It’s almost hard to believe that our impending arrival will be here in two months! My husband and I are in the midst of preparing for the day our new baby boy arrives. As we prepare for the arrival of our third child, we recently checked off one major item from our checklist: the perfect transitional car seat.
92 percent of parents agreed during a recent study that safety is a primary concern when considering baby gear, especially when it comes to purchasing a car seat. Graco is a leader in developing solutions that give families peace of mind on the open road. Functionality, sleek designs, durability, reliability, and safety has characterized Graco for over 60 years.
Car seats like the Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Car Seat ($249.99) feature TrueShield Technology that further elevates car seat safety by providing advanced side impact protection from a child’s head to their hips. It has an easy installation process, helping new parents feel confident that the seat is securely installed. It also helps them adjust to the hustle and bustle of a busy life with a newborn!
5 years ago, it was a few days shortly after my second child was born that a CPS technician was helping me install a car seat before we left the hospital. I had to get another CPS technician to help since the other one couldn’t help but shake her head in confusion. This indicates how complicated it is to install some car seats even when a CPS technician is confused. Installing a car seat shouldn’t have to be that confusing! This is why I’m happy that the installation process of the Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Car Seat doesn’t overexert brain power.
Why I Love the Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Car Seat
→ It features an easy-to-read level indicator for hassle-free installation.
→ Extend2Fit™ features a 4-position extension panel that provides 5″ of extra legroom. This allows children to ride rear-facing longer, up to 50 lbs.
→ The seat features Simply Safe™ Adjust which allows you to adjust the height of the harness and headrest as your child grows.
→ The seat pad is machine-washable.
→ The Simply Safe Adjust™ Harness System is safe and simple.
Since messes from baby and toddlers are inevitable, I love that the pad can easily come out to throw in the washing machine since it is machine washable.
Overall, I’m pleased with the Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Car Seat! I couldn’t think of a better car seat to recommend if you’re looking for something that ensures ultimate protection and comfortability. The seat can be used rear-facing from 4-50 lb, forward-facing from 22-65 lbs and as a high back booster from 30-100 lbs.
This is a great review! If I needed a car seat or had a baby, this would come in handy!
Car seats have come a LONG way from when my kids were in them. I am glad to know my grandkids will be much safer. They look so comfy too!

Track is one of the brands I trusted when my kids were babies. This car seat looks comfortable, sturdy and durable.
What an awesome car seat. Both of my boys had a Graco car seat. It was the only brand I trusted 🙂
Wow! Looks like you did lot of research! I don’t have kids but this likes a perfect seat for the cars!
I love that seat! When my kids were babies, we just had to work with what we had and buy new seats as they got older.

That’s an awesome car seat. I love that it adjusts to fit the kiddos as they grow. That means no more buying extra seats to make them fit.

Transitional car seats made it so much easier for me with my son when he was younger. They are the best! Great review post!!!
Carseats have come really far since even my youngest, she’s 11 now, was a baby. We never really used anything other than a Britax, because at that time they were the best. It seems that even the other baby brands are making great car seats now.
I’ve heard great things about this car seat. I love the fact that you can use it for so long, so important for baby gear!
It must be nice to have one carseat that can go through so many stages with your baby as they grow.

I’ve heard good things about this car seat. May have to look into it when my son is one and no longer in the carrier car seat but is still rear facing. Graco is a great brand!
Great brand. This is a good car seat you can get many years of use out of. Definitely worth the investment!
This is a fabulous car seat. I remember fumbling with putting the seat in and out of the car and worrying whether it was set up correctly. The extended 5″ to allow a child extra time to be rear-facing is great for a parent’s peace of mind.
We have always had great luck with Graco seats! They do make a great product!
I always used Graco seats with my kids! We didn’t have this one but I bought this exact one (and in that color) for my nephew for his first birthday. His parents were thrilled!

The Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Car Seat will be a great baby shower gift for a friend of mine. I would have loved it for my kids when they were little.
I love that it is an extended rear facing car seat. My seven month old is in need of a convertible seat too.
Wow! This car seat has everything! What a lovely review and great photos!

Been hearing positive feed backs about Graco.. I should check this out – maybe we can have one for our baby boy! Perfect car seat for little ones.
It’s really important to research well before you decide on what car seat to get. It’s about our children’s safety after all. I think this is really awesome.
With all the car seats in the market these days, it’s tough to decide on which one to get. This has a lot of great features, not to mention that I’ve always trusted the brand!
I almost bought this seat for my son. It was so nice and had amazing reviews. I ended up going with a slightly different one, but plan on rear facing until probably much after 2! I love this it is becoming more well known to RF longer nowadays.

This looks like an amazing car seat!! I am going to have to share this with my friend who is looking for a seat.
The Extend2Fit feature is so important! I don’t think people realize just how long kids are supposed to ride in a car seat. 50 lbs provides parents with a lot of flexibility and long term use.
I love 3 in one car seats. This is a great review. They work so well from new born to infant to toddler.
Finding the right car seat is really important. I had one of these when my daughter was little, great brand!

Great review. We have this car seat and love it. It’s a little bulky but works great and seems super comfy.
That looks like a wonderful car seat. I have always loved Graco. They make great products.
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy. This looks like a very nice car seat that grows with your child. This will save you money too!

I really wish they had this one when my kids were little ones. They are grown and one even out of the home. I can surely recommend this to my buddies who are still having kids. Graco is a great brand and very trustworthy. Thanks for the info and great pics!
Graco makes such great car seats. We had a couple of them for my son. I love the little cup holder, I had one on ours and it was a lifesaver!

Wow that’s a pretty car seat!!! I love buying seats that are affordable and top of the Line in safety!
I’m yet to have children, but have many friends who do and know how difficult it can be to find the perfect car seat. This sounds like a great car seat, especially because it is safe and seems straightforward to fit. Thanks for sharing!
Man, this thing is sweet! My last baby is in a booster seat and probably won’t be for much longer. I wish they had something like this when my kids were younger.

Great thorough review! Safety and comfort are definitely the top priorities when looking for a car seat.
I always used Graco for both of my kids. I thought they have great standards and reviews. I also used a car seat that was multipurpose.

Graco has been our go-to brand for both kids. I love their options and sleek style!
I have always loved Graco as a whole. Their products are really very affordable and reliable.
I’m not actually Graco fan and prefer Chicco if I had to choose between the two. Though I was still very impressed to see Graco car seats have come a very long way! I’m excited that parents have better choices now!

This looks like a great car seat! Our youngest is two years old and still in a car seat while our oldest is eight and sits in a booster.

Wow thank you for sharing your honest feedback about Graco Extend2Fit 3-in-1 Car Seat. This sounds truly amazing! We really have to invest in a quality car seat.
Looks like the Graco that we loved for all three of our youngest boys has taken the next step!
What a nice looking car seat. The features sound great too. Will have to tell my bro about it. He’s going to be shopping for one soon.
This car seat looks like it could be the Bentley of car seats! Very nice and versatile!
