Baby Jogger City Turn Rotating Convertible Car Seat, Unique 180-Degree Turn, Lightweight COOLMAX Fabric, Pike

Most Convenient Car Seat
I love our Baby Jogger City Turn car seat. First and foremost, it feels very secure in our car and gives me peace of mind that it is keeping our children safe, my my favorite feature undoubtedly is the rotation. It allows me to easily get my wiggly kids in and out of the car. The chair itself feels luxe and comfy. The built-in cupholder is an added bonus. We bought two for my first child, and have already bought two more for my second. Cannot recommend enough!

IN LOVE!!!
I was debating for SO LONG if I wanted to get this, the Chicco Fit 360 or the Evenflo 360 but after tons and tons of research, I finally pulled the trigger and got this one and HOLY MOLY we love it!! The rotation is so smooth, the seat is COMFY – my 14mo old son loves it! Yes it only rotates when in rear facing but my kiddo will be old enough and capable enough to get into the seat by himself by the time he forward faces. Keep in mind there’s no pockets or anywhere for the seatbelt clips to tuck into on the sides when not in use, but they can drape over each side pretty well as long as you have loosened the straps enough when you take kiddo out. Installation was super easy, just read through the directions first. But seriously y’all this is a game changer since my kiddo was getting HEAVY. If you’re comparing over and over, just get this one!

Over-priced but the only one of its kind
The chair fabric feels great, very smooth, light, feels almost like merino wool. As well, the position of the chair when rotated is high and well positioned, definitely making it easier to take your baby out or put baby in. Some complain about having to rotate chair back as a result, but the benefits of the position warrant a little care with rotating back. Plus, when I rotate back after taking baby out, I only rotate enough to close the door, not to relock at center, so when I open door to put baby back, I can just grab chair anywhere to rotate to position to put baby back in. So it’s pretty easy. The rotation is smooth and secure, and the chair doesn’t have much slack in center locked position. Chair was also very easy to install, since its high protruding base makes it easy to properly tension either the seat belt or anchor belts tightly. What we didn’t like were the cheap light plastic of the middle buckle, the light duty groin buckle, and the impossibility of fixing the fabric tab covering the groin buckle in place. Also it’s impossible to keep the belt off to the sides when trying to insert baby, so you will always be pulling and looking for the belt behind baby. Last, lack of swivel adjustment unless you remove the seat. Though it has 3 angles, only 1 was usable for 15 month baby. The others would give baby zero leg room. So all in all, as a car seat, the lackluster hardware for the price is unfortunate. (Our Uppababy Mesa and a Cybex Sirona S both had superior buckles, groin buckle fabric tab, and a way to hold the belt open when placing/removing baby.) However, the ease of secure install and the way the seat rotates out makes the seat truly more convenient to use as I can stand erect outside the door to put baby in and out. (The Cybex Sirona S, for comparison with similar rotating seats, still require you to bow your head to fit inside car to seat/unseat baby.) If the hardware were as well designed and built as similarly priced car seats, and it would be so simple to do so, this City Turn would be the top top pick. It’s compact, light weight, easy to install, easy to rotate, actually convenient to use. We just wished it had the hardware as the Sirona S. (But no forget the Sirona, that’s a disaster in design, not worth your time even trying it.)
