maxi cosi pebble plus car seat Cosi Turn2Me Review

The Graco Turn2Me is a budget-friendly car seat that also becomes a high-seat booster. It has a quick and easy installation, back-saving rotating design, one-hand rotation, and harness holders built-in.

It's also airline-approved, and has a unique TensionFix red-to-green tension sensitive indicator that fixes the problem 7 out of 10 parents experience with loose belt tension in their vehicles.

Features

This car seat is ideal for those who want to rotate their infant car seats but don't require a base with a rotating mechanism. It also has some additional features that make it a good choice for parents who drive small cars or frequently travel. It comes with a built-in headrest and the cup holder can be adjusted to fit your child's growing. It can be used either forward-facing or rear-facing. It also features a one-handed rotating feature that makes it easy to get your child in and out of the seat.

The i-Spin Safe is a single-piece product with no separate base. It is installed using Isofix using the standard method of color-coding. Our reviewer found that the soft locks helped keep the seat steady when you were buckling or unbuckling your child. Additionally, the swivel feature was simple and quick to operate.

It can be used as a forward or rear-facing seat and is compatible with maxi cosi cabriofix i size car seat essential black cosi kore i size car seat [Suggested Browsing] Cosi's new slide-out base. It comes with a high ADAC rating, as well as various features that include "Guard Surround" safety panels as well as a magnetic strap holder that keeps straps out the way, as well as 19 adjustment positions for the headrest and the harness. It is designed to withstand collisions up to 25mph and is iSize compliant.

The seat is large and heavy, making it difficult to move it between vehicles. The seat isn't as narrow as other seats and has only five height settings. This could limit your child's growth. Its cup holders are also tiny, and our reviewer found that they only held regular-sized drinks, which isn't really the purpose of having a built-in holder in the first place.

Another major issue with this seat is that there is no storage space for the LATCH connectors. You'll have to remove the seats from your vehicle to access the connectors. They'll be required to store them in the anti-rebound or belt path, which is less efficient than other seats that allow you to store the connectors on either side of the seat.

Installation

The car seat is among the most important items you can purchase for your cdisturbance to your child. It's also easy to put together and disassemble, and is machine washable.

Safety

The seat is comprised of two pieces that are a base and a shell. Contrary to some car seats that rotate that slide the shell onto a track that is on top of the base for installation, this seat's shell attaches to the base and clips into place. This means less fumbling by parents, but it could also mean the seat is more difficult to install.

The seat is simple to use. It comes with a one-handed pivot to get your child into and out of the vehicle and has built-in levels to help by ensuring proper belt tension, and a harness system with tandem tension. This prevents the buckle being pulled up onto the stomach of your infant. The seat features five recline positions in rear-facing mode, and an adjustable headrest with a slide-out lever that helps you get your child out of the front-facing car seat.

This seat performed well in our crash tests. It scored four out of five stars in the side impact test and a four-out of five stars in the frontal collision test. This test demonstrates that it has a solid structure and is surrounded by plenty of protective padding. Its fabric is soft, and hides its tough plastic seat frame.

One disadvantage is that it weighs a bit more than other convertible seats. This could be an issue for parents with children who have to accommodate three seats in the back seat, or who plan to take advantage of taxi and Uber services. It's also too large to fit in some car trunks.

The LATCH anchors can be located underneath the shell on both sides just near the bend of the seat. The tether clip can be found on the back of the base. The LATCH anchors are easier to use, but it might take a while to get them snug enough. The tether strap isn't readily accessible but it clips to the anchor points behind your seat. This means it is impossible to remove it in the event of a crash.

Price

Unlike other rotating car seats that only rotate at the seat, this one rotates at the base. This makes getting the baby out and in easier and reduces back strain on parents. The base has soft locks that are easy-to-release. It is simple for parents to buckle. The seat is built-in level that allows you to ensure the seat is properly installed in your vehicle. The harness straps have tandem tension, which helps parents secure their child. It is a top ADAC rating and fits infants through early teens.

The only drawback to this seat is that it can only swivel when the child is facing rearwards, up to 40 pounds. Swivel functions are not available afterward. You must switch the seat to forward-facing. It's not the lightest chair out there. This seat weighs almost 20 lbs and is not the easiest to transport between homes or vehicles.

Another option is the Graco Turn2Me, which combines the 360-degree swing of a swivel along with the convenience of the convertible seat. It's a little more expensive than other convertibles, however it has many excellent features that are worth the extra cash. TensionFix is one of the features that resolves the most common issue when installing by providing a tension-sensitive indicator that changes from the color of green and red. The seat also comes with a built-in vehicle belt lock off arm, and an easy-release harness that can be operated with only one hand.

The seat, just like the Pria seat, features a 360 degree rotation to reduce back strain while buckling and unbuckling your child. The headrest can be adjusted to 14 different heights, depending on your child's development. There are five positions for both the rear-facing and forward-facing harness. It also features an adjustable buckle holder with a magnetic buckle that keeps the buckles out your way when you are putting your child in or take them out.
