Client Reviews

My son was unusually tall for his age, so when he outgrew his carry-along infant automobile seat at about 6 months, my husband and I went seeking for a convertible auto seat that would do extended-rear-facing not just with weight but more importantly (for us) with height. We read all of the reviews (email me for some awesome auto seat sites!) and eventually decided on the Graco MyRide 65. If I was reviewing this seat for him, I would have offered it five stars. We loved the a single we bought so substantially that we purchased a second for my husband's car. Easy to install, quick to use, comfy with lots of leg-area rear-facing, the cover is effortless to remove, clean, and place back on - we Appreciate these vehicle seats! So when we had been searching for car seats for my daughter, we decided to do without the pumpkin seat in my car, and just go straight to the MyRide.
Particularly briefly: The MyRide is one of the three tallest automobile seats on the market, soft and wide with cup-holders, it does rear-facing up to 40 pounds and forward-facing up to 65. It comes in a assortment of patterns (every store carries a various pattern, so make confident you check out BRU, Target, Walmart, and Bed Bath Beyond and choose which pattern you love!) and stays soft and plush just after years of use. It not only has a tall back but also a tall base so that your kid can see out of the car window, making rear-facing (and eventually forward-facing) a great deal more pleasant.It is simple to tighten and loosen when facing either direction. Even so, rear-facing it may possibly not fit in smaller vehicles given that of the tall back, and fitting 3-across is not probable since of the width of the seat and the cup-holders. In addition, we encountered a severe situation when attempting to use the automobile seat for a newborn.
We installed our daughter's auto seat, but COULD NOT get the straps to tighten correctly. The straps would tighten specifically as they were supposed to until our daughter was basically IN the seat, and then the straps would not tighten at all. It wasn't just a strength issue - neither my husband nor I could get the straps to budge at all when our daughter was in the seat. My husband have to have reinstalled that car seat five times, thinking maybe the legs had been on the straps, maybe he had put it in wrong, etc. Considering that we have two others exactly like it and had by no means encountered this trouble ahead of, we had no notion what was going on. We could only get the seat to tighten by manually pulling the straps by way of the back and tightening with the other hand at the very same time, which was difficult, needed a lot of strength, and the straps nonetheless in no way got as tight as I wanted the belts to be.
I was highly disappointed, thinking we had somehow gotten a defective seat, although I didn't see how because it tightened fine when no a single was sitting in it. So I went via the internet. There, I found lots of many people who had had the same difficulty. All but one had returned the seat, deciding that it was defective and giving the seat poor reviews. Having said that, 1 individual had come up with a distinctive remedy. She advised we get rid of the infant insert padding. I didn't see how some fabric and padding could be causing such critical challenges, but given that my son had been older when we had employed the MyRide with him and had under no circumstances needed the insert, I decided I had nothing at all to lose, and pulled out the insert. Quickly, the seat worked perfectly. I have no notion how the fabric was catching the straps in such a manner, and I nonetheless don't get it to this day, but the predicament was solved.
I could not use the seat with the infant insert. Then again, my daughter was as well compact to fit snugly in the seat without having the insert. In the end, my husband and I decided to use the pumpkin seat once more (luckily, it hadn't expired) till our daughter was a small bigger, and then use the My Ride. Our daughter has now been in the MyRide for two months without even the smallest trouble.
So, in conclusion, this is a wonderful automobile seat for larger babies and toddlers! We DO still enjoy it, rear-facing and forward-facing. It is very easy to take away the cover, simple to fasten, etc. But in my expertise, it cannot be put to use with the infant insert, and this tends to make it a terrible alternative for newborns. If you don't believe me, just read some of the other critiques, or do a Google search. You will locate a ton of consumers who have had comparable difficulties with the straps. But, if you are searching for a seat to replace your carry-along automobile seat given that your infant has outgrown it, look no further. This 1 is otherwise fantastic.

I'm going to go ahead and second the suggestions of the earlier reviewer to study extended rear facing and the Kyle David Miller Foundation. We got this seat as a secondary car seat to be implemented in the grandparents vehicles. Our main is a Britax Boulevard.
I have installed this seat almost certainly 8 separate instances now, in two diverse Ford Focuses and one particular Honda Ridgeline. My son is pretty much 23 pounds and practically 32 inches at 15 months old. We are continuing to rear face considering it is 5 occasions safer than forward facing at this point. Now on to the auto seat!
I installed it first in the Honda Ridgeline, and it took me about a half an hour to get a fantastic install. To correct the preceding reviewer, it doesn't have to have less than one particular inch of movement at the head of the automobile seat, but at the belt path. That means you ought to NOT be able to move it far more than one particular inch in any direction exactly where the seat belt or the LATCH belt is connected. I have to stick a knee into the seat and put a lot of weight into it and simultaneously pull the LATCH strap to get much less than an inch of movement, but it is a tiny value to spend for security.
I also have the very same challenge with the difficulty in tightening the shoulder harness, and have heard that complaint from many other consumers with the My Ride. I finally got it tight sufficient, but have no notion how I did it and am afraid to loosen it at all or I won't get it back.
I had the very same concern with the cover as properly exactly where it pops off of the cup holders and also the leading. I known as Graco, and they sent me a replacement cover correct away. I got it within 3 days. I haven't had a chance to place it on but, but we haven't employed the seat in awhile either.
All in all, it is a great seat for the money. If you have a tight budget and are seeking for a high weight limit rear facing seat, this is a great a single.
I personally like the deepness of the seat, he actually has additional leg room in this than he does in his Britax Boulevard.
