Graco All-In-One Car Seat Review

The Graco all in one Milestone car seat is supposed to be the only seat you will need for your child. You can use it from birth (36kg) to 12 years. One expense that is versatile enough to comfortably seat your child throughout their child years.

"Ideal Seat For Baby, Toddler and Young Child"

To strap your child in, this is done so easily by using the 5 point harness for babies and 4 point harness for older children. Also has enough support for your child whilst sleeping. so no more flopping around during your journey.

However the Graco is not a lightweight car seat and is wide, so small cars could only fit two in the back with the middle seat restricted.

Currently priced at £220, we think this is worth the price as this is a one time fee. There are no additional extra you have to purchase. This works out to be £18.33 a year , with regular cleaning there is no reason why this car seat wont go the distance. It is worth knowing there is a 2 year warranty in the UK. Universal only, which means it is only fitted with a seat belt.

Once you order your Graco All-in-one Milestone car seat, with arrives already assembled, so no need to waste time trying to figure out the instructions. All you need to do is choose the child seat you need and follow the instruction to adjust.
