Graco MyRide 65 Convertible Car Seat - Prentis

Comments about Graco MyRide 65 Convertible Car Seat - Prentis:

Not a bad carseat but it is heavy and bulky to take in and out of the car. I have a midsize SUV and with 2 carseats in the back there is not much room leftover. But I feel this is pretty typical with most carseats.
I do love the fact it has 2 cupholders.
But my biggest complaint about this seat is that it won't last! Supposed to last up until 65 pounds. My son is 3 years old and on the smaller side at 30 pounds, so he is fairly slender. Some days can barely get him buckled in, the straps aren't big enough. He is also pretty short so he really shouldn't have any problem fitting in this carseat.
Overall disappointed. I bought this carseat when he turned one, now after only using for 2 years I will have to go but another carseat.

I bought this exact seat 2 years ago for my son when (at 10 months) he out grew his infant seat. I had a volkswagon Jetta at the time. Seat installed no problem in the middle of the back seat. I used it rear facing until he was 2, then forward facing. Rear facing behind the seats was a little snug, and not possible behind my husband who is 6'. When it was in the middle, I could ride beside it comfortably and did so on long trips to keep him happy. I now have a Subaru Outback, and it is a little harder to install and remove, but that is due to the old latch system on the '01 car. I am looking for a seat for my 11 month old, and would buy this except the all in one and the my size 70 look good too. Only down side, is removing seat for washing and changing straps. I have machine washed and tumble dried the cover 3 times, with no re-fit problems. (just don't over dry)

I absolutely love this car seat. I've had it for two years in a half and my son can sleep there for hours. I love the fact that he's head stay's put and it doesn't tilt to the front like other car seats. He is also high up and can see the road. It's also practical for small and big cars. It's easy to adjust when the baby grows making the secure belts bigger. Also easy to take it out of the car. I recommend this car seat to anybody.

So after reading numerous reviews about how this was really big and had trouble fitting in many cars, I overthought the installation. It took about five minutes and, rear-facing, fits perfectly in my Toyota Corolla. There's even room for people to sit on either side of the car seat. Small people, I fit fine but wouldn't want to ride that close for too long. The only "negative" I would say is that the colors online look light gray and lime green. The car seat in person is dark gray and a darker shade of gray. I plan on using this carseat from day one with my newborn.

We received this car seat as a gift and at the time my husband and I only had one vehicle ( a Nissan frontier). Unfortunately the car seat was too big and bulky, it fit fine but the passenger front seat had to be moved all the way forward, to the point that no one could ride in the front seat. We tried returning the car seat, but they wouldn't take it back because it had already been opened. We ended up trading our car in for one with a bigger back seat, even though there is more room in our new car we still don't like the car seat. It is low quality and it is very hard to tighten. Would not recommend this product.

We bought this one when our (then) 7m old outgrew her infant seat. I couldnt get it to latch by myself when it was rear facing bc the latch belt isn't long enough to comfortably stretch from on hook to the other and it DOES NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE fit in anything smaller than a full size back seat. It fits snugly in the backseat of our 4 door sedan but not my truck.
It seems to have been a fairly comfortable ride for our daughter in the 14months that we've had it. It is difficult to clean and the actual seat part of it is oddly narrow. Unfortunately it was a slight waste of money bc of how little we've been able to use it, but at least we got it on clearance at another store.
There is no way our daughter will fit in it when she reaches 65 lbs and it's just too heavy to be conveniently moved between vehicles.

I love the my ride carseat for the cupholders and the amazingly easy recline and positioning without a towel or noodle. The seat is very roomy as well BUT, the padding for a smaller child doesn't stay put and there is nothing once you remove it to hold a babies head and since it is so roomy even my giant headed 18month olds head lops to the side.Plus to wash either the infant pad or the cover you need to take it out and undo the straps. And the biggest thing that i hate is their latch system is old fashioned anymore and it stinks. I can not get it tight enough to where i am comfortable even with my husbands 200lb self holding it down while i pull. I love it forward facing but i am buying another seat b/c i am sick of dreading taking his seat out. Buy the Britax seat with a super easy latch it may be smaller but it's safer

My son is perfectly reclined in this seat, it makes him so comfy. He hated riding backwards so we switched to front facing as soon as possible. I'm buying another for my new baby.

We were given one car seat and purchased this one for my husband's truck. We have had good luck with the Graco brand so we stuck with it. This one also looked comparable to the one we already had. We put this one in my husband's crew cab pickup because we thought it might fit better. I think it would probably fit fine in my 4Runner in the middle. I would have to move my seat up while rear-facing. Overall, I think this car seat is great and easy to use and install. The pattern is cute and the material is nice. Would recommend.
