Features
This car seat is an excellent option for parents who want to rotate their infant car seat but don't require a base that can rotate. It also has some additional features that make it a good choice for parents who drive a smaller car or who frequently travel. It comes with an inbuilt cup holder and a headrest that moves to different positions as your child grows. It can be used either front-facing or rear-facing. It has a one-handed turning feature that allows you to easily get your child into and out of the car seat.
The i-Spin Safe comes in a single piece without a separate base, and is installed with Isofix (follow the standard color-coded system). The soft locks helped keep the seat in place when unbuckling or buckling the child.
It can be used front-facing or rear-facing and is compatible with Maxi Cosi's latest slide-out bases. It has an excellent ADAC rating and offers many features, including "Guard Surround' safety panels as well as a magnetic buckle holder to keep straps from getting in the way, and a 19 position adjustment of the harness and headrest. It is designed to withstand collisions up to 25mph and is iSize-compliant.
The seat is large and heavy, making it difficult to move between vehicles. It's also not as streamlined as many competitors, and the seat's height adjustment is limited to five settings which could be limited as your child grows. The cup holders are very small and only can hold standard-sized drinks. This isn't what you want for having built-in holders.
Another major flaw is that it does not provide a storage space manual for the LATCH connectors, and you'll have to remove the seat from the vehicle to access them. They'll have to be stored on the anti-rebound or belt path, which isn't as than other seats that allow you to store the connectors on either side of the seat.
Installation
The car seat is among the most essential products you will buy for your child. They should be installed correctly to protect your child. maxi cosi booster seat pushchairsandprams.uk and toddler car seat have color indicators to help you confirm the seat is securely locked into place. Be aware that these color indicators don't necessarily mean an unsecure fit. Always make sure to check the seat before you drive. In addition, the ISOFIX base and toddler car seats come with an upper or support leg tether that need to be connected to the vehicle's rear door anchorage points in order to complete the installation process.
The Maxi-Cosi Peri 360deg Rotating Infant Car Seat is a great option for parents who want to reduce back strain when taking their child into and out of the car. The seat can be rotated with just one hand and can also be turned in forward-facing mode to make it easier to reach your child's head. It's also the lightest infant car seat that can rotate, so it's easier to carry and transport.
This seat is also distinguished by its patent-pending antirebound bar. It helps reduce the rotation of an accident. It also helps distribute the impact force across the car's body. The cradle's deep and foam that absorbs energy in the car seat protects your child from collisions with the side.
The easy-to-read indicators for installation make it one of the simplest convertible car seats that you can install in most vehicles. However, its mediocre mechanism for swivelling (which is difficult to operate with one hand) and sweaty fabric that left our tiniest testers feeling hot, it fell just short of the top spot in our test.
This car seat is compatible with strollers and comes with an assortment of stroller adapters. It's compatible with numerous strollers and has release buttons to make it easy to move the car seat to the stroller. It's also easy to put together and disassemble, and is machine washable.
Safety
The seat is also made up of two pieces, a base and a shell. Unlike some rotating car seats, where the shell slides onto a track that is on top of the base for installation the shell of this seat is attached to a portion of the base and is then clipped into it. While this can mean less hassle for parents, it can mean that the seat is harder to install than other seats.
The seat itself is simple to use, featuring a one-handed swivel mechanism to help your child get in and out of the car, built-in levels that help with proper vehicle belt tension, and a harness strap system with tandem tension (which helps prevent the buckle from getting pulled up onto the belly of your baby) and an easy release. This seat also has a five-position recline in rear facing mode and a headrest with a slide-out lever built-in to assist with the tricky 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 is due to its solid structure and the amount of padding around it. The fabric is soft and it hides the hard plastic seat frame very well.
It is a bit heavier than other convertible seats. This can be a problem if are a parent in an urban area and have to fit three seats onto the back of the seat. It's also not able to fit into the trunks of all cars due to its size.
The LATCH anchors are situated under the sides of the shell close to the bend in the seat and the tether clip is on the back of the base. The anchors for LATCH are much easier to use than the tether strap, however, it takes time to get them tight enough. The tether is not easily accessible but it clips to the anchor points behind your seat so you won't be able remove it in the event of the event of a crash.
Price

The seat has a built in level that helps you ensure that the seat is correctly installed in your vehicle.
