Great travel car seat
I liked this seat. Not too heavy easy to install because of the open back and very easy to adjust, will grow with my kid for a long time. I got this one because I didn’t want just a cheap shell seat that didn’t feel very safe. This seat has lots padding and head protection. Worth the extra money over the cheap $50 shell seats.

Great car seat!
Got this as a second car seat and for travel. Itâs so light weight compared to my current one. Easy to install. The strap adjustment is simple with the button. Has enough room for my toddler to grow. Very happy with this purchase

Reliable
Lightweight, easy install and narrow. I have 2 one for each car. It is easy to move from car to car and easy to break apart to clean.

Easy to install – great product and affordable.
Granted my husband does the installing but it really is easy to do. I liked how the straps are very easy to loosen and tighten as well, I also like that it has optional cup holder. Fits well in the car and overall just a great purchase, we have two.

easy to set up, comfortable, safe
Its slim profile makes it ideal for smaller cars or families with multiple car seats, maximizing space without sacrificing safety. This car seat transitions easily from a rear-facing to a forward-facing seat, accommodating children from 5 to 40 pounds in rear-facing mode and 20 to 65 pounds in forward-facing mode. The Contender Slim includes features like a 5-point harness system and side-impact protection, providing peace of mind for parents concerned about safety. Adjusting the harness can be a bit cumbersome, especially as children grow and require frequent adjustments.Overall, the Graco Contender Slim Convertible Car Seat is a solid choice for families looking for a reliable and space-efficient car seat. Its ease of use, safety features, and adaptability make it a strong contender in the convertible car seat market.

Great slim convertible car seat
I had the Doona and loved it. When I was looking to upgrade my toddlers car seat I knew I wanted something that was slim and didnât take up a lot of space. This car seat fits just fine in my Hyundai Sonata. The seatbelt installation was pretty easy to install. The anchors gave me a hard time but I think that had to do with how they are in my car. My toddler is rear facing and heâs comfortable and can fall asleep in this seat. Itâs very functional and looks great. Iâm glad we went with this choice. If you have a smaller vehicle this seat is definitely the way to go.

Excelente calidad, es acolchonado y buen tamaño, cabe perfecto en carro en mi caso un Ford figo, el único detalle es que ocupa anclajes para que valla más asegurado el asiento lo cual no se especifica pero aun asà puede colocarse con el cinturón de seguridad.
Excelente producto!! muy fácil de mover, tiene mucha seguridad, recomendado para espacios grandes. –
Muy cómodo, solo que es para carros amplios, si tienes un coche pequeño toma mucho espacio

me encanto lo facil que es transportarla y es ligera y solo ocupa un espacio. la marca super dura y lo mejor es que se pone con cinturon y anclajes

Me gusta que me hijo va super comodo y se duerme en la silla una vez frene de golpe y mi hijo no le paso nada es muy inportante que traiga el clip en el pecho eso lo detuvo del frenon.

Todo bien a excepción de que ocupa demasiado lugar en el coche.
