Graco Extend2Fit 2-in-1 - Canada

The Graco Extend2Fit was one of the first convertible car seats with a 50-pound rear-facing limit, and it’s still a well-loved car seat today! The original Graco Extend2Fit is a relatively cheap convertible car seat for parents who want to rear-face higher-percentile children as long as possible. It’s also one of the best convertible car seats for small cars, making it a great option for tall front-seat passengers, compact vehicles, or any situation with limited front-to-back space! 

Seat is good for you if:
  • You want to rear-face as long as possible.
  • Your back seat space is very limited.
Use caution if you:
  • You need to fit 3 people in one row of the vehicle.
  • You want to skip an infant seat.
Stand-out features:
  • It’s very compact rear-facing.
  • Has an optional leg panel for extra leg room in rear-facing mode only.

Stand Out Features of this Car Seat

It’s very compact rear-facing.

This seat has 3 recline options for the rear-facing installation. Once the seat is in the most upright recline position, it takes up very little space front to back. This makes it one of the best convertible car seats for small cars or for front-seat passengers who are very tall.

Has an optional leg panel for extra leg room in rear-facing mode only.

The leg panel has multiple settings and can give up to 5″ of extra leg room for a rear-facing child. This is optional and does not have to be used if you have a smaller vehicle or very tall passengers. This panel can never be used in forward-facing mode.

Seat is good for you if

You want to rear-face as long as possible.

The Graco Extend2Fit rear-faces to the maximum pounds allowed  – 50 pounds. The best practice is to rear-face as long as possible (think age 4+), and with the built-in-leg extension panel, your kiddo will have 5 extra inches of leg room. Curious why rear-facing is safest? Watch this!

hearts-suit

Your back seat space is very limited.

The Graco Extend2Fit is one of the best convertible car seats for small cars. It is one of the most compact in front-to-back space!

Because the seat has numerous recline angles, it can get very upright which lessens the footprint of the seat from front to back. If you have a tall driver or passenger or are just really tight on that legroom in the second or third row of your vehicle this seat is one of your best bets.

Use caution if

c-warning

You need to fit 3 people in one row of the vehicle.

This seat is 20 inches wide. Most vehicles cannot accommodate a car seat this size in a three-across configuration.

c-warning

You want to skip an infant seat.

We’ve found this seat fits an infant ok from 8-9 pounds. If you are expecting a smaller baby and want to start with a convertible seat, this is not the best car seat for a newborn on the tiny side. The car seat harness has to be coming from below the shoulders when rear-facing, and it’s unlikely a smaller baby will meet this requirement in this seat as the lowest harness height is about 7 inches high.
