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

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’m so in love with this car seat best purchase since the infant car seat!

I 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

Mommy is happy

I’m only leaving 2 stars because this product does work well in the rear facing position, but it does NOT turn in the forward facing position! Such a rip off to charge nearly $500 for a car seat and advertise it under a selling point that will only work for a short period of the duration of time you will be using the product. Not to mention it’s bulky and very heavy, and the cup holders do not stay in place! Shame on you, Graco.

The cool feature of this car seat, that you can turn it towards you to get baby out when they are rear-facing, makes me wish I had found this car seat sooner. The turning feature does not work when the car seat is forward facing which is how we are using this car seat. We did take some time to play around with the turn to me feature and it works really great. Its easy to use and I can see how awesome it would be when you are trying to get a baby in and out. Currently we are using this forward facing and have it installed with the car seatbelt. It was super easy to install and once we read through the instructions we had it installed in a matter of minutes. There is a locking feature to keep the seatbelt in place and I think that makes it feel very secure. It installed very tightly to the seat. I also like how it has those little tabs on the side to hold the straps out of the way while your little one is getting in. My daughter says the seat is comfortable. She has to be able to get herself in and out of her car seat for car line drop-off at school. This has been a little bit of an issue with this seat because she struggles to release the slack in the straps because of the placement of the release. This probably wont matter for most people who are getting their kids in and out but I wanted to put that out there. Also, we are close to transitioning to use it as a high back booster. I didnt think the instructions for installing it that way were as clear. Overall it is secure, comfortable, and easy to use so I would recommend it especially if you are able to get it from when you have a baby and use it through all of their stages.

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.

Kiddo loves it, fits in my small jeep wrangler back seat!

Our infant carseat was not well padded. This solved the problem and more! One reviewer said youve got to press the blue latch on both sides to turn the seat-- you do not. I can get my daughter in and out with one hand. Its magical. I never want her to grow out of rear-facing. Which is my only concern. I dont know how Ill survive when we lose the turn feature! It could only be improved with continuous rotation and a hood to keep the sun at bay!

SO easy to use! I love this carseat! Vehicles seem to be getting larger while parking spaces are either staying the same or getting smaller. This thing is a LIFESAVER when someone has parked way too close to you but you still have to get your little one in their seat. Follow the instructions, and it was a breeze to install. For reference, I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee (photo.) We also bought one for our truck, Ford F350; very large, and very high, but Im able to get our daughter in and out without issues. Worth the investment!
