TriRide 3-in-1

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.

[this Graco](https://www.target.com/p/graco-triride-3-in-1-convertible-car-seat-kipling/-/A-80179068) seat would be my suggestion for the “cheap” seat. And FWIW the Evenflo 360 slim is a great seat and worth it. That’s what we have for the twins once they leave the infant seat.

more expensive does nooot mean safer! you can search “(car seat name) safety rating” & find results i personally like a convertible seat & just using bassinet on a stroller or wearing baby in a wrap/carrier because infant seats only last until around age 1. convertible car seats last until they’re in a booster (8yo ish depending on weight & height) here’s a bunch you can look into because there are tons of options out there my favorite infant seats in cheapest to most expensive order all in usd joie rue $169.99 graco snugride snugfit dlx $239.99 graco gomax $249.99 joie mint latch $299.99 top favorite - chicco keyfit max zip cleartex $299.99 uppababy mess v3 $349.99 britax cypress w/ alpine base $379.99 nuna pipa aire rx + relx base $650 for convertible seats i personally don’t like any rotating seat because they all have low rearfacing limits & extended rearfacing is absolutely the safest thing you can do. one of the only things you can control as a parent safety wise. most of these also can be used for a newborn 50lb rearfacing limit ⬇️ graco extend 2 fit 3 in 1 $269.99 graco 4ever extend2fit $379.99 britax one4life $439.99 britax poplar s $399.99 nuna rava next $580 under 50lb rearfacing limit ⬇️ joie saffron si 4 in 1 $249.99 graco 4ever dlx $319.99 chicco one fit max $379.99
