About
What it is.
Safety 1st builds the Grow and Go as a single seat meant to stay in the car from a child's newborn days through the booster years, cycling through rear-facing, forward-facing, and belt-positioning booster modes as the child grows. It relies on a 5-point harness through the forward-facing stage, then switches to the vehicle's own seat belt for booster use, with side impact protection and recline angle indicators built in to support correct installation.
Removable grow-with-baby pillows and an adjustable headrest let the shell adapt to smaller and larger riders, and the seat carries certification for airplane use when installed in harnessed mode. It's positioned for families who want one seat to cover the full stretch from infancy to booster rather than buying separate seats at each stage, from a brand with a long track record in the car seat category.
The verdict
Safety 1st makes this convertible car seat. It converts from rear-facing to forward-facing. The seat grows with children from infancy through early school years. Parents buy it to avoid purchasing multiple seats. They need one product that spans several developmental stages. Retailers track this seat across thousands of shopping searches weekly.
