S4M is so misleading!

posted 8th Oct
I am so furious with the Graco size4me/my size 70. We bought it to go into my 08 Ford Escape so our daughter could RF longer. She's 3yrs and 36lbs and 40in so she was at the limit for her CA65 (which we love) and I would love for her to RF until 4yrs. So I read about the seat and fell in love. Bought it and the first day it was hell.

It installed easy as pie and there was a TON of room BUT because the crotch buckle can only stay in the furtherest slot back my daughter couldn't fit. It would pinch her or push into her legs. She's not very big either just long. On top of that the straps were smurf to tighten. I had to pull from the back, tighten, readjust, and pull from the back again and even then it would barely get tight enough. The seat would have been perfect otherwise.

We now have a Graco Nautilus Argos 70 since she can't RF in her CA65 and we can't afford anything with a higher RF limit. Just thought I would post my experience up since so many people are talking about this seat, it didn't work for us.

S4M is the new Graco convertible seat.

CA65 is a Complete Air 65 from Safety 1st.

I thought it was going to be a really awesome seat too. I was excited to get it especially since it would RF my daughter longer. Oh well I hope it works out for othr mommas

Graco has made some modifications to their instructions for rear facing. You can now use the crotch buckle in the forward position for larger rear-facing kids.
There are other changes, too, in order to allow for bigger RF children.

Thanks for posting this. I almost had a heart attack. I just ordered two of these seats like 30 minutes ago.
