> 3 dayWe love this car seat! The turn feature is so nice since I am short and have to get our child in and out of the seat. It is easy to install and cleans up beautifully. I like that the cups can be detached, it makes cleaning them so easy!

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 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 dayThis car seat works as advertised. However, the 360 function only works for rear facing. this is because the car seat has two designated slots for the seatbelt restraints.

> 3 dayWhere was this 5 years ago with my first. They’re expensive but, man, they’re worth it. No more breaking your back and neck strapping baby in! I’ll never own a different seat. My only complaint is I feel like maybe this one is larger, like it sits closer to the back of the front seat when it’s turned around to rear face. If your car is super small, or the driver is long legged and needs the seat all the way back it might be a problem. It’s fine for me, but my husband is unable to drive and have this seat behind him because he needs to move further back but cannot due to hitting the car seat. We have a 2015 Suburban. Also, it’s bear to install!!! Once it’s tightened in you better plan to leave it. It takes two people!!

> 3 dayPut this in a 5 series BMW because i was tired of ducking down and inside the car due to how low the car is. This made life easier for sure. I done have to lean all the way in the car which is better on the back. Not sure if this is the best 360 seat but its definitely better than a standard car seat

> 3 day4/5 stars. Easy to use. Annoying to install in my car. This would be best for bigger size vehicles. Turning system will turn to fast sometimes and wont catch the lock so youll have to turn it slowly. Wish it could lock while Im buckling baby in so it couldnt try to turn. Turn system is great but Id prefer a pumpkin seat for convenience on carrying baby in and put without waking baby up.

> 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.

> 3 dayOur Chicco next fit expired so we needed a new car seat for the 2nd car. We have the Evenflo 360 rotate in the other car already, but it wasnt on sale this time, so we got the Graco one instead. I feel like the Evenflo is way sturdier & easier to turn, and install. The color is pretty though.
