> 3 dayI do love this car seat - and the features it has! My only complaint and the reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the way that the seat swivels from side to side is to push a button on both sides of the car seat at the same time. Not a huge deal BUT if you’re alone with your baby trying to hold them and reach in there and swivel it with both hands is impossible unless you set them in the seat first- and I purchased so that I didn’t have to twist my body and get her in there. Again not a huge deal and a 1st world problem I know but I purchased so I could get her in more easily and I feel like that is a weird system. Someone had made a review about how you can turn it to the side when you’re a passenger up front and check on them etc, and that’s not really possible since you couldn’t reach the other side’s button to do so from the front of the car. Pros- super comfy, she is much happier in it. It’s easier to buckle once you do get them in it and turned towards you

> 3 daySuch a great chair. LOTS of padding options so its very customizable for fit. The pivot operation makes it super easy to get the child in and out of the car. Installation is a breeze if you use LATCH. I love that the base is actually flat on the bottom instead of being hollow - its easier on the car seats. Its also incredibly easy to convert from a forward facing to rear facing seat and vice-versa. Our daughter is visibly more comfortable in this seat, too. She was outgrowing her last one and this one has been much better for her. We like that shell be able to use it for quite some time, too. The only gripe we had about it (not worth docking a star, though!) was that the instructions are needlessly convoluted if you want to use it rear-facing. Quick start guide says consult the manual. Manual says consult section 3. Section 3 finally just tells you that if you want to use it rear-facing, rotate the seat 180 degrees on the base (using the normal pivot mechanism). Ugh. They could have just put that in the quick start guide. Still, were super happy with this chair. So much better for our girl and we love that it will grow with her for quite a while. Graco has another winner in our book!

> 3 dayThis 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!

> 3 dayVery helpful in getting little one in & out of vehicle, especially for mom with a back injury. Well worth the extra expense over a regular car seat. It took a little bit of time trying to figure out the locking mechanism to feed the lap belt through the seat.

> 3 dayIt’s a very well put together car seat. Sturdy and nice! I didn’t realize that it doesn’t turn while forward facing! I figured it was like the Evenflo 360, but it’s not. More expensive too! This is only nice for rear facing and the ability to turn. So disappointed I have to return to get the Evenflo instead!…

> 3 dayOverall I like the seat. I love the turn to me feature. I drive a large truck so I have plenty of room in the backseat. If anyone else is riding in the back the baby has to be put in first and seat turned in place before anyone or anything could be seated next to the car seat. It is also very heavy so switching between vehicles is not practical. Installation was made simple using provided youtube link. I wish it had sunshade. Overall very happy with comfort , softness and ease of turn feature, pros outweighed the cons for me.

Greater than one weekI am the grandparent of a toddler and have to transport her in my car. I wanted something that I didnt have to replace every time she hit a new age milestone. This is perfect for that. It transitions from one stage (rear facing, front facing, booster). What really impressed me though was that it was safety tested for all types of crashes -- including rollover and side impact. That is what made me want this car seat over all the others. I dont know if this is typical or not, but it impressed me! The plum (London) color is very pretty as you can see from the other pictures. It pops into the base that you attach to the seat belt or the anchor. It has the cupholders, which isnt important now for me, but I know it will be in the future. The swivel feature is nice, and I wish they had that when my girls were infants. Its hard enough as a mom trying to get all the equipment in an out of the car, so anything that makes moving the baby a little easier gets an A+ in my book. I think that makes this particular car seat very unique. I dont think you can go wrong with this, especially if you are looking for a long-term investment and dont want to have to keep buying car seats as the little one grows.

> 3 dayMy 9 month old was promoted to a big girl car seat but I hated how hard it was to put her in. I bought this when it came out since I am a big fan of Graco car seats and wow this is just AMAZING!!! It is now so simple to put her in the car seat and tighten it!!! I use to hate putting her in the car but now it’s a breeze. I also love how it can grow with her. It only rotates rear facing but that’s okay. I knew that when purchasing! Highly recommend to all mamas and babies!

> 3 dayThis 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 !!
