Maxi Cosi Turn2Me Review
The Turn2Me from Graco is a budget-friendly car seat that can also be used as a high-seat booster. It features an easy and quick installation, back-saving rotating design, one-hand rotation and built-in harness holders.
It's also airline-approved and has an exclusive TensionFix tension sensitive indicator which helps solve the issue that 7 out of 10 parents face with loose belts in their vehicles.
The following are some examples of
This car seat is a great choice for those who want to rotate their infant car seats but don't need a dedicated base that rotates. It also has a few additional features that make it an ideal choice for parents who own in a smaller vehicle or frequently travel. It has a built-in headrest and an integrated cup holder that can be adjusted to fit the child's size. It can be used either forward or rear-facing mode. It comes with a one-handed rotation feature that allows you to easily get your child in and out of the car seat.
The i-Spin Safe comes in a single piece, without a separate base, and it is installed with Isofix (follow the usual color-coded system). The soft locks helped keep the seat in place while buckling or unbuckling the child.
maxi cosi car seat swivel pushchairsandprams can be used either front or rear-facing, and is compatible with Maxi Cosi’s new slide-out bases. It has an excellent ADAC rating and comes with an array of features including "Guard Surround safety panels, a magnetic buckle holder to keep straps from getting in the way, and a 19 position adjustment of the harness and headrest. It is designed to withstand crashes up to 25mph, and is iSize compliant.
However the seat is a bit heavy and bulky, making it difficult to move from vehicle to car. It's also not as wide as some of its competitors and the height adjustment has only five options that could be restrictive as your child grows. The cup holders are small and can only accommodate regular-sized beverages. This defeats the purpose to have built-in holders.
Another major flaw is that it doesn't have a storage area that can be used for the LATCH connectors, and you'll need to remove the seat from your vehicle to access the connectors. They'll need to be stored in the belt path or on the bar that prevents rebound, which is less convenient than the majority of seats that allow you to stash the connectors on the side of the seat.
Installation
The car seat is among the most important products you can purchase for your child. They should be installed correctly to ensure your child's safety. Maxi Cosi's ISOFIX base as well as toddler car seat come with indicators in color to help you confirm the seat is securely locked into place. However, it is important to note that these indicators do not necessarily mean a secure fit, and you should ensure that you check the seat before driving. The ISOFIX base car seat and the toddler car seat come with an anchor tether for support or a top tethers that need to be connected to the rear door anchorage points of the vehicle to complete the installation.
The Maxi-Cosi Peri 360deg Rotating Infant Car Seat is a excellent choice for parents looking to minimize back strain while getting their child in and out of the car. The seat can be rotated with just one hand and can also be turned in a forward-facing direction to allow you to reach your child's head. It is also the lightest-weight car seat for infants, making it easier to transport and carry.
Another aspect that makes this seat stand apart from other seats is its anti-rebound bar, which helps to reduce rotation and movement during the event of a crash. It also helps distribute the force of the collision across the body of the car. The deep cradle and foam that absorbs energy from the seat protects your child from side-impact collisions.
The easy-to-read indicators for installation make it one of the most simple convertible car seats that you can install in the majority of cars. However, its mediocre swing mechanism (which is difficult to operate using one hand) and sweaty fabric that left our tiniest testers feeling hot caused it to fall just short of the top spot in our test.
The car seat is compatible with a stroller, and comes with a set of stroller adapters. It's compatible with a wide range of strollers and it includes release buttons that let you easily transfer the car seat from your vehicle to the stroller without disturbing your child. It's also easy to assemble, disassemble and machine washable.
Safety
Like other European car seats, this one comes in two pieces - an base and a shell. The shell of this seat clips into place, unlike some rotating car seats, where the shell slides on a track over the base. This means less confusion for parents, but it can also mean that the seat is more difficult to install.
The seat itself is simple to use, with an easy-to-use swivel mechanism that can be operated by one hand to help your child get in and out of the car, built-in levels to help with proper vehicle belt tension, as well as harness straps with tandem tension (which helps prevent the buckle from being pulled up onto the belly of your baby) and a quick release. This seat has five recline positions in rear-facing position, and a headrest that has a built-in slide-out lever that helps you take your child out of a front-facing car seat.
In our crash tests the seat performed well. It scored four-out-of-five stars in the side impact test and four-out-of-five stars in the frontal collision test. This is due to its sturdy structure and the padding around it. Its fabric is soft and it hides the hard plastic seat frame well.
It is a little heavier than other convertible seats. This can be a problem when you are a parent living in an urban area and you need to fit three seats on the back seat. It's also not able to fit into the trunks of all cars due to its wide width.
The LATCH anchors are situated under the sides of the shell near the bend in the seat and the tether clip is on the back of the base. The anchors with LATCH can be more user-friendly, but it might take a while to make them secure enough. The tether is not easily accessible, but it is able to be clipped to the anchor points behind your seat so you won't be able to remove it in the event of a crash.
Price
The car seat is rotated not only around the seat but also at the base. This allows for easier access to get the baby in and out and reduces back strain on parents. It is easy to buckle with soft locks on the base that are easy to release. It also comes with a built-in level to aid in ensuring that the seat is installed correctly in your car. The harness straps are tensioned tandem making it easier for parents to ensure their child's safety. It is a top ADAC rating and is suitable for children from newborns to early teens.
The only drawback to this seat is that it only swivels when the child is facing rearwards up to 40 pounds. After that, you'll need to switch the seat to forward-facing mode and the swivel function is no longer available. It is also not the lightest seats on the market. This one weighs close to 20 pounds, and isn't the easiest to transport between vehicles or homes.
Graco Turn2Me is another option. It combines the 360 degree rotation of a swivel chair with the convenience and convenience of convertible. It's a bit more expensive than other convertibles, but it comes with a number of great features that make it worth the extra cost. TensionFix is one of the features that solves the most common issue with installation by providing a tension-sensitive indicator that changes from a red to green color. The seat is equipped with an in vehicle belt lock-off arm and an easy release harness that can be operated with just one hand.
Like the Pria the seat also features 360-degree rotation, which saves you back strain when buckling your child into and out of the seat. The headrest is available in 14 different heights that can be adjusted to meet your child's growth, and there are five different positions for the front-facing and rear-facing harness positions. It also comes with a magnetic buckle holder that keeps the buckles out your way as you put your child in or out. It also comes with two dishwasher-safe, machine-washable cup holders. It also comes with an infant insert you can use until your child's shoulders are at the lower limit of the seat.
