Graco - Nautilus SnugLock Grow 3-in-1 Forward-Facing Harness Booster Car Seat

We have the Grayco Nautilis and it's very easy to strap in and out. I also found that the one you have was really hard to get tight and install. The Nautilus is really lightweight too, so it's easy to switch.

My lil guy started in August in a car seat but is in a booster now. I have a Graco one that is a 3 in 1 (car seat, high back booster and booster). https://www.gracobaby.com/car-seats/booster-car-seats/harness-booster-car-seats/nautilus-snuglock-grow-3-in-1-forward-facing-harness-booster/SAP_2164347.html

For the diaper bag I just got a cooler back pack haha. It’s big enough that it fits everything I need especially for 2+ kids. It’s been very durable. Stroller it depends on your needs. I just got a travel system on sale. Car seat I got a Graco that grows with the kid. The one that I picked didn’t weigh much so that was a plus. For car we got a mini van and I love it! It’s so spacious and it’s so easy to put the kids on there without much struggle. Especially when space is limited (cars are parked next us). I think it’s good if you’re planning on having more than 1 kid. But even with one I still would’ve bought it.

I have the graco 3-1-was the lowest cost from a brand I trusted, and all the way down to infant sizes when we needed a car seat for our second vehicle and didn't have time to wait for a second base to arrive from Amazon. The rotating is definitely nice I'm sure, but I would view it as more of an accessibility feature. Definitely not a requirement at all for the average person. Could likely make a massive difference for individuals with mobility disabilities. On my end I don't think it would change much. Exit to add: Make sure if you get a rotating seat is locked into place when driving even if your child is not in it! Huge safety thing!

We put a Grayco 3 in 1 in the third row forward facing and use the seatbelt. We fold down the other two 3rd row seats and that’s where our dog sits in his car kennel when we go on trips. We have a rear facing infant and rear facing toddler in the middle captains seats. The 3rd row kid buckles herself and I just reach back to tighten. Works for us.

My kindergartner has a convertible car seat. She is in the booster configuration, which is a high back booster. We transitioned her a little earlier than we intended because the 5point was starting to trigger her car sickness more as she grew. Our second car, we have Graco booster for the rare times both kids have to be different places.
