> 3 dayWe’ve been stuck using the same type of car seat for far too long! I’m so grateful for engineers that came up with this new idea. This car seat was really easy to install. It took me less than 10 mins from unboxing to get this fully installed in my SUV, without even having to open the manual. It was easy to adjust to our toddler’s height. And you truly only just needs one hand to rotate the seat and how my back will thank this car seat every time I get my son in and out—no more weird waist twist to get the straps and buckle adjusted or locked in place. Just rotate till you hear a click and viola you’re good to go. Can’t recommend this car seat enough. And I LOVE the color.

> 3 dayI was looking for a car seat that would allow the baby to sit rear facing in a 2-door wrangler without me having to squeeze into the back seat each time. This is it! Place the seat in the rear passenger side and you can swivel the baby around to get them in/out from your position in the drivers seat. Do to the way the seat has to be secured it will not allow for 360 degree rotation. You only need to activate the swivel latch on one side of the seat to swivel it around. If you’re a bigger guy like me it’s way easier to install with the top completely down and standing behind the back seat. (Or grab a skinny friend and have them do it from beside the seat!) It’s expensive, but it’s a really nice seat and if you have a 2-door vehicle it’s probably you’re only option. I checked out other brands and they don’t swivel enough to make it convenient. Spend the extra and just do it right!

> 3 dayHands down the best carseat! We bought two, one for my car and one for my husbands truck. PROS: It turns so you can get them out easier. It turns both ways so it doesnt matter which side you put them in and as a plus I can take my daughter out inside the car and put her jacket on her before we climb out in the winter. Its cushioned nicely, we are going to be taking a road trip later this year and feel as if my daughter will be more comfortable in the seat because of it. The one and nly CON for me is only because I am short. I have to step up on the foot board when I get her out of my husbands truck. LOL But over all the fabric is nice and the carseat itself is great! I will write another review after our road trip this summer to let yall know how it is holding up and such.

> 3 dayI honestly love the Turn to me feature of this car seat and do not know how I’ve lived without it for my first kid. It seriously makes the transition from a bucket car seat to a bigger chair so much easier. The turn to me feature only works with the rear facing position but you can still have your kid rear facing up until they’re 40 lbs. Even my almost 4 YO girl isn’t at 40lbs yet, though she’s tall so we’ve had to flip her to forward facing sooner. But she’s envious of the spin option for her little brothers chair, as I still sometime smack her head on the door frame trying to tuck her sideways into her chair….! This definitely prevents you from hitting your child on the door frame…!! You just have to remember to spin the chair back into position to lock it into place once the kid is buckled. Love Graco’s transitional chairs and this one hits the mark as well. It’ll grow with the kid all the way to the booster stage, so it’s well worth the money. It’s a big bulky chair though - and takes up the entire back seat all the way to the back of the passenger chair when it’s backward facing in my SUV. Doesn’t bother me at all, but just a note. Wish every chair has this turning option - definitely my new favorite key feature!!

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekThis 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 !!
