All-in-one (4-in-1) car seats
Rear-facing → forward-facing harness → high-back booster → backless booster in one seat. Birth-to-booster value; bulkier.
Short answer: Going by each maker's manual, the highest rear-facing limit here is 50 lb (4 of the 11 seats). The forward-facing harness goes up to 65 lb, high-back booster mode up to 120 lb, and backless booster mode up to 120 lb on the 2 seats that have it. Useful life is 10 to 12 years where the manual gives one.

These are sold as convertibles, but each one's own manual prints a booster mode too — so by published spec they take a child from rear-facing through to a belt-positioning booster, the same span as the seats above. We keep each seat filed under the stage its maker sells it as; check the seat's manual for the booster weight and height limits.

Common questions
Which all-in-one car seats have the highest rear-facing weight limit?
The Britax One4Life ClickTight, the Evenflo EveryStage DLX, the Evenflo Revolve360 Extend and the Nuna EXEC list a rear-facing limit of 50 lb, the highest here. The lowest is 40 lb (the Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1, the Graco TriRide 3-in-1, the Chicco Fit4 4-in-1 and 4 more). These are the makers' printed limits; your child's height also has to fit.
How heavy can a child be in the forward-facing harness?
All 11 seats here with a forward-facing harness list 65 lb as the harness limit.
Up to what weight can these be used as a booster?
In high-back booster mode the maximum is between 100 and 120 lb; the Britax One4Life ClickTight, the Evenflo EveryStage DLX, the Evenflo Revolve360 Extend and the Nuna EXEC go to 120 lb. As a backless booster the maximum is between 110 and 120 lb. A booster also needs the seat belt to fit your child, so check the height range in the manual too.
How long do all-in-one car seats last before they expire?
The manuals list a useful life of 10 to 12 years. In the manuals we cite, it counts from the date of manufacture, which is printed on the seat's label. For 3 of the 11, the manual we cite gives no figure, so check the label on the seat. More by brand on car seat expiration.
Which of these all-in-one car seats can be used on a plane?
10 of the 11 are FAA-approved for use on aircraft: the Graco 4Ever DLX 4-in-1, the Britax One4Life ClickTight, the Graco TriRide 3-in-1, the Chicco Fit4 4-in-1, the Evenflo EveryStage DLX, the Graco Grows4Me 4-in-1, the Safety 1st Grow and Go All-in-One, the Maxi-Cosi Magellan LiftFit, the Nuna EXEC and the Evenflo Symphony DLX. Boosters are never approved for planes, because a plane seat has no shoulder belt.
