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

My 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!

This car seat is a car seat that your child can grow with. Out of the box it was easy to install in my car. It wasnt too heavy nor too light which made me feel confident to use it. The straps were easy to put around my child and I just love the color I would definitely recommend this item to my fiends and family. I couldnt be any more excited about watching my child grow and see how the car seat convert as he grows.

Bought for the turn feature. Great overall product.

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.

Seat is in the most reclined rear facing position but still seems to be very upright. We do love how sturdy it is!

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

I love this car seat it makes putting my daughter in and out of the car so much easier! She loves the seat. She used to cry whenever I put her in the seat I used previously but with this one she’s much happier.

Our baby has been off the growth charts since he was about 3 months old. This is a MAJOR back saver!! We have had it about 3 months now and we are loving it!! I can’t say it’s very easy to install, but we are first time parents and have only owned this seat, and an infant seat. So far I don’t think any car seats are “easy” to install. Took about 20 minutes. We look forward to getting several years of use out of this seat!

This car seat has made getting my daughter in and out of my truck very easy. I drive a 2022 GMC 2500. This truck is very tall. With the car seat turning feature it has made it a breeze putting her in and out. Adjusting the seat as she grows is also simple. Raising the shoulder straps as she gets older is done by a simple squeeze of a button and pull. The only down side I have notice is I dont think you can remove the shoulder straps or the seat cover for washing. Manual cleaning will have to be done.

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.
