Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat - Ace

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the opportunity to test out the GoMax infant car seat and I fell in love instantly. My little one is watched by his grandparents on the days we work so we had 4 bases between all the cars and even then we would have to shuffle them around some days. This has taken the base out of the equation entirely but still keeps him secure! The rigid latch system takes seconds to pull down and pop into place in any car. There is a little indicator on the sides to let you know it’s connected so there’s no guess work. It also has 4 reclining positions, with a memory function, making it easy to level in any car. It’s hard for me to pick a “favorite” feature when I love them all. The canopy pulls down to shield my boy from the sun and elements. It is well padded making it extremely comfortable for him to sit in on those longer car rides. But if I had to pick a favorite it would definitely be how easy the straps are to adjust and how much room my chunky monkey has to grow! My only complaint is that I didn’t have this sooner! I would recommend this car seat a thousand times over to any mama’s to be or mama’s with littles still in an infant seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from the Stellar Review Panel. What a pleasant surprise!! Our baby was 7 months when we received this item so we already had a different infant car seat. However, we now reach for this one every time over our previous seat! The car seat is light weight, easy to adjust and clicks right into the seat with no base needed!! I love how easy it is to adjust the straps without having to pull them out and re thread them in. It’s one lever and it adjusts to the perfect size. You also just pull out the latches and it clicks right into your seat on the metal brackets between the seat and seat back. It also has a memory feature so once you find the right placement you do not have to readjust. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking for an infant car seat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely loved this car seat—the quality feels very high-end, and every detail is well thought out. The built-in Rigid LATCH connectors made installation incredibly simple and hassle-free, making it easier to get my little one in and out of the car. The soft, high-quality fabric and removable inserts were a huge plus, especially knowing they’re free from added chemicals. My favorite feature was the recline memory function, which made adjustments effortless and gave the car seat a high-tech feel while ensuring my son’s comfort. The harness and headrest adjustments were also super easy, more intuitive than other major brands, and provided great support. The only downside is that while the visor extends low to provide excellent protection from the sun and wind, it occasionally catches on the car seat handle. Overall, the material, memory foam, and ease of use make this a standout product—I would absolutely recommend it as a must-have baby shower gift and would repurchase it for my next baby! (I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very impressed with this car seat, specifically the fact that it's baseless which is a huge help with transporting my baby in multiple vehicles, making it my favorite feature. Having the rigid latch connectors has completely alleviated the need to take a base in and out of my car when switching to someone's vehicle. I like how super soft the fabric is and love that it's free from chemicals so I don't have to worry about my baby's skin breaking out. The removable inserts are a nice feature also, I have a chunky little one so I immediately took out the bottom insert. The adjustable headrest is neat also, it's very easy getting my little snug and fit. I'd definitely recommend this as a must have baby shower gift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the nicest car seat I’ve ever used! I like everything about it. I’ve only tried it without a base and I like how easily and securely it installs with the rigid latch system. Simple and safe are priorities for me when running around with my baby! I love that the car seat easily works with a stroller, too. The car seat is also super stylish, with a sleek look and leather-like grip on the handle. It feels good to carry and the fabrics feel luxurious—expensive, soft, smooth, high quality. No harsh chemicals in the fabrics is a great benefit, too. *I received this infant car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I've had a great experience using the Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat with Insta-Install Rigid LATCH. First, it is comfortable to carry and the leatherette strap makes the car seat look and feel more luxurious. The Insta-Install Rigid Latch makes it easy to install the seat in different cars. I am able to keep the base in my car and install it in my partner's car without removing the base. Quick installations make busy mornings a lot easier. The base and car seat feel a little bulky in my backseat but I have a compact car. My baby is nice and comfy sitting in the car seat and the material feels soft to the touch. The fact that it is free from added chemicals protects his sensitive skin. I have a small baby but I'm sure the adjustable harness will come in handy as he grows. I played around with the different adjustments and the movements are very smooth. Overall, I would recommend the Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat ft. Insta-Install Rigid LATCH for any new parents. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat to try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. What sets this car seat apart for me was the built-in Rigid LATCH connectors. It literally attaches the car seat to your car - no seat belt or base required. It was very easy to learn and use and feels secure. There is also something super satisfying about watching the indicators turn green knowing confidently that the car seat is installed correctly. However I’m not sure that this option is available for older cars so that is something to consider. It is very easy to use the recline function. The material is very soft and comfortable and it is a huge plus that they are free from added chemicals. I love how easy it is to adjust the harness and headrest. The buckle is a little chintzy but that’s not a big deal. The button to release the straps is hidden under the fabric which is a little annoying as sometimes it was hard to press. However the most important feature of a car seat for me is safety and I believe this is a very safe option and Graco is always a brand I trust.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat ft. Insta-Install Rigid LATCH as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The first thing I noticed when I received the car seat was how soft the inserts in the seat were. I knew it would be much more comfortable than our current car seat. I was absolutely thrilled to learn that it is PureProtect Fabric and it is fire-resistant without added chemicals. As a mom, that is a huge selling point for our family. In addition to the soft, comfortable cushions, the four position, 1 hand recline is a game changer! While my daughter is sitting in the seat, I can adjust the recline position as well as the harness and head rest, all without removing her from the seat. As if those selling points weren't enough, installing this seat in my car was so incredibly simple. I simply had to pull the front latches on the car seat down and set the car seat on the seat, sliding the seat into the latch system in my seat crease and it snapped right in place and even turned green to show me it was properly latched. After 4 kids, I wish I had this car seat for all my other children. It is absolutely AMAZING! The canopy has a silent moving feature so it can be moved without waking baby. The carrying handle has a leather like hand grip and sturdy carrying bar when you are carrying the seat. I will say the seat is a little heavier than others I have used but it makes no difference for me because the convenience far outweighs the weight. Snapping this car seat into the GoMax Frame stroller is simple and makes it easy to transition a sleeping baby into the stroller without waking them. This car seat is a MUST HAVE. It will absolutely make life on the go much easier while also focusing on safety and comfortability. You will NOT be disappointed with this car seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I think the look and concept of the car seat are nice. It’s a well known and trusted brand that I use in my household. The built in latch connectors are a nice concept making transfer of the car seat easy from car to car or during travel. Installation was quick and easy and the instructions were clear. The fabrics are nice and the ability to remove pieces for fit and wash (even the canopy) is a nice feature as well. I always seek clean and chemical free fabrics for my family and appreciate that being a feature of this car seat. The easy ability to adjust the recline of the seat when installed is nice as the baby grows. I like that the seat remembers the last recline position so you don’t have to readjust each time you remove and reinstall the seat. I found it easy to adjust the harness and headrest and the adjustment handles were in common sense places. My 4 month old seemed to enjoy sitting in the seat in the car as well as connected to the stroller during outings. My favorite feature of this car seat is the multiple installation options including use of a base, lap belt or the built in latch connectors. Some pain points were the front to back movement when installed in the car without a base as well as the bulkiness of the canopy. I found it hard to move the handle through its various positions as the canopy was always in the way and difficult to maneuver around. Overall I have recommended this car seat as a great option for transferring between home and caregiver or during travel due to its flexibility of installation. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.

I bought this carseat about a month ago and I am obsessed. I just had my daughter back in February and was wanting a cute colored carseat. Looked around and saw this and was super interested in the baseless carseat. I have a Honda CRV and two other kids in car seats (yes 3 car seats are in the back) so I sit 3 across (my other two carseats are Diono radian 3r)’ I love that i have the option for the base or to just latch it in. It makes it easy to move from one car to the next. It also clicks into my Graco double stroller i have from my previous two kids so I can still use it which was another reason I was really interested in this carseat. I also love that for the price it’s so functional and beautiful but cheaper than other options in the similar style of baseless.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat. Coming from a mom of 6 who has tried several carseats - When I tell you guys that I LOVE this car seat, I mean I LOVE it. The easy instillation alone is enough to rave over. It’s by far the best feature of the car seat. It’s so convenient not having to fight with a car seat base any time you have to switch cars. You just latch the bar into the anchors of your car seat and you’re ready to go. It has indicators on the latch system to let you know it’s installed correctly and it literally takes seconds. It’s a must have item for the baby registry and if the easy instillation isn’t enough to sell you on it, it also a has non re-thread safety adjust harness that makes adjusting the straps a breeze, you can literally do it while your baby is in the car seat. The fabric in the car seat is soft and comfortable for your baby, it is fire resistant, and made without harsh chemicals. It’s also pretty lightweight so it’s not hard to haul to and from the car.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat ft. Insta-Install Rigid LATCH through Stellar Product Testing Panel. The car seat is very lightweight and aesthetic with its combination of dark greys, black, and brown leather handle accent and it was very important to me that it’s free from added chemicals. It’s ease of switching from car to car without needing a base is great in theory but I struggled as my baby is large (over 10lbs at birth, 24lbs at 8mo) and I didn’t feel comfortable anchoring and un-anchoring from the lower anchors with him inside the seat (thus would have to take him out of the seat every time I needed to put him back in the car to re-anchor). If you’re traveling with another person this carseat may come in handy again as it doesn’t need a base, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable utilizing it solo without someone to hold my baby thus would want to purchase the additional base for everyday use. My baby found the width of the seat and material comfort (didn’t fuss when in the seat) which was refreshing from other infant seats we have tried. The only other complaint I have is the canopy was flimsy which I imagine won’t hold up well overtime. Overall this seat is a great budget friendly option that could be convenient for families who need a car seat that somewhat easily transfers between vehicles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to get this car seat. This is our second car seat for our 6 month old but it’s my favorite of the two. Since we have two cars, transferring the base in and out for traveling was always something I dreaded having to do. This car seat takes that problem completely away. You CAN buy a base but it feels so secure without one! The height adjustments just by pulling the lever is a game changer as well. ALSO, the recline feature?? No more fiddling with random stuff under the car seat and having fear of doing it wrong. This was made so simple. My babe always looks so comfortable and secure in this seat!! The only gripe I would have is it’s a little heavy but that’s to be expected. Also, at first trying to attach it to the bars can get a little frustrating if your car is like mine and they hide! But otherwise, 10000% recommend this. If you uber often, or transfer from different cars this is the car seat for you. *I received this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel*

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat ft. Insta-Install Rigid LATCH to test as part of the Stellar Product Panel. My overall impression of the car seat was, I was very impressed. The quality and build exceeded my expectations. The metal handle bar and leather grip seemed to be well made. These materials made the product seem higher end. The seat material was extremely comfortable and soft for my son, which is so important for baby soft skin. No added chemicals, was even more of an appeal to this product as an eco friendly mom. It also seems like a great selling point that the car seat comes with shoulder strap protectors. This added comfort for my baby. The only thing it needed was a protector to cover the buckle. The built in rigid latch system made this car seat so easy to get in and out of the car. The one button system on the back of the seat was the best feature. This made it extremely user friendly, easy to learn. Perfect for moms, dads, grandparents and guardians who don't have a base installed in their car, but want to ensure safety for the child. I did notice a small shift in the car seat when I pushed it back and forth to ensure the safety of the installation. Once I added the lap belt, it certainly added stability in the installation, making sure the car seat couldn't move at all in the seat. Although I was overall impressed by the car seat and its quality I did have one key feature I was disappointed with. I felt as though the metal handlebar, although sturdy, was not tall enough, and needed a wider handlebar shape. When I grabbed the handle to carry my son, the canopy was fully extended and my arm didn't fit well between the canopy and the handle bar without pushing the canopy down. I did however like the quality of the canopy along with its shape. I felt like it really blocked the sun from my baby's eyes. A taller handle would make this a perfect fit. Overall I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone searching for an infant car seat. I've tried many infant car seats in all different price ranges, and I felt the build quality, comfortability and safety were top notch. It was one of the nicest Graco products I've seen! It would be a great gift for a baby shower, or recommendation for a baby registry! Great design Graco. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a foster mom who takes in infants on a regular basis and has tried a multitude of different infant carriers. I cannot emphasize how much I wish this product came out years ago. I’m always sending kiddos with transportation, or loading them up in different vehicles. The Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat ft. Insta-Install Rigid LATCH has made life so easy by not having to install a base everytime I send the kiddo with someone. It’s so safe and secure and once the seat is released the latches automatically tuck right under to be out of the way. The fabric is so soft and so luxury and is also machine washable. Another feature I love is the automatic headrest and harness adjust. With fostering, I never know what size baby will come into my home and it’s unbelievably convenient to adjust the harness and headrest with just a small handle. I don’t have to loop harnesses back through the car seat constantly, and it keeps their head from bunching around regardless how big or small. I can’t recommend this car seat enough. It’s versatile, luxury, and so safe. Great job Graco!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel to review but my opinion and view of the product is not influenced. This car seat is light but well built. It is sturdy and the baby looks secured and safe in it. It is not bulky but big enough for infants. The materials used were soft and of premium quality. Our baby’s skin is sensitive and we were happy he did not have any reactions to this car seat. There is no factory smell when you take it out of the box which is reassuring. The built rigid latch makes it very easy and simple to install and remove from car. The recline memory feature is also made the installation much easier and convinient. The headress and harness is vey easy to adjust to give our baby a proper fit. The best part of this car seat is you can install it in the car without a base. Overall this the best car seat we’ve use for our infant. I will highly recommend this together with it’s Go Max stroller frame for complete experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco GoMax Infant Car Seat is a must-have for every mom and baby! The list of pros is endless. I love how lightweight it is, the softness of the fabric, and the fact that it’s free of added chemicals—because the fewer chemicals my baby is exposed to, the better! The baseless design is perfect for parents who frequently switch between cars, eliminating the hassle of moving a base. To make things even easier, it features a recline memory function for effortless adjustments. Adjusting the headrest and harness has never been simpler—no more struggling for hours! I truly have no complaints about this car seat and would rate it a 10/10. Huge thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this incredible infant car seat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, we have been able to test out the Graco GoMax car seat. Not going to lie, we were a little skeptical at first, but this car seat has completely won us over! The biggest game-changer is the ability to install it without a base—perfect for families who frequently switch vehicles or use ride shares. The built-in Rigid LATCH connectors make installation a breeze once you get the hang of them, and removing the seat is just as simple with the easy-release lever. There is a built in level to ensure that the carseat is safely installed and when the LATCH connectors are correctly attached to the vehicle, it has a red to green indicator to let you know that it is latched to the vehicle. Comfort-wise, this car seat is top-notch. The soft fabrics and removable inserts feel great, and we love that they’re free from added chemicals. The recline memory feature is another great touch, ensuring a consistent setup without constant readjustments. Plus, adjusting the harness and headrest is quick and easy, thanks to the front-facing design. If you travel often, need flexibility across multiple vehicles (think about daycare pick up!), or want an easy, no-base install, this car seat is a must-have! It’s definitely a top recommendation for any new parent or as a baby shower gift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am so glad that I did. I am now a mom of two so I was definitely looking for ways to make it easier having a toddler and an infant. This car seat not only made it easier installing into my car, the stroller is so small and compact that I could place it right into the backseat floor of my car. It took literally less than a minute to put onto my car and check to be sure it had the proper adjustment for my car. I love that feature of not having to worry about a separate base that I have to install into my car and makes it even easier to switch between my car and someone else’s. The car seats fabric is so soft it feels almost like a blanket and my infant loved that. It made it very comfortable for her to sit in for longer car rides. I love how the sunshade comes so far down. It was moments we were out and the sun was blazing I never had to worry about the sun being in her eyes especially when she was asleep because of how far it comes down. The car seat is on the heavier side but the ease of it makes up for the heavier weight. Once attached to the stroller it is super light. It rolls around and turns very easily and to break down you can definitely use one hand to open or close. It has storage space to place a few items nothing too big but you can definitely store a few things and it has a place for a cup or bottle for the adult. My favorite feature of this car seat is definitely the ease of not having a base and being able to use the built-in rigid latch connectors. It’s a game changer as our family has multiple cars and don’t want to spend extra time switching bases from car to car. This is definitely a must have when looking for an infant car seat that is all around convenient with a stroller that is lightweight and moves around with ease. A car seat that is soft and breathable to make sure your infant is most comfortable and eases your mind that it’s chemical free. I am VERY satisfied with this car seat and grateful that Graco is thinking ahead of the game and making life easier for us parents.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m one of those parents who spends hours reading reviews and doing my research before making a serious purchase, so I appreciate a car seat that actually delivers on convenience. One of its best features? It’s ridiculously easy to transfer between vehicles. Whether it’s going from mom’s car to dad’s, grandma’s, or even an Uber, the process is smooth and stress free. The latches are easy to find, and the satisfying clicks and indicators take the guesswork out of installation. Bonus points for the auto adjusting latch setting. It’s like the car seat remembered my first setup and said, “I got you.” The material is soft, easy to wipe clean (because messes will happen), and I love that it has been through rigorous safety testing. One small note: I’d say that for your primary vehicle, purchasing the base may streamline daily use even further. Not a dealbreaker without, but something to consider if you’re all about efficiency. Overall, it’s a solid, well designed seat that makes life a little easier because parenting is hard enough. A big thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat!
