Graco Milestone All-in-One Car Seat, Group 0+/1/2/3, Aluminium

Product Information

A convertible car seat transitions from rear-facing to forward-facing, while an all-in-one car seat transitions from rear-facing to forward-facing to a booster (hello versatile! There isn't much that we'd like to change or improve about the Graco Milestone as it's pretty amazing but there is something I'd like to mention.

and the already-inserted padding is thick and cosy (to be used if the child’s shoulders don’t reach the lowest harness setting when the padding isn’t used), and made me feel like he was properly safe and secure. The Graco Milestone is an all in one car seat and one that they describe as the only one you'll ever need. This year, I have been working with Graco to bring you the latest in pushchairs and car seats from their range.A car seat is important to keep your child safe while travelling and this product by Graco will always deliver. This isn't a fault of this particular car seat but I think the fabrics used in car seats are not the best for removing stains. Although Group 0+/1/2/3 seats are becoming increasingly popular, there are currently only two on the market, the Graco Milestone and the Joie Every Stage car seat. Introductions are limited to motor finance, CarMoney Limited will pay us a fixed commission per paid out deal.

There is an insert to place into the seat for young babies, which can be removed when they are bigger and no longer need the extra cushioning inside the seat. Rear facing, the harness straps must be at or just below the shoulders and top of head must be at least 1″ below the red headrest/harness adjustment handle. I’m always looking for versatile, durable children’s products to get the biggest bang for my buck, especially the best car seats. It also comes with a handy cup holder, although with 3 seats in a row we aren’t able to use it unfortunately. I would recommend this product my son has found it comfy and we do alot of car journeys he used to hate been in the car but since we got this he has no problems at all.I'm sure you know that Graco is renowned for its tradition of innovation with baby products that offer solutions for the real world of parenting - and the Milestone is the perfect example of that!

Since I was using the forward-facing position with all four children, I can simply pull up the headrest adjustment and there you have it! R44 (legally known as ECE R44/04) car seats are divided into groups based on weight, with some covering multiple groups. I told her to hop in so I could adjust the Simply Safe Adjust™ Harness System to accommodate her 36″ height. The other components of the car seat can also be cleaned (primarily by hand with mild soap and water with the exception of the buckle).Before installing any car seat you must check it fits your car – this is utterly essential for any car seat, not just the Milestone. You can download the Graco Milestone Car fitting List here – I drive an old Toyota Previa which isn’t actually on the list; but the husband has a Landcruiser, which is approved, and we’ve been doing some work with Ford on the KA+ which is also okay. This car seat stands out for its reclining feature, the fact that you can adjust the headrest and harness in one swoop. Being rear-facing is up to five times safer for your baby, so don’t be in any hurry to turn them forwards – do take a look at this Which?

When it comes time to use the seat as a booster, the seat easily transitions with just a few simple steps. If looked after well and cleaned regularly (you can machine wash the cushion pads), there is no reason why the car seat won’t go the distance. Our child has always slept well on long car journeys and rarely has the head bobbing issue as the sides of the head rest are well positioned. It's easy enough to convert from baby seat to booster seat and both of my children seemed comfortable in it.

Ultimately, the car seat transforms into a high back booster for children weighing between 15-36kg and you use the car seat belt to buckle the child in. Generation Graco is made up of a small team of bloggers who are sent some of Graco's products to test, trial and then share our verdict on. Strapping in a young child is easy although I found the harness cover a little fiddly (it uses poppers).
