As a parent, you know that Graco is a trustworthy and recognizable brand, typically designing products with safety in mind. But, is the Graco 4Ever line of car seats all that it’s touted to be?
Graco’s 4Ever, convertible, and all-in-one car seats feature a few models in the line-up, which we will review below. Graco wanted to bring a product to the market that would serve parents from the birth of their child through the child transitioning into riding in the car without a seat.
For some kids, this could be up to age ten. As your child goes from a rear-facing infant to a forward-facing toddler and onto an older child in a booster seat, each product in the line is meant to last from the beginning of needing a car seat until your child outgrows using a safety seat.
Car seats aren’t so expensive that they’re out of reach for most families, but they certainly cost enough to want to do your research before making the investment. Because each of these seats is from the same line, they’re going to be fairly similar, with few major differences and a few minor differences and upgrades in each.
Let’s check them out.

2. Graco 4Ever Extend2Fit Convertible :
Among the 4Ever family, the Graco Extend2Fit Convertible is the lowest model in line with just one significant difference from the 4Ever All-In-One Convertible seat. The Extend2Fit Convertible features only two seat configurations, the rear-facing, and forward-facing car seat.
The most significant selling point of this model is that it keeps your toddler rear-facing for a more extended period.

- Forward-facing and rear-facing seat configurations
- Features 10 position headrest and Simply-Safe easy adjust the harness

3. Graco 4Ever Extend2Fit All-In-One :
Combining the use from birth to growing out of safety seats with the extended use of rear-facing seat configuration, the Extend2Fit All-in-One is the best of both worlds when it comes to Graco’s 4Ever line.

Although the seat cannot be removed and reset like a traditional infant carrier would, if you’re comfortable getting your infant in and out instead of using a carrier, this is an excellent fit for you.
Gone are the days of buying multiple seats as your child grows, plus you can keep your toddler rear facing for much longer with the additional leg room.

Conclusion :
Depending on what your priorities are, each of these seats is safety tested, suitable for a broad age and height range of infants, toddlers, and older children, and they come with great “extras.” If you want a seat you don’t have to remove several times and replace; you can’t go wrong with any in this lineup.
We always vote for the Graco 4Ever Extend2Fit All-In-One because you get both the ability to keep your child rear-facing for much longer and all four-seat configurations.
