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

This 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.

This car seat is really neat. It takes the hassle out of trying to get your little squirmy newborn or toddler buckled in properly into a rear facing car seat. The main perk of this seat is that it turns 90 degrees towards you while you are loading your child and then you can turn it 90 degrees back to be rear facing again. The mechanism for rotation is very easy, there is a button behind the cup holder that you press and then you turn the seat in the direction you need. Once you load your child is buckled in safely you turn it back to be rear facing until it clicks safely into place. The car itself is packaged well and looks great out of the box. Assembly consists of taking two cup holders and attaching them into their respective labeled left and right sides of the seat. If you have an infant you need to use the infant insert. Aside from that you may need to adjust the tilt of the seat depending on your child’s size. This seat should go all the way from a small newborn all the way to up 65lbs and 49 inches tall. The cover itself is a nice purple color. This is a great change from all of the bland gray and black car seats that always look dirty after a few years. The covers for this seat can all be unsnapped for easy cleaning. Mounting is straightforward. The seat itself has a QR code with video instructions which I found to be very helpful to get the adjustments just right. There is also a printed manual with storage for it built into the base of the seat. To mount it you can use the latch system, with lower and upper anchors as well as just using the car’s seat belt depending on your vehicle. The seat also has FAA approval to be used in forward facing mode. One thing to note is the turning feature of the seat only works in rear facing mode. Which does make sense as that is the age where getting the child into the seat is more difficult. Once your child is front facing the need to have a rotating seat is much less as they can probably climb in on their own. Overall I really like this seat. The mechanism for rotation works well, it’s easy to clean, and it feels like a solid design. If you are looking for a rotating car seat this is certainly a great choice.

I got this for my son and DIL, for my grandson. This is a great car seat. We all love it. Although, I may love it more. Lol. I sure wish I had this seat when my children were babies. The fact it turns towards you (Rear facing only,) a full 90 degrees, so its easier getting baby in and out? Oh boy, its a huge help, so this car seat is also convenient. This is a super sturdy solid car seat. Very heavy-duty. And its seemingly comfy, cozy for my little Mister. The cushion covering is wonderful and removable for cleaning. The seat has multiple tilt options for both front and rear facing, and the harness adjustments are easy to do. The headrest and harness adjust together at the same time. Which is super awesome compared to how much of pain it was for us when my children where young. Yes, the infant insert is included and must be use for newborns and infants. And the InRight LATCH can be stored away in a convenient hidden compartment under the seat, for when its not in use. Its easy to install in the backseat. It converts easily to the next stage. Nothing really to assemble, except for the cupholders. Which is basically self explanatory. There is a QR code for video of how tos and a full install instructions. It meets all safety requirements and is FAA approved for both rear and forward facing positions. Mom and dad wont be using this car seat too much right away, since mom likes the carrier seat, because she doesnt have to disturb her little mans while taking him in and out. Well, for the moment anyhow. But this is great for when Grammy has her little Mister. And even mommy admits, she will prefer this one as he gets heavier. Till then, Grammy will use it.

I 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!!

Definitely a back saver when putting a kid into the car! I absolutely love it so far!

Overall 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.

Absolutely recommend for future buyers. I was just tired of trying to hop my baby in the car seat. With this swivel it helps out so much with the strain on my back. The swivel is so easy and installed was a breeze

Love this car seat it is perfect for me and my son. Very easy to turn and love how you can adjust the recliner.

This car seat is so awesome! We have a car and so it is hard to get our toddler out of the car all the time. This is so nice because we can turn her and get her in and out so easy. The two cup holders are nice. There is lots of padding for her and seems comfortable. It can be a little bit of a hassle to transfer over to another car but less than five minutes to get it switched. It has been only used in rear facing so far and works great. We also love the levels of tilting. A great car seat overall.

I have a little one with special needs who needs to remain rear facing for as long as possible. This seat has made it much easier to get her in and out of the car since I can turn it toward me instead of reaching in and twisting to get her secure. It’s a bit pricey but has made my life easier.
