What Is Maxi Cosi Car Seat Swivel's History? History Of Maxi Cosi Car Seat Swivel
Maxi Cosi Turn2Me Review The Graco Turn2Me car seat is a budget-friendly choice that can also function as an additional booster. It comes with an easy and quick installation, a back-saving rotating design, one-hand rotation and harness holders that are built-in. It's also airline-approved and has unique TensionFix red-to-green indicator for tension that fixes the problem 7 out of 10 parents suffer with loose belt tension in their vehicles. Features This car seat is ideal for those who need to rotate their infant car seats but do not require a rotating base. It also comes with additional features that make it an ideal option for parents who drive a smaller car or who travel often. It has a built-in headrest and a cup holder that can be adjusted to suit the child's size. It can be used in either forward or rear-facing mode. It has a one-handed rotating feature that allows you to easily take your child into and out of the car seat. The i-Spin Safe is a single-piece product with no separate base. It is installed using Isofix using the standard color-coded method. Our reviewer was impressed by the soft locks kept the seat steady while buckling and unbuckling your child. Additionally, the swivel mechanism was easy and quick to use. It can be used as a forward-facing or rear-facing seat and is compatible with Maxi Cosi's new slide-out base. It has a high ADAC rating and many features that include the 'Guard Surround” safety panels and a strap holder with a magnetic clasp that keeps straps out of the way, and 19 positions of adjustment for the headrest and the harness. It's designed to withstand crash tests up to 25mph and is iSize certified, which means it can expand with your child. However the seat is bulky and heavy, making it difficult to transfer from vehicle to vehicle. The seat is not as slim as other models and only has five height settings. This may limit your child's growth. Its cup holders are also very small, and our reviewer found that they could only hold normal-sized drinks, which isn't the purpose of having a built-in tray in the first place. The other issue is that it does not provide a storage space manual for the LATCH connectors and you'll need to remove the seat from the vehicle to access the connectors. You'll have to store them in the belt path or on the anti-rebound bar, which is less convenient than most seats that let you stash the connectors on the side of the seat. Installation The car seat is one of the most essential products you can purchase for your child. They must be properly installed to keep your child safe. Maxi Cosi's ISOFIX base and toddler car seat come with color indicators to ensure that the seat is secure in place. But, be aware that these indicators may not guarantee a snug fit, and you should always check the seat before driving. The ISOFIX base car seats and the toddler car seat come with a support tether or top tether that must be connected to the anchorage points on the rear of the door of the vehicle to complete the installation. Maxi-Cosi Peri 360deg Infant Car Seat is an ideal choice for parents who wish to avoid back strain while getting their child into and out of the car. The seat rotates easily with just one hand and can also be turned in forward-facing mode to allow you to reach your child's head. It's also the tiniest infant car seat that rotates which makes it easier to carry and transport. The seat is additionally distinguished by its unique antirebound bar. It slows down the rotation during the event of a crash. It also helps spread the force of the collision across the body of the car. The car seat's deep cradle design as well as EPP foam with energy-absorbing properties ensure that your child is protected from collisions with the side. Its easy-to-read indicator lights for installation make it one of the most simple rotating convertible car seats to install in most vehicles. Its mediocre pivot (which is difficult for one-handed operation) and sweaty material that left our tiniest testers sweaty, prevented it from taking the top position. The car seat is compatible with a stroller, and comes with a set of stroller adapters. It's compatible with a wide variety of strollers, and it comes with release buttons that let you easily transfer the car seat from your vehicle to the stroller without disturbing your child. It's also easy to put together and disassemble, and is machine washable. Safety The seat is comprised of two pieces that are a base and a shell. This seat's shell clips into place, in contrast to rotating car seats, where the shell slides along tracks over the base. While this can mean less fumbling for parents, it also can mean that the seat is harder to install as compared to other models. The seat itself is simple to use, featuring the swivel mechanism with one hand to get your child in and out of the car, built-in levels to aid in maintaining proper belt tension, as well as a harness strap system with tandem tension (which helps prevent the buckle from getting pulled up onto the stomach of your baby) and a quick release. This seat also comes with five reclines in a rear-facing position and a headrest that comes with an integrated slide-out lever to assist with the difficult task of getting your baby out of a car seat. In our crash tests the seat performed well. It scored four out of five stars in the side impact test and a four-out-of-five stars in the frontal collision test. This test demonstrates that it has a solid structure and is protected by plenty of padding. Its fabric is soft and it conceals the hard plastic seat frame very well. It's a bit heavier than other convertible seats. This could be a problem if are a parent living in an urban area and you need to accommodate three seats on the back seat. It's also not suitable for the trunks of all cars because of its large width. The LATCH anchors can be found under the shell on each side, near the bend of the seat. The tether clip is located in the back of the base. The anchors for LATCH are much easier to use than the tether strap, however, it takes time to make them secure enough. The tether strap isn't readily accessible, but it is able to be clipped onto the anchor points behind your seat, so you won't be able remove it accidentally in a crash. Price This car seat rotates not only at the seat, but also at the base. This makes it easier to get the baby in and out and reduces back strain for parents. It is easy to buckle, with soft locks on the base that are simple to open. The seat comes with a built in level that helps you ensure that the seat is properly installed in your vehicle. The harness straps are tensioned in tandem making it much easier for parents to ensure their child's safety. It has a high ADAC rating and can be used with babies from newborns to early teens. The seat can only be used rear-facing for children up to 40 pounds. Swivel functions are not available afterward. You have to switch the seat to forward-facing.

Another good option is the Graco Turn2Me, which combines the 360-degree swing of a swivel along with the convenience of a convertible seat. It's a little more expensive than other convertibles, however it has many excellent features that make it worth the extra cost. One of them is TensionFix, which solves a problem that is common to installation by letting you know the belt is tight with a red-to-green tension sensitive indicator. The seat has a built in vehicle belt lock-off arm as well as an easy release harness that can be operated with one hand. Like the Pria the seat also features 360-degree rotation which helps save you back strain when buckling your child in and out of the seat.
