Oh look at you getting sponsored by loveEvery!!! Well deserved- always helpful content and filmed well .
You are my go to!
Thanks for getting this video up with having baby girl within the last 24 hours! Contrast! And keep up the posting! Loving it! Blessings to Katie, you and the beautiful kiddos!
That's the beauty of scheduled uploads, haha. Have the next few videos already done and ready for upload as we prepped for baby.
Perfect timing on the video. We are shopping this weekend for a car seat. Our baby will be here Monday!
What’s the difference in this extend 2 fit vs the extend2fit 3in1 that makes the 3in1 not have the recline rule? First time dad and finally moving out of the basic bassinet style infant car seats. Having a major headache searching for the right car seat. 😣
Another common complaint with the regular extend2fit is that the straps are hard to tighten. The 3 in 1 version has rollers which make tightening the straps so smooth! Honestly I’ve found the 3 in 1 to be the best bang for your buck!! It doesn’t have the awkward recline rule AND it’s so easy to tighten. We love ours! It’s honestly our favorite convertible and we even considered the one4life and the Rava but went with the extend2fit 3 in 1!
Thank you! This sold me on the 3 in 1
We have 3 in 1 but it’s still
Difficult to tighten
I find maxi cosi straps hardest to tighten. The extend2fit I never have a problem
Holy crap I was just looking at this instead of the Graco 4ever dxl . Creeeeepy hahahaha thanks for the review! It's also Target's carseat trade in event right now
Can you please do a review on evenflo 360 rotation car seat
Appreciate all the videos man first time dad here and I have bought many of the things you have recommended. Would really like to see if you can squeeze a video on the top performance brands for a new born ? Expensive budget video?
Great stuff!!!! Thanks for making this
Watched your video before heading to BuyBuyBaby with my wife. Funny enough we found a 4Ever Extend2fit with a beat up box on sale! Would've completely walked right by it if I didn't watch your video, THANKS!
Thanks for the detailed review. You mention in passing that there is a safety rule of having at least 80% of the car seat on the seat of the car -- this makes logical sense, but where is this rule from? I have a mid-size sedan and the back seat is only 17" deep, 18.5" if I include a ridge above where most people's butts rest and likely the hard stop of the car seat as well. Using 17" as my depth, that means the car seat I install cannot be longer than 21.25".
All these 3-in 1 and convertible seats I am looking at are 23"-25" in depth. Is this 80% rule so critical that if I am at, say 70%, I am putting my child at risk?
I didn't know about the 4 rule, thanks!
Do you have any recs for travel-friendly car seat options? Our baby is about to outgrow her infant carseat and we're looking for a portable (potentially foldable) car seat that we can take on flights that won't weigh us down once we land and are in and out of Ubers or taxis. I've heard mixed reviews about the WAYB Pico.
Do you not use isofix in the USA? They all appear to be seatbelt mounted.
We do, there’s just a weight limit for them. Once your child reaches a certain weight, you have to use the seatbelt.
@@labellavita992 Just use both👍
Hey Andrew have you heard about the Evenflo Gold Otto, love your videos!
installation was quiete easy if you know how the common basic concept of car seats. It is our second car seat and many websites show this brand is a good overall solution. Pro: defintily the price, it is big car seat with some extras and comes with all FDA stuff. Buckling is easy and not so complicte. Rear-facing in the first 2 year? Well, It depands on your child and driving style. I'd say 12 months if you baby big enough. The recline story is kind of silly. It is the biggest disadvantage of the seat. But we can live with it since we dont use much.
Still don't know how to recline after this video.
Great video!!
I love my britax one4life.
With our daughter due in October though, I’m going to compare the 3in1 in this as well for compactness.
Stick with the One4Life.
@@dadverb yeah?
Well i needed a second seat bc the next baby girl coming this fall.
The install was cake!!
I’m considering the evenflo gold revolv 360 though
My wife has one and I’m so jealous 🤣🤣
@@dadverb Picking out a carseat is becoming the hardest decision so far and price doesnt matter😂
@@dadverb Any thoughts/experience with rotating car seats (like the Evenflo Gold Revolve 360)?
@@sammolaw314 Havent tried the Evenflo but masive fan of the BabyJogger Citi Turn and Cybex Sirona

The latch use the same conectors that isofix, being attached to the car steel bar
I hate my Graco 4ever extend to fit and probably WILL NOT get Graco again. It's just too bulky and is a hassle to get my son out of it without me almost twisting him in half. With 3K chiropractor bill THAT IS THE LAST THING I WANT. Hopefully if you have a SUV it's easier but we have sedans.
I also sit in the back and I'm 120lb 5'1" and I'm uncomfortable with it in the middle section. I dread thinking how many more months and years I have to endure it. He's currently 15months. Once he graduates car seat I doubt I'll keep the booster. I want to make a bondfire and throw the monster in. Sorry I'm being dramatic but I really do regret this purchase. Thankfully I bought it for 60%off.
If we have another child I will look to spend more money on a better seat with lower profile.
The buckle is really low! How do I adjust it please?
Wondering if my Toyota Corolla big enough for the extendfit.
The E2F is one of the slimmer options and will certainly be a fit for the Corolla.
I have mine in my Corolla and it fits like a charm! Enough for a 6ft dad, me, in the front seat!
@@lanceschmidt1001 even with the 5 inch extension it fits ok?
@@lanceschmidt1001 wow thank you for this info
does the 80% (on the seat) rule also apply for rear facing?
Can this car seat be used with the stroller?
No..
Can new born infants use this right from the hospital?
Missed opportunity to actually show it in your car and taking some measurements...
For the leg extend, do you extend it out then latch it in? I feel like the base should be up against the back seat?
I extended it before installing it
Hi! Could you comment on the cupholder shape? I noticed that they’re squared instead of the traditional round shape. Do they fit alright with toddler bottles, cups, etc.? Thanks in advance!
Dude, you covered everything but when a viewer actually wanted to see. Namely the transition from an install with a base to this and how to actually install this damn thing with clarity. That is what will get people to click your links when buying.
I have a 4ever extend2fit and the only downside is the fact that the cupholders never stay in place. They jostle out at the slightest movement and I've already managed to lose one.😥
Cup holders MUST be installed with this seat per the manual so I would reach out to Graco for a replacement. Also, the cup holders do not easily come out when properly secured. You have to really push down until you hear it click in. And once it’s in, it doesn’t come out. 😊
I’ve had this one for over two years, and I haven’t been able to take them out… so stuck in there it’s not even worth the bother, I just clean with a rag.
@@Nohemi_Calderon the replies are definitely making me concerned about my car seat. I know I installed it correctly and I definitely hear a click. But every time I took my daughter her feet would easily just jostle them out. It’s frustrating for me bc I know they need to be installed to be considered “safe” I guess I just have to contact Graco.
Help. Can’t get it to recline. Wierd.
