12 Companies Leading The Way In Infant Car Seats That Swivel
Infant Car Seats That Swivel
A car seat that rotates may be the answer to your issues if suffer from back pain or have trouble in securing your child. They are generally expensive.
Some of the most effective rotating seats feature advanced safety features, such as an anti-rebounding bar and Linear Side Impact Protection, which minimizes the force of collisions.
CYBEX Aton G Swivel
Swivel bases are a great option for those who travel light and would like to move their infant car seat from one vehicle to another without having to uninstall and reinstall the base every time. The CYBEX Aton G Swivel offers exactly that, as well as thoughtful functionality and impressive ease of use when loading and unloading your child.
The unique swivel rotates around 180 degrees, making it easy to put your child in the seat from either the right or left side of the car. This is a big aid, particularly for wriggly infants. CYBEX also makes it easy to install the car seat with their SafeLock belt tensioner, which ensures that the seat is secure in just a few minutes.
Other features include a non Rethread harness, which can be adjusted to the headrest of the seat so that it grows with your child's growth as well as Linear Side Impact Protection (which reduces the force of collisions) and an anti-rebounding bar that enhances rotation of the seat in the event of a crash. The shell is ventilated with channels that allow natural airflow, which keeps your baby comfortable. The seat can also be cleaned by a machine to make cleaning easier.
Another great feature is the possibility of using this car seat as a transport system in conjunction with a variety of strollers. The Aton is compatible, in addition to other strollers with the CYBEX Gazelle S Stroller. It's not the easiest to attach a baby car seat to the stroller. You'll need to push a button located at the front of the seat, and then take the seat off the clip. If that's not enough to keep you from considering this car seat, know that it doesn't have impressive crash test results and a higher price tag than its competitors. It's still a good option for a lot of families. / p>
Graco SnugRide Convertible Car Seat
The Graco SnugRide is a reasonable option for families of all sizes. It provides a good mix of safety, features and functionality, including an adjustable belt on the front and an adjustable base (in certain versions). It also integrates with many strollers which is a huge benefit. However, it has a couple of problems. The primary issue is that the seat tends to be tippy when it is installed rear-facing and with the seat belt, which may cause it to loosen over time and need to be tightened. This isn't an issue for safety, but it can be a nuisance for some parents. Another issue is that the crotch buckle's depth may be a bit too deep for babies, which may lead to them slumping over.
Pushchairs And Prams by Graco is an excellent choice for babies of all ages, and it will fit kids up to about 35 pounds or 2 years old, which is the maximum capacity of many infant car seats. The seat gets very excellent scores in crash tests, which is normal. It is surprisingly light, and it has easy-to-follow instructions. It also ranks well in our ease of use ratings, which include how easy it is to install the seat adjust the headrest and harness put a child into the seat, secure the harness, and remove a child from the seat.
The Graco SnugRide isn't similarly in other categories, such as quality and comfort. The fabric is more plastic than other infant car seats and the padding is thin overall. This is the only one of our top picks that doesn't offer a head support insert for children with smaller heads, which is a bummer since it could reduce the chance of injury for some infants.
Orbit Baby G5+
The G5+ infant seat is an excellent option for parents who appreciate comfort and convenience. It combines cutting-edge safety technology with cutting-edge functions. Its patented SmartHub Base is directly compatible with the G5+ infant car seat, removing the need to use additional car adapters.
The SmartHub base is installed quickly and securely in less than 60 seconds using a single turn of the patented StrongArm knob. It's designed with an ergonomically-designed deep-cradle design and molded side impact protection for the best possible crash protection. The base is also lightweight for easier transportation. The base is light and comes with a full-coverage UV sunshade that can be tucked away when not in use. The seat is made of a soft and breathable premium fabric that is comfortable regardless of the weather or season. It has been certified safe by Oeko-Tex Standard 100, the ultimate in fabric safety. It comes with a 5-point harness, a head support insert, and the telescoping bar which can be adjusted to suit the height of the parents.
The G5+ can recline and rotate in a single fluid movement when used with the SmartHub. It can be used upright or fully reclined, with the parent facing towards the front or facing forward. The seat comes with high-quality lower anchors with push-button buttons that are stored in a convenient location and are accessible. The base also has an inbuilt indicator that lets parents know whether the lower anchors have been properly tightened, eliminating guesswork.
With the purchase of the Orbit Baby Helix+ double stroller attachment, the G5+ can be easily converted into double-strollers. It can hold up to two G5+ Stroller Seats, or a combination of the G5+ and a Nuna DEMI Next Sibling Car Seat.
Maxi-Cosi Peri
A car seat that rotates is a great option if you have a family that loves to travel or if you have an SUV. These seats make it simple to load and unload infants from the car particularly when baby is wiggly or cranky. They can also be useful for those who suffer from back pain or have a difficult getting to the back seat with just one arm. They rotate to make it easier to reach the child seat. This makes it easier to remove the child and then buckle them up.
Maxi-Cosi Peri is fitted with impressive safety features, including G-Cell technology for side impacts and a soft-from-birth insert and a handle that rotates 360 degrees around the base. The seat can be placed in a rear-facing position from birth. It has five recline positions that ensure an appropriate fit. A headrest can also be adjusted in tandem with 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 baby grows. The harness and headrest 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 whether the belt is tightened. The chest clip comes with Sensorsafe, which sends an alert to mobile devices if the child unbuckles it during a crash.
Similar to the Cybex Aton G Swivel, the Peri has an obvious belt path inside the shell, which allows baseless installation without the base (taxi mode). This is a handy feature that gives parents flexibility when traveling. The seat is also stroller-compatible and can be connected to Maxi-Cosi strollers that you choose to create an entire travel system.
NUNA REVV
This convertible car seat with a rotating mechanism from Nuna offers a stress-free method of getting your baby in and out of the vehicle. It can be swiveled to your vehicle door to allow easy entry and exit without the need to turn your back. It also grows with your baby's weight from newborn to 40 pounds. It can rotate 360deg from a single fixture to allow forward-facing and rear-facing riding. Its steel technology, Aeroflex side impacts protection pods, EPP energy absorbing flannel, and Aeroflex side impact protector pods elevate security to a new level. Ventilation panels inside the shell keep your baby comfy, while a 10-position bubble-free recline ensures an ensconced fit without pinch points.
This seat is above average in terms of ease of use. It comes with five-point harnesses that do not require rethreading, and magnetic buckle holders that are integrated into the seat to keep straps out-of-the-way when you buckle. The crotch belt has two height settings and ten strap length options for an optimal fit. The stability load leg at the base assists in reducing movement in an accident. The seat has an storage cubby that can be used to store straps, LATCH connectors, and other accessories. It also comes with a built-in rebound bar to help limit rotation during an accident.
The Revv isn't the largest seat in its class but it is still quite heavy and larger than the majority of seats we've tested. It may not be the ideal choice for cars with small spaces or front-seat passengers. It doesn't have an indicator of the level which means you'll need to test to find the right position. But it does have a belt lock-off and a color-coded pathway to make sure you don't make a mistake, and its push-style LATCH connectors make it easier to connect with your belts on your vehicle. It also has a great crash test score, and it's GREENGUARD GOLD certified to ensure you breathe clean air.
