Infant Car Seats That Swivel
A car seat that rotates could be the solution to your issues if you suffer from back pain or are having trouble getting your baby buckled up. However, these seats typically come with a price tag.
Some of the top rotating seats have advanced safety features, such as an anti-rebounding bar as well as Linear Side Impact Protection, which reduces collision forces.
CYBEX Aton G Swivel
Swivel bases are an excellent option for those who travel light and wish to move their infant car seat from one vehicle to the next without having to take it off and reinstall the base each time. The CYBEX Aton Swivel is a great choice for those who wish to travel light as it allows them to switch their infant car seat between vehicles without having to remove and reinstall it each time.
The unique swivel turns 180 degrees, making it much easier to place your child in the seat from either side of the vehicle. This is especially beneficial for infants with a wiggly.

This car seat can also be used as a travel system to specific strollers. The Aton is compatible, along with other strollers with the CYBEX Gazelle S Stroller.

If this isn't enough to deter you from considering this seat, you should be aware that it isn't as impressive in its crash tests than its rivals and is more expensive. It's still a great 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 great choice for families that want an array of features, crash protection, and usability. It also works with most strollers. However, it has several problems. The primary issue is that the seat is more likely to tip when rear-facing, and is secured with a seat belt, which can cause it to become loose over time and require tightening. This is not a safety concern however it could be a nuisance for some parents. The other problem is that the crotch buckle's thickness could be a little too deep for small babies and can result in them sagging.
The SnugRide from Graco is a fantastic choice for babies of all ages. It will fit children up to 35 pounds or two years old, which is usually the limit for infant car seats.

It also scores highly in our ease-of-use rating that include how easy it is to put on, adjust, and secure the harness.
The Graco GragRide isn't as good 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 top pick that doesn't have an extra head restraint for smaller children. It is a shame, as it could reduce the risk of injury to children.
