Infant Car Seats That Swivel

If you suffer from back pain or struggle with the buckling of your child the car seat, an infant car seat that rotates may make the world of difference for you. These seats are typically expensive.

Some of the best rotating seats feature advanced safety features, such as an anti-rebounding bar, as well as Linear Side Impact Protection, which reduces the force of collisions.

CYBEX Aton G Swivel

Swivel bases are a great option for those who travel light and wish to swap their infant car seat from one vehicle to another without having to uninstall and reinstall the base each time. The CYBEX Aton G Swivel provides exactly that, as well as an intelligent design and a simple ease of loading and unloading your child.

The unique swivel turns 180 degrees, making it easy to place your child in the seat from either side of the vehicle. This is a huge help, especially with wiggly infants. CYBEX makes it easy to install the car seat using their SafeLock belt tensioner, which ensures that the seat is secure in just a few minutes.

Other features include a no Rethread harness, which can be adjusted by adjusting the headrest of the seat so that it grows with your child, Linear Side Impact Protection (which reduces collision forces) and an anti-rebounding bar that improves rotation of the seat during an accident. The shell features ventilation channels that allow for natural airflow, keeping your baby comfortable. The seat can also be washed by machine to make cleanup easy.

This car seat can also be used as a travel system to 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 a button on the front of the car seat, and then taking the seat away from its clip. If that isn't enough to keep you from evaluating this car seat, be aware that it's not the most impressive crash test results and comes with a higher price tag than other brands. It's still a good choice for many families. / p>

Graco SnugRide Convertible Car Seat

The Graco SnugRide is a budget-friendly choice for most families. It provides a good mix of crash protection, features and usability, including an adjustable belt on the front and an adjustable base (in certain models). It is also compatible with a wide range of strollers. It does have some issues. The primary issue is that the seat is more likely to tip when installed rear-facing with the seat belt, which may cause it to loosen over time and need to be tightened. This isn't a safety issue but it can be a hassle for certain parents. The other problem is that the crotch buckle's depth may be a bit too deep for infants, which may lead to them sagging.

Graco's SnugRide is a great choice for babies of all ages and will accommodate children up to 35 pounds or 2 years old which is the limit of most infant car seats. The seat scores very excellent scores in crash tests which is to be expected. It is lightweight and has easy-to-follow instructions. It also scores well in our user-friendliness ratings, which include how easy it is to install the seat, adjust the harness and headrest, place a child in the seat, secure the harness, and then remove the child from the seat.

The Graco SnugRide isn't similarly in other categories, such as quality and comfort. The fabric feels more plastic than other infant car seats, and the padding is thin overall. This is the only one of our top picks to not provide a head-support insert for smaller children, which is a bummer as it could help reduce the risk of injury for certain babies.

Orbit Baby G5+

The G5+ infant car seat travel car seat inserts for newborns seat is a blend of innovative technology with the most advanced safety features, making it a standout choice for parents who value comfort and convenience. Its exclusive SmartHub base is directly compatible with the G5+ Rotating infant car seat that swivels Car Seat, removing the need to purchase additional car seat adapters.

Maxi-Cosi Peri

If your family loves traveling or you own an SUV, a rotating infant car seat could be the right choice for you. These seats make it easier to load and unload your baby, especially if baby is wiggly. These seats are also useful if you suffer from back pain or have difficulty getting into the back seat with just one arm. The seats rotate to allow you to reach the child's seat. This makes it easier to remove the child from the seat and buckle them up.

The Maxi-Cosi Peri has impressive safety features, including G-Cell side impact technology, a cozy-from-birth inlay and a 360-degree handle at the base. The seat can be used in a rear-facing position from birth. It features five recline positions that ensure a comfortable fit. A headrest can also be adjusted at the same time using the harness. The base includes an stability load leg as well as an bar to prevent rebound for additional security.

Parents will appreciate the QuikFit 6-position harness, which will eliminate the need to rethread as the baby grows. The headrest and harness are adjusted with just one hand. A TensionFix red to green tension indicator on base will let you know when the belt has been properly tightened. The chest clip comes with Sensorsafe, which sends an alert to mobile devices in the event that a child pulls it off in a crash.

The Peri, like the Cybex Aton G Swivel has a clear route for the belt built into the shell. This allows for baseless mounting without base (taxi-mode). This feature gives parents more flexibility when traveling. The seat can be connected to a variety of Maxi-Cosi travel systems and is stroller compatible.

NUNA REVV

This rotating convertible car seat from Nuna offers a stress-free method of getting your baby out of the car. It can be swiveled to your vehicle door for easy in-and-out without the need to bend your back. It also grows with your baby's weight from newborn to 40 pounds. It can rotate 360 degrees for rear and forward-facing riding from a single installation and its steel strength technology, Aeroflex side impact protection pods and EPP energy-absorbing foam take safety to the next level. Ventilation panels in the shell keep your baby at ease, and a 10-position recline that is bubble-free ensures the safety of your child without pinch points.

This seat is a notch above average accessibility due to a five-point harness with no rethreads and magnetic buckle holders that keep straps from getting in the way when the buckling process. The crotch strap has two height positions and 10 length options for the strap to ensure a secure fit, and the stability load leg at the base helps reduce the chance of moving during an accident. There's a handy storage cubby for LATCH connectors and straps, and the seat is equipped with a rebound bar to limit rotation during an impact.

The Revv isn't the most heavy seat in its class, but it is still quite heavy and longer than most of the seats that we tested. It's not the best choice for small cars or front-seat passengers. It also doesn't have a level indicator when installed in rear-facing configuration, so you might need to play around with the settings and error to determine the most comfortable position. It does have a color-coded path and a belt lock-off to assist you in avoiding mistakes. The push-style connectors that come with LATCH make it much easier to attach to the vehicle belt. It has a high crash test score and is GREENGUARD certified to help you breathe clean air.
