10 Quick Tips About Infant Car Seats That Swivel Infant Car Seats That Swivel

A car seat that is rotating could be the solution to your problems if you have back pain or are having trouble in securing your child. These seats are usually expensive.

Some of the best rotating car seats come with advanced safety features like an anti-rebound bar as well as Linear Side-impact Protection which helps reduce the force of collisions.

CYBEX Aton G Swivel

Swivel bases are an excellent option for those who travel light and would like to transfer their infant car seat from one vehicle to the next without having to uninstall and reinstall the base every time. The CYBEX Aton G Swivel offers just that, along with clever functionality and an impressive ease of use when 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 huge benefit, especially for wriggly infants. CYBEX makes it easy to install this car seat by using their SafeLock belt tensioner that ensures that the seat is secure in just a few minutes.

The shell features ventilation channels that allow natural airflow, which keeps your baby in a comfortable position. The seat can also be cleaned by a machine to make cleanup easy.

Another great feature is the ability to use this car seat as a transport system with select strollers. The Aton is compatible with the CYBEX Gazelle S Stroller, among other strollers. It's not the most easy infant car seat to connect to a stroller, however, since it requires depressing an on the front of the car seat and then taking the seat off its clip. If that's not enough to keep you from considering this car seat, be aware that it doesn't have impressive crash test results and a higher price point than other brands. However, it is still an option for a lot of families. / p>

Graco SnugRide Convertible Car Seat

The Graco snugRide is a great option for families of all sizes. It is a good option for families looking for a combination of features, crash protection, and usability. It also integrates with many strollers and is a great bonus. However, it does have a few issues. The seat is unstable particularly when it is fitted with the belt at the rear. This can cause it to loosen and need to tighten over time. This is not a safety concern, but it can be a nuisance for some parents. The other problem is that the crotch buckle's thickness may be a bit too deep for small babies and could result in them slumping over.

The SnugRide from Graco is a great choice for the majority of babies. It is suitable for children who weigh up to 35lbs or 2 years old which is the usual limit for infant car seats. The seat gets very high scores in crash tests, which is normal. It is surprisingly light and has simple instructions. It also scores highly in our ratings for ease-of-use which includes how easy it is to put on the harness, adjust it, and secure the harness.

The Graco GragRide isn't quite as good in other categories, like comfort and quality. The fabric feels more pliable 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 children with smaller heads, which is a bummer because it can help lower the risk of injury for some infants.

infant car seat that swivels G5+

The G5+ infant car seat combines cutting-edge technology with the most advanced safety features that makes it an outstanding choice for parents who prioritize comfort and convenience. Its patented SmartHub Base is directly compatible with the G5+ infant car seat, removing the need to use additional car adapters.

It includes a full-coverage UV sunshade with patent-pending Paparazzi Shield extension that tucks away when it is not in use. The seat itself is constructed of soft high-quality, breathable fabrics that are comfortable in any season or climate, and certified safe by Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for the highest level of fabric safety. It's equipped with a durable 5-point harness as well as an infant head support for newborns and the telescoping handlebar, which can be adjusted to the right height for parents.

The G5+ is able to rotate and recline in a single fluid movement when connected to the SmartHub. It is either front-facing or rear-facing and can be utilized in an upright or fully reclined position. The seat has premium push-button lower anchors that store in a convenient location and are easy to access. The base also has an indicator built-in to let parents know whether the lower anchors have been correctly tightened, removing any guesswork.

The G5+ can easily be converted to a double stroller through the purchase of an Orbit Baby Helix+ Double Stroller Attachment. It can accommodate up to two G5+ Stroller Seats, or a combination of the G5+ and the Nuna DEMI Next Sibling Car Seat.

Maxi-Cosi Peri

If your family enjoys traveling or you have 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. They can also be useful if you have back pain or have a difficult time getting into the back seat with one arm. They also rotate for easy access to the child seat, making it easier to take it off and buckle the child.

Maxi-Cosi Peri comes with an impressive set of safety features, including G-Cell technology to prevent side impacts, a cosy-from-birth insert, and a handle that turns 360 degrees on the base. The seat can be used in a rear-facing position from birth. It has five recline positions to guarantee an ideal fit. The headrest can be adjusted in tandem with the harness. The base is equipped with an stability leg as well as an anti-rebound bar that provides an extra level of security.

The QuikFit 6-position harness eliminates the need to rethread it as the baby grows. The headrest and harness can be adjusted easily at the same time with one hand, and a TensionFix red-to-green tension indicator on the base lets you know when the belt has been properly tightened. The chest clip includes Sensorsafe, which sends an alert to mobile devices in the event that a child pulls it off in a crash.

Like the Cybex Aton G Swivel, the Peri has a visible belt path integrated within the shell which allows for baseless installation, without the base (taxi mode). This feature allows parents to have more flexibility when traveling. The seat can be connected to certain Maxi-Cosi travel systems, and is compatible with strollers.

NUNA REVV

This convertible car seat with a rotating mechanism from Nuna provides a simple method of getting your baby out and in of the car. It can be swiveled to the door of your vehicle to allow easy entry and exit without the need to twist your back. It can also grow with your baby's weight, from newborn to 40 pounds. It rotates 360deg to allow 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 safety to the next level. Ventilation panels within the shell guarantee your child's comfort, and the 10-position bubble-free recline ensures that there are no pinch points.

This seat is above average in terms of ease of use. It comes with a five-point harness that does not require rethreading, and magnetic buckle holders built into the seat to keep straps out-of-the-way when buckling. The crotch belt has two height settings and 10 strap length options to ensure an ideal fit. The stability load leg at the bottom assists in reducing movement during an accident. There's a storage cubby for LATCH connectors as well as straps. Additionally, the seat has a built-in rebound bar that helps to reduce rotation during an impact.

The Revv isn’t the heaviest seat in its class, but it is still quite heavy and larger than the majority of seats that we evaluated. It's not the ideal choice for cars with small spaces or front-seat passengers. It doesn't include a level indicator, so you may need to test to find the best position. But it does have the ability to lock off the belt and has a color-coded path to make sure you don't make a mistake and its push-style LATCH connectors make it easy to attach the belts of your vehicle. It has a high crash test score and is GREENGUARD certified to ensure you breathe fresh air.
