Graco Comfort Sport Delux

NewMommy · Apr 14, 2003

Has anyone heard of the Graco Comfort Sport Delux? I went convertible car seat shopping today. I fell in love with, of course, the RoundAbout, but it's out of my price range. I did see however, the Graco Comfort Sport Delux. It looked very comfortable, easy to use, etc., but I have not heard anything about it. If anyone knows anything about it, please let me know. I appreciate it very much
Thanks!

It's a nice seat in a nice price range.

It's a tall seat with high top harness slots, so a child will be able to use it longer both rear-facing and forward-facing. The straps may tend to twist and if you are installing the seat rear-facing, the harness adjuster may get buried in the back seat cushion. The seat also tends to install fairly easily in many cars, which is a bonus.

What age/size child are you using it for? Remember to buy only the 5-point harness version of this seat, not the overhead shield.

Thank you MurphyDog

I'm buying for my 9 month old daughter. She is 20lbs. if not a lb. or 2 heavier, and around 28-29 inches (we go for her 9mo. check up tomorrow).
The seat I was looking at was the 5 point harness. It's very nice and the material used on the seat is breathable, unlike her carrier-She always sweats in her carrier.
I visited consumerreport.com and read that the seat is only rated good for crashes, but very good and excellent in everything else. I'm more concerned with the ratings on crashes. So I'm debating on the Evenflo, although the Graco, I'm still looking into.
If you know of anywhere else I could find good information on ratings, please let me know.
Thanks so much!

The Comfort Sport is a fine choice

Please don't put too much faith in the testing by Consumer Reports. It is quite possible they exaggerate small differences to sell magazines. If you like a model that fits your child and vehicle very well, it will be very safe if used properly. Also see:

Thank you CPSDarren
I'll take that into consideration when I make my decision.
Also, I forgot to give you the model # for those of you who may have information on the Graco Comfort Sport Delux. The model # is: 44912LCBX
I also really like the EvenFlo Triuph 5. It is rated #3 at Consumerreports.com. Any info. anyone might have on it would be great as well.
Thank you all again, I really do appreciate your thoughts and value your advise.
