What Real Owners Think

Here's what actual owners of the Graco Turn2Me 3-in-1 had to say based on hundreds to thousands of reviews we've analyzed from Walmart, Target, and Amazon.

Pros	Cons
The rotating feature makes it much easier to get babies in and out of the car seat. Some parents describe it as a "game changer"! The seat is comfortable for babies. Several parents reported that their babies appeared more at ease in this car seat than other ones they tried. The seat quality and materials feel high-end.	The rotating feature only works when rear-facing. It does not swivel in the forward-facing orientation. It's very heavy and bulky and takes up quite a bit of space in the backseat. The cup holders are somewhat flimsy for the price paid.

Who Should Buy the Graco Turn2Me 3-in-1?

The rotating design of the Graco Turn2Me makes it ideal for parents who struggle with placing baby in a rear-facing seat. The ability to swivel the seat 90 degrees eliminates the need to reach in awkwardly or strain your back. This car seat is also great for taller vehicles where lifting baby up into the seat is challenging. The smooth rotation allows you to safely secure baby at your level outside the car. Just click the seat back into rear-facing position and go!

Parents who frequently switch the seat between vehicles may find the bulk and weight of this car seat inconvenient. The plush inserts provide nice cushioning but can also impede cleaning.

Final Verdict

The Graco Turn2Me 3-in-1 Car Seat boasts an innovative rotating feature that's been widely celebrated by users for its ease of access, especially for infants. Its capacity to grow with the child makes it a worthy long-term investment.

However, there are a few points of contention. The rotation is limited to the rear-facing mode, which some users found misleading. Its size and weight have been criticized for compatibility issues with smaller cars. While its safety features are commendable, issues with installation and adjustments have been raised.

This car seat stands out for its unique rotation feature and extensive safety measures, but potential buyers should consider their car's size and their willingness to manage a heftier seat. For those who can accommodate its quirks, the Graco Turn2Me offers a combination of comfort and safety that's hard to beat.
