I can't recommend this car enough! My daughter (1yo) and I were recently involved in a collision causing my truck to roll over when someone tried to cross in front of me from a side street. My daughter came away from the accident without a single injury. My wife and I are so thankful and will be replacing with the same model.

We took advantage of a great sale on this car seat and bought one for both cars to help make it easier to get our daughter in and out of the car (especially with me being pregnant at the moment). While it does have some great features and the rotation is helpful, the amount of space it requires is a major downfall. My husband drives a Tesla Model Y and while the passenger seat has to be further forward than preferred, it is doable. I, however, drive a Grand Cherokee L (3 rows), so I assumed I would have plenty of space, but I was terribly wrong. I am 5' 2", and am not able to have it behind the driver seat. We have it behind the passenger seat, and even with my husband being average height, he is not able to sit in the front seat with how far forward we have to have the seat. If there was a way to be able to adjust the tilt, that would help some, but that is not a feature available on this seat. Once she is at the weight when we can turn her forward facing, I'm sure it will be better, but we are still a long way away from that. I will say that install is easy and she seems very comfortable sitting in this seat, I just have extreme buyers guilt and get angry every time I see how far forward my front seat it. But I am assuming since I took it out of the box, I can no longer return it. We have a long car ride coming up, but will need to go back to the convertible car seat we were using previously, in order for us to all be able to fit. All that to say, if you are looking at getting this car seat, I highly suggest you triple measure that you have enough room for it to still work for your family's needs. From my extensive research prior to buying (obviously not quite enough), it seems like some other brand's rotating car seats don't require as much space, and I wish I would have gone that route. Also want to add that we don't have the zipper version of this seat, but I would highly suggest that version if within your budget. The first time I had to take the cover off the wash (which of course was right after getting it), it was THE WORST experience trying to get it back on using the tabs that hold it in place.

I purchased this car seat the end of January not even 6 months ago. The magnetic chest clip has already broken. It will not stay clipped anymore. Unfortunately all they decided to do was send me a new chest clip that is impossible to replace and will more than likely break again. After watching videos and reading reviews about this car seat this has happened multiple times. This is not the first car set I have purchased from them but this is definitely the most disappointing one. They are not worried about the safety of your child if they keep making the same piece that is constantly breaking.

Great!

I loved the car seat, however the magnetic chest clip is no longer working. It keeps getting stuck randomly and I can’t close it, so I need to replace the seat because virtually if we have a car accident, without that the car seat is virtually unsafe.

This car seat is great but the chest clip breaks too often. First chest clip broke within 9 months and we were traveling. This car seat is not safe without the chest clip! Had to get a replacement and now 6 months later the replacement keeps getting stuck. He does not eat or drink in this car seat so there is no reason for this clip to be sticking like this. Chico needs a redesign of this clip ASAP.

I got this carseat a few months ago and it has been a great upgrade! I am a short mom, and it makes getting my toddler into the car that much easier with the rotating seat feature. The magnetic chest clip was a nice new feature as well! It comes together with one hand quickly, when toddler is squirming around. No pinching baby or fingers! I would purchase another one of these seats over and over! Thank you Chicco.

We love this carseat! We've been using it for about 6 months now (transitioned when my son was about 11 months old) and it's been everything I've wanted and more in a carseat. Turns so easy and my son seems very comfortable in it and can nap easily on longer drives. I was worried it would be too big for the passenger to ride comfortably but that's not an issue at all. I drive a GMC Terrain and it fits very well. We got the non-rotating Chico car seat for my husbands car an I wish we would have just spent the extra amount to get 2 of these. Highly recommend!

I really liked this car seat but it is not safe. The magnet in the chest clip has not been holding which is super dangerous. After a year of use it's really hard to get it to stay in locked. I am not sure it would hold up in an accident when is very scary.

Easy to rotate. Installed in our small car.
