It's wider than 88% of the convertible seats we track, at 19.5 in. The narrowest is the WAYB Pico at 14.5 in. Fit depends on your vehicle; check each seat's manual and your vehicle manual. Car seat use and installation: see NHTSA's car seat page, which also lists free car seat inspection by certified technicians. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.

Can you bring the Graco Extend2Fit on a plane?
