Swivel car seat recommendations

[Boshi]

Hi, looking to get a swivel car seat for my 9 month old, not sure what centile she is but she’s not super tall or heavy.

We had the britax dualfix for my older dc and were quite happy with that (apart from the ££ price). Are there any other models that anyone can recommend?

I think the 25kg ERF seats are great (I have one myself) but if the OP is dead set on a rotating seat, the Dualfix is a great option. I didn't know the newest version went up to 20kg - that's a bonus! Do you know what the shell height is like, Bertie?

How on earth do you rear face a big 5 year old? My grandson would have to practically cut his legs off to be rear facing!
The implication that a child will only be safe if they are rear facing up to 7 years old is just scaremongering.

No it isn’t. Your ignorance is showing.

They need to be in a proper ERF seat. They can’t just be in any seat.

The pelvis and hip bones do not fully form until adolescence so they can easily rear face with no issues. Legs can go anywhere because of this and are never a reason to forward face.

My nearly 6 year old is on the 70th centile so among the tallest and she’s still fine rear-facing. The seats are designed so the children fit in them, after all.
It’s surprising that you don’t want the safest seat possible for your grandchild.

It seems similar to the Joie ones because I went to nose at it in a shop! The Joie one still fit DS2 at 109cm with space to expand. It does have the i-size 105cm limit, though.

I don't think it's really helpful to use absolute words like safe/unsafe.

It's true that ERF is safer, even up to 7 years old (at any age). And yes, it's perfectly possible and comfortable to fit 7yo legs in a proper ERF seat that is designed for that age. They just are fitted a little way back from the backrest of the seat to allow space for the legs.

But it's not really true to say that a 7yo is only safe if rear facing. There is always an element of risk to travelling in cars. A seatbelt would reduce that risk somewhat. Any kind of car seat, used correctly, would reduce it further still. A rear facing seat would reduce risk most of all.
