Seat Adapts to Your Growing Child
The Graco Smart Seat changes as your child grows from infancy to childhood. For infants from 5 to 40 pounds, use the car seat in the rear-facing position. Forward-facing toddlers can use the integrated 5-point harness system from 20 to 65 lbs. For kids weighing 30 to 100 pounds, you can remove the harness and store it in the harness storage compartment, turning the car seat into a belt-positioning booster.
For ease of use, a six-position headrest and no-rethread harness allow you to easily adjust the headrest and harness to your child without rethreading--valuable time-saving features.
Smart Base Offers Easy, One-Time Installation
The convenient Smart Base needs to be installed only once, making the transition from rear- to forward-facing a snap. Correctly install the base (which features a seat belt lock off that makes seat belt installation easier), then simply unlock the seat and move it to use as a forward-facing harness car seat. An easy-to-read level indicator indicates the seat has been installed properly. In addition, locking indicators on the base ensure the car seat is securely attached. The Smart Base is also LATCH-equipped, providing you the option of either LATCH or seat belt installation.
For added convenience, you can buy an additional car seat base (each sold separately) to easily transfer your car seat to any of your family's vehicles.
Steel-Reinforced for Strength and Durability
The Graco Smart Seat All-in-One is not a lightweight car seat. Weighing 33 pounds with the base, it features a tough, steel-reinforced frame and base to ensure safety and durability through years of use.
Comfort Features for Growing Children
The Graco Smart Seat's flip-up armrests make it easy to place and remove your child from the car seat. The Smart Seat also allows for five recline positions so your child can lean back for some relaxation or sit up to enjoy the scenery. An integrated cup holder keeps drinks close at hand.
SafeSeat Engineered with Side Impact Protection
All Graco car seats are Safe Seat engineered and crash tested to meet or exceed stringent U.S. safety standards. In addition, the Smart Seat has been side impact tested for occupant retention by the harness system and with a standard vehicle harness system when in high back booster mode. The Smart Seat also features EPS foam, which absorbs energy for effective impact energy management.

Customer Critiques

I had this seat for a few weeks but ended up returning it. Its a honestly wonderful idea and will perform good for a lot of families. I just feel they want to work out a couple of difficulties and then I would be much more than pleased to purchase another for my daughter.
Its really straightforward to install and transport amongst completely different autos due to the fact of the base. Its on the heavy side for carseats but thats not a major deal for me as I dont carry it around on a daily basis ) Every thing is very uncomplicated to adjust and use.
The 2 items I believe they want to fix are the humungo thick harness covers that are required in the rear facing position, then not allowed in the forward facing position. They have thick foam in them so it tends to make it difficult to get the straps tight like they will need to be. My daughter and I both choose the working with strap covers and wouldnt be in a position to when she switches to forward facing :( How about we just get regular thickness pads like the My Ride 65 has so they can be utilised in both positions
The 2nd issue I couldnt get more than is how reclined the seat has to be in the rear facing position. Its wonderful for newborns and infants with no head manage to be at the 45 degree recline, but older rear facing riders could possibly not like becoming so reclined. That was the case with my daughter and the biggest cause why I returned the seat. If I place the seat in a far more upright position it make the level indicator bubble fall outside of the "okay" location, which Graco says not to do. It was rather confusing to me as to why they would make a seat with so numerous recline positions but you can only use 1 or two and have the seat be at an ok angle. When the seat was at the most upright and nonetheless ok according to the level indicator my daughters feet were horizontally level with her head :( Not to mention it took up far more front to back area then her Graco Snugride 32 infant seat. I was pretty substantially consuming my steering wheel! (and I drive a large Envoy Xl suv)
We now have the My Ride 65 and that permits a Substantially a great deal more upright install and is just as painless to install. I just genuinely really wish this seat would have worked for us as I loved it prior to I really installed it.

Extensively researched a great number of automobile seats, my son is moving out of his infant carrier and i do not want to decide to buy a further seat for him following this a single.
Yes, this one particular is on the alot more highly-priced side but i believe it is worth every single penny. A lot of room to grow (out and up), numerous seat settings (you will only have 1 permanent a single for every single "mode" but the assortment is best to customize fit for each car).
It is a bit heavy but due to the steel bars i wouldn't anticipate anything less and i don't strategy on moving it around too much (little cost for the security it gives). Also, the weight is something i can deal with if i want to.
i read all evaluations on amazon, babiesrus and other internet web sites just to know what i was finding into and although highly rated it could possibly not be for everyone. smaller vehicles i could see becoming a trouble. i have a jeep grand Cherokee and this seat is positioned in the center of the rear bench. If it were on the sides of the bench, there would be some limits to the passenger in the front seat in regards to how far the seat could move back (but we had that problem with the infant carrier too... not a predicament for us). then again in the center of my auto, both of my front chairs move all the way back if required with out compromising the automobile seat.
i have only implemented it in rear facing mode so far but i feel that is the most troublesome position in a auto with this distinct car seat.
I also tested it with my infant carrier (chicco keyfit 30) in the side seat next to it (we strategy on one more child at some point) and it fits just fine. it is a bit snug but every little thing fits and operates as it should certainly.
my son also seems really pleased to be in this seat as opposed to other individuals so it must be quite comfortable for him or he would be honestly squirmy.
general, we are highly pleased with this obtain and advise it if you are in a position to see how it fits in your automobile initial.
FYI: Babiesrus will let you attempt the store's demo auto seats in your car with no obligations. SO no matter which seat you choose i highly suggest attempting them out initially both on child and your vehicle.
