No, the correct usage would be: 'more careful'.

No. Correct English would be more careful.

The above is, not strictly, correct. 'More careful' would be the most common form in spoken English, but at least one respected dictionary lists the comparative/superlative forms of 'careful' as 'carefuller' and 'carefullest'.

There is a simple reason for this. The rules regarding comparative and superlative adjectives are flexible. One syllable words usually simply add -er or -est. Two syllable words vary depending on the word, and often times, depending on the preference of the speaker/writer. The only ones set in stone are three syllable words which always use more/most and less/least.

So the answer to the question is: 'carefuller' IS a word. It is simply more common, and therefore more appropriate in given speech to use more careful. Technically, however, both are correct.
