The purpose of the seat is that no matter what phase your baby is in, buying a new car seat won’t have to be an issue. The height of the seat is 22.1 inches and comes with a head adjust in order to fit your child even after they’ve grown. The fit may depend on the model year of your Corolla, according to customer feedback we found. One customer with a 2010 Toyota Corolla found it did not fit well rear-facing unless the front seats were moved up a lot.
It is a great middle of the line weight for how much you get out of it. Beyond all these exclusive features, there is another that can give you great comfort. The name brand Graco has been around for a long time.
but you can not tell me this was made by a parent or with parents in mind. I’m now looking for a new car seat with a different brand. I purchased this Extend2Fit several months ago and have installed it a few times in my Ford Escape graco travel system (mid-size SUV). Granted, I’m a short and not so fit woman, but still! It fits pretty well in my SUV in the rear facing mode. The passenger’s seat can’t recline super far, but it’s still enough space up front for a full grown man.
Plus, kids are a lot more flexible than adults, and a broken leg is less life-threatening than a neck or head injury. I have two versions of the extend2fit seat, but my question is do I need to remove the head pillow and body pillow at the same time? It seems with both of them in my daughter is pushed forward too much making her chin touch her chest, which is not good. Can I remove just the body pillow and leave the head support or vise versa?
Adjustments to the seat height and belt length are done with the seat in place using the top knobs and then a button found below and between the legs. Joanne is a mother of 2 young girls and a technical writer with over 20 years of professional experience. She originally got interested in the topic of car seats as her two daughters were born and during the course of research into which seats to buy for her family. That interest has turned into a passion of sharing information on the Elite Car Seats website. The Graco Extend2Fit includes a variety of features, which makes traveling with your baby safely easier and more peaceful. Babies seem to grow in size on a daily basis.
Additionally, Britax Boulevard has better side impact protection and a more comfortable base. Therefore, while both seats are fantastic solutions, it seems like the difference in price does show. Its weight range is between 5 and 50 pounds, so Graco has a slight advantage in this area. However, Evenflo Sonus is lighter and slimmer, so it is more convenient for traveling and carpooling. The seat pads are removable and machine-washable, while other parts can be washed with a mild soap. It is a bit hard to get the covers off the seat and put them back on, so you’ll need a lot of patience.
This seat has a bit higher bottom limit than Graco and the same upper limit . But in opposition to Graco’s ten height positions, Britax offers fourteen adjustable positions. Both seats are FAA-approved and meet federal safety standards, yet Graco offers more adjustability and a sturdier structure, so it’s a more favorable solution.
With your baby’s safety as top priority, reviewing these specifications and becoming familiar with them is vital. How do you know what recline position to use rear facing? I just bought the Graco forever extended fit Jovi. First of all, we were happy to discover that the seat performed well in some real life crash experiences. In one of those, both a 1 and 3 year old were involved in a rollover accident at 70 mph and were not injured.
