Quirks to be aware of
Similarly named seats
In the world of car seats, it’s important to be aware of similar-sounding models. Apart from the Graco SlimFit3 LX, which is a narrow option, Graco also offers the Graco Slimfit 3 and Graco Slimfit 3 LX, neither of which boasts the same narrow design. These alternatives measure about 19 inches in width, making them wider choices. It’s also crucial to double-check the specific model you’re considering to ensure it aligns with your space requirements. Additionally, keep in mind that Graco True3Fit, a Walmart exclusive, is essentially the same as the slim Graco SlimFit3 LX, offering a narrow profile suitable for fitting multiple car seats in your vehicle comfortably.
