Graco SmartSeat All-in-One

Graco is quite a well-known name in the baby car seat industry hence I tried their Smartseat all in one convertible baby car seat that was suitable from infants to toddlers. Being a convertible baby car seat it enabled to get rear facing harness for small infants and a forward-facing harness for toddlers. Amazingly, it was suitable for a young person in the forward-facing position.

 As all baby car seats are available according to the weight and age of the children this too had guidelines for the facing and its installment. It comes with some remarkable features such as different positions of recline for the headrest that makes the posture truly comfortable according to the age of the user. I found some extremely good things and some bad things about the Smartseat all in one baby car seat from Graco.

Pros-

  • Being convertible it allows rear facing installment for children of age 5 to 40 pounds, forward facing alignment for toddler or young ones of 26 and 65 pounds. So no need of new purchase here as the kid grows along the seat is compatible.
  • Six position headrest with comfortable cushioning of the seat that provides true solace. The wings are also small to let your little one peep outside.
  • The installation is simple with the option of installing seat base rather than the seat which makes the further harnessing quite comfortable.

Cons-

  • It is quite heavy which makes it difficult to maneuver around and really an issue being convertible.
  • The width of the seat is also issue especially if the car interiors are cozy and if you have other baby car seat.

Overall, a nice choice leaving some weighty issues.

The first thing that made the purchase evident was smooth fabric and a well-padded seat that gives total comfort. It allowed children between 4 to 40 pounds in rear facing position and 22 to 70 pounds for forward facing position. Another state-of-the-art feature utilized in making the baby car seat is the technology to prevent the external impact. In any case of impact, it straightaway releases the air to reduce the shape and prevent the user from the impact. The Pria 70 convertible seat also comes with unique height adjustment for kids of various heights through adjustable headrest.

As far as installation is concerned, it was not a concern because in the space available in small cars it got in snuggly as if made for the car. As an alternative to seat belt it provides a more comfortable option with clips that are very easy to open or close. It also gives a small holder for a cup which is an absolute delight for parents. The fabric of the convertible seat is novel too with smooth finish and grabs the moisture from the body of the children making it nonslippery. I didn’t find any issues with installation or use; a great addition to my car.

Another exuberant feature is the presence of latch system that hastens the baby car seat in the position. It really takes a time of few minutes to get installed with this system which is a great plus. Even the guidebook that came with the Recaro seat was quite easy to decipher and made installment really simple and speedy. The material of the seat is quite comfortable and soft to touch for the children. The price was slightly more than the other seat available in market but considering the safety features it is quite worth.
