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 trouble buckling up your baby. They are generally expensive.

Some of the best rotating car seats offer advanced safety features, such as an anti-rebound bar as well as Linear Side-impact Protection that reduce collision forces.

CYBEX Aton G Swivel

Swivel bases are an excellent option for those who travel light and wish to move their portable infant car seat car seat from one vehicle to the next without having to remove and reinstall the base every time. The CYBEX Aton G Swivel does exactly that, as well as an intelligent design and a simple ease of use for loading and unloading your child.

The unique swivel turns 180 degrees, making it much easier to position your child in the seat from either side of the vehicle. This is a big benefit, especially for wriggly infants. CYBEX makes it easy to set up the car seat using their SafeLock buckle tensioner, which will ensure an ideal fit in just a few seconds.

Other features include a non rethread harness, which adjusts with the seat headrest so that it grows with your child's growth and Linear Side Impact Protection (which reduces collision forces) and an anti-rebounding bar that enhances rotation of the seat during a crash. The shell has ventilation channels that allow natural airflow, which helps keep your baby in a comfortable position. The seat can also be washed by machine to make cleanup easy.

This car seat can also be used as a travel system to certain strollers. The Aton is compatible, along with other strollers with the CYBEX Gazelle S Stroller. It isn't the easiest infant car seat travel 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, take note that it has less impressive crash tests than its competitors and is also more expensive. It's still a great option for families with children. / p>

Graco SnugRide Convertible Car Seat

The Graco SnugRide is a reasonable choice for most families. It is a great choice for families looking for an array of features, crash protection and usability. It also integrates with many strollers which is a huge feature. However, it has a couple of problems. The seat is unstable particularly when it is fitted with the belt positioned in the rear. This could cause it to loosen and need to tighten over time. This isn't a security issue however it could be a nuisance for some parents. Another issue is that the crotch buckle's depth can be a little bit too deep for babies and can result in them sagging.

The SnugRide by Graco is an excellent option for infants and can accommodate children as big as 35 pounds or 2 years old that's the limit of most infant car seats. It scores excellent scores in crash tests which is not surprising. It is surprisingly light and comes with easy-to-follow instructions. It also scores highly in our ease of use ratings, which include the ease with which you can install the seat, adjust the headrest and harness and then place a child in the seat, secure the harness, and then remove the child from the seat.

The Graco GragRide is not as great in other categories, like comfort and quality. The fabric is more plasticky than other infant car seats and the padding is thin overall. This is the only one of our top picks that does not offer a head support insert for children with smaller heads, which is a bummer since it could reduce the chance of injury for some babies.

The Revv isn't one of the largest in its class, but it's fairly heavy and a bit larger than the majority of seats we've tested, which means it might not be a great option for smaller cars or front-seat passengers. It also doesn't have an indicator of the level when used in rear-facing mode, so you might need to play around with the settings and error to determine the best 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 easier to connect to the belt of your vehicle. It has an excellent crash test rating and is GREENGUARD certified to help you breathe clean air.
