In their words
“We bought this for a slim seat to travel with and we greatly enjoyed the lightweight features and dedication to safety for our flight! Our daughter was comfortable and did not realize she was suddenly in another seat - the magic of Graco led us to believe that she was safe, secure, and comfortable during our entire travels. Thank you, Graco!”
