If you have a vehicle predating , be aware that Graco no longer supplies locking clips with its products, including the Tranzitions. Secure the lower anchor connector when not in use to the plastic loops attached to the edge of the fabric cover of the restraint. The Tranzitions comes with strap covers and a padded insert with slots for use with either crotch buckle position.
Graco has set no age or weight restriction on the use of these comfort items: these can be used at the discretion of the caregiver and the comfort of the occupant. This may be an important feature in smaller vehicle seats, such as some trucks and the third rows of some SUVs. In booster mode the entire base must be in contact with the vehicle seat.
This model is 3 years, 7 months old. She weighs 31 pounds and is 38 inches tall. The headrest is positioned at the third from the top. When she uses the padded insert, the buckle is most comfortable for her routed through the outermost slot, but the inner slot is entirely adequate without the insert, which is quite padded.
The harness should be positioned either at or directly above the shoulders. The headrest follows suit; if the harness is correctly positioned, by default, so is the headrest.
While the seat has no mechanical recline positions, the dreaded head slump while children were asleep that we saw often in the original Nautilus is resolved in this seat by having the headrest essentially flush with the body of the seat.
This model is also 3 years old. She weight 35 pounds and is 39 inches tall. Today was one of those days, and she had nothing but good things to say about the Tranzitions!
This kiddo is 5 years old. He weighs 45 pounds and is 47 inches tall. This model is 5 years old, 50 pounds and She is using the top harness position and is a sneeze away from outgrowing the standing height of 49 inches. This model is 6 years old, weighs 41 pounds, and is 42 inches tall.
This seat is also a nice option for her in booster mode, so she could get a lot of use out of this seat! Because the Tranzitions is a no frills seat, there are no pockets or storage capsules for the accouterments associated with harnessed use.
Detach the webbing from the splitter plate in the rear and pull the harness from the front of the seat. Then pull the adjuster strap taut to lock the splitter plate into place underneath the base of the seat. Dislodge the H-clips that anchor the harness straps from the bottom of the seat and pull the straps out from underneath. Turn and remove the buckle from the base.
Store the harness, strap covers, chest clip, and buckle in a safe location for future use. In high back booster mode, the seat positions the belt much like the Graco workhorse, the Turbobooster. Not sure if your bigger Little is ready to transition into a seat belt positioning booster?
Check out our article here! This model is 6 years old. She weighs 41 pounds and is 42 inches tall. In high back booster mode, the Graco Tranzitions offers her a solid belt fit.
The shoulder belt lays across the midpoint of her shoulder and the lap portion of the belt is across her hips. He declared it comfortable, though his legs were a little long for the thigh support provided.
You can see the head rest is in the uppermost position. This is typical with many lower cost dedicated high back boosters as well. Graco permits, but does not require, the use of either the lower anchor connectors, or the tether connector, or both, while in booster mode. If you choose not to use the anchors, be sure to buckle the seat in while unoccupied to prevent it becoming a projectile in the event of an accident.
To convert the Tranzitions to backless mode, hold the base and push back steadily on the back of the seat until you hear a click and it collapses backward.
Then, lift the back off the bottom of the seat without much fussing about. The seat comes with a shoulder belt positioning guide that may be attached for use in backless mode. However, if you use the high back booster until it is outgrown, it is unlikely that the guide would be required to achieve appropriate fit to child in backless mode. Here we see our model from earlier. This pushes him back in the Tranzitions into a position where his thighs are more supported than they were in high back mode.
While we commend Graco for eliminating the 1 year minimum for use on this combination seat, we will continue to recommend that this seat and all forward facing car seats need to be labeled with a two year minimum for use. However, combined with a two year minimum for use, it would work well, allowing the shorter or lighter two year olds to use the seat should their parents choose. Ideally, 3 year olds will ride in rear facing restraints, but 3 year olds should only travel in the Tranzitions in harnessed mode.
While studies have not shown a difference in a frontal crash between high back and backless boosters, we would recommend continuing to use a high back booster until outgrown. It offers the child support while sleeping, adjusts the shoulder belt to a comfortable level on a smaller child, and offers shell around the child to teach them to hold still as they transition from a harnessed seat to a backless booster.
Luckily, the Tranzitions does all three modes quite well, and will last children several years in each mode. We were pleasantly surprised to see a new version of this seat pop up! The Wayz comes in a black fabric with red accents.
