What Is a Rotating Car Seat?

Rotating car seats are those mysterious kids from out of town that just moved to your high school that everyone has heard of, but people don’t know anything about. Also known as swivel car seats, this type of convertible car seat can typically rotate 180 to 360 degrees with magical buttons or levers, making the often challenging task of transporting your squirmy little one into the car a lot easier.

Are Rotating Car Seats Safe?

Yes, rotating car seats are safe when properly installed, just like any other car seat. While rotating car seats might be the new kid in town, they’re not new to the market and have been popular in Europe for quite some time. Rest assured rotating car seats can’t hit the shelves unless they pass all the strenuous safety tests with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.

What Makes Us Cringe A Little:

Real talk, rotating car seats aren’t perfect. Nothing is. They’re larger. So, if you’re driving a tiny car and haven’t upgraded to the mom van yet or have other car seats in the car to think about, make sure it's still right for you.

Not necessarily a reason to cringe, but something to note is rotating car seats tend to have a lower weight limit than their non-swiveling convertible car seat competitors. Not a deal breaker but good to know before you make the jump to invest in a rotating car seat.

Finally, brand-new rotating car seats have a reputation for being outrageously expensive. Prices range from a whopping $450-$650. Eek. It’s hard not to notice that that’s a monthly car payment for many families.
