2017 Graco 4Ever Extend2Fit 4-in-1 Carseat Review

Late one night at the Graco factory, some smooth Barry White was heard playing, some carseats were hanging out, and about a year after the Extend2Fit’s original introduction, the Graco 4Ever Extend2Fit All-In-One was born. It’s about the perfect combination of what you could want in a carseat: the Graco’s super popular 4Ever 4-In-1 carseat and the Extend2Fit convertible carseat with the fabulous leg extension that eases parents’ minds about cramped rear-facing legs. The Graco 4Ever Extend2Fit is a busy seat for busy families: it rear-faces, forward-faces, becomes a highback booster, and converts to a backless booster.

Weight and Height Limits:

• Rear-facing: 4-50 lbs. AND child’s head is 1” below adjustment handle
• Forward-facing: 22-65 lbs., 49” or less
• Highback booster: 40-100 lbs., 43-57”, at least 4 years old
• Backless booster: 40-120 lbs., 43-57”, at least 4 years old

4Ever Extend2Fit Overview:

• 50 lbs. rear-facing weight limit
• 4 rear-facing recline positions, 2 forward-facing recline positions
• 2 recline handles: each located on the front and the back of the seat base for convenience
• 4-position leg extension for rear-facing comfort
• Seat belt lockoff for forward-facing use
• On-board harness storage for booster mode
• Steel reinforced frame
• InRight™ LATCH system
• Two cup holders
• Machine-washable cover
• 10 yr lifespan before seat expires

Graco also offers three other versions of the Extend2Fit carseat. Here’s a quick overview of the differences:

Extend2Fit with RapidRemove: Has all the E2F features plus an easy-to-remove cover. MSRP $219.99

Extend2Fit 3-in-1: Has all the E2F features plus the capability of being used as a highback belt-positioning booster seat from 30-100 lbs. MSRP $249.99

Extend2Fit 3-in-1 with TrueShield: Has all the E2F 3-in-1 features plus TrueShield technology, an extra layer of side impact protection. MSRP $279.99
