Safety 1st

Turn and Go 360 DLX All-in-One Convertible Car Seat

I went through 4 car seats where the padding flattened so quick and was extremely uncomfortable for my 1 year old but as soon as I put him in this turn and go he fell asleep in 5 minutes, the straps were easy to adjust and the car seat was super easy to install.

I bought this car seat ruffly 2 years ago the car seat would not turn I dealt with it for the longest time but then it got to where I couldn’t get the seat to lift to remove it from my car I called the warranty department they sent me another one and here I am again except now it will rotate without even hitting the rotate button witch I feel is not safe! At this point I’m looking at just purchasing a different car seat. I love the look and the comfortable and easy removable cover but the safety part is more Important that looks.

Received this car seat on my registry. While it is very convenient and aesthetically pleasing, i believe it is unsafe or manufactured wrong. When locked, it will continue to turn, even without squeezing the release button. I don’t think this is safe, and i really hope it isn’t a problem for others. It was purchased on Amazon and sent to my house, and i have no way of starting a refund for defective product now. Safety first please help. Is this normal?

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try out and review the Safety 1st Turn and Go 360 AIO Car Seat. I have a lot of mixed feelings about this car seat and I’ll tell you all about it.

I received this car seat a few days before my daughter’s 2nd birthday (and turnaround to forward facing) and about a week and a half before a long cross country road trip so basically it was the best timing ever to try out a new car seat.

Setting up and installing the seat took a while for me. It works differently than other car seats that I’ve used because of the turning feature and it too me a bit to understand how to get it right. Off the bat I didn’t love how wiggly the seat still felt after it was properly installed. The base was very solid but the place where the seat attaches is secure but wobbly because of the turning function.

My daughter started off backward facing. I loved the ability to pivot the seat to face me to get her in and out. Makes it SO much easier. I imagine this would be even more helpful the younger the baby is since my toddler basically springs herself out of her seat as soon as it’s up clipped these days. On her 2nd birthday it was a fun little moment to simply turn her the other way to face forward rather than having to completely uninstall and reinstall the seat.

Other features I love:
-Cup holders are removable and also very large. Other car seats have a hard time fitting our Camelbak water bottles but these are super large and cups come easily out. I like that I can take the entire cup holder out to wash it.
-Seat is big and comfy. She stayed very happy in the car for 14 hour drive across the country without that many breaks.
-During our trip to visit family we had a moment where I needed to pick up our cousins’ babies. One was rear facing still but it was breeze to simply turn the seat around rather than having to uninstall and reinstall the seat twice.

Things I don’t like so much:
-the straps are kind of hard to adjust. The button between the knees is tough to push and for some reason it takes some real muscle to loosen and tighten the belt.
-the shoulder pads are LONG and not removable. I think they are a little too long, which makes ensuring that the chest clip is up high enough a little challenging. Hard to imagine getting it in the right spot on a newborn.
-this car seat is BIG and HEAVY.

The Safety 1st Turn and Go 360 AIO Car Seat impresses with its sleek and modern design. The aesthetic appeal is undeniable, with a range of color options that can seamlessly blend into any car interior. The materials used feel premium, ensuring both durability and comfort. The overall build is robust yet stylish, making it a standout choice among all-in-one car seats.

The 360-degree spin feature is a game-changer. This innovation significantly eases the process of loading and unloading the child. No more awkward angles or straining to get your child in and out of the car seat. The rotation is smooth and effortless, allowing parents to turn the seat towards the door for easy access. This feature alone makes the Turn and Go 360 a top contender in the all-in-one car seat market.

Installing the Turn and Go 360 is straightforward, thanks to the clear instructions and intuitive design. Adjusting the car seat as your child grows is equally hassle-free. The harness and headrest can be modified with one hand, without the need to rethread the straps. This convenience is particularly beneficial for busy parents who need to make quick adjustments.

The feature that stands out the most is undoubtedly the 360-degree rotation. It adds a level of convenience and practicality that is hard to beat. Additionally, the seat’s high safety ratings provide peace of mind, knowing that your child is well-protected. The plush padding and breathable fabric ensure a comfortable ride for your little one, even on longer journeys. The fact that this car seat can grow with your child from infancy to the booster stage adds tremendous value, making it a worthwhile investment.

My reason for dropping the review to 4 stars is my child seemed to be a little uncomfortable in the car seat at first. It lays back a bit but I think she is now used to it. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test this product!

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this convertible car seat! Overall, I like the look of the car seat. I like how the infant inserts and the headrest have the coloring. That makes it so you don’t lose all the color when you remove the infant inserts. The thing I love the most is the 360 spin design! It makes getting my daughter in and out of the car so much easier! I don’t have to worry about reaching over her to get straps on and get her buckled, especially being in my last few weeks of pregnancy. One thing I did not like is where the handle is to turn the car seat. With it being on the bottom, it can be hard to reach when the car seat is reclined or close to the seat in front of it. One thing I had to get used to is that there was nothing to stop the car seat from spinning past 90° at a time. That made it so I spun the seat farther than intended, but it was a quick turn back to where I needed it to be. I do like that you can spin the seat in both directions, as when it is raining, I could spin the seat to face the inside of the car and get my daughter strapped in while staying dry!

It was very easy to install the Safety 1st Turn and Go 360 car seat! It took about 10 minutes including reading the directions to get the car seat fully installed and ready to go! The hardest part was figuring out what lever changed the recline position. I really like that the cup holders are removable and when they are removed it doesn’t look strange or like a piece is missing. But mostly, I love that this car seat can grow with my daughter and will go all the way to a booster seat!

I initially thought that I would be using this car seat for our newborn, but we have found it more useful for our 2 yo toddler. Since this is not part of a travel system, its not as convenient for infants. It has however come in handy for our 2 yo son. I was struggling to get him into a rear-facing car seat in my sedan (big kid, short car), but this car seat has been a huge help to load him into the car. I followed the youtube tutorial for installation which was helpful and straightforward. Its aesthetically pleasing and so far the material seems great. I did however think that it’s a little narrow if you add the cup holders. I received this convertible car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I was given this convertible car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I really wanted to like this car seat - we have another brand's swivel carseat and I LOVE it for my son, so I was excited to potentially have a second one for my daughter. The aesthetics of the car seat are nice (grey and black fabric with purple accents, cushiony material) but I am not feeling great about either the difficulty I had installing it or the lack of a consistently tight fit in the car. For some context, we have two kids under the age of 5 and between our two cars and a grandparent car we have 6 car seats that I am constantly moving, adjusting, etc. I take car seat safety VERY seriously and read all manuals thoroughly and regularly. I was installing this car seat rear-facing (my daughter is almost 2) with seat belt installation. As soon as I prepped to put it in the car I realized that unlike our other swivel car seat the seat part doesn't pop all the way off the base for installation but rather kind of tips back (one side disconnects) so that you can route the seat belt through the base. Our car is smaller (I'd call it a hatchback) and we have a car seat for my son on the other side of the back seat, which meant that when I "flipped" the seat part backwards it bumped into the other seat/ didn't fully clear the base without a lot of manuvering. I was able to install the base very tightly using the seatbelt lockoff and the top teather, but when I flipped the seat back into place and rotated the seat to rear facing the install already felt loose to me. I tried the install again, and it's a little bit better, but the base still moves more than I'd like it to. I do appreciate the multiple recline positions (in a small car especially) and noticed that the infant inserts (I took them out because my youngest is almost 2) seemed very comfortable and supportive. Overall, though, I don't think I can recommend this car seat as I feel there are other rotating ones on the market that are much better in my opinion.

I was able to receive this car seat through Stellar Product Testing Panel and I’ve loved testing it out.
Right out of the box I could see how comfortable it would be for my little one. Lots of great support for itty bitty babies but easy to use as they get older.
The main feature that caught my attention was the 360 aspect of the car seat. Not just for buckling and unbuckling kiddo, but also for letting my other older kids get in and out of the van easier. As you can see in the pictures the seat would block the way for passengers moving to the back, but with the turn/swivel feature it helps them get by easy! That part is great because I have two rear/facing kids right now and two that need to move into the back seat forward facing.
It was an easy install with great instructions in the manual, on the seat itself and a QR code to even scan and watch how to install as well.
I look forward to using it more and I can tell my baby likes it too.

I was excited to receive the Safety 1st Turn and Go 360 AIO Car Seat from Stellar Product Testing Panel! As there are only a handful of rotating car seats on the market, I’ve had my eye on them all for some time looking for the perfect one for my family.

I’ve tried a couple of these rotating seats and they all have pros and cons. A few items that are important to note:

Cons: Difficult to install and once installed properly it still seemed “loose”; the button to turn the car seat is located on the front of the car seat so in back facing mode I had to lean into the car to turn the seat; I found turning the seat with a toddler in one hand a bit difficult; the belt was a bit flimsy and hard to buckle; and the fabric seemed sweaty and sticky for hot summer days.

Pros: Rotating feature! It was easy to pop the toddler into the car seat and turn into the correct position once it was already turned outward; once installed the seat can be rotated forward and backward (360!) so there’s no need to reinstall when the child is forward facing; the seat also converts into a booster so the seat can stay with the child through 100 pounds; there are many color choices and mostly importantly, the seat has a great price point for the rotating seat market.

Thanks again, Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to review your lovely rotating car seat!
