please help, we have a Nuna Cruz V2 not sure if that’s relevant
Hi! We just bought the Graco DLX Grad 5-in-1 Slim Car Seat from Costco for my 1yo. We removed the infant headrest and infant insert, but the instruction manual states that the seat insert must be used for rear facing until 40lbs. My 1yo is 18lbs.
See attached photos. The seat insert adds some cushion around my LO, which I like, but I’m confused by the big lip it leaves at around LO’s midback. She seems fine most of the time when riding in it, but gets fussy sometimes and I’m wondering if it’s because the car seat behind her back isn’t flush.
Did some googling and I saw a couple of places where it seems folks just removed all inserts for their babies/young toddlers.
I guess my question is what experiences others have had with this car seat and the inserts. I’m a stickler for following manuals, especially for car seats, but this particular instruction that the seat insert is required for rear facing until 40lbs really baffles me. It seems to fit much better when grouped with the infant inserts.
Thank you so much!
I crazy safety conscious and the crash test rating are good. I was orginally looking at the nuna pipa RX. But buy two of everything is adding up and the graco is more affordable. How easy is it to move from one car to the other? It doesn't seem to have base. If you havevit wat do you like and dislike about it?
