Graco TriRide 3-in-1 Car Seat Clybourne – Forward & Rear Facing
We tested the Graco TriRide 3-in-1 Car Seat in the Clybourne finish and found it to be a standout choice for growing families. This versatile seat transitions from rear-facing (5-40 lbs) to forward-facing (22-65 lbs) and finally to a belt-positioning booster (40-100 lbs), covering your child from infancy to big-kid years. At just $199.99, it packs premium safety features without the premium price tag.
Why this car seat stands out
The TriRide combines Graco’s trusted crash-tested engineering with a slim design that fits three across in most vehicles. Its no-rethread harness and 10-position headrest make adjustments effortless.
💡 One of our favorite finds: the TriRide’s Simply Safe Adjust™ system lets you adjust the headrest and harness together in one smooth motion — no rethreading required. That’s a time-saver parents will appreciate daily.

How it compares
Unlike many 3-in-1 seats that sacrifice booster mode comfort, the TriRide offers a dedicated high-back booster with deep side wings for older kids. It’s slimmer than the Graco Extend2Fit, making it ideal for tight backseat configurations.
After a month of daily use, the TriRide’s harness adjustments stayed smooth and the fabric held up to snacks and spills better than seats costing $100 more.
This seat is perfect for parents who want a single purchase from infant to big kid, especially those with multiple car seats to squeeze into a sedan. The cup holders and recline settings keep kids comfortable on long drives.
