Graco Turn2Me 3-in-1 Car Seat

Keeping your little one rear-facing for as long as possible is so much easier if you can turn the car seat to put them in it. This swiveling seat means that you don’t have to contort your body while your baby kicks their feet and arches their back. We can’t promise that they won’t still kick and arch, but it’ll be easier on your back.

Amazon verified purchaser Amber A. Larsen says “This car seat is the Audi of car seats. It’s sleek, plush, and stunning looking. It feels very safe and solid without sacrificing baby’s comfort. Like all rotating car seats, it’s a beast so if you swap it between car seats a lot it’s probably not the choice for you.”

Pros

• Accommodates babies as small as four pounds and kids as big as 100 pounds and 57 inches tall
• Seat swivels when rear-facing
• Reviewers say that it feels luxurious
• Easy to install

Cons

• Somewhat more expensive than other models, but worth the upgrade
