe and told him that we need to purchase this same one for our other two children and that was before I even had installed it in my Buick Enclave. The anti-rebound bar is a huge added bonus. When we search for a car seat we look for one that is comfortable, but most importantly we search for one that is going to be the safest for our precious cargo on board. Graco has always been an extremely reliable brand for us and we couldn't be more happy with their latest product. The anti-rebound bar is amazing and when I put the seat in my vehicle and buckled it up correctly, the seat doesn't even budge. I feel confident that my child wouldn't be harmed at all if we ever were to be in an accident with my vehicle. I also love that the car seat can be adjusted by just pushing in on the button and pulling it up to adjust to the child's height. That is such an added bonus because trying to go through the back and put the loops through the correct holes like in earlier versions of the car seats became such a time hassle. Thank you Graco for creating yet another wonderful and safe product for our babies. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an amazing car seat with some pretty awesome features as well!
Extended rear facing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used many different car seats throughout my young parenting career and I have to say I was extremely impressed with this Graco Extend2Fit car seat with anti-rebound bar. The extendable panel that can easily slide out for extra leg room is perfect for my growing 3 year old to keep him more comfortable while rear-facing as long as possible. In his other car seat he will complain about his legs being squished, but while in this seat, no complaints! The no rethread harness is a great feature as well. I love that the seat can easily and quickly be adjusted as my baby grows or if I need to transport a little friend. I was also able to quickly and easily get a tight install using my vehicles seat belt. Graco provides easy install videos online to watch to help install the seat correctly which is very helpful. My only complaint is the cup holders- I wish they were a bit wider as my babies preferred water cup does not fit in the current narrow ones. Thank you Stellar Product testing panel for providing me with this car seat to test and review!
Great with LATCH system!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been using this car seat for two years now and loved it until recently. It works great with the latch and is very secure, but you have to switch to using the seat belt to install at 40 lbs (rear-facing) or 45 lbs (forward-facing). My son is 4 years old (41 lbs and 43 in tall). He loves to ride rear facing and can do so comfortably in the middle seat of my Audi Q7. However, the seat is too big to fit on the seat with the extension panel fully extended in our other vehicles (Porsche Cayenne and Kia Forte) so he has to ride forward facing. Installation with the seat belt is fine in when the seat is rear-facing, but it's almost impossible when forward-facing. I ended up taking the seat to our local car seat safety check for help. Even after having them install it, the seat still moved too much. We've decided to just use it rear-facing in the Q7 and purchased another seat to sit forward facing in my wife and mother's cars.
Leg extension stops working for no reason
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.
Very reliable durable car seat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a 3-year-old and an almost three-month-old that we have tried this seat with. Finding a car seat that is safe, affordable, comfortable and easy to use is often a challenge. Our family received the Graco® Extend2Fit® 3-in-1 Car Seat featuring Anti-Rebound Bar from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it seems to punch the ticket for all of our needs in one seat. Our very tall, 40 pound three year old is able to still sit in a rear-facing position comfortably, this is not even an option in our other car seat as he is cramped and restricted when rear-facing. The foot panel was an underestimated bonus to add extra space for his large feet and long legs. This combined with the anti-rebound bar option is very important to us as a safety feature since lots of research suggests that rear facing for as long as possible is best and the bar helps stabilize the seat well. Our son even mentioned that the seat was “cozy and soft” and did not complain about feeling uncomfortable when we went on a longer car ride. We have a higher end, premium brand car seat that feels like a much cheaper quality than this one and is significantly less comfortable for our 3-year-old. Our newborn also fit well in the Graco® Extend2Fit® 3-in-1 Car Seat and it was very easy to add the inserts for her size and adjust the seat back and belts after our son used it. Not a cumbersome process at all, it only took a minute or two to change the seat from a fit for one child to the other. She seemed to be very comfortable while riding in it and it was a very plush offering for her. This seat earned points in my book for being easy to install in our vehicles, take off the cover for cleaning and replacement of the cover on the seat, our other seats are much more complicated than this model. As a dad that is tasked with these chores often, I can say it was a relief to not fumble through the install and cleaning. I also think the quality materials the seat is made of will stand up well for several years of heavy use by our rambunctious children. Overall our family would give the Graco® Extend2Fit® 3-in-1 Car Seat featuring Anti-Rebound Bar five out of five stars. It hit all of our most important needs. The safety features are top-notch, the quality of the seat is even better than expected, and it is affordable enough to buy one seat for each car. The no-fuss installation was easy and fast, and the seat exceeded our comfort expectations for both children. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity to try out this amazing car seat!
Love that it does all 3, infant to toddler to kid
I really like the 3 in 1, I shouldnt have to buy another product for my child, since this becomes a booster. Which is super convenient. I like that you can take it apart so you can clean it, it’s just a little difficult to put back together, there’s also a lot of crevices for food to get stuck and lost in which makes it a wee bit gross but that’s ok. I like the functionality and adaptability of this
Safety first
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this convertible car seat. Love that this carseat extends the time my child can be facing backwards! So important to keep him safe. My older two kids have the Graco4ever, 5 and 2 years old. The rebound bar is different on this carseat, an added safety feature! I'm so glad this carseat will literally last for years, from my newborn to my five year old all 3 kids could technically use this carseat.
