Baby Products Reviews of Graco ComfortSport Convertible Car Seat in Marcus
Customer Review: graco comfortsport convertible car seat
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this car seat for my grandson. He has outgrown his first car seat and needed a bigger one. My daughter loves the seat. It has lots of room for him.( he weights 21 lbs now) It is easy to transfer to another car if needed and it is very safe. He can still ride backwards for now and then it can turn forward facing when he gets bigger. Customer Review: Good overall standard car seat
Summary: 4 Stars
This was for our second vehicle. Great basic car seat. Not a lot of useless extras but all the basic comfort & safety features. Not the very cheapest out there but definitely worth the extra $ over the very low end models we looked at.Customer Review: nice car seat

Graco has made some improvements since we bought a ComfortSport for my husband's car 2 years ago. I ordered this one for my mom - she liked it because it matched the interior of her new car. I think so far she likes it. The adjustments were a little tricky, but installation very simple. I personally like my Britax better, but for a grandparent or second vehicle, this one is great. Much much much better than the Eddie Bauer 3-in-1!!!Customer Review: Love these seats

I bought two of these seats for my twins. Everyone was talking about how great the Britax seats were- however at that price, they better be made of gold. I did some research and found that two of the Britax seats had been recalled and while one of the Graco ComfortSport seats was also recalled, this one was not. It is so simple to install. It is sturdy and when it's installed correctly, it isn't going anywhere. The harness is easy to adjust, the shoudler pads are great for when the girls fall asleep in the car. The LATCH hooks are a little annoying to remove- the anchor latches on the Britax were the winner in this comparison. But, for the price, the saftey and the adorable easy to clean factors, this is the best car seat. Buy one for each vehicle!Customer Review: Prettier than the picture.

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!
