Graco 4ever 4-In-1 Car Seat, An Investment For Practical Moms (Plus An Awesome Giveaway!)

I am not called a practical mom for nothing I believe, that's what I am also known for that at my workplace whenever I would be asked or tasked to source something and stay within budget. It's like buying a Ferrari with a Toyota budget (not advertising them.. but you get the analogy right?) It's also what I am known for within my circle of friends long before I started blogging. I got this trait from the Grandma Practicality I believe, haha, my mom.

One of the reasons why I am known for being practical, is because I make sure that whenever I purchase anything, I look at it as an investment, not merely because I am following a trend or I think I need it but just want it. I look at the longevity of my purchases. With clothes, I choose good quality, basic colors or cuts, and which go with classic styles, para naman they're going to have a long lifespan in my closet. I don't need many, I need just a few quality ones. Same goes with my purchase of baby gears such as my GRACO Pack N Play/Travel crib for my babies (yup all three are GRACO users, which I was able to use from birth til their walking years!) and my baby's current highchair is a 4-in-1 blossom chair which is amazing kasi it's an infant high chair (Damien used this the moment he started eating solids), can turn to an instant booster mode, to a toddler booster chair, and a youth chair (maybe until he's 4 or 5yo pwede!). You see, instead of buying several chairs or gears for my babies, I chose a quality brand that promises to grow with my child. For me yun ang practical and smart choice talaga.

I am now eyeing on another GRACO product which is also going to be more of an investment than just a want, the GRACO 4 EVER Car Seat, the (only) car seat you'll ever need! Like my Graco High Chair it's also a 4-in-1 Car seat because it grows with your child, from infant up to 10 years of age!

Did you know that in the Philippines alone, an average of more than 600 children died in road crashes every year from 2006 to 2014? And please please parents, get this, seat belts are not enough for infants and children. That's why there's a newly approved bill to require car seats for kids.

Infants and kids need a more specific type of system to protect them, seat belts aren't enough because it's not right for their size. And apart from this bill, I'm sure (and hope) you're aware that you'll be penalized if you're caught with kids who:
- are riding in front of the vehicle
- are not secured in a child restraint system in the vehicle while on the road
- are left unaccompanied in any vehicle

This is why I am eyeing on the GRACO 4ever 4-in-1 Car Seat because of its product longevity.

Here are more details about it:

One-hand, 10-position adjustable headrest easily adapts for your growing child
InRight™ LATCH system for an easy, one-second LATCH attachment
Integrated belt lock-off for easy vehicle seat belt installation
Washable seat cover is easy to remove without removing the harness
Steel-reinforced frame provides strength and durability
Integrated harness storage compartment holds unused harness straps while in the belt positioning booster mode
2 integrated cupholders keeps your child's drinks or snacks close at hand
Plush inserts keep your child comfortable
Easy-to-read level indicator helps eliminate rear-facing installation guesswork

I am also loving these other Features and Benefits of a GRACO 4ever Car Seat:

6 Position recline
Rear (should be from infant up to 2 years of age) and Forward Facing
Side impact
Infant support
Simply Safe Adjust Harness
Washable and Breathable Fabric
Cup Holders
One hand adjustable headrest with 10 adjustable positions
Latch-equipped

Here are the recommended weight and height range when in use:

Rear-facing infant car seat (4–50 lb)
Forward-facing 5-point harness seat (22–65 lb)
High-back belt-positioning booster (40–100 lb)
Backless belt-positioning booster (40–120 lb)

As a practical mom like you an me, we don't just look at a brand's or product's price tag. You may find the GRACO 4ever Car Seat expensive but if you would look at the savings versus buying 3 or 2 more car seats for your child, lalo na our government has approved the bill in requiring parents to use car seats for our children, you wouldn't regret investing in a GRACO 4ever Car Seat. Plus, GRACO is a household name of baby products which are designed to be high quality, thoughtful, safe, comfortable, and innovative. A brand name that moms have trusted for years. I have used Graco since my first child 14 years ago, and could attest to the durability, comfort, safety, and quality of their products. Super tibay na napamana pa ng kuya ang GRACO niya sa mga kapatid. Ako na lang ang bumigay, at bumili ng bagong GRACO para sa bunso. :)

The GRACO 4ever Car Seat is available in LAZADA. Go check Graco Philippines on Facebook for more details, updates, and also sale announcements.
