Graco Argos 80 Elite--Review



 The Argos™ 80 Elite Car Seat (Available at Babies “R” Us, buybuy Baby, and specialty stores) is an advanced 3-in-1 car seat, featuring the Simply Safe Adjust™ Harness System, will keep your child harnessed for up to 80 lbs. and coverts to a booster seat up to 120 lbs. for years of use.

The world of baby gear has changed drastically over the last few years.  Parents want convenience, functionality and economically priced products that will last. That's where Graco comes in.
Graco had been around for decades and they manage to evolved and stay with the times seamlessly.  When my oldest was born most everything we had was Graco. The catch was none years ago the industry was just exploring the newest and best.  

From convertible car seats that allow extended rear facing and forward facing to the Graco Argos 80 that is a three in one forward facing booster parents have more options to fit their needs.

The Argos 80 is by far my favorite forward facing seat.  It only requires one step for set up, simply snap the back into place,  and it's ready for installation. Using the seat belt or Latch system you can easily and quickly have this in and ready in just about ten minutes. You can adjust the built in harness more efficiently thanks to the button betting on the top of the seat.  A push of the red button and all that's left is to pull up on the back to raise the shoulder straps.

The five point harness is easily adjustable and holds children safely from twenty to eighty pounds,  twenty-seven to fifty-two inches tall,  and at least one year of age. When using the vehicle seat belt child misery be thirty to one hundred pounds, thirty-eight to fifty-seven inches tall and between the ages of three to ten. The last way to use this particular model is by removing the back.  Being just a booster seat your child can use this up to one hundred and twenty pounds,  fifty-seven inches tall and ages four to ten. 


The removal of the built in harness and back are easy.  The instructions are clear and simple to follow. Please remember when using any car seat to have it installed properly and to follow all requirements. 

The downside to the seat is that it's heavier than I anticipated. This isn't a deal breaker,  just cumbersome. The only other thing I noticed is that to get a child in and out is a chore if said child wants to be ornery. 
There are several compartments to put things and the cup holder is nice and big. This is fantastic as you can accommodate almost any size cup. 

My daughter despises riding in the vehicle.  We have another seat in my husband's truck and after using the Graco Argos 80, it's clear that she prefers it over the other one. There's enough cushion that she isn't screaming to get out within ten minutes. 

Graco has many more great products, like high chairs, strollers, play yards and more! Be sure to consider them for all your baby gear needs!
