Graco Junior Maxi City

Getting the right car seat is so important for your children's safety and it is one of the areas where I don't mind spending a little bit more money in order to get the right one. There is not much difference in age between our two daughters, so we found ourselves recently with the need to be buying replacement car seats for both of them. As they are now both over three, there was no longer any need to get ones with a five point harness, but what I did want to do was to get ones which would last them all the way through to the time when they will no longer need one and would be safe. I looked ... more

Most parents will be aware that it is a legal requirement for children under the age of 12 to use a car seat nowadays (unless they are over 135cm tall.) This particular car seat is a group 2/3 type which the manufacturers state is suitable for children from 3-12 years of age (approximately 15-36kg), as it converts from a forward facing car seat into a booster cushion when appropriate. We've used this particular car seat, the Graco Junior Highback, since my oldest son was around four years old and he, at eight, he still uses this as a booster cushion. Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable ... more

My son has got 2 car seats one for our car and one for his grandparents car, we felt it was time to buy him a new one to go out with his grandparents as the one he currently has is starting to get too small.

I bought the Graco Junior Maxi Car Seat for my daughter when she had just passed her fourth birthday because she had grown out of her toddler car seat. This car seat is suitable for children who weigh between 15 - 36kg - and so that's children who are about 4 until the grow out of car seats altogether - and so we were hoping that this would be the last time we would have to buy this for her. She is now 7 years old and she still comfortably fits in and and it is still in one piece. It cost £34.99 from ToysRUs - and as it has lasted for the last 3 years and is still going strong then I think ... more

When we were looking for a car seat for our son, he was 4 at the time, and we wanted something that would support his head as he had a tendency to fall asleep on long journeys and his head would loll. This came recommended as the best of a decent bunch of car seats, and although I can't remember exactly how much it cost, I remember it was very reasonable at the time. The car seat basically comes in two units. The first is the seat, which acts as a booster seat, with two low arm rests on it. This seat unit has two retractable holders, one on either side, which are a good size for holding pretty ... more
