![]() I started drafting this review in my head before I actually sat down to write it, and distracted myself with witty titles, usually involving songs with ‘spin, revolve, or around’ in them, and of course that sent me down the rabbit hole and I listened to all sorts of songs I didn’t know existed. I do not have any regrets with my purchase and would definitely buy a rotating seat if I had to make this decision again.I had the chance to use the Revolve 360 Rotational All-in-One car seat for a few weeks when I had a friend and her young child visit…and the short version of this review is that I love it. Evenflo Revolve360 is also now available with extended rear facing option, so if that's a feature that you are interested in it might add to the pros column for you. I only found the Evenflo seat to go on sale during Target's trade in event. The Graco Turn2Me seems to go on sale more often than the Evenflo seat (and the sale price at Buy Buy Baby is usually coupon eligible), so price may also be an influence. My inlaws ended up with the Graco Extend to fit. I looked for months at car seats for my parents and in-laws, so I kept a pretty good eye on the prices. ![]() Evenflo can be rotated in forward or rear facing, Graco can only be rotated in rear facing.Evenflo recline can be adjusted anytime, Graco needs reinstallation.Graco's chest clip is like grocery store seat belts, Evenflo is just a thumb push button - My mom has hand pain and found the Graco one to be easier.Graco rotates smoother and easier, but neither are difficult.Booster weight limit for Evenflo is 120lbs, Graco is 100lbs.Rear facing weight limit is 40lbs for both.Evenflo has the rotate handle on the top, Graco's is on the bottom of the seat.Graco has buckle holders, Evenflo doesn't.Graco has thicker straps so they twist less, Evenflo straps are easy to twist.Evenflo has to have the top tether installed at all times where Graco is only for forward facing.Evenflo is install once and done whereas Graco you have to reinstall to reverse.Graco is more compact so the front seat has a little more space.Both were very easy to install and each had a tightening mechanism for the teather/seatbelt - I found them much easier to install compared to the many stationary convertible seats that I tried out. ![]() I copied a comparison that I had written for the two seats from a few months ago, but I'm adding a few more things that I have noticed since then. I like both seats and would recommend either of them. If the rotating seats are within your price range, I definitely think that it's a feature worth getting. We have been using the Evenflo seats for 9 months, and the Graco for 6 months. My husband and I have the Evenflo Revolve360 seats in our vehicles and my parents bought the Graco Turn2Me for their car. I ended up purchasing the Clek, and so excited for the new car seat to come. No matter how convenient it is for the parents, if the baby says no then it will be an absolute pass for me. He will bend himself so hard and we can’t put him in. To the point we can’t even place him into the car seat. But whenever sitting in this car seat he cries hysterically. He was perfectly comfortable in his Chicco infant car seat. Every time he sits in it he want to get out but can’t because of the awkward curve the head rest and strap is fixed so you can’t really customize it per your baby’s actual height. Below is some of my guesses: it’s very hot, my baby can sweat easily after a half hour drive it’s very difficult to adjust the strap (at least for us) and you can tell my baby is not comfortable once buckled up the seat has a curve and my baby does not like that. However, my baby simply hated sitting in this car seat. ![]() It makes it so easy to place your baby from either side of the car.
