Customer Reviews
A little misleading
The product features and image indicate “one helmet, one pair of knee pads and one pair of elbow pads.” I was a little disappointed to only receive one pair of pads that could be used for either knee or elbow. I guess the picture does say more to what you are actually getting. Other than that, it has been a great product.
Not so great.
The helmet is okay, except for the strap to go under the chin. It does not have a seat for the chin or that area. So the strap which is nylon by the way, will be quite uncomfortable.
The set only comes with one set of pads, not two sets as shown on the picture, which can either be used as elbow or knee pads. The pads also cannot fit securely on the elbow or knee and will slip around. the nylon straps also squeeze the limbs and leave impressions on your skin.
Not recommended.
Doesn’t fit the kid I bought it for
I got this for my 3-year-old to go with the new bike she got for Christmas, but the helmet is too small for her. The elbow and knee pads fit fine, but I have to get her a different set ASAP. It’s a good thing I have a younger daughter to hand it down to in brand-new condition. It’s cute, and seems to be well-made, so the 1-year-old will be able to use it for at least a year or so.

About Graco
In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world’s first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world’s leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on.

Customer Reviews
Great Buy!
Great BUY! Shipped just as promised. Very easy to put together. I do wish the back screwed on instead of snapping together. Overall, I’m very satisfied.
Great booster
I bought this for our second car. We have britaxes in the main car but I didn’t want to spend double the graco for another set of britaxes. This booster is very similar to the britax parkway we have, easily wiped and installed. It is maybe slightly less cushy than the britax but highly recommended even for your main car.
Great seat for 4 and older
My in-laws bought this seat as a back-up for my 6 year old. He is JUST going into a booster and will use this when we visit.
I love the fit for him.
This seat DOES NOT allow any child under 3 to use it. Also CERTIFIED CAR SEAT TECHS, SAFE KIDS, NAHSTA all recomend NOT USING a booster until a bare minumum of 4 yrs and 40lbs.
Look up booster crash test on YouTube and you will see why.
To the post below who posted the pic your child is at a SERIOUS risk using this booster. The fact that he leans over to get toys shows he ISN’T ready for a booster. If he happened to be LEANING over and you were in a wreck he would be injured or ejected.
I HIGHLY recomend you quite going against all recomendations and get him in a safer seat like the Nautilus.
