I have the Graco Turn2Me and the Evenflo360 OG- they now have the extend and slim. If they had had a slim when I was shopping I might have gone with that, just because I know we want to grow our family. I prefer the Evenflo 360. 1. It turns 360 vs 180 on the Graco. I haven't moved to forward facing yet, but I have a feeling I am going to miss that rotation. 2. My daughter seems more comfortable in the Evenflo, she is tall for her age and long torso. Both fit ok. She just fusses less. 3. The Evenflo base, I can't remember if they market it as a rebound type, but it seems that way. Regardless it makes a GREAT spot for their feet to rest and protect your vehicle seat a little from their shoes. In the Graco there isn't that and we have cloth seats, as I rotate her her feet snag on the vehicle seat fabric and I have to be more careful to help her with her feet as I rotate so I don't hurt her. With the Evenflo that is much less of an issue. I will say it is easier to get the cloth off to clean from the Graco than the Evenflo. The turning mechanism in both are fine. No sticking issues for me with either, and we have had them for a year or so now. Both really easy to use. Install I feel was fairly easy on both/comparable. You do use a tether in rear facing for the Evenflo.
@rachelb4812 I am not sure about the buckle. But I feel the crotch buckle is a little snug for her for most things, strollers too. She is a big kid for her age. Something I probably need to look at more, I am not as up on the safety standards/requirements for that.
We got the Evenflo gold revolve 360 and we love it. Install is easy. You can recline your baby without bothering them and i like the choive between front and rear facing without having to remove
This was another great one (that Michelle also recommends). The only reason I left it out was I never used it in-person or experimented with it at a trade show so I couldn't definitively suggest it, but thank you for confirming that it's a solid buy.
Us too! We love it! And the lifetime warranty is what is the total selling point for me-- they will even replace the seat in the case of a crash! @@dadverb
+1 to Evenflo Can't believe you left that out It also comes in a lot of variants... I have both regular and slim They also have green / fr-free and gold and sensor-safe variants
All Graco car seats apparently have flame retardant chemicals, which have been linked to various health issues. Most other brands phased that out a long time ago
2 years ago, we got the orbit baby. Having a swivel seat was such an innovative design at the time. Now time have passed, I still want the rotation but not the orbit baby.
Are you still liking your nunu? Our pipa car seat cover looked like crap after 1 washing. Also wondering if it is too big for a midsize suv. Don’t want to drive with one of our knees in the dash 😖
@@cour2knee yes we have washed it once. After watching and listening to reviews we decided to dry it outside. It was a bit of a pain to get back on but still looks great and turns great. We have been using it since my baby was born (almost 18 months). We love the turn in comparison to the cybex still. The only problem we ever run into is when food gets caught in his seat the crumbs cause the rotation to be rough. A little vacuum under the cushion always seems to help.
We have ours in our Mazda (captains chair, not sure if that makes a difference) it fits great for me but my husband has to push his seat up just to give some space but, it's not bad. The cybex in the Tacoma is rough for me since we have that sitting on the passenger side.
We have the evenflo 360 and my only issue is when we use it facing forward, because the seat is very curved, our kid sits very upright and this causes their head to go forward when sleeping, even with light braking. Do you know if this is the same issue with the seats you mentioned on here?
This was another great one (that Michelle also recommends). The only reason I left it out was I never used it in-person or experimented with it at a trade show so I couldn't definitively suggest it, but thank you for confirming that it's a solid buy.
I own both and am happy with both As mentioned above, RAVA doesn’t rotate but a solid car seat. Super comfortable for the baby and feels super safe. REVV, small weight limit but really great rotating car seat. If you have a smaller child, REVV weight limit might be a nonissue Both install wise are super easy and feels very secure. Super user friendly.
CYBEX CLOUD T Vs. MAXI COSI CORAL 360? any thoughts feedback on which might be best for a Newborn? We love both for many reasons, so we can't seem to make up our minds. The Cloud T seems more comfy and softer, it has the reclining option, it goes up to 24 months of use, besides being super safe, it also has such a fancy & pretty look, its not bulky at all, it seems smaller and lighter than many others. The MAXI COSI CORAL 360 however, has the magical 1.7kg detachable inside part which no other carrier has, and seems like a game changer for a fast and easy use, it doesn't feel as comfy or soft as the Cloud T though, also the looks and design are more standard/basic compared with all the attention to detail of the Cloud T, and its only recommended to use for 12 months, so we would really be getting this one only because of its amazing one-of-a-kind feature of detaching the inside part and carry it on the shoulder for short errands or easy in-and-out access from the car without the need of a stroller. Any comments from anyone that has used them would be super helpful! Thanks!
We haven't tested either, so can't speak specifically to them. However, having used both Cybex and Maxi Cosi seats, the Cybex seats have always edged out their competitors IMO. - Ben
@@dadverb Thanks! Yeah, overall we liked the Cybex Cloud T better, it was just hard to decide since the Maxi Cosi detachable part in the Coral 360 Model was very attractive. But, we went for the Cloud T in the end, it seemed like a better investment, and better option for us :)
There are very few rear facing isofix rotating car seats that have passed the German and Swedish enhanced tests. The Joie spin safe is one, so I went for that.
This is a great reminder, I failed to mention that this is uniquely made for US audiences as international standards, testing, and availability will vary outside of our borders.
@@dadverb I would always encourage rear facing. It’s still relatively new in my country the UK, but there is so much evidence to support it being safer
@@NecroMoz Yes, the general guidelines from CPSTs is to remain rear-facing for as long as possible and to max out the limits listed in your car seat's manual before forward facing.
Trying to buy a rotating car seat now. I do have a question. Will the rotating car seats fit on any stroller, or do I need a specific attachment one? Thank you
In many cases is the base that rotates, not the seat itself. So the Cybex base is the part that rotates and the infant seat is more or less a normal infant car seat.
@@yerliramos When you rotate the car seat to get them out - you can just leave it facing the door. Then when you go back to load up - it's already in the position to put your child in. Just a time saver and makes it less frustrating to use
Thoughts on all the safety concerns and random horry story's of them breaking in crashes? I know they are crash rated like all seats are they just kinda freak me out? Also when you mention limits on seats don't forget hight limits, my kid never out weighed his baby seat but he out grew it, I never even thought they had hieght limits haha
I believe what you are talking about are from crashes where the seat wasn't locked either forward or rear facing. In a crash they can eject from the base and cause an issue but as long as they are locked they are completely safe.
Unfortunately I haven't personally tested or explored it. If you have any overarching thoughts on it, please let me know some pros and cons. That'd help me learn.

This is the review / comparison I’ve needed!! Was trying to decide between the two. No problems with the crotch buckle being too short?
@rachelb4812 I am not sure about the buckle. But I feel the crotch buckle is a little snug for her for most things, strollers too. She is a big kid for her age. Something I probably need to look at more, I am not as up on the safety standards/requirements for that.

That’s the one I’ve been looking at for my son. Just waiting to see if it goes on a Black Friday sale!
+1 to Evenflo
Can't believe you left that out
It also comes in a lot of variants... I have both regular and slim
They also have green / fr-free and gold and sensor-safe variants
Glad you asked about this one! We love this car seat and highly recommend
Can you please review the Nuna REVV Rotating Convertible Car Seat?
Never saw any Nuna product reviews on your profile. Any reason behind that?
I love the city turn! It’s perfect for nd winters. I can just hop in the mini van and buckle her in and we can both be warm
How do you travel and take the rotating car seat? I want to buy one but I wonder what to do when I have to travel with kids?

We have the Nuna Revv and the Cybex Sirona S. I couldn't recommend Nuna enough!! The Cybex isn't bad but not as user friendly as the Nuna.

Maxi Cosi 360 also converts all the way from infant to booster (100lbs).
I love our Evenflo 360
Your videos are so helpful to me! I've always checked your videos before buying anything for my baby. Pls make a video on toddler bikes
We have the evenflo 360 and my only issue is when we use it facing forward, because the seat is very curved, our kid sits very upright and this causes their head to go forward when sleeping, even with light braking. Do you know if this is the same issue with the seats you mentioned on here?
How have you found the material in the baby jogger? Compared to say quality of Nuna?
Evenflo revolve 360 was game changing for our family!!!🙌 I would love to hear your opinion on that car seat!!

I second this. Love my 360!
Any opinions about the Nuna REVV or RAVA?
Revv looked nice but height weight limits are too small
Rava does not rotate
We went with Evenflo 360 and would recommend it
I own both and am happy with both
As mentioned above, RAVA doesn’t rotate but a solid car seat. Super comfortable for the baby and feels super safe.
REVV, small weight limit but really great rotating car seat. If you have a smaller child, REVV weight limit might be a nonissue

@NecroMorrius where did you purchase yours joie I can’t seem to find any sites that deliver to US

Ja polecam avionaut Pixel pro, świetny, bezpieczny fotelik. I bardzo lekki, nie nadźwigałam się podczas transportu czy montażu.
Sadly i raised 3 kids with standard car seat its so nice now maybe the 4th will enjoy this one
How come you didn’t include the Evenflo 360? It’s been great and your able to close the door with the car seat fully rotated
What do you mean close the door with the carseat fully rotated? I'm just starting to research and I'm confuse
@@yerliramos When you rotate the car seat to get them out - you can just leave it facing the door. Then when you go back to load up - it's already in the position to put your child in. Just a time saver and makes it less frustrating to use

Anybody have the chicco 360 ?
I’ve been waiting for this video! I haven’t purchased a new car seat hoping this would come out before I had to. But also..why no Nuna?
Unfortunately I haven't personally tested Nuna, Bugaboo and Evenflo rotating seats so I had to omit them for this particular video.
Just bought and returning the cybex. Note to all big babies/big leg babies- the latch digs into the baby’s legs 😩
I love the city turn!
your link is broken
Missed the Bugaboo (Nuna) Owl
Unfortunately I haven't personally tested or explored it. If you have any overarching thoughts on it, please let me know some pros and cons. That'd help me learn.
That is not available in the US.
