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

Recently bought this for our one year old after weeks of researching rotating convertible car seats, and I’m glad we chose this! Prior to this, we used a Nuna infant carrier. We chose this over staying with Nuna due to their comparable model only having a 40lb max. It was fairly easy to install. I wanted a car seat that can turn because I’m not very tall and I drive a Tahoe so it’s already a struggle to get our son in the car. He’s also a sweaty lil one so I like that it has the cooling material. Overall it feels high quality, comfortable, sturdy, safe, and fits well in the back captain seat. It wasn’t too heavy to pick up to install it. He also seems to love it and doesn’t throw fits getting in the car seat anymore. The turning feature is a life saver and game changer! It turns very smooth. The only con I can think of is the lack of transition to a booster but I’ll cross that bridge when we get there. We got this one sale for 25% off, but even if we hadn’t I think it’s still worth the price.

I’m not sure why this car seat is flagged as frequently returned because that is not my experience. We purchased this car seat well over a year ago and love it. It’s is very comfortable and roomy for our son. He is now 2 years old and fits so great in it. The rotation feature always works well and has been so convenient, especially now that I’m pregnant again and don’t have to climb in the car to get him in and out. The only downside is probably the size/heaviness, as it is a larger/bulkier car seat. Besides moving it from our car to my husbands, the size has never been a concern for us. We even took it on an airplane and had no issue traveling with it. I choose this car seat initially because it looked comfortable for our son and the rotation was convenient for all of us. It has not disappointed us.

Best purchase ever!! Bought this to use in my vehicle for when I pick up our granddaughter. I'm a Nana, and getting my granddaughter in and out of a stationary car seat when they face backwards is challenging, to say the least. But, when I saw this swiveling car seat I knew I had to purchase. I'm so glad I did!! So easy and convenient to push the lever and it swings to where you need it. The car seat is secure, padded, and adjustable. Best car seat ever. And, we can still use it when she becomes front facing. Great purchase.

The most amazing car seat in the world honestly. Easy to install. Easy to adjust. Great design! Turns left and right so you dont have to uncomfortably get into the car with your baby when you’re putting them in the car. On rainy days I can sit in the backseat and strap the baby in easily. So much better on our back. Very safe and easy to adjust straps on the baby. Cup holder is convenient. Has some weight to it which makes me feel like it’s durable. Spot clean or remove lining and wash. Recommend to others!

Really good car seat - very comfortable and easy to use.The rotation feature is very smooth with the button at the center and allows you to rotate with a one hand movement while holding your little one. Few more nice additions - also has a clicking feature, where the car seat clicks, once its in the right location and a cup holder for drinks

I have two rotating car seats, this one and the Cybex one. This one does some things better than the Cybex but it does some things worse. In my search for the perfect car seat…this one is good but could be better. If I had to buy another one, I would probably go try the Nuna or the Graco versions (Evenflo out of the running) and hope that they’ve addressed some of the issues mentioned below.PRO - This thing is super easy to install. I was able to get it really secure in the captains chair of an SUV without issues. Way easier than my Cybex.PRO - The turning mechanism is super easy to do with one hand. This is important when you’ve got a wiggly baby in the other arm.PRO - Built in cup holder. Fits the camelbak toddler bottles perfectly.PRO - The whole point of the turning car seat is to help make it easier to get your kid into the car, and this definitely fits the bill. I have a bad back and this thing is a lifesaver compared to other non-turning seats. I’ll never go back to non-rotating seats, given the choice.PRO - Slightly lower profile than the Cybex because it doesn’t have the load leg. But it’s still a large car seat.CON - The padded cover for the between-leg strap isn’t attached and just comes flying off every time you take the kid out. Completely unusable trash. Kid may be uncomfortable if they aren’t wearing shorts.CON - The seat turns not from the center, but from the back, so it swings out over the door threshold when it’s turned. This means you cannot close the door to some cars when it is turned. Which means while you’re holding the child you just took out of the car, you have to rotate the car seat back. Super annoying, and was not an issue with other turning car seats. This also means that younger toddlers will be unable to climb up into their seat for much longer. My 2.5 year old can get into the Cybex and her non turning Nuna by herself, but cannot get into the city turn. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to close the car door only to have it bounce open. We have a LARGE SUV with captains chairs.CON - The seatbelts are short so they do NOT stay out of the way when trying to fasten the child in. You always have to fish them out from behind the child. There’s no magnets or clips or pockets like other seats have to help keep them out of the way. The chest clap feels a little cheaply made.CON - Recline can’t be adjusted on the fly like the Cybex can. Car seat has to be uninstalled to do that, but luckily this isn’t something I need to do often so it’s not a big issue. You’ll probably need to do it once between the child’s age of 0-6m.In conclusion, I would buy this car seat over the Cybex Sirona S BUT I don’t think it’s the best revolving car seat on the market. If you get it as a gift or get a good coupon for it, by all means…you’ll love it. And if you’ve never had a rotating car seat before…you’ll love it. But it has some flaws and I think they need to address these. It’s possible you could figure out a solution for a couple of them or perhaps installing it in a different type of car would address the swinging-out-too-far issue for some, but these at the issues that affect me.

We love this car seat! It is big, so if you don't have a big car, it could be tight. It fits well in my Ford Explorer! We are still rear-facing, and the ability to turn the carseat is so helpful. It seems to be super comfy for my toddler!
