Graco SlimFit Convertible Seat Annabelle Reviews Summary

Installation

Pros:

• "Its very easy to install and move around between cars because of the button latches."
• "Has multiple install methods."
• "Install was very quick, and I like how easy it is to change the recline for rear-facing -> forward facing -> booster."
• "Super easy to install, very clear instructions."
• "Easy installation. I had no idea how to install this thing and still managed to have it secured and adjusted in like 5 minutes."
• "It’s super easy to install."
• "Every other child seat I’ve owned has required me to feel around in the back of the seat for the metal bar, then try to hold it while i attach the child seat’s clasp to it. But with this seat, you literally just push a button and it attaches to your car’s seat hooks!"

Cons:

• "The hardest part of the rear facing install was finding the car seat attachment points in the back seat of my vehicle."
• "I'm a fan. Fits well in my car and is easy to install (with exception of the tightening mechanism for the belt, which is difficult to tighten without another person pressing down on the release as you tighten)."
• "Honestly this was the hardest car seat I’ve ever had to install."
• "I found this one to be incredibly difficult to install, and I'm still not sure if it's tight enough to be safe."
• "it was just not possible to get it tightly installed using a 3 points seat belt."
• "I drive a dodge minivan, this car seat has been the ABSOLUTE worst to install."
• "It is horrible to install forward and rear facing the anchor clips strap in not long enough at all so it’s basically useless."

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "It fits perfectly in our car and gives my son the space that he needs to not feel cramped."
• "Like the slim fit so it doesn't take up a huge amount of space in the back set."
• "I can fit two of these and my Nuna pippa infant car seat in my 2023 WRX with room to spare."
• "The slimfit provides enough room for 2 other people to sit in the back."
• "This car seat fits PERFECTLY! It still allows the other two back seats to be open and with enough room to fit two people!"
• "This seat is very slim, so it’s easy to install other seats around it if necessary."
• "It's narrow enough to fit three across in our car."

Cons:

• "These are much bigger than I thought."
• "its slim but just not as slim as i thought it would be."
• "in a 3 seat row you really only are going to be able to fit the car seat and one adult comfortably."
• "I drive a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. I like this car seat as far as the size, the ease of putting my child into it and it seems comfy, but it leaves little leg room in the front seats in my Crosstrek."
• "They only downside is the size, it doesn’t fit in my husband's dodge truck because it is so bulky the passenger seat has to be all the way pushed up and no one could sit up there."
• "if there is another car seat you only can fit 2 not 3 next t one another."
• "The slim fit does an exceptionally poor job with a rear facing shoulder belt installation."

Comfort and Safety

Pros:

• "It's comfy as spacious for baby while also being snug enough to ensure their safety in the car."
• "I am confident in its ability to keep my lil one safe."
• "Has lots of cushion and padding which seems to keep my son comfy."
• "Comfort and secure."
• "Great for kids who are too heavy to lug around the infant car seat and still want them snug in a good seat to follow them through the stages."
• "My grandson fits comfortably and he seems comfortable as well."
• "I feel my children are safe in this car seat."
