Graco - 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 Car Seat (2215505)

We have four of [these seats](https://www.gracobaby.com/shop/car-seats/toddler-car-seats/all-in-one-car-seats/4ever-dlx-4-in-1-car-seat/SAP_2215505.html) and love them. We bought them Black Friday for 20% off. Was in a car accident with them and the kids were totally fine. They’re 4 now and find the seats comfy for long trips—my kids are tall. We also bought [this model](https://www.gracobaby.com/shop/car-seats/toddler-car-seats/all-in-one-car-seats/triride-3-in-1-car-seat/SAP_2216353.html) for my parents as my mom does a lot of childcare for us. Graco makes solid, reliable, safe and affordable seats. Not the most stylish, but they worked for our budget and most importantly keep them safe.

I just got the most cost effective one from the beginning. No infant car seat. Mine is a graco 4Ever dlx 4 in 1

We bought the Chicco KeyFit 35 infant car seat and the Graco 4Evr Dlx convertible car seat. I panicked when someone said their hospital would only release them with an infant car seat, so we bought the KeyFit later. We bought the Mockingbird Single Stroller with the bassinet.

I have a graco snug ride 30 lite with the outpace LX stroller travel system. Car seat clicks right into stroller and then when she’s old enough she can use the stroller as normal. It’s super light and the stroller is heavy duty for all terrain, super easy to push. With that stroller, any graco infant seat will fit in it so you can buy the stroller and car seat separate if there’s one you like better. I have a graco 4ever dlx 4 in 1 for when she grows out of her infant seat.

We have the graco dlx 4 in 1. It’s one that grows with them and has some cup holders for them ☺️

I have the Graco forever and it's honestly not that bad if you need to take it out and move it around. It's in my SUV for 90% of the time and when my sons dad takes him, it gets moved to his car.

I used the Graco Forever and it fits Ok in the i4 - but id I remember well you can't use it with the car belt as its too wide. Any seat doesnt fit well anyway, the i4 is the the best car for the back seats, but it works. As for the boosters it was not easy to find some narrow enough to fit with the seat belts, but one of the Evenflo made it. Thats what i am using now.

Congrats! I’m due in May as well, my second baby. With my first, we got the UppaBaby Cruz stroller which we LOVED and used so much. The stroller is light, compact but has a lot of storage space. And we got the UppaBaby Mesa baby car seat that clicks directly on the stroller. I could not recommend it more. Then for the longer term car seat we got the Graco4Ever which we’re still using for my first (he’s 7yo).

We used the Graco4Ever from the start with both kids. The hospitals were fine with us leaving with baby stroller with bassinet (Yoyo). In retrospect, it would have been more pleasant to have the infant seat for transitions in cold winter weather but we all lived.

FYI: Travel system can be an infant car seat carrier, bassinet and toddler stroller. So I will have to buy a new car seat once he’s too big but I plan to buy Graco 4-1 car seat. My toddler is 4 years old and she’s been in the same Graco 4-1 car seat since she grew out of the infant car seat.
