Graco Milestone 3 in 1 Car Seat

This car seat is awesome! I use it in my car because I mostly have our son in my car for to and from daycare. Typically, if we are going anywhere else, it's myself and my wife going somewhere and we have the infant car seat (with the carry handle) in her car for that. This one is very plush and he seems to be comfortable in it. It's nice that it grows with your baby and you can use it until they are 100lbs. He is quite tall so the adjustable headrest is a nice feature. We got a second one for my wife's car for when our son outgrows the baby one. It was really easy to install. Overall, it's a really nice car seat.

I’ve looked at several Graco transitional seats and this one (on sale at the time of purchase) seemed to be the greatest fit. There are seats out there with more cushion and cup holders but for the most part that isn’t really necessary in our world. This one has a good idea with its movable cup holder, the seats are plenty cozy (and removable for washing!) and the straps adjust with the headrest so you don’t have to unthread them. My daughter has loved having more space having just transitioned out of her infant car seat. She is able to look out the window more and the head rest fits better for naps. It has great reviews for being safe if any accidents happen. Additionally, the seat doesn’t take up that much more space. We have a Chevy Volt and my husband is super tall so we were worried about the spacing. It’s not convenient, but unrealistic. It only takes up a coupe more inches rear facing and it’s so much easier to buckler her in. We are really happy with this purchase.

This car seat is high quality for the price! My only complaint is how awkward it is loosening the belt straps. My wife's seat of the same brand is a simple thumb press, while this one I have to shove my finger at an awkward angle inside a hole in the pad. But this seat has a lot of other convenience to make up for it. It's very easy for my 2 year old to get into, and for me to strap her in. The securing belt buckles are very easy to click to anchors and tighten (my last carseat was really difficult). I really like the way the belts rest on her shoulders and the adjustments are easy.

This seat is super comfortable and has a lot of options so the seat will grow with your child. I was not impressed with installing it. It was not as easy to install as a front-facing seat. It was just fine as a rear facing seat. I do like the tether strap for the head rest. It was really easy to go from one seat position to another. The head rest on the car seat raises as the kid grows. The cup holder is a convenient feature.

2 grandsons 3 years later still holds up. Easy to use and clean material

Amazing

Let me start by saying that I love the Graco brand. This car seat is very high quality, easy to install, seems comfortable for tiny bums and I would imagine that it isn’t any harder to clean that any other seat. I really wanted to love the milestone 3-in-1 seat but for the price, it wasn’t everything I had hoped for. I’ve been searching high and low for a narrowest car seat to fit two (behind drivers seat and in the middle) in the middle row of my 2014 Ford Flex. Having the seats installed side by side is a necessity as I have other kiddos that need access to the third row seat. This car seat advertises as a little over 16 inches wide. I measured it and at its widest point and it is 18 inches. If I install two seats where I intend to have them, I cannot fold down the passenger seat to allow access to the back. Having done my research, I realize that I’m probably not going to find a seat that is more narrow than this one. I already own a Graco slim fit for my three year old and will probably purchase a second one for my 12 month old son as it’s half the price and has the same bells and whistles. Had the milestone 3-in-1 lived up to it’s description, I would have kept the two I ordered and given a five star rating but I just can’t justify paying an additional $100 per seat and not have the space saving feature. Hope this helps others who, like me, need to maximize the seating room and arrangements in their vehicles

I bought this for my 5 month old and we’re both lovin it! Her car ride naps are super comfortable with the extra cushion, her head no longer hangs off to the side. Currently rear facing and enjoying a back seat mirror. Installing, as well as buckling her in and taking her out is always super quick and easy. Looking forward to trying out future seat adjustments.
