Can anyone confirm if this looks okay? We could not get the car seat to stay leveled no matter what we did until adding the towel. My husband is convinced this is right but I’m really not liking how it looks.
Hi everyone! My wife and I are expecting our first baby girl in just a few weeks, and we’re trying to make sure everything is ready before she arrives.
We installed our Graco infant car seat in our Volvo XC90 and would really appreciate any feedback based on the attached photos. I know it’s impossible to fully verify an installation from pictures alone, but does anything stand out that should be adjusted or double-checked? In particular, I’m curious about the overall positioning, recline, and the clearance between the car seat and the front passenger seat.
We’re also looking for recommendations on a good car seat camera (instead of a mirror) so we can keep an eye on her while driving. If you have one you love, I’d appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance! As first-time parents, we’re just trying to make sure we’re doing everything correctly before bringing our little girl home.
Hello everyone my daughter is 5 (will be 6 in October) and she just hit 49in. She’s currently using the graco tranzitions 3 in 1. She’s using the 5 point harness currently, but she’s only 40lbs. Is it time to switch her to the high back booster? Thank you.
The belt and plastic weren’t touching his skin
I’m trying to decide between the two car seats. I would rather skip an infant only seat as I do not want to keep the baby in the car seat for extended time, so there doesn’t seem to be much benefit and we have moderate weather.
I had pretty much landed on the Chicco, but I’ve seen some negative feedback regarding infant fit. I know the Nuna won’t last as long due the lower weight limit, but is it a more appropriate seat for an infant?
Criteria
- rotating
- GREENGUARD certified
- easy to clean
- comfortable and very safe/secure
We have a compact SUV that will be our primary car, in a couple of years we will get a two row suv.
Hi!
I have put my 4mo old into a Graco TrioGrow car seat and can’t help but think he looks too squished and uncomfortable.
He is about 6kg and 66cm tall.
I would love some feedback on how the fit of this car seat looks and how I can improve it.

Hello!! I am in need of some assistance. I have a 2026 audi Q7. I am looking for a convertible car seat meeting some criteria. I want it to have maximum rear facing height limits since babe is in the taller and skinnier side. Flame retardant free, rebound bar,and meets the latest 213a compliance. I have found this seat meets all the criteria but I want it in the middle seat and ive read that it can obstruct your view. Any other recommendations? I was really wanting the nuna rava next but it doesnt have a rebound bar. Do you think I could have this seat in the middle? Any other recommendations for car seats? Thanks!
8 month old upgraded to graco 4ever DLX today.
Im hoping for some insight as to which of these seats has a smaller front to back footprint when rear facing? We previously had the extend2fit and while we loved the seats, my tall husband did not fit comfortably in front of them when rear facing. Mind you- he doesnt fit in front of most seats rear facing but the more space we can gain in the front seats, the better. Thanks!
Edited to add-- If there are other convertible seats with a smaller footprint, Ill happily take recommendations!
i’m moving my 9 month old to her convertible car seat soon (Graco extend2fit 2 in 1) and i have a question. i know i can use the anchors OR seatbelt. is one considered safer than the other? does is matter which i use? i plan on getting it checked by a CPST near me, but just wondering. i know this may be a stupid question but i’m a first time mom & worried about car seat safety
Baby is 20 lbs so insert is in but I just feel like something is off. The crotch buckle is in the middle position.
I have spoken to Evenflo customer service multiple times and they have said I have made all the appropriate adjustments to my babies car seat. That the car seat is also installed correctly. I’ve gotten on two zoom calls with them and spoken to them 6-8 times about the issue of my baby going chin to chest when she falls asleep. They since she has good neck control I shouldn’t worry about the position of her neck when she falls asleep. If she can’t breathe she will move her head. I’m also worried about if I got into accident her getting severe whiplash or positional asphyxiation. I sent them the pictured attached to this post.. They saw no cause for concern. Which infuriated me.
I feel like this car seat is unsafe. I have also gotten it checked out by the fire department and they said everything is installed correctly.
Please tell me if there is any additional adjustments I can make. I’m about to buy her a new car seat.
I got this seat before my baby was born and I really know nothing about car seats, apparently this was a good one but it seems like it definitely does not fit a newborn (she’s 7 lbs). I included an image of the car seat, it does not come with a better insert. Am I doing something wrong here?
I’m in Mexico and they don’t do checks at the hospital before we leave.
Hi all,
I went to buckle my 13 month old into her Nuna Rava Next career today and the left buckle (when facing the seat) seems flipped? If I lay the straps flat the buckle is facing the wrong way (pic 1) and if I do the right triangle fold “trick” to flip the buckle, there is a twist in the straps (pic 2). My four year old has the original version of the Rava, so we’re pretty familiar with this car seat. My daughter’s car seat is fairly new but we have not noticed this problem before - maybe we missed it (though we immediately keyed into it today)?
We have no idea how this happened and cannot figure out how to fix this. Are we dumb? Any ideas of what to do?
She’s just at 40lbs. 42inches. Her ears are below the top of the seat but looks like the straps go just below her shoulders but this is forward facing.
This is the cosco scenera extend. But technically she’s too short for the finale by an inch or so.
I’m at a loss. Her extend 2 fit is what we use still rear facing, but it’s so heavy. We fly early tomorrow. Please advise!
Is this real? I went down a rabbit hole.
We have the Graco easy turn car seat. My son is 22 months and is currently rear facing. Over the last month, he’s figured out how to basically uninstall his car seat. He kicks at the “snug ride” latch until it lifts up and the car seat comes loose from the seatbelt. He also kicks the back of the seat so hard that his car seat has reclined on its own before. We’ve had to pull over multiple times this month mid-drive to fix the snug ride latch and re-tighten the belt.
We were planning to keep him rear facing well past 2, but I’m nervous it might be causing more harm than good to keep him rear facing since he’s managing to loosen his car seat regularly. He is about 36 inches tall and 30lbs. We are considering turning him to forward facing at 2, but I am worried that’s too soon. Any one else deal with this, or have any advice?
She is still in a 5 point harness, but she’s 48.5lbs and 49” tall. (VERY tall for her age). I was looking at the manual for her car seat and (I’ll have it attached) now I’m wondering if I need to switch her or does she still have time?
