Our Review of the Graco ComfortSport convertible car seat
The Graco ComfortSport is a well-priced convertible child car seat, with all the key features you'd expect, including a 5-point easy-to-adjust harness, a two-piece harness tie (chest and crotch), washable fabric, and a indicator that lets you know if you've installed the seat safely level. Various "soft goods" options are available in the different models, ranging from no extra soft goods (Prague) to the Metropolitan's detachable head support, harness covers, and toddler pillow.
Why buy the Metropolitan version instead of one of the less expensive seats? For about $40 more, the Metropolitan has more storage options, better "soft goods," and GracoPedic foam. A new addition to certain Graco seats, Memory Foam forms to fit your child, cradling and supporting them. The foam doesn't ever get indented or worn down - it bounces back day after day, to provide ultimate comfort and fit. In my opinion, it is worth spending the extra money for these perks, but the differences aren't super huge - most customers will probably do just fine simply choosing the color they prefer.

CarSeatBuff
Reviewer: Katie McMullen , Alexandria, Louisiana
Date: October 01, 2008
I love this seat. When it came time to putting my little girl rear facing in a bigger seat, i really wanted the Britax, but considering I needed three seats, I really couldn't afford the $280.00 per carseat. The more I researched car seats, people seemed the think that the Britax were so good mainly because they were large and could be used for a long time. I came across the Graco that is a whopping $200.00 less and comparable in size! I have a camry and the seat would only fit in the center back seat while rear-facing because it is a large carseat. My husband has an F150 and the seat fit great rear-racing in his truck. Once the seat is forward-facing, it will fit anywhere. All of our other baby gear is Graco and I have had great luck with their well-made products. I have been impressed with this seat and would (and have) recommend it. On the flip side, I do have to straighten the straps once a week to make sure that they are even. But the task is easy, and is well worth the savings!!!

Graco ComfortSport
Reviewer: Anonymous , Houston, TX
Date: September 21, 2008
We bought this carseat when our son outgrew his snugride at around 4 months of age (yes he was chunky). He now is 19 months old (32 inches and 30lbs) and still in his comfort sport. We did have the same problems as described in other reviews. The straps were a little uneven at times but easily fixed when you pulled the other strap a little and his head would flop down when he was asleep. I reclined the seat to the absolute allowed max with a towel and that worked. As he got older his head wouldn't fall forward no more. I cannot complain about the Comfort sport. Actually I'm thinking about buying one for our 6 week old daughter since she hates the reclined position of the snugride and likes to sit up more.

Kept my daughter safe!
Reviewer: Anonymous , San Francisco, CA
Date: August 29, 2008
When I was looking for a bigger car seat, I settled on this one because a few reviews mentioned how it survived car accidents. I am SO GLAD we had this car seat a few weeks ago when we were in a bad accident on the freeway. My daughter (2 yrs) walked away without a bruise even though her dad and I both had some injuries.
I know it's a bit big, but we had it secured properly in our two-door Honda Accord with only minor difficulty and it performed it's most important function - keeping our daughter safe when it was most vital!
So relieved...I'm back to purchase a new one per our insurance company's request (you're not supposed to use a car seat after it's been in any kind of accident).
(I'd give it four and a half stars if I could, since it does make her slump a bit when she sleeps).

ComfortSport Metro.
Reviewer: Lynn , Wisconsin
Date: August 10, 2008
I couldn't believe how fast I received my car seat. So far we have had NO problems with our METROPOLITIAN COMFORTSPORT. The only thing I would complain about is how it was packaged. When we took it out of the box it didn't have plastic covering the carseat. Because of that, there were pieces of lint from the cardboard all over it. Did this happened to you? Anyway, I still recommend this to anybody.

Mediocre
Reviewer: Anonymous , Salem
Date: May 27, 2008
We are very disappointed that we spent $100 on a seat that we expected would last us until our child is 3 or 4 years old. I was satisfied with the seat even though we had some slight strap issues when she was a newborn. now she's 10 months old and we need a new carseat because it can't handle her height rear facing. she's almost at the top slots and the more her shoulders are above the holes the more strap issues we have. This car seat will NOT work if you plan on extended rear facing a child to the weight limit. My daughter is only 60th percentile on height and weight, so it's not like she's huge or anything. Now we have to go shell out more money for a Britax so that she can stay rear facing longer than a year. We could have spent that in the begining and not wasted our money on something that we could have spent towards the Briax in the begining, next child we will be going straight for Britax

Okay seat
Reviewer: Anonymous , Spartanburg, SC
Date: May 05, 2008
First of all, this seat is definately not the top of the line. It is quickly outgrown, but if you know that and are saving for a bigger forward facing seat, such as a Radian, Regent, Frontier, or Natulius, it's not a bad buy. We bought it, didn't like the uneven tightening, bought a Britax Decathalon for one car and a Marathon for the other. But we kept this seat and sent it to grandma's. Well, now we have a need for a third seat for work, but didn't have the money yet to shell out for a new seat. He has almost outgrown the seat, but he does still fit. This seat has just come in handy and it is comfortable. Not the best, but not the worst ever. It's comfy and not an insanely bad seat if you have another primary seat.

i do not recommend this car seat!!!
Reviewer: Jeff , North Little Rock, Ar
Date: April 23, 2008
we purchased this seat a little over a month ago, and as soon as i took it out of th box xi could tell it was not very good. the way the straps hook up in the back mack them uneven on our child. it is next to impossible to get installed correctly and it is very poor quality. the cover barely stays on the seat. i would return it but i already threw the box away. we have a Maxi-Cosi in our other car and it is very nice, i would highly recommend spending a little more and getting that one.

Better for forward facing only
Reviewer: Anonymous , Peyton, CO
Date: March 06, 2008
Great buy if you want to only use it for forward facing, but I had a really hard time adjusting the harness straps when she faced the rear. You have to pull down on the strap and the seat is up against the back seat so I always ended up hurting my hand in the process.

Great car seat!
Reviewer: Becky , Menomonie, WI
Date: August 15, 2007
We own two slightly different versions of this car seat and love them both. It is extremely comfortable with the pediatric foam and our son loves riding in it. It was very easy to install with the LATCH system and a bit harder with just a seat belt, but not too bad. It is also very easy to adjust the straps. We are very happy that we spent the extra money to get some of the added perks to make it more comfortable as we take a lot of long road trips. Best of all it gets great safety reviews.
