GracoTurn2Me 3-in-1 Rotating Convertible Car Seat, Rear to Forward Facing & Highback Booster, Easy Installation, Brighton

This is a great car seat. Great color, great cushion, super easy to “turn to me”. HOWEVER. It is not the most user friendly for set up- I’m still not sure if the lap belt is where it belongs. I wish the company had more videos to address fit but the ones available were not helpful.

First off how fast it actually got delivered to me here in Hawaii was amazing! Literally got it within the week of me ordering.This seat is on the BULKY side, but what caught my eye on this were 3 reasons:1. This carseat will grow with my son far into his Kindergarten years (an investment purchase)2. The fact that it swivels towards me when I am buckeling him in, AMAZING! We all know how difficult it can be with shoving a little angry baby into a car seat is no easy task!3. My son is only 7 months old and he is a BIG BABY (20+lbs), so he definitely has more room now rather than in his Nuna carseat.Some functional issues I've come across:1. Locating the strap release was a little tricky. It's definitely hiding, but once you find it no problem (it's where the pull strap is)2. Rotating the carseat in certain directions in my compact SUV seems to be a little difficult since it's rubbing on the surfaces. I can see that overtime this can cause some wear and tear on my interior.

I am 1000% willing to give up the “convenience” of being able to carry baby around in his car seat for the swivel feature of the Turn-to-me seat. I absolutely love this car seat and have and will wing its praises to anyone who will listen. On top of being so much easier to deal with, it looks super nice and comes from a trusted brand

So upon opening it's a great product. Everything was included, nothing was damaged and seems very comfortable with lots of cushion. We love the color options. Not just black or gray or white. At first our baby seemed uncomfortable since it looked like his chin was to his chest even though we placed him in it properly. It doesn't turn 360 on rear facing which I didn't care for since we won't be having him front facing for awhile since my daughter at almost 3 years old is still rear facing.Con:My husband didn't like that setting this up in the car was more complicated than our Evenflo 360 that he had to watch the video, which he didn't need to do with the Evenflo. It also needs to be reattached or readjusted to fit tighter as the seat loosens up after a couple of rides, also something we never have to do with our other one. It doesn't detach from the base, which I feel would make cleaning it harder but haven't had to clean it yet so can't comment on that too much. The cup holders do need to be attached. Doesn't lock on a position as effectively as the Evenflo. So when turning, turn slowly so it'll lock into position.Pros:Easy to rotate. Love how the buckles slide easy across the chest. Looks great and very soft. More compact than our Evenflo so it leaves more space for center seat.

Loved how easy to install
