Great Car Seat!
I’m not sure why this car seat is flagged as frequently returned because that is not my experience. We purchased this car seat well over a year ago and love it. It’s is very comfortable and roomy for our son. He is now 2 years old and fits so great in it. The rotation feature always works well and has been so convenient, especially now that I’m pregnant again and don’t have to climb in the car to get him in and out. The only downside is probably the size/heaviness, as it is a larger/bulkier car seat. Besides moving it from our car to my husbands, the size has never been a concern for us. We even took it on an airplane and had no issue traveling with it. I choose this car seat initially because it looked comfortable for our son and the rotation was convenient for all of us. It has not disappointed us.

Great quality, easy to use!
Recently bought this for our one year old after weeks of researching rotating convertible car seats, and I’m glad we chose this! Prior to this, we used a Nuna infant carrier. We chose this over staying with Nuna due to their comparable model only having a 40lb max. It was fairly easy to install. I wanted a car seat that can turn because I’m not very tall and I drive a Tahoe so it’s already a struggle to get our son in the car. He’s also a sweaty lil one so I like that it has the cooling material. Overall it feels high quality, comfortable, sturdy, safe, and fits well in the back captain seat. It wasn’t too heavy to pick up to install it. He also seems to love it and doesn’t throw fits getting in the car seat anymore. The turning feature is a life saver and game changer! It turns very smooth. The only con I can think of is the lack of transition to a booster but I’ll cross that bridge when we get there. We got this one sale for 25% off, but even if we hadn’t I think it’s still worth the price.

Most Convenient Car Seat
I love our Baby Jogger City Turn car seat. First and foremost, it feels very secure in our car and gives me peace of mind that it is keeping our children safe, my my favorite feature undoubtedly is the rotation. It allows me to easily get my wiggly kids in and out of the car. The chair itself feels luxe and comfy. The built-in cupholder is an added bonus. We bought two for my first child, and have already bought two more for my second. Cannot recommend enough!

Love this seat!!
So far I love this seat for my 9 month old. We had the Nuna Pipa before and I LOVED that car seat so much so I was worried this one wouldn’t meet my expectations for having nice fabric and all the nice features. It’s easy to install, easy to turn, and the fabric has been great! I do like how the fabric doesn’t seem to my baby as sweaty as the Nuna. We live in GA and it’s still 80+ degrees and so far it seems much better than the Nuna fabric! It’s also very roomy for him in the seat. I have 2 things I don’t love but I can live with – it is wider so if you have a smaller backseat and would need 3 seats across this would probably not be the best. I have an Acura MDX and have this seat and a Britax booster on the other side and sometimes I have to sit in the middle and I can barely fit and I’m a small person. Other con is I really wish this had the little slots like my Nuna had to hold the straps out of the way when you’re putting baby in. Other than that I love this seat and im only reviewing to help other people who read reviews before buying something like I always do!

Over-priced but the only one of its kind
The chair fabric feels great, very smooth, light, feels almost like merino wool. As well, the position of the chair when rotated is high and well positioned, definitely making it easier to take your baby out or put baby in. Some complain about having to rotate chair back as a result, but the benefits of the position warrant a little care with rotating back. Plus, when I rotate back after taking baby out, I only rotate enough to close the door, not to relock at center, so when I open door to put baby back, I can just grab chair anywhere to rotate to position to put baby back in. So it’s pretty easy. The rotation is smooth and secure, and the chair doesn’t have much slack in center locked position. Chair was also very easy to install, since its high protruding base makes it easy to properly tension either the seat belt or anchor belts tightly. What we didn’t like were the cheap light plastic of the middle buckle, the light duty groin buckle, and the impossibility of fixing the fabric tab covering the groin buckle in place. Also it’s impossible to keep the belt off to the sides when trying to insert baby, so you will always be pulling and looking for the belt behind baby. Last, lack of swivel adjustment unless you remove the seat. Though it has 3 angles, only 1 was usable for 15 month baby. The others would give baby zero leg room. So all in all, as a car seat, the lackluster hardware for the price is unfortunate. (Our Uppababy Mesa and a Cybex Sirona S both had superior buckles, groin buckle fabric tab, and a way to hold the belt open when placing/removing baby.) However, the ease of secure install and the way the seat rotates out makes the seat truly more convenient to use as I can stand erect outside the door to put baby in and out. (The Cybex Sirona S, for comparison with similar rotating seats, still require you to bow your head to fit inside car to seat/unseat baby.) If the hardware were as well designed and built as similarly priced car seats, and it would be so simple to do so, this City Turn would be the top top pick. It’s compact, light weight, easy to install, easy to rotate, actually convenient to use. We just wished it had the hardware as the Sirona S. (But no forget the Sirona, that’s a disaster in design, not worth your time even trying it.)
