Infant Car Seats That Swivel
If you have back pain or struggle with buckling baby in the car seat, an infant car seat that can rotate could make all the difference for you. However, infant car seats that swivel pushchairsandprams cost a lot.
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 an excellent option for those who travel light and would like to swap their infant car seat from one vehicle to another without having to take it off and reinstall the base each time. The CYBEX Aton G Swivel offers exactly that, as well as thoughtful functionality and impressive ease of loading and unloading your child.
The unique swivel can rotate 180 degrees, making it easier to put your child in the car seat from either side of the vehicle. This is a big aid, particularly for wriggly infants. CYBEX makes it easy to install the car seat with their SafeLock buckle tensioner, which guarantees an ideal fit in just a few minutes.
Other standout features include a no-rethread harness that can be adjusted by adjusting the headrest to grow with your baby, Linear Side-Impact Safety which reduces collision forces, and an anti-rebound bar that improves seat rotation during a crash. The shell has ventilation channels that allow natural airflow, keeping your baby in a comfortable position. The seat can also be machine washed to make cleanup easy.
Another great feature is the possibility of using this car seat as a travel system with select strollers. The Aton is compatible with the CYBEX Gazelle S Stroller, among other strollers. It's not the easiest infant car seat to connect to a stroller, however, because it requires pressing the button on the front of the car seat and then removing the seat from its clip. If that isn't enough to deter you from considering this car seat, remember that it doesn't have impressive crash test results, and it comes at a higher price tag than some of its competition. It's still a great option for a lot of families. / p>
Graco SnugRide Convertible Car Seat
The Graco snugRide is a good choice for families with children. It is a great combination of safety, features and usability, such as an adjustable belt on the front and an adjustable base (in certain models). It also works with the majority of strollers. However, it has a couple of problems. The seat is tippy, especially when installed with the belt in the rear. This can cause it to become loose and need to tighten over time. This isn't a security issue however it could cause a problem for parents who have. The other issue is that the crotch buckle's thickness may be a bit too deep for infants, which may lead to them sagging.
The SnugRide by Graco is an excellent option for infants, and it will fit children as big as 35 pounds or 2 years old that's the maximum capacity of many infant car seats. The seat gets very high marks in crash tests, which is to be expected. It is relatively lightweight and has simple instructions. It also scores well in our user-friendliness ratings, which includes how simple it is to install the seat adjust the headrest and harness, place a child in the seat, secure the harness, then remove the child from the seat.
The Graco SnugRide isn't as well in some other categories, including quality and comfort. The fabric is more pliable than other infant car seats, and the padding is thin overall. This is the only one that doesn't have an insert for the head restraint of younger children. It is a shame because it could decrease the chance of injury to some babies.
Orbit Baby G5+
The G5+ infant seat is an excellent option for parents who appreciate the comfort and convenience. It is a combination of innovative safety technology with cutting-edge functionality. Its patent-pending SmartHub base allows direct compatibility with the G5+ Rotating Infant Car Seat, eliminating the necessity for additional car seat adapters.
The SmartHub base can be put in place quickly and safely using the patented StrongArm knob in less than 60 seconds. It's designed with an ergonomically-designed deep-cradle design and molded side impact protection for the best possible crash protection. The base is lightweight to make it easier to transport. The base is lightweight and includes a full coverage UV sunshade, which can be tucked away when not needed. The seat itself is constructed from soft and breathable premium fabrics that are comfortable throughout the year or climate, and is certified safe by Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for the ultimate in fabric safety. It comes with a 5-point harness, an infant head support insert and a telescoping bar that can be adjusted to the height of parents.
The G5+ can rotate and recline in a single fluid movement when connected to the SmartHub. It's forward-facing or parent-facing, and can be utilized in an upright or fully reclined position. The seat comes with high-quality lower anchors with push-button buttons which are conveniently stored in a place and are easily accessible. The base also has a built-in indicator that lets parents know whether the lower anchors have been correctly tightened, removing guesswork.
The G5+ can be easily converted to a double stroller through the purchase of an Orbit Baby Helix+ Double Stroller Attachment. It can accommodate two G5+ Stroller Seats or a combination of the G5+ Stroller Seat and Nuna DEMI Next Sibling Car Seat.
Maxi-Cosi Peri
A car seat that rotates is a fantastic option for families who loves to travel, or in the event that you own an SUV. These seats make it simpler to load and unload your baby, especially if baby is wiggly. These seats are also helpful if you suffer from back pain or have trouble getting into the back seat with just one arm. They also rotate to allow more ease of access to the child seat, making it easier to take it off and secure the child.
The Maxi-Cosi Peri is equipped with an impressive set of safety features, including G-Cell technology for side impacts, a cosy-from-birth insert, and a handle that turns 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 has a stability load leg as well as bar to prevent rebound for additional 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 will let you know whether the belt is tightened. The chest clip comes with Sensorsafe, which sends a mobile app alert when a child is unable to buckle it in the event of a crash.
The Peri, like the Cybex Aton G Swivel has an obvious route for the belt that is integrated into the shell. This allows baseless mounting, without the base (taxi-mode). This feature provides parents with more flexibility when traveling. The seat can be attached to certain Maxi-Cosi travel systems, and is compatible with strollers.
NUNA REVV
This convertible car seat that rotates from Nuna provides a convenient method of getting your baby out of the vehicle. It rotates to the door of the vehicle to make it easy to get in and out without having to bend your back. It expands with your child from newborn up to 40lbs. It can rotate 360 degrees for forward and rear-facing riding with just one installation, and its steel strength technology, Aeroflex side impact protection pods, and EPP energy absorbing foam take security to a new level. Ventilation panels within the shell guarantee your child's comfort, and a 10-position recline that is bubble free makes sure there aren't any pinch points.
This seat is above average in terms of its ease of use. It has a five-point harness that does not require rethreading. It also has magnetic buckle holders built into the seat to keep straps from getting in 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 is equipped with an area for storage to store LATCH connectors, straps, and other accessories. It also has a built in rebound bar that helps minimize rotation during an accident.
The Revv isn't the most heavy in its class, but it's quite heavy and longer than most of the seats we've tested, which means it might not be the best choice for cars with smaller dimensions or front-seat passengers. It doesn't come with an indicator of the level, so you may need to experiment 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 vehicle belt. It also has a top crash test score, and it's GREENGUARD GOLD certified to ensure you breathe clean air.
