 Combining safety, comfort, and convenience, this seat is designed to make your life easier and just might be the perfect match for your growing family. 

180° Rotation 

THE SPECS: 

• Rear-Facing: Suitable for children 4 lbs to 50 lbs.

One of the standout features of the City Turn is its incredible flexibility.  

As your child grows, the seat adapts, supporting both rear and forward-facing positions. Boasting a clever rotating mechanism, this seat swivels 180 degrees with just one hand while in rear-facing mode. This patented rotation brings your child 10 inches closer to you, easing the strain on your back during those countless ins and outs. 

We love that this seat can be used from birth (4 lbs) all the way to 40 lbs in rear-facing mode — by far the safest position for your little one. 

Effortless Installation 

Installing a car seat can often be a parent’s worst nightmare — but not with the City Turn!  

Thanks to the RAPIDLOCK base belt-tensioning technology and integrated push-button LATCH, installation is a breeze — secure and ready in mere seconds. The rotation feature grants clear access to the belt path, ensuring the easiest installation yet. With coloured belt paths and dual bubble level indicators, you're guided to achieve a proper and level install every time. Bid farewell to installation frustration and hello to more time cherishing moments with your little one! 

Child Comfort 

Every parent wants their child to be snug and happy during car rides, and the City Turn doesn’t disappoint. Here’s a breakdown of its comfort-centric features: 
 

Cooling Fabrics: Soft, lightweight fabrics with COOLMAX moisture-wicking material keep your child cool and comfortable, resembling the feel of high-quality workout wear. 

Adjustable Comfort: A 10-position headrest and 5-position recline ensure a comfy ride at any age. The no-rethread harness allows for easy adjustments without removal. Of note, one of the only critiques we have about this car seat is the placement of its recline feature, which is located at the rear base of the seat. In forward-facing mode, you’ll have to set your recline level before you finish installing the seat, as this feature becomes inaccessible once installed. 

Premium Padding & Infant Insert: Extra cushioning and a removable infant insert cater to your little one’s comfort and provide ergonomic support from infancy onwards. 

Buckle Covers: Added for extra comfort and support, these covers protect your child’s sensitive skin and curious fingers! 

Easy Clean-Up: Hit a bump and got some spills on the seat? No problem! The seat’s fabric is spot-cleanable, making maintenance a breeze. 

Dishwasher-Safe Cup Holder: Simplifying your life is a cup holder that's easy to clean and always ready for your child’s favourite drink! Of note, this holder is located on your child’s left side and is slightly bulky. You may want to plan ahead as to which side of the car you’ll be installing the seat. 

Ride Protection 

When it comes to your child's safety, Baby Jogger leaves no stone unturned.  

The City Turn is engineered and meticulously tested to meet the TRUE Test Plus safety standards, ensuring it's equipped to protect your little one in a variety of collision scenarios including rollovers, side, front, and rear impacts.  

The car seat's robustness is further enhanced by its steel-reinforced frame, offering unmatched strength and durability. Additionally, it incorporates EPP energy-absorbing foam, which plays a crucial role in managing the impact energy, thus providing another layer of protection.

One of the most reassuring features for parents is the seat's audible click. This sound confirms that the seat is securely locked in rear-facing mode, giving you the peace of mind that your child is safely secured before you commence driving. 

A Real Headturner 

The City Turn Rotating Convertible Car Seat is more than just an ordinary seat for your little one— it's an investment in their safety and your peace of mind. 

With its innovative rotation feature, effortless installation, superior comfort, and rigorous safety standards, this convertible car seat from Baby Jogger is a top choice for parents looking for a dependable grow-with-me seat. Whether you're running quick errands, headed to hockey practice, or embarking on long family trips, the City Turn is set to become an essential part of your family!
