Graco - MyRide 65 Convertible Baby Car Seat, Alma 4.8 5 157 177
Saved my daughters life Friday afternoon we were t-boned going through an intersection. The other driver was going around 50mph. My daughter was hit full force since we were hit on the drivers side where she sits. She is 2.5 and was rear facing in this car seat. She walked away from the wreck without a scratch on her. This car seat 100% saved her life. It was super easy to install. Is super comfortable and we've had zero problems with it. I cannot recommend it enough.Every police officer, medic, firefighter and the ER doctor all agree that had my children not been restrained like they were it would have ended very badly.We all hope that we'll never have to use our car seat for their intended purpose but I'm so thankful that this one stood up to the test and then some! 07/25/2010
Perfect CarSeat!!! Shopping for my daughters "big" Girl car seat was not hard at all after I saw the my ride65. It's a great seat with such a cute pattern for a little girl. Since I am particular with what I purchase I had to see it in person just to make sure it was easy to operate. So I visited another retailer that carried it in-store and my mind was made up. It is not heavy at all, easy to install and adjust. Machine washable is a super+. I had read other reviews that it was on the large side but not at all. I have a compact car and it fits just fine with room to spare.The color and pattern is much cuter in person too (much nicer than the pink & brown they also make). You dont have to worry about reclining because it has a natural recline, and she looks so comfortable in her new big girl seat. It will definately be the only one she needs. 08/05/2009
PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY This is a wonderful seat. I purchased this as a second seat for grandma's minivan. It appears to be sturdy, it is comfortable, and my daughter loves it. We actually got this seat in a different pattern, but it is the same seat and the cover is easy to clean. PLEASE BE SURE YOU INSTALL THIS SEAT BY VERY CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. IT IS VERY EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND! YOU PUT YOUR CHILD AT SIGNIFICANT RISK FOR INJURY OR CAR SEAT FAILURE IF YOU DO NOT INSTALL THE SEAT ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS. IF YOUR CHILD IS REAR-FACING, PLEASE MAKE SURE THE HARNESS STRAPS MEET BELOW THE CHILD'S SHOULDERS - THEY SHOULD COME UP AND OVER THE SHOULDERS FOR REAR-FACING CHILDREN. I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST ONE REVIEW WITH A PHOTO OF A CHILD IMPROPERLY HARNESSED SO PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! The chest plate should be at armpit level - not at the neck and not on the stomach. If your child is forward-facing, the shoulder straps should be above the child's shoulders so that the straps go down and over the shoulders.The only two things I don't like about this seat is that it doesn't rear-face tether, and the crotch strap only has one position - this may be a problem for newborns, so you'll need a receiving blanket or towel to prevent slouching. Other than that one feature, I am very pleased with the features of this seat, especially the fact that it rear-faces up to 40 lbs. Only one or two other seats marketed in the USA have this feature, and those seats are considerably more expensive. This seat fits well in the center of my 2008 Nissan Sentra, though the car seat is much higher than my Radian 80. It also fits very well in both the rear and center of grandma's 2002 Chrysler Voyager minivan. 08/30/2009
