comparison of swivel car seats

Now that there are several car seats that swivel, we’ve developed a helpful chart to help you keep track of some of the major differences between them.

three wide

turn2me’s widest point is 19 inches wide, which probably doesn’t make it a great choice for three situations. where i found the baby jogger city turn sat quite high and could swivel next to a lower convertible seat because swivel on that seat the turn2me sits lower and probably wouldn’t work well with convertibles or rear facing only seats that sit higher. Your mileage may vary, but I wouldn’t put the turn2me at the top of any list for tight spaces.

note: recline position 2 or 3 should be used for forward-facing children who weigh less than 25 pounds. csftl advocates for children to ride rear-facing for as long as possible, ideally for so long that this restriction no longer applies.

16 month old doll

3-year-old boy

For the first time since early 2020, I’m thrilled to have real kids share their thoughts on some car seats! This 3 year old model weighs 31 pounds and is 38 inches tall. she rides facing forward most of the time these days, but she was happy to give turn2me a spin for us.

important information: where to find it

manufacturing date label: the seat has a 10-year expiration date. the tag is on the bottom of the seat base.

general thoughts

The turn2me has everything we’d expect from a graco multi-mode car seat: it’s pretty easy to install, has a soft harness, and has the potential to be pretty durable. the turning part of the program is quite nice – the mechanism is very smooth. For families looking for a swivel seat, we would definitely put turn2me at the top of our list of swivel seats to consider!
