Maxi Cosi Mica 360 Pro 💺 - can’t rotate it when baby is sitting in it?

We’ve just bought the above car seat purely because it’s advertised as being able to rotate the seat with just one hand (as you have the baby in your other arm).

Well, sure enough when the seat is empty then it’s easy to move the catch and the seat moves around.

However, once our baby is sitting in it then there’s just no way we can make the seat swivel to face the door unless we use both hands.

Please tell me there’s a simple trick to it and we don’t have a dud seat?!

Thank you!

Is it because of the added weight of the baby? Or are they pushing against the seat back with their legs? Surely you will have two hands free anyway when they are in the seat.

If you bought it from a brick and mortar store, I would drive there and get them to check it. But if it's just the added weight then I'm not sure there is anything wrong as such.
