Turn-a-tot carseat?

[aggero]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these car seats? I am looking for a convertible car seat for my first and spotted this revolving car seat and my local baby shop.

Any other recommendations/suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers :thumbsup:

Yes I used it for DD and DS. You can only use the turning part though when it is in the rear facing position. It was great though for getting bubs in and out of the car (especially if you have a bad back or have had a c/s). It is a very comfortable seat too (well looks it anyway:) ) It reclines back (when facing forwards) so is good for bubs to sleep in.

i have one & love it - i got it mainly cause i had a two door car when DD was little & this was great to get her in & out of the car - i also like that it has an added headrest as DD is tall - it gets a huge :thumbsup: from me

I heard they are really hard to get in and out of the car (the seat that is not the child from the seat) - is this true?

Because they are bulky they seem to be harder to get in and out BUT once they are in I found that it didn't move around as mush as the one I have now does.
The only "problem" that I see with them is when they are forward facing they don't sit completely upright, they still recline a little .... my next door neighbours daughter loved this Bonus but my kids hated it so it depends on the child .... but that wasn't until they turned 2.

I have the car seat too and absolutely love it!

I have one too but am neither here nor there about it. Actually I've put it in DH's car and put the 'spare' carseat that we got 2nd hand off my cousin in my car as it sits more upright.
I am considering getting a new carseat but DH would want to kill me(I've re-bought heaps of things since having dd!)
A bonus for us though is that our dd is and was always quite small so fitted a lot better in the turn-a-tot than in our other carseat, even with the newborn inserts.
