Graco is reinventing the Car Seat from Baby to Booster. We are very excited about a seat that can do this. Using a Smart Seat means parents no longer need to purchase multiple car seats. See below the listed features on Graco's website and a video that goes over these exciting new features we can expect really soon.

The Graco® Signature Series™ Smart Seat™ All-in-One car seat is the ultimate in car seat longevity.

For parent's ease of use, there is a one-hand height adjustable head rest with no-thread harness as well as an on-the-go recline so you can recline your child without having to re-install the seat.

  1. The new Graco car seat looks pretty awesome. I wish they'd had one like this when my kids were young. I think we went through 3 or 4 seats for each one. I imagine it will be pricy, but just the thought of not having to "learn" a new car seat at each stage is worth the expense!

  2. You bring up a good point, may still save a lot of money, buying one carseat versus a few.
