The Maxi Cosi Spin - The Best Infant Car Seats of 2019
A car seat that is rotated allows baby to get out of the car less difficult and reduces back strain. Parents also appreciate the fact that the tethered connection filament ensures that there is no separation between the base and seat during installation.
The convertible seat can grow with your child from birth to ten years old. It has rear-facing, forward-facing, and belt-positioning boosters. It has the headrest and harness in 10 positions, as well as a 10-position adjustment, along with PureCosi fabrics and foam.
360 Degree Swivel
If you're looking for a rotating car seat that will take you from baby to toddler, then this is an excellent choice. It rotates 360 degrees on the base to assist you get your baby out and in the seat, and swivels in a forward-facing direction to give your child a view of the road. It's simple to install and use, and comes with visual feedback and clear indicators on the base.
Another great feature of the 360 swivel is the ease with which it can move and lock in place. You can now switch your baby from rear-facing to front-facing without needing to get them up or strain your back. It's also really simple to adjust the headrest and the height of the harness. Our reviewers were amazed at how quickly and effortlessly it could be done, and how you can make sure your child is in the right position every time.
It's only downside is that you can't use it with a pram since it's mounted in your vehicle. You'll need to wake up a slumbering baby to take them to a stroller once you arrive home. It's also not the tiniest car seat (at around 30 pounds), so it can be a little heavy to carry around. But if you're looking for car seats that grow with your baby from birth to ten years and includes a lot of safety features that are reassuring, it's worth the extra weight.
maxi cosi car seat swivel can be rotated 360 degrees in forward-facing mode and swivelled, so that you can easily move the infant in and out of the car seat without straining your back. It comes with two cupholders that are dishwasher safe and a handy infant insert specially designed for infants. There's even an integrated sun shade for your little one to protect them while you drive.
The Pearl 360 has the added benefit of an ingenious 'SlideTech' function on its base, which allows the seat to first rotate and then slide when used together with the FamilyFix base. This makes getting your child in and out of the seat a breeze, especially if you're travelling alone. It's also recognized by AGR as a back-friendly car seat, and comes with a cosy from-birth inlay, ClimaFlow ventilation and G-Cell side impact protection.
Tension Fix Indicator
When it is a car seat the one that allows you to rotate your child and keep them safely buckled is a major selling feature. We have included the maxi-cosi spinning in the top five list of best infant car seats for 2019. It has a patented system that lets parents rotate their child and bring them closer to them. The rotating feature helps reduce back strain and helps ease the process of getting the child in and out of the seat.
The patented system, dubbed SlideTech allows the base to move in front of you while you rotate your seat in any direction. The swiveling feature makes it easy to buckle and unbuckle your child with no strain. It eliminates the requirement for you to reach across the front of your car for a seatbelt. This can be a difficult task in certain vehicles.
Another fantastic aspect of this car seat is the Tension Fix Indicator, which is a patent-pending tension-sensitive red-to-green indicator that tells you when the car seat belt is in good condition. This solves the problem that 7 out of 10 parents don't face that is loose belt tension in the vehicle.
The maxi cosi Spin also has ISOFIX anchorage and a top tether point that can improve safety and stability. It also has visual indicators that make it easy to install and remove the seat from your car. This feature is particularly important because ISOFIX reduces the risk of an incorrect installation by up to 94%. This could be risky for children.
This car seat is used from birth to age 4 and is designed to develop with your child. It can be used in forward-facing, rear-facing and high-back booster positions and comes with a 360-degree FlexiSpin rotational base that provides the convenience of using. It also has a unique linear side-impact protection system that improves collision safety by up to 25%. It's a secure and comfortable seat that you can trust to protect your child from head to toe.
Rear-Facing
This elegant design is not just more expensive than other car seats that rotate but also the best choice for safety. It features a foot that is stable attached to its base which helps it stay in the correct position, even on rough roads. It has a buckle-sensor that will notify your smartphone when it is time to examine your child or if the seatbelt is unbuckled. It can accommodate children weighing up to 40 pounds when facing backwards and 22 to 65 pounds when facing forwards, so it can grow along with your child.
The fact that children can be rear-facing up to four years of age is a big selling point. This is an enormous improvement over the previous "upto two years" limitation. Its 'Guard Surround" safety panels will automatically be activated in the event of a crash, protecting your child. The height-adjustable and adjustable headrest is comfortable for older children. This seat earned 1.6 stars out of 5 during an ADAC crash-test, so you know it will give your child the most secure protection.
Some rotating seats claim they can last 'upto 12 years' however they are only suitable for rear-facing until your child is at the age of 10 or 11. The Graco Turn2Me is an exception, since it can be used for all three types of seating including forward facing, rear facing, and booster from birth to 13 or 14. Its swivel feature helps your child get out and in easier and independent toddlers will find it easy to climb into and secure themselves themselves.
Other rotating car seats that do not have the same rear-facing feature are the Cosatto Sirona, Baby Auto Dupla and Graco Joie 360 spin. The first two car seats aren't expensive, but they've been proven to be of poor quality. They have a poor harness that are not well-fitted and have the tendency of the seat to move back when facing rearwards. The Graco Joie is more compact than the other models, however it has a less comfortable recline. Its Isofix mechanism may also have trouble fitting in certain cars.
Forward-Facing
As your baby grows, you'll have to switch the baby from rear-facing mode to forward-facing mode. It's best to start this process at the point that their head starts to come upwards over the back of the seat. Place your hands on the back of the seat and try to touch your child's top head.
One of the best seats to help your baby move from a rear-facing seat to a forward-facing car seat is the Joie 360. It can rotate 360 degrees, making it simple to get your baby into the car and out. And a magnetic buckle holder keeps the harness straps out of the way, so you don't need to remove them from under your toddler once you've put them in.
This seat is light and easy to carry even when loaded with your child's seat bag. Like all the top car seats that rotate, it also has a tension fix indicator that shows you visually whether the seatbelt is securely tightened. If the indicator's color changes from red to green, you'll be able to tell if it's safe.
Another excellent rotating car seat is the Graco Turn2Me that can also function as a booster seat once your baby is ready. It comes with a simple latch system, and an intelligent, back-saving SlideTech feature that lets you rotate and slide the seat towards you when taking your child out of the car.
This chair is a great alternative for cars with small spaces, as it is one of the slimmest rotating chairs that are available. It comes with a variety of safety features, including a height-adjustable leg support and an adjustable rebound bar to stop tilting during a crash.
We are impressed by the many features of this seat, but are disappointed that it doesn't come with a built-in level to ensure the proper installation of the base. And, since an installed and safe seat is essential to the safety of your baby, this oversight is disappointing.
