The Best Rotating Car Seats

Rotating car seats are total game changers.

Don't you love it when baby gear brands take a product and make it a million times better with new technology that makes a parent's life easier? We sure do! If you’ve ever had to bend, squat, or contort your body in order to get your kids in and out of their car seat and thought "there has to be an easier way," there finally is. Rotating car seats are our new obsession.

Instead of attempting to get a wiggly baby out of a car without breaking your back or hitting your head (or theirs!) on the car, you just press a button and the seat spins towards you. Genius!

Whether your child is rear-facing, forward-facing, or ready for a booster seat, these are our favorite rotating car seats.

This seat rotates a full 360 degrees, so getting your kids in and out of any car will be a breeze. It's great for all models, from a car or a van to an SUV. Just swing the car seat in any direction to feed, nurse, or get your baby in our out of the vehicle. This car seat has Safety 1st's tension sensors that have a red-to-green indicator on the seat's base. It allows you to see when your belt has tension — just look for the green. Plus, it grows with your child, so you don't need to buy multiple car seats or booster seats.

This car seat comes with a lot of impressive features like the stabilizing leg that attaches to the base to keep the car seat in the correct position. Another parent favorite: the buckle sensor that sends updates to your phone about your child's safety while they’re in the seat. You’ll know about temperature changes (if it's too hot or too cold) and you’ll get alerts if your baby is left in the car seat. One downside is that this car seat doesn't convert to a booster.
