About Graco
In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on. What's in the Box

 Great combination seat October 6, 2008

I bought this as a second car seat for my 1997 Honda Civic after looking for a good car seat for my small car. The Britax roundabout is in my husband's 1998 Honda Accord. I read rave reviews and also the negative ones about not much padding and head falling forward or little recline. I like this seat because it will grow with my child and change to a booster up to 100 lbs. Although it is not as soft as the Britax and does not have Gracopedic foam, it seesm to be adequately padded. I like the shoulder and buckle pads. My son (2Y) looks comfortable in it, but for a long car ride (e.g. 5 hours or more) I will probably use the Britax. I agree the recline is not impressive, but on the "steepest" recline, and with the natural lean backward of the Honda seat, my son's head does not fall forward when sleeping, but leans on the side. The mesh lining makes it a little more breathable for his sweaty baby head. I assembled it and installed it myself without my husband's help. The seat cover is more complex than the Britax, but so far it appears to hold. It is one heavy seat, though, and I will probably not try to bring it onto a plane as a five-point harness seat. The seat fits fine in the rear center and an average size person can still fit on either side of it.
 Completely Wonderful Car Seat!!!! October 5, 2008
Mr. Ronald G. Rouette Jr. (San Diego County, CA)
I bought this after reviewing the Kyle David Miller memorial video online, and knew we needed a 5 point seat for our 5 year old. I actually reviewed numerous seats online, then went to B'R'US to actually check out the fit with her in tow. As we couldn't buy Britax on our budget, this was comparable, has a higher torso height than others, and also had a taller head rest capability. I HIGHLY recommend this seat!I'll buy another for our 3 yo when he outgrows what he has (his seat currently only goes up to 40 lbs in the 5 pt. harness).

We bought this for our one-year-old grandson as a step up from his rear-facing seat. We hope it will be the last seat he will ever need. Assembly was straightforward as long as you read the manual. Supposedly, this seat is smaller than most of the Britax models, but it sure takes up a lot of room in the back of our Passat. Installation was easy with the LATCH system. We tried this out on a 7-hour drive to a wedding and he obviously prefered facing forward (not so much screaming as in the rear-facing seat). One disappointment, the recline feature is negligible, but he seemed to sleep just fine.
Wish I bought it sooner.... October 3, 2008
Lauren M. Moreno (Boston MA)
This is a great car seat. I love that it is a 5 point harness until 65lbs. and best of all, my toddler is very comfortable in it. It is easy to adjust, easy to clean, easy to get child in and out of and the straps do not get twisted (a problem I have had with other car seats!).
We have been using it for about 6 weeks and I am very happy with it. I found it very easy to put together...it took me 5 minutes. Installs in my car with LATCH just as easy as any other car seat.
My son is 21 months old, about 29 lbs and 34 inches long and he still has so much room to grow. The crotch strap is still in its first slot and the shoulder straps have 4 height options.
I will buy this car seat again for my 2nd child.
Excellent Car seat October 3, 2008
MN Mom
Works great for a 1+ year old facing forward. My 15 month-old son was quickly outgrowing even the top harness slots on his Graco Comfort Sport convertible car seats, this one will last forever, it keeps on adjusting with their growing height. Very comfortable, even reclines some. He absolutely loves the little cubbies! I wish I had never bought the convertible car seats and had just kept him in the infant seat until he was ready to face forward. Great value!
