Looking for a car seat for your baby it can seem overwhelming, as there are so many different models available nowadays.
When child is small and travelling rear facing, swivel seats are a highly recommended option, as they allow you to turn the seat towards the door to position the child more comfortably and with less effort.
That is why we have decided to create this guide where we want to help you, through advice and guidelines, to get to know the different functions of swivel car seats, so that when deciding on a specific model, you can be sure that you have chosen the type of seat that best suits your needs.
In addition to other functionalities, these are the main advantages offered by this type of chair:
You can position the seat facing the door for easy access, making it much more convenient to put your child in and take him/her out. Considering the number of times you will have to repeat this action, you will see that this is a key advantage.
Thanks to the swivel system, as your child grows, you can turn and position the seat forward-facing without having to remove and reinstall the seat.
Models such as Tekie i-Size or Tekie Classic, Ronda i-Size and Revolta offer you the convenience of a single installation for the entire period of use of the seat.
Many of our car seats offer you the possibility to install the seat using the Isofix system or, if your car does not have anchorages for this, to install the seat with the vehicle’s seat belt.

When your child is still very young and you are carrying him/her in your arms, we advise you to turn the car seat towards the door beforehand. This will allow you to place your baby more easily in the seat.
Normally, use of the swivelling system is more intensive when child is small and travelling rearward facing. Once you have installed your child, turn the seat to position it rearwarfacing.
Remember to regularly check that Top Tether is taut and the indicator is green. Daily use of swivel function may cause the Top Tether strap to lose tension, decreasing its effectiveness.
Remember that intermediate swivel position is only for easy access to the seat.
Please make sure to turn the seat to rear or forward facing position before driving.
As your child grows and is able to climb into the seat by himself or travels forward-facing, you will probably reduce the turning action until you stop using it.
