The Deluxe Highback 65 is a combination seat, meant for forward facing children using a 5pt harness and also to transition into a high backed booster for older children. With a 65lb 49″ forward facing harness limit, and a 100lb 52″ booster limit, this seat promises to last a child for a long time, hopefully until that child is ready for a no back booster.

Graco Argos 80 Elite 3-in-1 Review

For the last several years Graco has had two combination seats available for purchase, the Argos 65 and the Nautilus.

Graco Argos Review
