Graco® Turn2Me™ 3-in-1 Car Seat, Manchester

This is such a neat car seat. The big selling feature here is the fact that when the seat is rear facing, it swivels to face toward you so you can easily get baby out. This is such an incredible feature that only someone who has tried to gracefully remove a baby who is rear facing out of a car can appreciate. The seat also gives a really satisfying click when maneuvering so you know it is locked into position. I found installation to be easy, but this is not my first car seat rodeo. If you are struggling watch the videos on Gracos website or YouTube. This seat can follow your child from newborn until they graduate out of a booster. The seat is well padded and appears very comfortable. The two cup holders (which are removeable) help to hold all the drinks and snacks when they get older. Finally - cleaning. We did have a vomit situation with this car seat. I had to strip all the fabric off, clean the car seat, and put it all back together. I am pleased to report this process was not at all as difficult as I anticipated. Everything came off easy, cleaned well, and went back on just as easy. If you want one car seat to last baby through early childhood - this is it!

I am not very tall and I always have hard time getting my little one in his car seat, we have an suv and carrying him over a seat is a little difficult for me. I sometimes ding his head on the roof off our suv trying to lift him high enough to properly seat him in his car seat. This turn2me seat has worked wonder for us, I am able to turn it face me so I can easily set my little one in his seat. He is also able to get in his seat by himself and it was easy to install, it meets up to the graco name. I loved the deep wine color and it is well cushioned. The buckles work like any other car seat and they adjust the same. It feels sturdy and safe, I tried to force it to turn without pressing down the button and it wouldnt budge no matter how hard I tried.

I did a lot of research on car seats, and this was my top one. I’m so glad i bought this, my FAVORITE feature is how it rotates. It will save your elbows i PROMISE.

The car seat is heavy and takes up a lot of space; however, it is such a great car seat. I love that I can turn the seat to put our baby into it. It eliminates the frustration of the sideways car seat. Putting her in the car is so much easier. We have an older daughter that we wish we wouldve had this seat with. It will pay for itself over time because it turns into a booster. Worth the money and worth the install. Buy it!

I have only been using this seat for a few weeks, but so far I am a very big fan. No, this isn’t sponsored. Yes, I paid for my car seat. Use: I have a toddler and a 5 month old and have to get them both loaded and unloaded on a very busy street to get them to daycare (no parking lot). Because of the location of the daycare, I also can’t use a stroller so I have to hold my toddler’s hand and wear baby in a carrier. This seat helps me quickly unload the baby into the car so I can get my toddler secured. Bonus: toddler thinks the seat turning is hysterical and loves to watch the baby be rotated. Install: My spouse installed our previous car seats, so I can’t speak to ease of install compared to those, but I found it pretty straightforward to install with the Latch system. I like that there’s a little door that lifts up so you can tighten the latch strap at a better angle. The cup holders did keep falling off during install, but have only fallen off once since it’s been in my car. It fits behind the drivers seat of my Subaru Legacy at the most reclined setting without touching the driver’s seat (however, I’m quite short, so a tall person might have less room). Room for improvement: 1) a drawback for this seat is that you can only rotate in rear facing mode. As that was my primary need, and this seat was cheaper (on Prime Day) than the few rotating competitors (in 2022 at least), I still think it’s worth while. I intend to keep my kiddo rear facing until we max out the height or weight, so hopefully we have a good number of years to use the turn feature; 2) access to lever to tighten harness: Graco lags behind its competitors when it comes to access to the lever to loosen and tighten the harness. On this seat, you have to stick one finger into a slit in the fabric in order to reach and push the lever to loosen the harness straps. My Chicco carseats have an easily accessible button that is not buried. Definitely not a deal breaker, but my little piccadillo with all Graco seats I’ve used. 3) manual does not advise the age/weights at which you should be using the different rear-facing inclines. I have my baby at the most inclined, which seems right for his age, but it’s frustrating that this information isn’t given by Graco. Also lacking is an age/weight limit for the infant insert. My 5 month old looks secure enough without it, but again, would be helpful to have clear guidance from the manufacturer; Short version: it’s not perfect, but the drawbacks are small compared to the fantastic rotating feature. I recommend this seat.

So convenient! Saves your back! Easier to buckle them in properly

Okay, I bought this because I thought the money was worth it for the rotation and grow with Baby capabilities. However, I just found out its not a car seat thats meant to be taken out of the car (like the ones with handles you can carry a sleeping Baby in) and I was just told I might not be able to leave the hospital with this as my car seat. Im keeping it but I wish the description explained this better. I also havent found a stroller this fits in but that makes sense as it wasnt supposed to fit in a stroller but be kept in the car while the Baby is removed from it. Id say its not ideal for NB but Im keeping it for the past NB phase. PS: The lack of rotation is forward facing is not a problem for me at the moment. I still months to go before I worry about that, I was more concerned about my NB and transportation convenience outside the car.

I really like this turning to me function since it helps me to get my baby on the car seat easily without twisting him especially when the parking lot is small. Of course it’s easy to get him off the car seat too. A brilliant design! The car seat has a long life span—ten years. It’s manufactured in good quality and I think it could last long. Although it could hold an infant, I don’t recommend it to infants because an infant car seat is better for taking a baby with you. An infant is so weak and always in sleep, an infant car seat makes a baby sleep well. The cushion is soft and comfortable for the baby. Convertible car seat is a good choice for toddlers and it saves me money.

Love this

This is by far the best inveted car seat for babies! I knew I wanted a rotating seat but I wasnt sure which one since there are so many out now . I follow safe in the seat on Instagram and they review all the rotating seats. I decided on this one bc of size. This one seems to be the more slimmer of them all . I love it .. I got 2 !!
