When it comes to shopping for car seats, I always feel overwhelmed trying to find something that has all the bells and whistles. I want something that is convenient to use and install, looks great, and keeps my babies comfortable while still being held to the highest of safety standards. The Baby Jogger City Turn checks off all the boxes while also providing a unique rotating feature that isn’t found in many other car seats! The City Turn can rotate 180 degrees, making it quick and easy to get your baby in and out of the car. This makes running errands more convenient, while also saving your back.
The City Turn is a convertible car seat, meaning it can be used rear facing (4-50 pounds) as well as forward facing (22-65 pounds). This allows you to use the car seat from birth through the duration of their childhood so that you only have to buy one car seat. The City Turn features 10 headrest positions and 5 recline positions and comes with removable infant inserts and buckle covers. The seat is made of a moisture wicking material, preventing your child from overheating on hot summer days. The material is also machine washable and easy to clean. Made of energy absorbent foam and reinforced with steel, the City Turn meets all True test plus safety standards so that you don't have to worry about keeping your baby safe in the event of an accident.
There are several ways to install your City Turn depending on your child’s weight and age. Always remember to put babies and toddlers rear facing for maximum safety.
