It’s easy to use and install with clear indicators on the base as well as visual feedback.

The 360 swivel has a great feature: it locks into place and is able to move smoothly. This allows you to shift your baby from rear to front without waking them or placing too much strain on your back. It’s simple to adjust both the height of the headrest and harness. Our reviewers were impressed by how quickly and easily it was done and how you can ensure that your child is positioned correctly every time.

The only drawback is that you can’t use it with a pram because it’s mounted in your vehicle. You’d have to wake up a slumbering baby to transfer them to a stroller when you return home. It’s not the lightest car seat (at almost thirty pounds), so it can be a little heavy to carry around. However, if you’re looking for a car seat that will develop with your child from birth until ten years old and comes with a variety of reassuring safety features, it’s worth the extra weight.

It comes with two dishwasher-safe cup holders and an infant insert that’s designed for babies. It even has a sun shade for your baby to keep them safe while you drive.

The Pearl 360 comes with a clever and innovative patented “SlideTech” function on its base. This allows the seat to rotate first and then slide, if used in conjunction with the FamilyFix base. This makes getting your baby into and out of the seat an easy task, especially if you’re travelling solo. The AGR also ranks it as a back-friendly car seat. It comes with a cosy inlay from birth, ClimaFlow ventilation and G-Cell impact protection.

Tension Fix Indicator

The ability to rotate your child’s position in a car seat while keeping their buckles securely secured is a major selling point. This is the reason that we have included the maxi cosi spin on our top five list of the top infant car seats of 2019. It is a patent-pending system that allows parents to easily rotate and bring their child closer to them. The rotating feature reduces back strain and makes it easy to get a baby into and out of a seat.

The patented system, dubbed SlideTech allows the base to move toward you while you rotate your seat in any direction. The swiveling feature allows you to buckle or unbuckle your child easily and without strain. It also eliminates the need to reach across the front of your car to get a seat belt which can be a hassle in certain cars.

The Tension Fix Indicator is a great addition. It is a patent pending tension-sensitive indicator that tells you know when your car seatbelt is in good shape. This car seat solves one issue that 7 out of 10 parents aren’t aware of, which is loose car belt tension.

The maxi cosi Spin also has ISOFIX anchorage as well as a top tether point that can enhance security and stability. It also has visual indicators to make it easy to install and remove the seat from your vehicle. This feature is particularly important because ISOFIX can reduce the risk of incorrect installation by up to 94%. This could be risky for children.

The car seat can be used from birth to age 4, and is designed to grow with your child. maxi cosi car seat base can be used for rear-facing, high-back boosters and forward-facing. It features 360-degree FlexiSpin rotating base that makes it easy to use. It also features a unique linear side-impact protection system that improves the safety of collisions by up to 25%. This is a comfortable and safe seat that protects your child from top to the bottom.

Rear-Facing

Although it’s more expensive than many other rotating car seats it is also a top choice for safety. It has a stable leg attached to its base, which helps to keep it in a stable position even on rough roads. It has a buckle-sensor that sends alerts to your smartphone when it’s time to examine your child or if their seatbelt is unbuckled. It can hold children up to 40 pounds rear-facing, and 22 to 65 pounds forward-facing, which means it can expand with your child.

The fact that children can be rear-facing for up to four years old is a major benefit. This is a huge improvement over the previous “upto two years” limit. Its “Guard Surround” safety panels will automatically activate during a crash to protect your child. The height-adjustable, adjustable headrest is also very comfortable for older children. This seat received a satisfactory 1.6 out of five stars in an ADAC crash test which means you can be certain that it will provide your child the best possible protection.

Many rotating seats claim that they last for up to 12 years’, but they’re really only suitable for rear facing until your child is about 10 or 11 years old. Some exceptions include the Graco Turn2Me that can be used in three different modes (rear facing, forward-facing, and booster) from the time of birth until your child is about 13 or 14 years old. Its swivel feature helps your child get out and in easier, while independent toddlers are able to climb into the car and buckle themselves up by them.

The Cosatto Sirona and Baby Auto Dupla are two other car seats that don’t provide the same rearward facing capability. The two seats aren’t expensive, but they’ve been proven to be of poor quality. They come with poor harnesses that are not well-fitted and have a tendency for the seat to move back when rear-facing. The Graco Joie has a better recline, but it’s not as compact as some other models and its Isofix mechanism may struggle to achieve a secure fit in certain cars.

Forward-Facing

As your baby grows, you’ll have to transition the baby from rear-facing mode to forward-facing mode. It’s a good idea to start this process when their head begins to rise up above the back of the seat. To determine if it’s time, simply place your hand against the back of the seat and try to touch the top of your child’s head.

The Joie 360 is one of the most comfortable seats that can convert your infant’s rear-facing seat into a forward-facing one. It rotates 360 degrees, making it easy to get your child into the car and out. The buckle holder is magnetic and keeps the harness straps out of the way so you don’t have to fish them out from under your toddler when you’ve gotten them in.

The seat is light and is easy to carry when packed with your child’s car seat bag. As with all the top rotating car seats, it has a Tension Fix indicator, which shows you visually whether the seat belt is tight enough. When the indicator changes color from green to red, you’ll know that it is safe.

Another fantastic car seat that can rotate is the Graco Turn2Me which also turns into an infant booster seat when your baby is ready. It comes with an easy latch system and an extra-safe SlideTech feature that allows you to turn the seat in your direction when you take your child out of the vehicle.

This seat is a great option for cars with smaller trunks because it is one of the tiniest rotating chairs available. It also comes with a few safety-enhancing features, like an adjustable height support leg and a rebound bar that helps keep the seat from tilting in the event of a crash.

We are impressed by the many features of this seat but we are a bit dissatisfied that it doesn’t have a built in level to ensure proper installation of the base. This is a pity since a properly-installed seat is essential to your baby’s security.
