I am planning to travel on Turkish Airlines with my 2 y.o. and just found out that TA's website states that car seats are not be used for babies more than 2 y.o. I read that some parents did manage to get in their car seats, so how strict is the company with regards to following its regulations? As I cannot think of alternatives to car seat to be used on an overnight flight it would be really helpful if you would suggest a way to bring in the car seat... Thank you!

There's really no way to know "how strict" they'll be; you could get a flight attendant who would allow you to use it; you could be forced to check the seat- leaving the child without a safe option on the aircraft and giving your seat an unknown history once you retrieve it at your destination.

There was a discussion of Turkish airlines a while back. It sounds like they seldom see carseats and are totally inconsistent in their approach, but that ultimately you may be able to use the carseat if you are persistent.

If another airline were available, I'd consider it, but I know for some destinations Turkish is the only game in town or nearly so.
