Read All Reviews for Graco Smart Seat All-in-One Car Seat in Rosen

My insurance company paid for this car seat after we were in a wreck. This car seat was so awesome I bought a second one and two extra bases for my youngest daughter. Now we are expecting baby number 3 and this is on the list to purchase. I will never have another car seat! Love that this car seat is made of steel. Yes it's bulky. Yes it's heavy. But my babies are way more important than my convenience! This car seat will last forever. My oldest is 9 and weighs 60lbs and she uses it with a seat belt and the booster. She was able to use the 5 pt harness till she was almost 8. (She is very tall for her age) She loves that she is safe. My middle is 4 and still uses the 5 pt harness and will be able to use it for about 3 more years till she moves to the booster and seatbelt.

I have purchased three of these seats for my three children. The base installation is fantastic! It feels so much more secure and even than a convertible seat that you have to install directly to the seat. The car seat itself is heavy and strong. I have no doubts that it would provide my children with the protection they would need if we were ever in an accident. The cup holder is a bit out of reach for smaller children, but that seems to be a standard problem in all seats with cup holders. The recline option is great for my forward-facing kiddos when they pass out during a ride, and the one-hand adjustable headrest is REVOLUTIONARY. I always recommend this seat to anyone looking for something safe and reliable. It is truly the best!

I am used to lifting heavy items(50lb feed sacks, 35lb saddles and hay bales) but this carseat takes my husband to lift it and he complains about the weight. And the base weighs as much as the seat itself. If you want to put it in and never take it out it will be ok but if you ever have to remove make sure to eat your Wheaties. It also is very big/cumbersome. I have a Ford Crew Cab F350 pickup and the front seat has to be pushed forward to fit child into seat-cannot just lift child in front of seat and place butt in, you have to turn child sideways and manuever in order to put into seat-very difficult. And the way carseat sits, the front part of base hangs way off the front of the truck seat if you sit base flush on seat. If you put seat to where back is correct then back part of base doesnt sit down onto seat!!! No matter what position there is a BIG gap where adult butt would normally sit on seat. It WILL NOT fit into our other vehicle which is a Dodge Challenger which has very roomy back seats-front seats have to be pushed up so far that person CANNOT sit in seat..

We bought this seat as a "spare" as we had another one already for our 2013 Chryster Town & Country van; i.e., we had temporary custody of our great-granddaughter and bought another Graco top-rated seat for the short time we thought we would be needing the seat. As it turns out, we now have permanent, full custody and needed another seat for our other vehicles. My husband bought this behemoth. I'm sure it's a safe seat from the rider's point of view, but this thing does not fit into our 2008 Hyundai Tucson and does not fit well into our 2008 DODGE RAM CREW CAB TRUCK! We had to place the seat into the truck in the middle position in the back set, as that's the only place it could be installed. In the rear-facing position, it extends into the front seat space, and that cramped situation cannot be safe for the driver of the vehicle! Yes, it does have a base, and because of weather conditions we haven't been able to find a day to try to see if it fits any better into our Chrysler van (I doubt it....). Overall, this behemoth of a car seat is cumbersome, and getting the child in and out of it in the middle position of a 1500 Dodge Ram truck is not an easy task....almost an undoable task. Sorry we bought it. The Graco we did buy seems quite sturdy and safe and would fit the bill much better than this cumbersome thing.

I bought this car seat hoping to save some money by using one seat with two bases for two cars. However the seat itself is so heavy and the back tether is so difficult to install in my husband's truck, that we really only use it in one car anyway.

I bought this car seat for my first son a couple years ago. I am so happy with it I just bought another one for my second son. I feel confident that it will protect my sons if we ever crash, I trust it with their lives. It's super easy to install and use. I love that there is no rethreading of the straps, just slide the head portion up and the straps adjust automically.

My son has been using this car seat since he was 6 months old. He is now 5 1/2 years-old. Love the easiness of having the base to switch car seat between cars. Haven't used it as a booster seat yet. Waiting until he's a little older and taller. This has been the best investment ever!!!

We bought this seat after having our third child. I wish we would have had this seat for our two older children. It has been 3 years that our daughter has been using this seat and we aren't not disappointed at all. It is easy to take off the material and clean. The base allows us to quickly swap vehicles without reinstalling. The only down side is it is a very bulky seat even in a SUV. Great product!!

Very nice, but very large and difficult to move in and out of a vehicle. There are others on the market that are easier to move around.

I just installed this seat for the first time. It's a bit on the bulky side. But not outrageous. I had the hardest time trying to get the fixed latch hooked on. There is one latch you can't change the length of to anchor the base in the crease of the seat. It was very difficult to put on. I sliced my finger trying. Once I finally got it on, it was fine. The seat is easy enough to put on the base. I am not sure I will ever be able to take the base out now that it is installed. I have a 2015 Toyota Sienna which is made for families. So I can't imagine it's the car's design's fault. The click connect base went in easy. Otherwise the car seat seems fine. Easy to adjust as the child gets bigger.

I have been wanting a car seat for my grandson that would take him through all the growth stages. This one fit the bill. It installs easily, but it is somewhat heavy. That said, it is a quality car seat, so the weight can be expected. My grandson is two and fits rear facing just fine. The straps are relatively easy to get fastened, even on an active toddler. The straps also are well padded to give him comfort. Installed properly, it is very stable in the car, and he loves the cup holder! Grandma likes that the unit is very sturdy and well constructed and that the base can be left in place and just the seat removed.

I bought this for my 3 months old baby. It fit snug right in, look very safety and sturdy! The reason I gave only 4 stars because of the size and weight not convenient to move from one vehicle to another.

Bought for my great grandson as a 2nd car seat. It was easy to install and very sturdy. Its,even better than the 1st one,they bought and less expensive as well. I especially like that it was made in the USA Vs China.

Every bit it claims to be...perfect!!

I bought this car seat for my son when he outgrew his rear facing convertible car seat. I loved it so much that I bought it for my daughter when she outgrew her infant carrier. I really like that it can rear face, forward face and turn into a booster. It has higher height & weight limits as well and allowed us to do extended rear facing which was important to us. I won't need another car seat for either of my toddlers until they out grow car seats completely. I also love that it can recline while forward facing.. its really nice on long trips. Its very easy to install as well!

I love the easy way to adjust the straps and recline the seat, It takes up a lot of space in the car but is very durable and safe.

Seriously this is the best car seat! I have one for my daughter and I don't even need to look at getting any others for my son. When he has grown out of his infant car seat (it was a travel system), we will be buying the exact same model for him. It goes in and out of the base with ease, making it ideal for switching between cars. I truly love this car seat and recommend it to everyone I know!

We purchased the Graco Smart Seat in 2012 when our daughter was a little over a year old. We wanted this to be the last car seat we would need to purchase for her and needed a car seat that was easy to move from one vehicle to another. We tested just about every convertible seat that offered rear and forward facing. At the time of the purchase, the car seat would primarily be in my car that did not have the LATCH system. It was very important that I would be able to get the car seat tightly secured on my own with just the seat belt. The Graco Smart Seat was the only seat I felt completely comfortable with! I had a hard time getting the seat belt to tighten well enough on the other seats. The base made it so much easier than trying to weave the seat belt through the back of the other seats. Our daughter is 4 years old now and we are still using the Graco Smart Seat forward facing with the 5-point harness. She seems to be very comfortable in the seat for long drives and the seat offers enough space, so she may keep small toys next to her. The cover is easy to remove for washing and the multiple recline options are convenient and very easy to use. We plan to use the Graco Smart Seat for the rest of the seat's lifetime or until our daughter reaches the maximum height and weight restrictions. I would highly recommend this seat to any parent!

Love this seat. Its super sturdy and I feel my daughter is safe. Fabric is great quality. Its heavy but that's exactly what I want when looking at safety. Easy to install. Love the base!

I bought this car seat when my son was about 6 months old. It has been a dream for him to grow in. He's 5 now. I love how easy it is to recline, clean, and transfer to another vehicle. I bought a spare base for my husband's truck, and a second seat when I had my daughter. I have tried other car seats, and this is by far the best.
