Will the Graco Tranzitions 3-in-1 booster car seat grow well with your child?

Graco Tranzitions 3-in-1 Harness Booster Convertible Car Seat (Kyte)

The Graco Tranzitions 3-in-1 Harness Booster Seat is an improvement over the older Nautilus, released back in 2007. The Tranzitions is a sleeker, narrower design that works better than the bulky Nautilus for placing multiple car seats in your vehicle.

It’s lighter too, for families who often travel or switch car seats from vehicle to vehicle. We liked that it’s also a nice-looking seat, which you don’t always find in one so budget-friendly and practical.

Key Features

  • Simply Safe Adjust harness system – no re-thread harness and headrest adjust together
  • One-handed adjustable 8 position headrest
  • 2 integrated cup holders
  • Open loop seat belt guides
  • Machine washable seat pad, body pillow, and harness covers
  • 3 color choices
  • 1-year warranty
  • 7-year expiration

Is the Graco FastAction Fold stroller and car seat combo a good option for your family? Use our review to help you decide.

Graco FastAction Fold Travel System (Stroller and Car Seat), Affinia

The Graco FastAction Fold travel system is one of many options in Graco’s impressive line of stroller and car seat combos. It’s a classic 4-wheel stroller that comes with a SnugRide 30 LX infant car seat. Just for comparison, we rated the alternative SnugRide 35 as #2 on our list of top infant car seats.

This system has several good features that make it very popular among parents. For one, it’s affordable. Also, it’s simple to use, stylish, and has plenty of features to make any outing more comfortable.

Still, it might not be the best choice for every family. Let’s take a look at some of the details so you can decide if it’s right for you.

Is the Chicco MyFit LE a good transition to a booster car seat for your big kid? Read our review to find out.

Chicco MyFit LE Harness + Booster Car Seat, Anthem

The Chicco MyFit LE Harness + Booster Car Seat is one of the strongest members to the Chicco convertible car seat family. LE stands for Limited Edition, though as of this review it’s not very limited and easy to find in the store.

It’s sister seat, the MyFit, is a slightly less expensive version. Both are very similar in size and functionality. The LE adds a few nice features including SuperCinch LATCH, comfort waist belt pads, a kid console, and air mesh panels in the fabric. There’s also an upgrade above the LE called the MyFit Zip Air. That one has all the LE features, plus extra zip-off cushions and a breathable mesh backrest. It’s pretty expensive at about $50 more than the MyFit LE and $100 above the MyFit.

The MyFit seats all start life as a harnessed forward-facing seat then convert to a belt-positioning booster. They could serve as a good transitional seat for when your child graduates from a dedicated rear-facing infant car seat. But, for about $50 more than MyFit, are those extra features on the MyFit LE worth it for your big kid?

Is the Maxi Cosi Pria 85 Max convertible car seat a good investment for your family? Find out in our review.

Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 Max Convertible Car Seat, Night Black

The Maxi Cosi Pria 85 Max is a 2-mode convertible car seat designed to last from newborn to booster age. In rear-facing, it holds infants 5 – 40 pounds and 22 – 85 pounds in forward-facing harness mode. Unlike all-in-one convertibles, there is no booster mode.

The Pria 85 Max is one of a few different versions of the Pria line that Maxi-Cosi has offered through the years. It’s easy to get this one confused with the “non-Max” version, the Maxi-Cosi Pria 85, but that seat has a minimum weight of 14 pounds, so it is NOT for newborns. The Max has higher quality fabric that is more breathable, plus it has a magnetic ClipQuick chest buckle.

While the regular version would be a good upgrade from an infant car seat, the Max will serve you from the time you take your baby home until they’re ready for a booster seat. Let’s have a look at some of the features that make the Max stand out from the rest.
