More coming soon!
Our recommendation: From 2 years until the seat is outgrown (average 9/10 years old)
A 3-in-1 car seat that can be used forward-facing, in high-back booster mode, and in backless booster mode
Preferably after your child has outgrown their rear-facing convertible car seat, but can be used from 2+ years
Stand Out Features of this Car Seat
Narrow
The Graco Tranziitions is 17.5" wide, so it can work in some three across situations. Howver, it can be challenging to install in some vehicles, so it's usually not the best option for that scenario.
Seat is Good for You If:
You need to fit 3 across.
If you feel confident in your installation abilities, you may be able to use this seat in a 3 across configuration. It is not our first choice most of the time, but it can work sometimes if the budget is limited.
You travel often.
This seat is one of the lightest forward-facing only harnessed seat options at only 13.5 pounds. It can be a good option to take on a plane. But still as mentioned previously in this review, it can be challenging to install in some vehicles.
Use Caution if:
You have a vehicle with non-removable headrests.
This seat is often not compatible in vehicles with non-removable forward-tilting headrests.
You are looking for a seat that is easy to install.
If this is a priority, you should mark this seat off of your list. Check out one of these instead.

SITS Bottom Line
If you are looking for a budget-friendly seat, the Graco Tranzitions could be a good option for you as it is one of the least expensive forward-facing seats on the market. However, if you are looking for a seat that is easy to install or you have a vehicle with headrests that are non-removable and tilt forward, you should seek another option.
