Infant Car Seats That Swivel

A car seat that is rotating may be the answer to your problems if you have back pain or have difficulty getting your baby seat buckled up. These seats are typically expensive.

Some of the most effective rotating car seats come with advanced safety features such as an anti-rebound bar, as well as Linear Side-impact Protection that reduce the force of collisions.

CYBEX Aton G Swivel

Swivel bases are a great option for those who travel light and wish to transfer their infant car seat from one vehicle to the next without having to remove and reinstall the base each time. The CYBEX Aton G Swivel does just that, along with thoughtful functionality and impressive ease of use for loading and unloading your child.

The unique swivel rotates in a 180-degree circle, making it easy to place your child into the seat from either the left or right side of the vehicle. This is especially helpful for babies who are a bit squirmy. CYBEX also makes it easy to install this car seat using their SafeLock belt tensioner that ensures that the seat is secure in just a few minutes.

Other standout features include a harness that is not rethread that can be adjusted with the headrest to accommodate your growing baby, Linear Side Impact Protection that reduces collision forces and an anti-rebound bar which helps to improve the seat's rotation after the event of a crash. The shell features ventilation channels that allow natural airflow, which helps keep your baby comfortable. The seat can also be washed by machine to make cleaning easy.

Another great feature is the capability to use this car seat as a transport system with select strollers. The Aton is compatible with the CYBEX Gazelle S Stroller, among others. It's not the most easy infant car seat to connect to a stroller however, because it requires pressing the button on the front of the car seat and then taking the seat away from its clip. If you think that's not enough to keep you from thinking about this seat, be aware that it isn't as impressive in its crash test results than its rivals and is more expensive. It's still a great choice for many families. / p>

Graco SnugRide Convertible Car Seat

The Graco snugRide is a great option for most families. It is a good option for families who want a mix of features, crash protection and usability. It also integrates with many strollers, which is a nice bonus. However, it does have a few issues. The seat is very tippy particularly when it is fitted with the belt at the rear. This can cause it to become loose and need to tighten over time. This isn't a security issue but it can cause a problem for parents who have. The other issue is that the crotch buckle depth can be a little bit too deep for small babies and can result in them slumping over.

The SnugRide model from Graco is a great option for the majority of babies. It can be used by children up to 35 pounds or two years old which is the usual limit for infant car seats. The seat has received excellent ratings in crash tests. This is not surprising. It is surprisingly light and has simple instructions. It also scores highly in our user-friendliness ratings, including how easy it is to install the seat adjust the headrest and harness and then place a child in the seat, secure the harness, and remove a child from the seat.

The Graco GragRide isn't as effective in other categories such as comfort and quality. The fabric is more plasticky and the padding is thinner than in other infant car seats. This is the only one of our top rated baby car seats picks that doesn't provide a head-support insert for smaller children, which is a bummer as it could help reduce the chance of injury for some babies.

Orbit Baby G5+

The G5+ infant seat is a fantastic choice for parents who value convenience and comfort. It combines cutting-edge safety technology with cutting-edge features. Its patented SmartHub Base is directly compatible with the G5+ infant car seat, removing the need for additional car adapters.

The SmartHub base can be set up quickly and safely using the StrongArm knob that is patented in less than 60 seconds. It's designed with an ergonomically-designed deep-cradle design and molded side impact protection for the best infant carrier car seat possible crash protection. The base is also light to allow for easy transportation. The base is light and comes with a full-coverage UV sunshade that can be tucked away when not in use. The seat itself is constructed from soft high-quality, breathable fabrics that are comfortable in any season or climate, and is certified safe by Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for the most secure fabric. It comes with a 5-point harness, infant head support insert and a telescoping bar that can be adjusted to the height of the parents.

When used in conjunction with when connected to the SmartHub base, the G5+ can be rotated and reclined in a fluid movement. It is either front-facing or rear-facing and can be utilized in an upright or fully reclined position. The seat comes with premium push button lower anchors which are easily accessible and can be stored in a convenient location. The base has a built-in indicator that informs parents when the anchors have been properly tightened.

With the purchase of the Orbit Baby Helix+ double stroller attachment, the G5+ can be converted into double-strollers. It can hold up to two G5+ Stroller Seats, or a combination of the G5+ and the Nuna DEMI Next Sibling Car Seat.

Maxi-Cosi Peri

If your family enjoys traveling or you own an SUV then a movable infant car seat could be the right choice for you. These seats make it easy to load and unload infants from the car, especially when baby is cranky or wiggly. They can also be useful if you have back pain or a hard time reaching the back seat using just one arm. They also rotate to allow easy access to the child's seat, which makes it easier to take off and buckle the child.

Maxi-Cosi Peri is equipped with an impressive set of safety features, including G-Cell technology to prevent side impacts and a soft-from-birth insert and a handle that rotates 360 degrees around the base. The seat is with a rear-facing design from birth. It comes with five recline positions to provide an optimal fit, and the headrest can be adjusted at the same time as the harness. The base is equipped with a stability leg and an anti-rebound bar that provides added security.

Parents will appreciate the QuikFit 6-position harness that reduces the need to rethread as baby grows. The headrest and harness can be easily adjusted at the same time with one hand and a TensionFix red-to-green tension indicator on the base lets you know when the belt is properly tightened. The chest clip has Sensorsafe, a feature that sends an alert to a mobile device in the event that a child unbuckles the belt in the event of a crash.

Like the Cybex Aton G Swivel, the Peri has an obvious belt path within the shell that allows for baseless installation, without the base (taxi mode). This feature provides parents with more flexibility when traveling. The seat can be connected to selected Maxi-Cosi travel systems and is stroller compatible.

NUNA REVV

Nuna's rotating convertible car seat is a great way to make it easy for you to get your child in and out of your vehicle. It can rotate to the door of the vehicle, making it easy to get in and out without needing to bend your back. It grows with your child's age, from newborn car seat insert up to 40 pounds. It rotates 360deg from a single location for forward-facing and rear-facing riding, and its steel technology, Aeroflex side impacts protection pods, EPP energy absorbing flannel and Aeroflex side impact protector pods take security to a whole new level. Ventilation panels within the shell keep your baby comfortable, and a 10-position recline that is bubble-free ensures an ensconced fit without pinch points.

This seat has above-average accessibility due to its five-point harness that is not rethread and magnetic buckle holders that keep straps out of the way when buckle buckling. The crotch belt has two height settings and ten strap length options for an ideal fit. The stability load leg on the base can also help to limit movement in an accident. The storage cubby is handy for LATCH connectors as well as straps. Additionally, the seat is equipped with a rebound bar that helps to reduce the chance of a crash to rotate.

The Revv isn't the heaviest in its class, but it's quite heavy and longer than most of the seats we tested, so it's probably not a great option for smaller cars or front-seat passengers. It doesn't come with an indicator for the level and you'll have to play around to find the best position. But it does have an automatic belt lock-off feature and an identifier-colored pathway to make sure you don't make a mistake, and its push-style LATCH connectors make it much easier to install with the vehicle belt. It also has an excellent crash test score, and is GREENGUARD GOLD certified to help you breathe cleaner air.
