Graco SlimFit Iron car seat 40-145 cm, ADAC tested rear-facing up to 105 cm

The Graco SlimFit Iron car seat accompanies your child from birth up to approximately 12 years old, covering the height range of 40-145 cm. It can be used rear-facing for children between 40 and 105 cm tall, from birth to approximately 4 years old, as this position offers high protection for the head, neck, and spine in the event of an impact.

As the child grows, the seat can be used forward-facing for heights between 100 and 145 cm, from approximately 3.5 to 12 years old. Thus, a single seat covers the entire growth period, offering functionality and long-term savings. The Safety Surround system provides advanced side-impact protection, and the interchangeable TrueShield device can be mounted on either side of the seat, adapting to the family's needs and reducing the forces exerted on the child's body in the event of a collision.

Installation is simple, regardless of whether the seat is installed rear-facing or forward-facing. The intuitive guide helps with correct positioning on the vehicle seat, and the integrated vehicle belt lock-off system, located on the backrest, confirms that the seat remains stable and secure. The 5-point harness, with padded shoulder and crotch pads, can be quickly adjusted with one hand for a comfortable fit, and the side wings expand automatically.

Comfort is ensured by soft, pleasant-to-the-touch fabrics, a 10-position adjustable headrest, 6-position recline, and a removable newborn insert that provides extra support in the first few months. The harness adjusts simultaneously with the headrest, and when the harness is no longer needed, it can be stored in the integrated compartments. The fabric covers are removable and machine washable, maintaining hygiene on every journey. The six recline positions include two positions for rear-facing mode and four positions for forward-facing mode, and the seat width can be adjusted as the child grows.
