Use Carbon::parse('2016-12-20 10:26');, it will return a Carbon object.

Based on carbon doc, you can convert date string to carbon object like:
1) Carbon::parse('1975-05-21 22:23:00.123456')
2) Carbon::create($year, $month, $day, $hour, $minute, $second, $tz);

You can use parse():

Carbon::parse($dateString);

Or you can use $dates property to create Carbon instance automatically for the column:

protected $dates = ['custom_date'];

Here is the official way from the Carbon docs:

Finally, if you find yourself inheriting a \DateTime instance from another library, fear not! You can create a Carbon instance via a friendly instance() function.

$dt = new \DateTime('first day of January 2008');   // <== instance from another API
$carbon = Carbon::instance($dt);
echo get_class($carbon);                               // 'Carbon\Carbon'
echo $carbon->toDateTimeString();                      // 2008-01-01 00:00:00
