Graco Size4Me 70 Convertible Car Seat
Disclosure: Sample item received. All opinions are my own.
Convertible car seats have come a long way. When my older two were little, the convertible seats only went up to 20 lbs rear facing. With the current information about extended rear facing benefits car seat companies have changed their standards and there are several more options open to parents nowadays.
The Size4Me™ 70 convertible car seat holds a rear-facing infant from 4-40 lbs. and forward-facing child in its 5-point harness from 20-70 lbs. It easily grows with your child with the Simply Safe Adjust™ harness system, which automatically adjust both your harness and head rest height. This car seat also offers their exclusive InRight™ LATCH system for one-second LATCH attachment. Size4Me 70 features EPS foam, a removable head/body support, three recline and two buckle positions to keep your child snug and secure. This seat is Safe Seat Engineered which includes Side Impact Testing. Seat cushion is removable for machine washing.
The Size4Me 70 features:
- Helps protect rear-facing infants from 4-40 lbs.
- Keeps your forward-facing toddlers harnessed from 20-70 lbs.
- Rigorously crash tested to meet or exceed U.S. safety standards
- Side Impact tested* (*In addition to meeting or exceeding all applicable US safety standards, the Size4Me™ 70 car seat has been side impact tested for occupant retention by the harness system)
- Simply Safe Adjust™ Harness System a one hand, no re-thread harness that automatically adjusts
- One hand, 8-position adjustable headrest for your growing child
- One-second LATCH attachment featuring our exclusive In Right™ LATCH system
- 5-point, front-adjust harness helps you get baby in and out
- 2-crotch belt positions for your growing child
- EPS, energy absorbing foam for effective impact energy management
- Easy-to-read level indicator for hassle-free installation
- 3-position recline keeps your growing child comfortable
- Integrated cup holder keeps drinks within your child’s reach
- Removable head and body support helps keep baby comfy
Installing the Size4Me 70 was one of the simpler installs and adjustments I’ve done. For quick reference there are stickers on the side with instructions/guidelines for forward and rear facing (both installation and adjustments). There is also an easy to read level indicator on the side to make sure the seat is on the correct incline. Moving the headrest is as simple as squeezing the the red lever marked 8 positions and pulling up or pushing down. This will also adjust the harness level without having to remove the seat to re-thread the straps.
There are 3 incline positions, 1 for rear facing and 2 more upright positions for forward facing. Adjusting the recline is as easy pulling the red recline lever and sliding the seat on it’s base.
When installed in rear facing mode there was still plenty of room between the top of the car seat and the drivers seat in my van. The drivers seat seen above was pushed back to the furthermost point (our drivers have long legs).
The integrated cup holder keeps drinks within your child’s reach. My only wish regarding the cup holder is for another. It is a good size in a good spot, but my kids tend to have a snack in one and a drink in the other.
The EPS, energy absorbing foam allows for effective impact energy absorption. I also noticed that the seat itself seemed to be padded nicely and the fabric soft for a comfortable ride for your little one.
I prefer to keep my kids in a 5-point, front-adjust harness as long as possible. I love that the Size4Me 70 has a 70 pound weight limit on the 5 point harness… a nice limit for a convertible. That combined with the 2 crotch belt positions make for a longer use that adjusts with your growing child.
I’ve trusted Graco for all of my children… that’s 21 years of children’s products. This seat is a fabulous rear and forward facing combination seat that will grow with your child from 4 pounds up to 70! This could be the only seat you need until it’s time for a booster.
