Our Thoughts
Both the Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 and the Graco Turn2Me 3-in-1 car seats have excellent safety features, are versatile, and designed to grow with your child. They both have a 10 year expiry, making them a long-term investment.
The Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1, accommodating a weight range from 4 to 120 lbs, is a premium car seat that can transition from a rear-facing infant seat to a forward-facing seat, and eventually, a belt-positioning booster. With unique features like a rapid-remove cover, no-rethread harness, and a steel-reinforced frame, this car seat offers superior protection while also being Easy to install and clean. However, some challenges have been reported with this car seat. The harness may not securely fit larger infants or toddlers, and the positioning for infants may lead to discomfort. Also, the car seat is quite bulky, which might pose a problem in smaller cars.
On the other hand, the Graco Turn2Me 3-in-1 can accommodate a weight range of 4-100 lbs, and also provides the flexibility of rear-facing, forward-facing, and highback booster modes. It stands out due to its unique rotating feature, allowing easier access when loading and unloading your child while the seat is rear-facing. This car seat is focused on comfort with plush infant inserts, and utilizes Graco's SnugLock technology for quick installation. However, it's worth noting that the rotating feature only works in the rear-facing mode, and the size and weight of the car seat may not be suitable for smaller cars or parents often transferring the seat between vehicles.
After thoroughly analyzing both car seats, if budget is not a concern, the Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1 may have a slight edge due to its ability to transition to a backless booster, thus accommodating a child up to 120 lbs. This means that the car seat can provide utility even till elementary school age. The maximum weight for the Graco Turn2Me 3-in-1 in its forward-facing and highback booster modes is 100 lbs, which although is typically enough to last until your child no longer needs a booster, falls short compared to the Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1.
However, if easy loading and unloading in the rear-facing position is of high priority for you, or if you often struggle with placing your baby in the rear-facing seat due to the height of your vehicle or strain on your back, the Graco Turn2Me 3-in-1 with its rotating feature might be the perfect fit. The bottom line is, both seats are excellent options, and the best choice for you depends on your specific needs and the physical constraints of your vehicle.
