@@TheFrenchGlow awesome! I watched this and the baby jogger and I’m 95% sure we’re going to go with the Graco because you don’t have to uninstall to change the recline.
I'm so glad you said this! Because I was about to let him know. Lol. I feel the cupholder was the hardest thing to install. I had to hold a light under to line up the "u"shape and the force it down till it clicked. But definitely won't be moving anywhere if the kids touch it. 😅😅
I bought an Ebenflo 360 and it works much better than the Graco one. I bought a turn on me and the chair does not allow you to turn 360 like the Ebenflo because it is comfortable that when your baby falls asleep and on the front you can turn it so that it can lie down and You can't do that with the Graco, plus the price is 100 dll more. I think I regret having bought a Graco.
Good review. I’m curious on space/fitment for a 4Runner. I noticed that you have/had one in another video. With that in mind and being you’ve tested most all of the rotating ones, what’s your favorite/most recommended? I’m torn between a few different ones, this being one and the l Chicco Fit360 is my top pick currently. Thank you for your time
Hi! The Graco fits great in a 4runner. You can still put the passenger seat back almost all the way in a fairly upright position and you can still rotate the carseat. Once you have the Graco front facing, make sure to get a seat protector because the closer the front seat is, the more your child can kick and stomp the front seat. I personally like the evenflo360 gold the best because the install is so easy but the Graco is easier to rotate. You can't go wrong with either.
@ thank you very much for that info/advice. The more I read up on it and then after what you mentioned, I’m leaning towards the Evenflo(gold) or the Chicco Fit 360. Both have things I like for sure. I know a couple people with the Chicco and being able to buy a spare base is definitely a bonus for grandparents, aunts/uncles etc etc… so I’m not having to remove mine. Not that the base of the Evenflo or Chicco are hard to install, but being I’m in a wheelchair, the less I have to deal with taking things in/out the better. Again, I appreciate your input and for the solid reviews that you did 🤘🏼
@@My3kidzaremyworld I don't think a baby would actually make contact with the seat but more worried about that would get jerked around.. I'm honestly thinking about making my own mount in the floor..
Hi the Graco would be slightly smaller than the evenflo 360 slim. The most difficult part is that if you are over 6' tall in a small car, leg room will start getting restricted.
Hi, no it does not. The Graco is install or remove only. You could remove the seats on the evenflo gold 360 or cybex. BUT the seat is much heavier than the base on 360 units, does not have easy handles or lie flat on the ground.
Right now im stuck between evenflo 360 slim, chicco 360 and this carseat. I have a 2015 jeep wrangler 4 door, what do you recommend between those 3 carseats? Thank you!
Hi! We have a wrangler and the Graco will be the best suited imho with evenflo 369 slim a possibility if you push in the passanger seat by 50-70%. Wrangler rear seats sit tall so these 360 seats are more forward than you realize.
@TheFrenchGlow thank you for your quick response I had evenflo slim on my mind but will definitely look into graco seat instead due to your recommendation 😀 love the jeeps but they have NO space ha not ready to get rid of yet!
Hi! If you want to sit 2 large kids + 1 carseat, it could work if you have a large suv. But for 3 carseats no it cannot. I also tried with 2 evenflo slim revolve360 + 1 maxi cosi and it wouldn't fit 3 in a row. The best any of the 2 in 1 convertible car seats can do is 2 carseats with a gap in the middle. Hope that helps!
No car seat, 360 revolving or not.. should be placed and used in the reclined position while forward facing. The carseat would be pushed too far up on the seat and too close to the driver/passenger seat if you reclined it. Recline is rear facing only
@@TheFrenchGlow No! You did not click the cups all the way into the bottom part. Mine are very firmly in. The "click in" is at the bottom, not the side.
The trick to install the cupholders correctly is to start by angling the top part with the "fin" on the rear downwards. The bottom part should be angled upwards. Insert the rear fin into that vertical slot then slide the bottom into place. You'll hear it click and then it'll be security in place.
Question: so it doesn’t turn when it’s in forward facing? Only rear facing you can turn the seat around to put child in? If it’s in recline 1/2/3 and you install it forward facing can you still try to turn around or would that be unsafe? I want to get this for my 9month old and will have it rear facing but I also have a 3.5 y/o who is coward facing and it would be nice to be able to turn him around strap him in then have him back to forward facing again. Pls help I’m almost about to checkout !!
The baby jogger can only be used up to 32” long. My daughter is at 31.50” so I just had to buy this Turn2Me. The baby jogger will fit in a smaller vehicle though.
I don’t love this seat, bought them for my twins and have a few gripes, but the cup holders snap in VERY tightly, my kids have never bumped them off and they destroy everything. If anyone’s are falling off they should look more closely at their installation.
You didn't mention the fact that the entire appeal of this seat (the rotating 360 feature) is lost once they are forward facing. Even the Graco youtube page showing how these are installed has turned off the comments, I assume because so many people are upset they have spent $300 on a seat with useless features due to poor design.
Does this graco 360 offer more leg room for front row seats when it is rear facing and in most decline or does the evenflo360 offer more legroom? I currently have the Evenflo and love the 360 option but its a little tight for the front seat passengers who are 5'8+
Hi! What type of vehicle do you have (suv, sedan, etc)? The Graco 360 will offer slightly more legroom for the front row because of the design. For reference, we can use the Graco 360 in a jeep wrangler and someone up to 5'10- 6' might have enough room upfront but no way would I use the evenflo.
@@TheFrenchGlow I have a Mazda CX 9. I'm perfectly fine in the front with the Evenflo 360 but was looking into the Graco for helping other taller passengers in the front seat 😁
This car seat is god awful for installation, I like the idea of it but the design is awful. Why make the anchors in a belt form and have to feed it through instead of two very small anchors that just connect then tighten. The seat is still loose even when anchored. 0/10 don’t recommend. I like the rotating seat idea but this needs better installation without having to open all these secret doors and taking the cushions off
Hi! The snuglock should be secure. It could be your seat belt has no or too much give (ie the snuglock cannot push down enough because the belt is too tight or you have too much seat belt and you didn't lock the seat belt so it can only be tightened but not loosened). I would recommend removing the belt out and locking up your seat belt (each car is different but usually you pull the seat belt out all the way until it goes into a locking mode) and trying it with more give but still a secure fit. Also sometimes the belt might slip out of the belt seatholder on the carseat base which also interferes with closing the snuglock completely. If you can close the snuglock without the seat belt easily, it should be able to be secured.
I’ve been researching car seats for far too long now and this video was rhe best one at showing me what I needed to know.
Hi! Thanks for watching! I have more coming but definitely recommend the Graco.
@@TheFrenchGlow awesome! I watched this and the baby jogger and I’m 95% sure we’re going to go with the Graco because you don’t have to uninstall to change the recline.
Push in on the cup holder once you have it inserted and you’ll hear it lock and click.
I'm so glad you said this! Because I was about to let him know. Lol. I feel the cupholder was the hardest thing to install. I had to hold a light under to line up the "u"shape and the force it down till it clicked. But definitely won't be moving anywhere if the kids touch it. 😅😅
Same thing I learned when installing it as well. 💯
Great video. Thanks. I just got this one. You can actually push the cup holder down further and it will stay in place really well.
I bought an Ebenflo 360 and it works much better than the Graco one. I bought a turn on me and the chair does not allow you to turn 360 like the Ebenflo because it is comfortable that when your baby falls asleep and on the front you can turn it so that it can lie down and You can't do that with the Graco, plus the price is 100 dll more. I think I regret having bought a Graco.
when are you supposed to remove the infant insert?
If you push the cupholder hard the bottom part will click. Even me will have a tough time taking it off.
Is there a handle for easy transfer in and out of the vehicle? Might also be a draw back for some.

Can you turn from forward facing to side to get baby out?
My only complaint is i dont like that you cant secure the back rest when in the rear facing position.. You can tip the seat up quite a distance..
Having the same issue with my daughter carseat
@@My3kidzaremyworld I don't think a baby would actually make contact with the seat but more worried about that would get jerked around.. I'm honestly thinking about making my own mount in the floor..
I thought I was the only one with the issue ! So then we cannot recline the seat when it’s installed ? Mines stuck at a position and won’t move !!!
When are you supposed to take out the infant head and body support? I can’t find anywhere a weight/height limit on the manual
Did you find out?
Any luck?
Hello! Great video:) question, can you rotate seat to place child in while installed for forward facing ?
No
Hello! Does it recline while front facing?
hi! In high booster or front facing mode, it does not recline.
You have to change the recline while in rear facing and then rotate the seat into front facing. It took me awhile to figure that piece out! 😂
Hi, great video! what would you recommend this one or even flo 360 slim for small car?😅
Hi the Graco would be slightly smaller than the evenflo 360 slim. The most difficult part is that if you are over 6' tall in a small car, leg room will start getting restricted.
I’m literally watching this to figure out HOW to get the cup holders out to clean and I can’t get these suckers! 😂 and he just removed them with ease!
What am I doing wrong ? My rest face car seat will not recline. It’s stuck on the level 1 but won’t move up to 2,3, or 4!!!
does this carry and reattach back in like for dr appts etc
Hi, no it does not. The Graco is install or remove only. You could remove the seats on the evenflo gold 360 or cybex. BUT the seat is much heavier than the base on 360 units, does not have easy handles or lie flat on the ground.
This is such a great review
How do u move the harness straps
It doesn't detach for portabilitg?

This is only for car use, not for stroller, correct?
Wondering to know too
Great video. Thank you!
This is the one to get after thorough research. Thank you.
I have gifted two of the Gracos for baby showers and both loved it.
Does it recline in front facing?
No car seat, 360 revolving or not.. should be placed and used in the reclined position while forward facing. The carseat would be pushed too far up on the seat and too close to the driver/passenger seat if you reclined it. Recline is rear facing only
Can the cushions be removed for cleaning like the evenflo 360 extend?
Yes
The cup holders don't just pop off. You just didn't install yours correctly. You should hear a snap when you install them.
Hi! I use this regularly and you can clip it in but your child can still remove them easily.
@@TheFrenchGlow No! You did not click the cups all the way into the bottom part. Mine are very firmly in. The "click in" is at the bottom, not the side.
@@InTheArtRoom4 Agreed, I installed them incorrectly initially as well. You really have to snap them in hard. It takes some force.

Looking for answer to this question as well.
Got one of these and can't seem to adjust the shoulder straps when I switched car any guidance?
hi! are the shoulder straps stuck on something?
Will this or the baby jogget fit in a smaller car? I have a jeep patriot, and bf is about 6'1

Do you have a comparison video or an opinion on which you like better between the evenflo 360 extend?
Hi! Yes you can watch my comparison here and I have a extend video separately. ua-cam.com/video/IfSi1b6ZP28/v-deo.html
does anyone know if this comes off the base? do you have to take the baby out every time?!
Hi! It does not come off base and you do not have to take the seat out everytime
So you recommend this one over the revolve 360 slim?
It depends where you prefer the handle locations. The seats are equally cushy but not too soft. I think both are very good and easy to clean.
@@TheFrenchGlow we ended up ordering the gold slim

With the snug lock closed my seat is not at all secured. Is my snug lock defective?
Hi! The snuglock should be secure. It could be your seat belt has no or too much give (ie the snuglock cannot push down enough because the belt is too tight or you have too much seat belt and you didn't lock the seat belt so it can only be tightened but not loosened).

IT’S A SCAM!!! 😵😵😵😵
Does it rotate while front facing?
hi! you cannot rotate it in front facing. The back of the seats in the car will block it from rotating.
