Review: Graco Got It Right — Perfect Lightweight Travel Car Seat - We used this Graco car seat for a recent trip and it was a total lifesaver. It’s incredibly lightweight and easy to carry through the airport, yet still feels sturdy and safe. Installation took just a couple minutes in both our rental and a rideshare. Our toddler seemed comfortable the whole time, and it didn’t take up much space. Perfect for travel or as a second seat for grandparents — highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Budget Friendly Lightweight Car Seat, Great For Traveling!
*by C***L on June 18, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Super light weight car seat! Traveled with 2 of these & it was soooo much easier. Fits perfect on the plane (seat) as well- which was a game changer flying with my toddler. Creates a noticeable difference in the backseat of our Tesla Model Y. Size: Slim great for backseat of Tesla Model Y (I have 2 in the back) Value for money: Great price! Not super luxe but perfect basic seat and very light weight which is nice for traveling.
