Car seats that will grow with your kids
Parents share their favorite brands of convertible car seats and why you should consider making the switch.
We use the Graco Forever it starts for newborn and works clear up until they reach the point where they no longer need the car seat. I used the graco carrier for a while too- the one that the seat comes out of the base you can take in with you without taking them out, or waking them! My guy is 23.5 lbs, 9 months old and 2’6” he, needless to say doesn’t fit in it anymore, but you can use those ones. We used it for the first 6 months or so, and then by 7 months had to move to a different car seat! You can get the Graco Forever from Target if I recall!!
I already have britax car seat for newborn up to two years old.
I just don’t know car seat for three years old and above. I would like to know which brands so I can be aware in in advance
I got my son the Grace 65 harness booster for my son once he out grew his standard car seat. It is great, he can climb in and it has a cup holder that holds most thermoses
We have the safety first grow and go. We love it and the fire department said they have helped install many if them and have seen them preform well.
We love our Maxi Cozi 85
We have Graco extend2fit rear facing upto 50lbs and forward facing upto 60lbs. My little ones been in it since about 7 months and will last for years until we need a booster. We love it.
We have a small car so the graco slim fit works well for us!! Love it
Graco 4ever is amazing!
Diono. our kid hated car seats until this one. Super safe too.
"Best" depends on your car, in my opinion. Especially if you plan to have a kid or an adult sit next to the car seat. We have a Britax Marathon and have used it for both baby brother and my older son who is 4. Now that I have 2 kids in car seats I want narrow car seats so we can seat 3 across. Diono and Clek makes seats for this purpose but are expensive. I find our Chicco Nextfit easier to install than the Britax.
Graco 4in 1 is awesome. Bulky but easy to use.
We got a britax clicktight for our 3 yo. She was over 100% height as a baby and 80% weight. She is still using at 3.5, 40 lbs, 42”. It’s 40 lbs/49” rf. I believe it’s 65 lbs/49” ff. I fully expect this seat to last until we do a high backed booster or backless booster. Just bought Nuna Rava for my boy who is heavier than she was at 4 month appointment. It’s 50 lb/49” limits rf. I don’t do all in one seats. I don’t need one seat for a decade with all the dirt, food, pee, blowouts, vomit that can go into a toddler’s seat. My biggest criteria is ease of installing. Both of these seats you use seatbelt and pull out slack and close it. No need to basically climb into seat and push down to tighten.
