I have the Graco triogrow snuglock and the Graco slim fit the original not the newer slimmer version. I love them both. Simple to install both of them. The trio grow is more compact top to bottom for more legroom in the front. Both fit well in my small Elantra.

Can you talk about the Diono Radian 3RXT SafePlus? It seems to have a lot of good reviews. I'm not concerned about the slim profile, just what is most comfortable for the child and easiest for the parent. I've also heard that the Graco seats often have difficulty tightening the harness, particularly the 4ever. Can you comment on this? Thank you for all of the information you share with the world!!
@safeintheseat4 ай бұрын
I'm not fond of it. It's hard, and sometimes impossible, to install forward-facing in a number of vehicles. The booster mode is basically unusable. I've never once seen a kid who could actually use it. The rear-facing mode is fine though. It is certainly not a seat that I would consider easiest for the parent. The Extend2Fit and 4Ever do have hard to tighten harnesses.

We like it! It will not swivel in most 3 across situations if you are wondering about that. But it will fit in many 3 across situations, if you don't mind about it not swiveling. It's one of the easier narrow seats to install and has high rear-facing limits.

@@safeintheseat thank you SOOO much for responding so quickly! The door facing load is my favorite feature! My concern is that when the Revolve is swiveled to be facing the door the top of the seat is tilted like 20° towards the front seat not level to the ground for loading in the baby and I'm worried that it would be hard to properly buckle in kiddos, especially a tiny one who can't support their own neck and such. 😇

Please I need some insight on a Chicco seat4 fit that I bought here in Nigeria, I can’t seem to find a proper review on it online and I’m starting to worry if it was discontinued? Do you know anything about this car seat? I can’t return it unfortunately because this can be such a shitty country, it was recommended by the seller because they didn’t have the 360 Graco I wanted and she said it was a good brand.
@safeintheseat Жыл бұрын
Chicco Seat4Fix is European. You can use it until 18 kg rear-facing, and then after that, you can use it as a high back booster. Hopefully, you have a lower percentile child who will last a while with an 18 kg maximum for the harness. But I know options in Nigeria are super limited. This seat does require a top tether anchor, so hopefully, your vehicle has one. Here is the installation video for the seat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5_QlGmFrNGMnqs

It's a completely different seat. The Slimfit is 19" wide vs 16.7" width of the Slimfit3. Slimfit3 is compact front to back and Slimfit is not. Slimfit3 has a lock-off for forward-facing, which makes it easier to install, Slimfit does not.

We do not care for either of those. The Maxi Cosi convertibles are clones of the Safety 1st Grow and Go seats, so they have the same issues as those. They have a short headrest that is often outgrown rear-facing by the 1" rule before the child gets anywhere close to 40# or 40." The Diono seats are more complicated than most other seats are. There are other narrow car seat options these days, so we recommend using those instead.
