Overwhelmed trying to pick a convertible car seat!
Swivel seats are nice for getting your kid in and out, but they’re not always great for saving space, especially rear-facing. If that’s a concern, skipping the swivel might be better. The Britax one’s a solid pick — not tiny, but fits well in smaller cars. It grows with your kid and the ClickTight install makes switching between cars it's super easy. More on reddit.com

Best convertible rotating car seat?
I have the evenflow 360 and the slim! They are great. There is no current recall, the crashes had the car seats installed incorrectly or they were not locked in while driving. Both are great! The slim is just narrower but I would just get the 360 if you have the space. It’s on sale at target right now, 20%! I love them! They are the best car seat More on reddit.com

Indecision about Convertible Car Seats
I have the Nuna rava and baby gear lab rated it pretty high. It’s on sale rn too for $399 at Nordstrom (only the color named Curated) . ETA: we purchased the Chicco Clear Tex All in one as well- but have yet to install it since my little is usually in the car with me or we take my car. Those were my top two after lots of research More on reddit.com

Best convertible car seat?
I hear ya! Both my kids hated infant seats. I do think it is just their age and no seat can solve the fact that some babies just don't want to be put in a car. It feels like once they met requirements and went forward facing things totally changed. As far as what we got...we are big fans of Orbit Baby and had already been using their infant seat, so naturally it made sense we switched over to the toddler seat. I love that it stayed rear facing and could still rotate (I think this is the only seat that does this and that can come out of a base). We also looked at the Cybex seat but after seeing them both in person we decided to stick with Orbit. I do love Clek too, but we couldn't find them in store to see and you just don't hear about them much. More on reddit.com

r/Buyingforbaby on Reddit: Overwhelmed trying to pick a convertible car seat!
April 22, 2025 -

I’m trying to decide on a convertible car seat and overwhelmed with the options. I’m looking for something that swivels/rotates and is fairly compact. My husband and I are both tall, and already with just the infant seat installed it’s a tight fit for my legs when I sit in the passenger seat.

Features that would be nice to have would be flame retardant free (was looking at the Nuna Revv but the height/weight limit is low) and easy to switch between cars.

Does what I’m looking for exist? I took the Safe in the Seat quiz and nothing pops up with all those features. When selecting for compact and swiveling seats, only the Graco Turn2Me was given as an option, however I’ve read conflicting reports on whether or not this is truly compact.

Any help would be much appreciated 😅

ETA: now I’m second guessing the swivel feature, is that truly worth it?

The best seat for your young child to use. It has a harness and, in a crash, cradles and moves with your child to reduce the stress to the child's fragile neck and spinal cord. Find out how to install rear-facing car seats. Your child under age 1 should always ride in a rear-facing car seat. There are different types of rear-facing car seats: Infant-only seats can only be used rear-facing. Convertible and all-in-one car seats typically have higher height and weight limits for the rear-facing position, allowing you to keep your child rear-facing for a longer period of time.

1 week ago - Also, Revv has absurdly low weight and height limits for rear-facing since its 2025 update. These low limits, combined with a very low 14” top harness height, mean Revv will be outgrown quickly; it’s a very expensive seat for the amount of time a child will be able to fit in it. Best For: Caregivers who want to skip the infant seat and use Revv from birth, then transition to a taller harnessed seat down the line; it's also an option for someone who wants great ease-of-use and plans to pass the seat down to a younger child.
