Neither of me children are of booster requirements yet, but I love that this car seat will transition to a booster when the time is ready. At this point the only fault would be that it's quite a bit difficult to clean without removing it from the car and shaking it upside down for a bit. However, when you look further afield, you can compare the Milestone to other multi-stage, combination car seats like the Diono Radian V, Be Safe iZi Plus, Cybex Sirona or the Recaro Zero. When it comes time to use the seat as a booster, the seat easily transitions with just a few simple steps.

There is an insert to place into the seat for young babies, which can be removed when they are bigger and no longer need the extra cushioning inside the seat. Not only is this useful for me when using the seat for a different child, it also means it's easy to adjust as they are growing.It's a perfect addition to a car seat and means a baby/child can keep their beaker/bottle within reach. I should just mention the cup holder, which is perfectly placed and reachable; having a secure but accessible spot for that essential drink is a very under-rated feature, and it’s the small stuff like this which makes a HUGE difference over time. The Graco Milestone as a Group 0+ infant seat has a detachable cushion insert to help support young babies and keep them comfortable. You will know which position is correct for your backseat once you install the car seat in your car.

The no-rethread harness simultaneously adjusts with the headrest to ensure a secure fit at every stage.You can download the Graco Milestone Car fitting List here – I drive an old Toyota Previa which isn’t actually on the list; but the husband has a Landcruiser, which is approved, and we’ve been doing some work with Ford on the KA+ which is also okay. This child restraint is NOT certified for use in aircraft when used as a booster seat because aircrafts do not have shoulder belts. The headrest is really simple to adjust to one of ten different positions and can be done using just one hand, you can also adjust the harness at the same time without re-threading which makes things so much easier. I didn’t have any complaints as far as comfort went – the Milestone is comfortable for younger children due to the nicely padded seat and the cup holder is also a great feature – perfect for baby’s bottle!
