Customer Reviews
This is actually the second Graco My Ride 65 car seat we've purchased. We had one for my baby from 4 months old- 11 months old when we were in a car accident. A car hit us head on and then we were hit from behind by a dump truck. The car was totaled but with my baby in this seat, he came away without even a bruise or bump to show for it! I immediately decided to replace it with the same seat that protected my child so well.
Besides being so safe, I love that my child will be able to fit in it for such a long time. He loves sitting in it and it seems really comfortable for him. The straps are really easy to adjust also, which is wonderful when working about winter coats and such. It is a rather large seat and might not fit well in small vehicles, but we love ours!
I bought MyRide 65 as a secondary seat in my husband's car. I really don't like it. I also have a Britax and it's so much easier.
These are my issues: The strap adjustment for the child's shoulders is located in such a way that when it is rear-facing, it's incredibly difficult to tighten. You must pull a strap by the child's feet downward and your automobile seat is in the way! I feel uncomfortable every time I put her in this seat, I fear that I do not have her tightened in adequately.
Also if you have any issues with hand strength the button to release the shoulder straps is extremely difficult to depress. I have carpal tunnel and it's a bear. As the child grows, shoulder strap adjustment must be done with the seat removed from the car. Don't use this seat if you want to use it for children of different sizes interchangably. It's too much of a pain. In the Britax there is a round knob on the side you just turn to adjust the strap height. Easy Peasy.
I feel the angle of the Myride 65 is too vertical. When my daughter was a newborn her chin touched her chest more in this seat than the Britax. My daughter has greater difficulty sleeping in this seat on long road trips due to it's more vertical position and lighter padding.
All in all, If I were to do it all over again I am glad I didn't purchase this seat as our primary car seat.
