I bought this for my 7 month old daughter and was very disappointed. The five point harness buckle is way too big and was digging into her thighs and hurting her. I returned it to the store.
Comfy and safe

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
this seat was so easy to set up, and my daughter is so comfortable in it. It wasn't too hard to install either. This is a really great seat for the money, and I LOVE the pattern. We bought this because my jumbo-butt baby girl outgrew her graco-snugride at 6 months, and she loves the fact that she can now sit up and look around. i wish there was some way i could attatch a toy bar for her, but thats only a little tiny thing, and other than that this seat is wonderful!
Beautiful!

Bought this for my 3 year old. She is very tall but still wonderful - In my opinion its the best!...Started to take it back after seeing the size. SOOO glad we kept it. My daughters head doesnt bob anymore when she sleeps. It reclines just enough. She is kinda swaddled in it on the sides. I feel she is very safe in this seat. Very easy to buckle and unbuckle for adults. Installed quickly. Actually have more room in between this one and my other daughters seat than before with the other one. She loves the pillow!Comes in other colors too but we like the purple Alma. The cupholders are SUPER! 2 of them which is used for one snacks and the other drink. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
The seat is extremely comfortable, my daughter is 10 months old and when she first saw it she was all smiles and wanted to crawl right in, she got in and laid back like it was a recliner chair, she definetly approved. The only downsides I see so far are that when rear facing it is pretty large, we have a large backseat and it just barely fits without having to move the front seat so far up that it wouldn't work. Also I would have loved if the cupholders were removable, we all know how often those need washed. I was however, plesantly suprised by the color of the seat, it is not as bright of a purple as pictured, to my relief. Its a great seat, I'm thinking about getting another for our other vehicle, I love that we won't need to buy another seat since this goes pretty much forever. I definetly recommend it.
Highly Recommended!

We own three of these for our kids 4 and under. Absolutely love them. They are comfortable and all have convenient cup holders. I can't believe we ever owned anything else. The best part is that they will be in the harness until 65 lbs. Totally worth the money!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
This is one of the first car seats I looked at when searching for new seats for my twin one-year-old girls, and as I continued researching, I kept coming back to it. I read a lot of good things about it, and I LOVE purple. A number of people recommended the Britax seats to me, but that was way out of my budget. The price of these seats was much more affordable, the colors are beautiful, the cupholders are great, and the seats fit just fine in my Dodge Charger. I was a little concerned with how they would fit because a number of reviews mentioned people having trouble getting them to fit, but we had no problem. Installation was incredibly easy, and once we figured out how to adjust the straps, that was easy too. The only kind of difficult thing we ran into was adjusting the height of the straps. Overall we LOVE the car seats :).
Great Car Seat

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I bought this product from Babies R Us and paid $50 more even though the style I got was on clearance. Needed it for my son who is six months and just past both 22 lb and 29 in limits on the infant carrier. We'll my daughter who is 2 liked his seat so much that I went online to see if I could find another one for her. I found this one at WalMart and bought it the same day. What a deal and the pattern is super cute, she loves it. I especially like that it puts her up higher so she can see out the windows better and that she is a little more reclined than in her old seat so when she falls asleep her head doesn't flop down. The only things I don't love are that the cup holders are a bit too big so sippy cups tend to tip and spill a bit of milk onto the armrests if they are full and it is pretty heavy and the strap set up in back is a bit complicated so it takes a few minutes to undo and redo everything if you need to wash the cover.
I love this car seat!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
After buying my daughter 3 different car seats and her hating each one, I purchased this one. It is awesome! She loves it! No more crying during car rides! It also is tilted back a little more than my others so when she falls asleep her neck isn't all falling forward and uncomfortable. I also love the fact that it goes up to 40lbs rear facing. She's 21 months now and 23lbs and still fits great in it. We have a few more years to enjoy it! It looks nice, safe, & comfy. We're expecting our second child soon and definitely will be purchasing another one! If you need a car seat, BUY this one, don't waste your time or money on any other!
Love Graco!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I got this seat for my 10 month old, who was outgrowing her infant seat. I have been using it for about a month, I love it, and she loves it! It is a very big seat, and rear facing it takes up a lot of room. I debated between this seat and the Graco Nautlilus 3-in-1, but I think for her age, this seat is much more comfortable because it does have a natural recline, the Nautilus sits very straight up. Overall, this is a great seat, and I have already recommended it to my friends. I love that the harness should fit her until 65lbs. I purchased this seat and the Nautilus for my 3 year old on a Monday night, and by Thursday morning, both seats had been delivered to my house!

I really love this car seat. It has a natural recline and looks great in my Tahoe. I've only used it forward facing, though. It's refreshing to have a purple seat, since most of my other things are pink! Is very sturdy and I'd definitely recommend.
Great Buy

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I bought this car seat (in black) for my son when his infant seat just became too heavy to carry around anymore! He was probably around 17/18 lbs. at the time. I LOVE this seat. He sits deep in the seat, it has a cupholder on either side of him (great for snacks, drinks, or toys), and overall just looks pretty comfy! I was rearended at a stop light one day with my son in the car and had no problems with the car seat at that time either. It is recommended to discard car seats involved in any accident so I bought the SAME one! It was a great price and I like that he can stay rear-facing up to 40 lbs. The only minor irritants I've come across is that I have a hard time adjusting the strap that is part of the rear-facing latch system. It also takes up quite a bit of space and my front passenger seat has to be slid up quite a ways (I drive a Hyundai Tucson). But I would go back to this seat over & over again if I had to chose.
I Love this carseat!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I recently bought this carseat for my 5 month old Son (in a different color of course) and after buying it for him, I had to get this one for my 2 year old Daughter. It is so cute! The picture does it no justice. The pattern is much cuter in person. I love the cupholders. They are so handy. I love how comfortable they seem to be. They sit deep which I like because I want my babies to be comfortable during long road trips. They are not too straight up and down when forward facing, they have just the right tilt, which I, also like because it seems better for sleeping! Easy to install. No assembly required, just pull it out of the box! I love this seat and I would recommend it to any mom. A great Investment!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
Very good product. Very comfy for my little girl as she is 8 months and out-grown her infant car seat. I love the fact that she can extend rear face until 35lbs... When installing, we did have to put a rolled up old towel at the base- but that was no big deal. She instantly falls asleep when she gets in to her MyRide. And the cup holders are great for a sippy in one spot and, puffs in the other. Great Buy!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I was so excited to get this car seat after ordering online. I really like the seat but it is very large! When the box came, it was about the size of a box a dish washer would come in. Then I couldnt believe when I took the seat out of the box. It is huge! We have a trailblazer and this would not fit in our back seat well at all rear facing! The front seat has to be all the way up for this to fit. I think it will be fine once it's facing forward, but beware if you are getting this to be rear. I'm going to stick with it until we can switch though. It its super nice, very soft and plush and comfy! It's well worth it, if you don't mind LARGE!

I loooove this carseat!! This is my second Graco carseat. Not only are the directions clear and easy to understand, but graco carseats have a roller ball indicator on the side that lets you know it's installed properly. My 2yr old was so excited about the cup/snack holders too. She has fallen asleep in it so much more than the Britax marathon I got a year ago for our other car. Wish I had gotten this the first time, its so much cuter and less expensive! Colors are much cuter in person and the suede feeling material is super soft. You won't regret this purchase!
My baby love it!

Friday afternoon we were t-boned going through an intersection. The other driver was going around 50mph. My daughter was hit full force since we were hit on the drivers side where she sits. She is 2.5 and was rear facing in this car seat. She walked away from the wreck without a scratch on her. This car seat 100% saved her life. It was super easy to install. Is super comfortable and we've had zero problems with it. I cannot recommend it enough.

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I purchased the Myride 65 after reading several reviews from a online forum and the reviews on Walmart.com Even though it was more than I wanted to spend, I thought the fact that I would never have to buy another carseat made it worth the price. I also loved the color, it's so girly! Very easy to setup even rear facing. I own a Suzuki XL7 and it fit great rearfacing. We are now foward facing and I love the fact that when she sleeps in it, she is kinda tilted back and her head isn't thrown foward. Great product and we even call it her "Princess Seat".

I had been "eyeballing" this car seat for a few weeks. I had checked around and Walmart had the best price. When I decided to order it I logged on and to my surprise it was on sale for $81 w/free shipping to my home! How can you beat that??? I ordered on Sunday night and received that Wed morning. The box had seen better days and it wasn't taped shut very well but the seat was fine. Literally took me about 1 min to install into my Trailblazer using the Latch system. Fits just fine...actually takes less space than the Cosco one I have.(which is a very nice seat too) I love this car seat but more importantly my daughter loves it too! Would buy again and again:)

Just got my MyRide65 last night. Super cute, loved the purple which wasn't as dark as is pictured. Better if you ask me. The car seat seams immense, but that is for safety, I'm sure. Graco's instructions are never the best but it was very easy in install rear facing. I wouldn't have a problem taking the seat out for my mother in law to use. I have a compact 4 door sedan and even still, it fit nicely. I can see my 8 month old using this until she doesn't need a carseat any longer. Love it!
Absolutely best for the price!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
There are more expensive carseats out there with some nice features (such as a taller shell) but for the price this seat absolutely cannot be beat! A 40lb rear-facing weight limit will get most kids to age three, some to 4 or 5 and it is SO important to have a seat available that will make that possible for families who can't afford (or would rather not buy!) $300 carseats.
Love it!

My baby is 7 months old and usually wants out of her carseat as soon as you put her in, so I expected the same when we put her in to adjust it to her. To my surprise she actuallt pulled her arms in and turned away from me, she LOVES her new seat and so do I! It is lightweigt, easily adjusts and the cupholders are a bonus. I recommend this product and plan to buy another for our 2nd car.

I needed a new carseat for my van so my daughter's other one could be used as a spare. I wanted one that she could use until she hit 8 yrs old or the weight limit, whichever one comes first. This one definitely fit the bill. I found this particualar design (Alma) on the website and fell in love! We like purple for girls (not so much for the pink) and this one is gorgeous. Purple is so hard to find. It also looked very padded and comfortable and it has the five point harness system I was looking for. It was very easy to install and it only took about 5 minutes (forward facing with the latch system) She seems to like it and it seems like a great seat for the price. I recommend this carseat.

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I purchased this for my one-year old daughter. when i took it out of the box, she immediately began crawling all over it and checking it out. She seems really comfy in it, and almost always falls asleep when she's not making silly faces at herself in the mirror! I love the cup holders. They are big enough to stick toys in too. I have her rear-facing (she weighs almost 21 pounds), and plan to keep her that way until 40 pounds. I have a dodge ram 1500 quad cab, and she's positioned behind my seat. I'm 5'9", so it's a little tight for me, but i like having her behind me for now. The seat has a slight natural recline, but i wish it could recline a bit more. Other than that, it's a great seat with good looks & comfort.

I was so excited to see this on sale for such a great price. It was exactly what I wanted for my 1 year old daughter. I will say that it is on the bigger side so if you have a smaller car you may want to rethink your purchase. I have a Dodge Intrepid and it fits great into that. My husband's Prius on the other hand it would be a very tight squeeze. I am happy with the ease of set up. The toughest thing was getting the locking clip on the seatbelt. I absolutely love this and would recommend it to anyone!

When it arrived it was everything it said it'd be and more! It showed up at my door even sooner then shipping promised. My daughter loves this car seat!!! I am very satisfied!!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I love this carseat. My 15 month old is 32" & 23 lbs. We put the seat in our Toyota Camry and it fit just fine behind the passenger seat. I do have it rear facing as her feet don't hit the back seat yet. The headrest was a bit weird, didn't seem to fit correctly at all but it's easily removed by velcro. My daughter loves the built-in cup holders to store her pacifier in and other little toys. It is a large seat but looks very durable and comfortable, too. Set up was okay--I think putting ANY carseat in is a bit of a pain. So far we're thrilled with the price and quality.

This is a comfy, safe and pretty carseat. I wish they had the MyRIDE65 when my boys were little!

She looks much more comfortable now. I feel like she is safer in this seat as well.
The colors are great, and I think my daughter approves as well.
The seat was very easy to install. It is easy to adjust, and simple to get her in and out.
We are very happy with this seat and would most defininitely recommend it!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
Seems to be very comfy!!!! Love the colors!!!! Very sturdy and all car seats in my opinion are a pain in the rear to install as they should be because they are made to protect our children and this one was no different. It is HUGE!!! but....it sits up high off of the seat so it doesnt take up any additional seat space. I have children that sit on both sides of the carseat and they actually have more room than when we had the infant seat because it sits up so high. All in all very happy I decided to go with this carseat. I wanted it originally and thought it would be too big for my Accord but I bought it anyways to see how it would work and I am sooo glad I did. BTW...my daughter loves it....she sits up so high that she can see everything and its sleep WONDERFULLY!!!!! Hopes this review helps you!!!!
Great price, great product!

Love this seat, and my daughter does too. She's a big girl at 6 months (18.5 lbs, 27.5") and she fits nicely in this seat. She falls asleep almost every time she's in it, unless she just woke up! Her head does tilt to the side just a bit, but we did remove the insert as it was several inches below the top of her head. It was pretty easy to install, as compared to the Safety 1st Alpha Omega. It's a big seat, however, have a rental right now (Chevy Cobalt) and it fits fine in there. We'll be buying a 2nd one for our other car.

This car seat is very cute!! My daughter loves it! She hasn't always been the best car rider, but after turning her around in this seat she does better! It is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be and takes up a lot of room in the back seat. There is still room for other passengers, it just sits up high! And I wish that it didn't lay back as much as it does. I wish she sat up a little bit more. Overall I love the car seat and for the price it's a great buy. . .very cute for little girls!!!
LOVE IT

Easy to set up-Just pull out of the box adjust the straps and hook it in! It is very affordable, and great quality. My 2 yr old daughter absolutely loves it! It's slightly reclined so she can sleep easily and it sit up high enough so she can easily see out the window. It's a little large but totally worth the comfort. I would definitely recommend this product!
Perfect Car Seat!

I really like this car seat! My 8 month old daughter falls asleep any time we go some where. She looks so comfortable! It is big and does take alot of room up in the back seat. It would have been easier to set up if I read the directions better, haha! Once we figured it out it was easy! The strap on the very front of the car seat loosens the shoulder straps, just remember that if you buy it, took us a whole day to figure that one out. Over all it seems like a great seat and I am very pleased with my purchase!
wonderful

I really like this carseat, I think it is a good value and I love that it can rear face to 45lbs and forward face to 65lbs. We probably wont have to buy another carseat! It looks very cushy and my daughter seems comfortable in it. The only drawback is that it is HUGE, if you have to fit more than 2 seats in the back or if you have a small car that might be a problem. It fits fine in my 4 door with my sons booster seat in the back too and if we have to we can squeeze it in our 2 door.
This Car Seat Rocks

I read the reviews and they were useful, i saw the pattern and i liked it, I read i could i extend my daughters rear facing time and fell in love with it.
My daughter is 19 months and still only 20 lbs, the weight limit 4 rear facing is 40 which at her rate she'll be in it till she is 4yrs. (lol) The seat is really BIG but it reminds me of a baby version of the Lazy-Boy (LOL)
My daughter absolutely loves it and so does my husband and I. I hope you do to.
Solid Purchase

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
Can't go wrong with a GRACO. have had it for a month now definitely more comfortable for my daughter, we were however upgrading from a baby seat to a convertible. so fa no complaints, and really appreciate the fact we can seat her rear facing some more time (until 35 according to he manual) height permitting. Like the textile on the seat and the cup holders are useful, only complaint, one has to make sure the shoulder straps are not twisted. front up loosening of the straps is not as easy as I would have liked
Another great Graco product

A beautiful car seat, though it was quite a bit bigger than I expected. Other than that, I love this car seat. My daughter appears very comfortable and I'm sure will love it even more when I can turn her around to face forward.
Great seat

This is an awsome convertable car seat. I had been looking for this particular color in the model and it looks like I bought the last one available from walmart. My daughter LOVES the color and pattern, she just keeps touching and running her fingers over the pattern. the seat is very soft and cushy and she seems to be very comfortable. The instructions are also very easily understood and the pully in the front makes adjusting the tightness of the harness super easy.
A very safe and comfy seat.

I just purchased this seat for my 5 month old daughter. When I opened the box I could not believe how mammoth in size it was. I did not think it would fit in my Chevy Uplander. To my amazement it fit just fine and we still had room to put the front seat back, with it rear facing. The first time I put my daughter in it and buckled her in I knew that she was as safe as she could be. The recline for rear facing is perfect for her to rest comfortably with out her head hanging over and straining her neck.
This is my 5th child and out of all the carseats I have ever owned(a lot), this is by far the best one. There is nothing better than the feeling that your children are safe.

I bought this car seat for my 11 month old daughter. She was getting to big for her infant carrier but wasn't ready to be turned around yet. We were also looking for a seat that would grow with her. This seat is everything we were looking for. It can rear face up to 40 pounds which means she can still be rear facing until I'm comfortable enough to turn her around.
First off, this seat is beautiful. The pictures online do not do it justice. The colors are bright and bold but not too much if you know what I mean. It's a seat I can see any little girl getting excited to sit in b/c of it's colors. If you want a girlie seat without overdoing the pink, then I think this is your seat.
Set up was alright. The only problem we came across was the adjusting of the straps for the height of them. My husband had to figure it out for me but now that he was showed me it really doesn't seem that hard to do. We had it check out by the police to make sure it was installed correctly before we used it and it was pretty easy to install with using the anchors with the LATCH system. Adjusting the tightness of the straps is REALLY easy. It's a simple strap that you pull at the bottom of the car seat to tighten them. It's not hard to untighten as well.
The two cupholders built in are great. We don't often have drinks in the car for her yet but for now we put a binkie in one of them and a rattle in the other so she always has those within her reach.
The seat appears to be big but it fits just fine in my Ford Taurus (2003). I was worried when I looked at one in the store after ordering this one online but it fits great and doesn't seem to be much bigger as far as room take up than the infant carrier. I can still sit back there with her if I need to and the seat is not touching my front seats at all as well.
My daughter was not handling long car rides well in her infant seat anymore because she couldn't see anything outside or see anyone so I would h

I love it. It allows my 14 month old daughter to sleep without her head slumping over forward. When I saw this car seat on line, I knew I had to have it. It was easy to install and it sets up high enough for her to look out the windows. It is very soft and cushiony for her comfort. She has plenty of room on both sides and looks very comfortable. She has taken a few naps in it on the way home from grandma's house and her head does not slump like it did in the other car seat I purchased. We put it in grandma's car. We love this new car seat and I would recommend it.

After my daughter out grew her infant car seat we bought one that she could sit in until she was 45 pounds and she always cried to get out of it. However, she is so tall that she has already out grew it at only 25 pounds. But now that we have this one she loves to sit in it. She actually doesn't want to get out. Also this one is great for her height! I would recommend this to anyone! I love this car seat and so does my daughter. I wish I would have bought this one to begin with.
great carseat!!!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
this is an amazing seat!!! the colors are even better in person(the Alma pattern) and the 40lbs rear facing limit means my 2.5 year old can still rear face and be safer in the car!! the seat looks large at first, but once it was in my Mazda MPV it didn't look that much larger than her 3-in-1 seat that RF to 33 lbs. i would say this is a comparable seat to the Sunshine Kids Raiden or the Britax seat that rear face to the same weight, and for 50-150$ less! just make sure you have your seat checked/installed by a CPST, go to safekids.org to find one near you(this is a free service) over 90% of seats are installed/used incorrectly, is yours?

I love this car seat. I have two infants and had purchased two different carseats, once I received the my ride and installed it in the car, I had to sell the other one and orderded another my ride in a different color. It fits nicely in my mid sized SUV and the babies fit nice and snug. It is easy to use and sits nicely rear facing. Best of all, the girls love the seat, it sits them up nice and high. I would definitely reccomend this car seat to others!

I'm really glad I purchased this car seat. It was easy to install, very comfortable for my daughter, and I like that it's purple (girl stuff always seems to be pink, which in not my favorite color). This carseat fits well in my truck and it's very easy to adjust the tension in the seatbelt. And best of all, it's rear facing up to 40 lbs!!!!

I got this for my daughter when it started to get cold and she did look to comfortable in her infant carrier with her big coat on. I wish I would of got a convertible seat from day one. Would of saved my self 60 dollars because my baby loves this car and only used the other one for 4 months. I would highly recommend this product and the color is perfect. And the cup holder is a plus for when she is older only thing I miss from the old car is the ability to attach the toy bar.

This car seat is great. First, the colors are so beautiful in person, the online pictures do not do it justice. The seat is a little wide but I feel my child is much more protected in this seat than others I had looked at. It was easy to install and adjust the straps. She loves riding in it and looks very comfortable. Her head does not fall foward when she is sleeping which is nice.

I bought this seat for my 15 month old daughter who was just about to outgrow her infant seat. We both had very high expectations as she was 100% attached to her Chicco infant seat, but the moment she sat in this seat she was in love! The seat was very easy to install using LATCH. My daughter falls asleep in it on almost every trip over 20 minutes so it must be comfortable! The cup holders are great for keeping her drinks and snacks within reach. It is easy to clean and adjust. Great seat for a reasonable price.

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I love this seat and would have gave it 5 stars all around but I didn't realize it was a tad on the larger side. I have a dodge charger and it is a little too big for my car. It will fit but the pagenger seat has to be moved up and sitting almost straight up. We are going to get a bigger car anyway but just thought I would mention it since when I bought this seat I didn't even think about the size of it. OTHER than that... it is perfect... my daugher LOVES it. She fits soooo well in it and much better than her infant seat that we got rid of : ) Super cozy and super soft!!

I love this carseat. Its very pretty and my daughter seems comfortable in it. It is pretty bulky and having a smaller vehicle it was a bit challenging fitting it in the back seat rear facing. But we figured out a way and I love it.

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I bought the seat for my 10 month old but my three year old took it over. She loves it. She is around 40 lbs and 40 inches and you can see how she fits in it. Everytime she climbs in it she says "I love my new carseat!" She says it's very comfortable. I love how far it reclines. The cupholders are great. They're built in, not just hooked on the side. I appreciate the safety features the most. The straps buckle easily and securely. The sides are higher to protect her head and neck. It's easy to install and fits securely. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that the straps have not twisted - yet anyway! Beautiful colors. Highly recommend.
Very Nice Car Seat

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
We had a reclining car seat before this one and never really felt safe with her in it. We went to another retailer so we could set her in it(our local Walmart has them tied to the shelf) to see how it fit her and we were sold. The natural recline on this is perfect and feels much safer to me than the reclining models and we don't have the problem anymore of her head falling to the side while asleep. Our little girl is left handed and this one is perfect again in that it has built in cup holders on each side. The old one had a cup holder that snapped on the side and it was too low and always fell off.
After going to the store and trying many seats this one was perfect for us and I'm sure it would (will) be for you as well.

My darlin daughter was fast out
growing her infant carrier seat. I researched car seats and decieded on the My Ride...only one problem the cover i wanted, Alma< was sold out on line and not available anywhere near me. Luckily my husband is a truck driver so after about an hour on-line I found 2 in some little town in Nebraska way off interstate and we got it. We LOVE it. Erin loves it , she looks so comfortable and safe and I love the cover and of course that she can rear face to 40 pounds. It was easy to get in car, easy to adjust, and it is easy to use. Good luck finding Alma pattern and if you do I would snatch it up

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I bought this product because I really liked it. I loved what it had to offer, and really liked the colors. However it was a really big carseat great for rearfacing not so good for an older child facing forward. Mostly because when their legs get long they will be right up on the back of the front seat. If you have a really big vehicle this carseat might be great for you. Right now my child is rearfacing but not for much longer, and I was thinking I would need a booster type carseat sooner than I would like to buy. So to spend all that money on a carseat I felt like I would not use that long, or for as long as I would have liked, it was just not worth it to me.

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
I love this car seat! I had done a lot of research on seats before making a final decision. For me this seat met the great features of the $300+ seats at a reasonable price. I am thrilled that my daughter will be able to ride refacing until she weighs 40 lbs and will remain safely harnessed until she weighs 65lbs. The install was so easy, the fabric is soft and luxirious and she has plenty of room to ride in comfort even on long trips. The easy tighten strap on the front is so easy to use. I stash a soft toy in one cup holder and a binky in the other and she gets them when she wants them. I have even had to wash the cover already and it washed up great and was so easy to take off and on. I have recommended this seat to a number of people already and will be buying another if/when we have another baby.
PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
This is a wonderful seat. I purchased this as a second seat for grandma's minivan. It appears to be sturdy, it is comfortable, and my daughter loves it. We actually got this seat in a different pattern, but it is the same seat and the cover is easy to clean. PLEASE BE SURE YOU INSTALL THIS SEAT BY VERY CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL. IT IS VERY EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND! YOU PUT YOUR CHILD AT SIGNIFICANT RISK FOR INJURY OR CAR SEAT FAILURE IF YOU DO NOT INSTALL THE SEAT ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS. IF YOUR CHILD IS REAR-FACING, PLEASE MAKE SURE THE HARNESS STRAPS MEET BELOW THE CHILD'S SHOULDERS - THEY SHOULD COME UP AND OVER THE SHOULDERS FOR REAR-FACING CHILDREN. I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST ONE REVIEW WITH A PHOTO OF A CHILD IMPROPERLY HARNESSED SO PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! The chest plate should be at armpit level - not at the neck and not on the stomach. If your child is forward-facing, the shoulder straps should be above the child's shoulders so that the straps go down and over the shoulders.
The only two things I don't like about this seat is that it doesn't rear-face tether, and the crotch strap only has one position - this may be a problem for newborns, so you'll need a receiving blanket or towel to prevent slouching. Other than that one feature, I am very pleased with the features of this seat, especially the fact that it rear-faces up to 40 lbs. Only one or two other seats marketed in the USA have this feature, and those seats are considerably more expensive. This seat fits well in the center of my 2008 Nissan Sentra, though the car seat is much higher than my Radian 80. It also fits very well in both the rear and center of grandma's 2002 Chrysler Voyager minivan.
Great Seat for bigger toddlers!!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
Since my daughter is in the 99th percentile for her weight she was quickly getting snug in her britax marathon car seat which is suppossed to go up to 65lbs but the crotch strap can not be adjusted and was pinching her thighs everytime she rode in it. so I was on a search for a more comfortable seat for my little princess and I definetly found it with this graco seat. It has a wonderful recline which is perfect for sleeping the crotch strap is long and dosent dig into her thighs. The built in cupholders are super and the car seat pattern is so cute for a little girl! I would definetly recommend this to anyone in search of the perfect seat without spending an arm and a leg.

I have 5 kids 4 and under, so we have 5 carseats. My triplets are just outgrowing their infant seats so I decided to purchase this seat and try it out. I LOVE It! Although it does look big it fits just fine in the 3rd row seat of my suburban, both rear and front facing.
I am excited, I am buying another this week for one of the other girls :)
I love the cupholders and the pattern in adorable. My 8 month old looks as comfy in it as my 4 year old does.

We bought this for our daughter who is 11 months old. The seat is very sturdy, and I love that the cupholders are built in instead of detachable! The seat is roomy enough to allow her to grow with it, but not overly huge. Very comfy, and she seems to love it! Fits well in our Dodge Durango, and a little snug in our Hyundai Elantra. In the Elantra I have to move the passenger seat forward a bit more than I would like, but I'm fine with that. Definitely a seat I would recommend to friends and family!

Comments about Graco MyRIDE 65 Convertible Car Seat Alma:
Shopping for my daughters "big" Girl car seat was not hard at all after I saw the my ride65. It's a great seat with such a cute pattern for a little girl. Since I am particular with what I purchase I had to see it in person just to make sure it was easy to operate. So I visited another retailer that carried it in-store and my mind was made up. It is not heavy at all, easy to install and adjust. Machine washable is a super+. I had read other reviews that it was on the large side but not at all. I have a compact car and it fits just fine with room to spare.The color and pattern is much cuter in person too (much nicer than the pink & brown they also make). You dont have to worry about reclining because it has a natural recline, and she looks so comfortable in her new big girl seat. It will definately be the only one she needs.
