I now own two Graco ComfortSport car seats- a metropolitan that stays in my car and this one, which I am constantly installing in other people's cars. I made my purchases after reading gobs of reviews. I had a few concerns: I thought the length of the straps would be difficult to adjust. Living in Alaska, I knew the bulk of my little boys clothes would change regularly and I was afraid adjusting the straps would be a pain- like on the infant carrier. To my surprise I have found that the comfortsport strap system is a breeze to adjust! Pull the plastic tab and the straps come out as far as you like- pull the strap without the tab to tighten- tada! Some people complain that their straps are always uneven because both straps go on one clip in the back. To remedy this, loosen BOTH the straps all the way, then tighten again and they will be the same length.
Another issue: I wanted a cushy car seat for my son because we garage sale for HOURS every Saturday from May-September. With this in mind I purchased the metropolitan for our car. Unfortunately, he is going to grow out of the metropolitan several inches before he grows out of this one- it has a LOT of padding. I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered this one- it seems to have the perfect amount of plush. He really looks more comfy in it than the other.
I needed a smaller car seat because I have a 2003 Ford Focus Hatchback (2 door). If you have this disadvantage also, this car seat fits great in the middle of the backseat- with room to sit beside it and install your child! In fact, you can still have two other people in the back seat more comfortably than with a snugride infant carrier. If you are pretty short- or maybe your husband doesn't drive the car you could install it rear-facing on either side with the seat pulled forward a bit. - and really, just a bit- you wouldn't have to have your knees in the dash or anything.
You really do need a rolled towel, blanket, piece of swimming noodle or whatever you prefer to make the seat level in most cars. This doesn't bother me, but some parents worry that it compromises safety.
Finally, This car seat looks really ugly to me in the pictures on the internet and the packaging, but the actual seat looks great. It's just a nice navy and medium gray- not light gray like it looks like it is. It looks like the kind of color scheme a guys shoes would have- so don't let the scary pictures turn you off.
Happy Car Seat Shopping!

I have had this car seat for about 2 years now and it has been fabulous! I have had no problems with anything breaking whatsoever. I really enjoy how easy it is to adjust the straps and I especially like that the cover is removable and machine washable. The cover stays pretty clean on its own, though, since it is the type of fabric that you can just wipe down to make it clean. I love this carseat and would recommend it to anyone!

Ok let me start by saying my daughter is a princess and she lets us know that. She hates being put down, hates the swing, hates anything that is not on her terms. She LOVES this car seat. After reading the reviews I almost didnt get this one, but it was so soft. So I got it anyway. She doesnt cry, her head doesnt flop forward or to the side when she falls alseep either. She is 5 1/2 months and again hated her infant car seat. So I would recommand this carseat.

I very good convertible carseat for the price. I use it for my visiting grandchildren.

I have this car seat and I DO NOT like it at all. Ihave had such a horrible time with this I will never even buy this brand again. After using it and washing it once or twice the clips would not stay in to hold the cover in place so I called Graco and they sent me some more.The lady I spoke to couldn't even tell how many went on the car seat I had to go out to the Jeep and look myself. But before I got them in the mail the foam broke off from the cover sagging on it. When I got the peices it really didn't make a difference because the new ones wouldn't stay in either So I now have car seat that after taxes I paid $100 for. I don't believe any company has the right to stay in bussiness by selling and not replacing bad merchandise. But that just means I have to tell more people hpw sorry this seat was so nobody else gets stuck with a pricey peice of junk..
