Graco Argos 70 3-in-1 Car Seat - Crest

The seat itself seems quite durable, and our son seems to really enjoy riding in it. However, one of the harness straps somehow became much looser than the other, and we can't figure out how, and am finding it really difficult to tighten it. Also, I have a 2001 CR-V without the latch system and a seatbelt that needs to use the clip. It is a PAIN to get that thing installed! I'm going to try to re-install it AGAIN to see if I can figure out the strap, but after reading the manual and watching about 4 YouTube videos to make sure I was doing it correctly, I'm not looking forward to spending another hour of my time doing it like the first time. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because I'm convinced the install would be easier with Latch, and my son seems comfy and happy. Otherwise, I'd probably give it 2

We purchased this seat online for our four year old based on our experience with our other two Graco seats. Our other seats had the same substantial, easy to operate chest and crotch buckles. This seat has smaller, cheaper, buckles that are difficult to latch, and even more difficult to release. Graco needs to go back to their old design -- I wouldn't buy another seat with the new cheap buckles. The crotch buckle is also poorly placed. Moved to the largest setting, he's sitting on the buckle release (and he's only 40 pounds). The LATCH straps are also poorly designed. The other seats were easy to install and remove. These are considerably more difficult to tighten the straps.

I received the new Car Seat for my son to replace the one he used for the first year. The packaging was simple in that it all came in one piece. The only difficulty I seemed to have was with the shoulder straps. I mistakenly disconnected the right and left shoulder strap with the 1 strap they connect to in the back of the seat. After I fixed my dumb mistake everything else went smoothly. I always had a hard time putting in the car bases with my sons original car seat. I read in a previous review someone had difficulty with installation. Let me assure you, installation took no more than 10-15 minutes. Mind you that was with taking out the old car seat and putting the new one in when it was dark outside and only had my car light! To ensure the seat was secure I used both the Latches and the Seat belt to secure the seat. Before I installed the seat in the vehicle I put my son in the seat in the house and I had no trouble with the buckles. I believe the buckles are meant to be tough to secure your child's safety. SOME women MAY have difficulty with this but I found with my sons first seat after a little bit of use it's not nearly as tough to buckle him in. It's a new product so give it a chance!

Seems roomy and comfortable for my child, but very difficult to buckle the lower part of the belt. The chest clip, clips easy, but you have to push really hard to get the two other belts to click in, which makes it hard, especially with a squirmy kid. It's also difficult to unbuckle. Also, hard to get the car seatbelt through it in the back to hook it in. I have a hard time, even with small hands, it would be almost impossible for my husband to install it in the car with the seat belt as I could barely get it in which makes it even more difficult to change vehicles with.

This car seat was easy to use and install. My son loves it he can look around in it and it is easy to convert to the other seats also.

I am very disappointed with this carseat. I read tons of reviews and most people said they liked theirs. Honestly, I cannot understand why. The straps are so hard to tighten and the release button is nearly impossible to get open with one hand. I assume this is the case with all Graco carseats. I would definitely recommend another brand all together.

We use this every day. The cup is nice for snacks and drinks. The seat does not get too hot in the car or sun which is very important in Phx or anywhere hot.
Its kind of hard to tighten with the thick straps but that's not a bad thing since the straps feel very secure.

We bought this for my 3rd son after his 1st birthday and was ready to graduate out of his infant carrier. He lovess being able to see all that is in front of him now.
The carseat is a great fit. It fits nicely in my van with a high back booster on one side and another convertible carseat on the other side.
No complaints so far with this seat!

Grows well with kids, my son is 4 and I purchased it because he can transition into a booster seat. He loves the drink holder and compartment for snacks or toys. I don't see much of a differance while using the recline option. It loses a star because of its heavy weight!! Overall good product when you don't have to change it from car to car.
