A rotating car seat (also called a swivel or turn car seat) is designed to turn 180 or 360 degrees. With this 360° swivel feature, parents can turn the seat towards the car door and face their children directly, making it much easier to get them securely into the seat. All Chicco rotating car seats are convertible, meaning they transition from rear-facing to forward-facing as your child grows. Chicco rotating car seats help reduce the strain and awkward positions parents and children experience during the process.

Rotating convertible car seats are a wise investment for many parents. They combine the adaptability of a traditional convertible seat with the added ease of a 360° swivel, simplifying daily use while keeping your child secure and comfortable as they grow.
The best location is in the rear seat, choosing the seat position where you can properly install the car seat and easily secure your child. Rotating Car Seats are designed specifically to make it easier to buckle your child in and out of the seat. For the very best experience of the rotating car seat product, users should first try installing it correctly within the vehicle seat on the outboard positions (non-center seats).
Many rotating car seats offer the flexibility of a 180 or 360-degree rotation for effortless installation, with the Chicco Fit360 providing a full 360-degree turn for the ultimate ease of use.
