Graco ComfortSport Convertible Car Seat, Jette

This is a great convertible car seat. My baby loved if from the first moment we got it. I think it is cushioned well. Baby is up a little higher so now he can see out the window. The seat is a little big, but still fits in the back of our little Nissan sentra (although you can only sit in the front seat if you dont mind having no leg room.) It is a little difficult to install when it is rear facing. But I think that it is a very good convertible carseat for the price. We didnt want a lot of different carseats and this one helps with that.

I did my research when looking for a second baby seat for my car, my wife has a different, more expensive Graco. I wanted something that didn't look too "girly" in my car and this one definitely has a cooler look. It's well constructed, much easier to put in than our other seat and totally comfortable for my little girl. I was worried that it was going to be too small but the size is right on and with the additional inserts can hold a much smaller child comfortably. So far I have zero complaints about this seat. In fact, it's so easy to put in, I've removed it several times for when I need to lay the seats down to move furniture. Highly recommended!

We have been using this car seat for the last five months. I ordered this when my daughter was 10 months old and was getting too heavy for the carrier in the Graco Click Connect travel system. She loved the transition. I like that we will be able to use it long-term and it will grow and adjust with her, while rear-facing and front-facing.I absolutely adore this car seat. My daughter falls asleep in it within minutes of being put in the car. We are doing extended rear-facing. My state requires to rear-face until 1, but we are waiting as long as we can (at least 2, but trying to until 4, depending on her height and weight by then). Usually while rear-facing, the seats are horrible to install and adjust. I have a Graco (this one) and Safety 1st for our vehicles. My mom has an Evenflo. My dad bought a Cosco. The Graco ComfortSport was, by far, the easiest to install and adjust. The Evenflo is the worst. We all use the Latch system in our vehicles.It is easy to install, easy to move of switching vehicles, very easy to adjust.

My best advice regarding this seat is to us a protective pad or rolled towel underneath this seat to keep the base from putting stretched ridges in your leather.I use this rear-facing in the center of my 2011 Mazdaspeed3, and I keep it in the trunk (hatchback boot) it when the baby is not riding with me. Putting the baby in the Speed3 is really forcing the issue, and that car can't "baby" with a roll cage or Hans device. The seat won't fit in the trunk if the rear chassis brace is in place--it takes up all the room. I use a rolled towel to get the angle just right and to keep the pokey plastic ridges off my leather. This Graco ComfortSport Jette is the backup seat for our Recaro Performance Ride convertible seat. I'm giving this Graco seat a solid four stars for value at this price point. I got mine on the Amazon deal of the day for $65.02, having done no research on it, just to have a spare seat. I didn't give it five stars since the head pillow greatly annoys me--I can see where Graco keeps the cost down on everything, but they just need to fix the attachment of the head pillow. To keep the head pad/pillow, which is necessary for safety, from annoying me to death, I used a string to tie it through the strap holes with a knot on the back side of the seat. Also, unlike Britax and Peg, Graco prohibits the use of the top tether in the rear-facing position (as far as I know, no Graco seats allow that Swedish attachment method).When shopping for our first convertible seat to use in the center rear-facing position of a regular Mazda 3, where cost was of little concern (safety #1, hence rear-facing as long as possible, and our very difficult center fit #2, hence no Swedish top tether), we narrowed the selection down to the Chicco NextFit and the Recaro Performance Ride. We went for the Recaro (don't laugh--Sparco doesn't make baby seats), but that's only to establish my point of reference for considering the value of this Graco within the confines of the small car fitment. If you are rear-facing and have more space, consider one that uses the Swedish-style top latch in case you roll your car (don't laugh--Sparco doesn't make helmets for babies). This Graco is not trying to play at the higher price point.The pull-belt to tighten the baby is big and wonderful, and better than any other seat. The rocker is big, easy to see or find behind the Velcro'd flap, easy to reach in the rear-facing position, and allows the parent to pull the strap upward. I wish every seat was so easy in that regard.The baby sweats more in this seat--the material does not breathe (better than in an infant seat, but much worse than our Recaro convertible). The material is easy to clean and seems to be wearing very well, and it is soft. The baby belts are standard Graco, if you recall comparing those on your infant seat, just with an upsized chest clip for the larger baby. (The chestplate is redesigned, mitigating previous criticism that kids might unclip it.) If you want to be able see twists in the strap, paint the edge of the belts with some red paint or stitch a red ribbon to it. The Latch system clips are standard Graco, meaning they are just functional clip hooks with no nice button release. The head pillow insert is only held-in by the shoulder belts, and not kept in place with Velcro or on a track. That head pillow drove me crazy until I tied it to the back with string. The shoulder belts have only three positions, which puts the belt further below the baby's shoulder than you might like in the rear-facing position or further above the shoulder when front-facing.As for fit in my small car, it just fits in the center and uses some of the space between the front seats. It would not rear-face in the side seats, else I'd have to move the front seats up. I wish it would recline a bit more, but I'm in the green part of the level meter now, and the seat offers no adjustments for angle. My baby's head flops forward when he sleeps--boo.So, it looks good, wears well, and works for everyone's budget. Just be sure to use a rolled towel for rear-facing and a protective pad for front-facing if you have leather seats. Then, get some string and tie the head pillow down. Also, don't have a crash, don't drive distracted, and remember if you drive behind me that I stop from 100 mph in three car-lengths.

The ComfortSport Convertible Car Seat is a quality product for a very reasonable price. We are a family on a budget and needed an extra car seat so we decided to try this one out. The removable headrest wasn't great and kept falling off so we just pulled it out since my son didn't need it anyway, but for someone using it with a smaller child this could be a hassle. It was very easy to install both rear and forward facing. Also keep in mind that this seat maxes out in the 40lb range so you will likely need another seat before your child is out of a 5 point harness.

I bought this to replace my old ComfortSport convertible car seat. I like this particular model because it seems a little more narrow than other convertible car seats. So I can fit this car seat, a small harmony booster seat and a baby trend infant car seat across the middle seat of my '07 Honda Odyssey or with a little more difficulty in the backseat of my '06 Toyota Camry. The car seat is easy to install using the latch system and the shoulder straps are easily adjustable. My kids seemed comfortable in both this model and the older model of this car seat. This model does seem a little more plush. I have never used this seat for a very small infant. I only use it when my babies outgrew their infant seats but were still in the rear facing position. I like this car seat because it seems comfortable, is easy to install/adjust and is small enough to fit three seats in a full-size sedan or across the middle seat in my van. It is very reasonably priced too (way cheaper than getting a new car!).
