Joie Spin 360 Isofix Car Seat

We brought this car initially because it has the ability to be rear facing as well as forward, and studies show the longer your child can face the rear the safer. We liked the added perk of the "twist" as we could turn it to the door to place the child in, and being 8 months pregnant this is a massive help as I'm not having to bend over and twist to get him in. And being able to recline the car seat was a must for us, so if we went on a lot going journey we knew our little boys head wouldn't be rolling
around or resting in his chest. The seat seems incredibly comfy, with extra padding and head rests you can either move or take out to suit your child's age. My only issues with the car seat would be, that the isofix can be wobbly if you want to be able to use the car seat forward and rear facing. We had to choose the position we wanted our seat in and then push it right back into the car chair to stop it rattling around. We knew a little wobble was normal, as it's designed to take any impact shock if we did have a crash, rather than the child, however we felt it was too wobbly if a little space away from the car chair. (This could just be my cat I have a vauxhall astra). The only other thing I would say is the removable strap covers may be problematic for children with long hair. Under the padding there seems to be a rubber lining which sits on your child's shoulders I imagine to give extra grip, and stop your child from escaping, however if hair gets under the strap too, it also grips that and can be s little painful for your child to get it out.
Over all I'm very happy with our car seat, it is slightly on the pricier side, although I believe that is due to the isofix base. And I believe it is worth the money for the comfort, ease of putting your child in, and the option of using from birth.

Love this car seat makes getting my daughter in and out the car so much easier due to its 360° spin feature especially with a bad back. She looks so comfortable even on a longer car journey and had no problem with her head flopping forward. Used since her birth. My friends who are expecting are now investing in this seat for there little ones.

We purchased this car seat as we wanted a seat that would last us a few years. The price was very reasonable and after looking at a few different ones this had everything we wanted for a great price. The spin feature makes getting baby into the car very easy and the inserts make the seat nice and snug for newborns. It also has the isofix base so you can be sure the seat is in correctly. We have the seat on red which looks really nice and stylish.

We absolutely love this car seat and it makes it better that it is one of the most competitively priced 360 spin seats around! I like the ease of getting a squirming toddler in with a simple touch of a lever, and how comfy they look when they’re in! The material is of good quality and seems to wear very well - we have been using it for almost 2 years now! The one downside we have found is that the belt does seem to get twisted and needs fixed fairly regularly; this is a very small gripe as in every other aspect we would rate this seat 10/10!!

My little girl hated being in her car seat from day 1. I decided to buy this and it was a miracle! She stopped crying during car journeys and loves being in the car! Thumbs up from me!

This is the perfect car seat for us. It is really easy to get our son in and out of, especially when he is sleeping, we can usually get him out of the car seat and into the house without waking him! I am also finding this much easier being pregnant, as I’m not having to get inside the car to get my son into the seat. It’s also great being isofix as easy to move between different cars and secures easily!

We live the 360 so easy to get in and out of the car, the fact it's all together and no separate base helps. I love how easy it is to get them in and out of it by turning it round. It seems pretty comfortable as well my two year old used it for a while and now my 10 month uses it and seems just as comfortable for both of them. Would definitely recommend to other parents looking for a car seat!

Love this car seat it’s the best we’ve bought, our son is very comfy in it, and has plenty of room to grow. Love the fact it turns to make placing and removing little ones from it a lot easier.

When we was first hunting for the size up car seat from the 1st stage one that came with our travel system it was really important we found something that was compatible with extended rear facing.
At the time of purchase we had a 3 day car which meant getting our little one in and out of the car seat would have been more difficult if we'd had opted for a fixed seat rather than one that rotated. Since owning a 5 door car I've come to realise that even now a 360° seat is the most ideal one for us, getting our boy in and out of the car is so easy. The 5 point harness is easy to fasten and easy to adjust the straps and tighten them. Our little boy is currently 16 months old and is still comfortably rear facing in the joie 360 spin.
I love how this seat truly does grow with your baby/child and has so many aspects that can be adjusted to suit your child
The only regret I have is not getting it sooner

I have a bad back so this car seat is very helpful so I don’t have to bend into funny positions. It also made sure I could rear face my baby for longer which is much safer.

Really impressed with this seat. Safety wise looks.like.one of the best available it has it's own airbags and inserts to fit your little one right up to 4 years old. 360 spin design is a god send.

Fantastic item, bought for my newborn baby as I wanted something that'd last and was rear facing for longer.
No faffing with seat belts as the built in isofix and leg make sure it's nicely secure. It has clear indicators on the fix points and leg that turn from red to green when it's correctly installed, which is quite simple to do.
The seatbelts are easy adjusted and it has handy elastic loops either side of the seat to slot the belt buckle in to whilst you take the child in and out of the seat, and can then be tightened single handedly.
With the seat spinning 360 it's made life so much easier to load my baby in and out of the car (no more back ache from twisting and lifting awkwardly!) and the seat audibly clicks in to position when moved to rear or forward facing (as preferred).
The covers are all washable and can be removed quite easily as well.

Great car seat for newborn up to 4 years. Plenty of inserts so the seat changes as child grows. The 360 spin is fantastic for those with a bad back. You don't have to lean over to buckle them in, just spin the seat to the side, clip baby in and then spin back to either forward or rear facing depending on age and weight of child.
It tilts back and reclines slightly.
Only downside is the button to spin the chair around is difficult to push in (from the location it is when in situe in car). You have to 'get the knack' of finding the button by feeling around for it and there isn't much space for you hand to fit in the gap.
It is also very bulky, which should be a consideration if you have two or more children needing seats, or plans for more children in future.
You will need to upgrade your car to fit 3 in the back.

Overall a brilliant car seat I love mine for my son so comfortable and secure good harness and had someone from mothercare for it only thing is it doesn’t really recline fat enough back when asleep but all in all brilliant and worth every penny!!

I have swapped from my cosatto car seat which came with my ooba system to this now my baby is 5 months old as she was getting too heavy to carry in the car seat. This seat is easy to use and looks far more comfortable for my little girl than the other seat I was using. The spinning feature makes it far easier to get baby in and out of the car without hurting your back. It was difficult to know which inserts to use with my little girl as she wasn't in it from birth, but with trial and error we worked it out.

Great car seat absolutely love it. Perfect for my little boy. He didn’t fit in it at birth (even though it states it can be used) because he was premature and too small. His head kept flopping forward but once he grew (from about 3 weeks old) I have been able to use it and it’s a god send getting him in and out the car when the spaces are tight. Absolutely love it. It is one of the more expensive seats but worth every penny

Brilliant car seat. So easy to use. Easy once you know how to get in and out if needed too. We got ours in a sale but still wouldn't mind paying full price for it.

Nice sturdy carseat love the spin on it. My little one is always comfortable and content in it. So easy to use I have always struggled on how to work car seat straps but not a problem with this one. I would 100% recommend this car seat.

Although if you aren't used to it the buttons for tiliting and swivelling are close together its soon easy to get used to and it is really easy to use. My son finds it very comfortable and is happy on long drives to sit happily.
It is bulky and probably wouldn't be good for smaller cars but definitely not a problem in something medium size.
Would definitely recommend and have done to many friends.

We have just bought this for our little girl. I can't believe how easy to install it was and make it suit her by removing the inserts. On our first outing she slept longer than she ever has done in the car so she must like it too! I love the fact you can recline it when she's sleeping and hoping it will last ages as it can grow with her.

Great saftety features and it’s really easy to use. The swivel makes it a lot easier for you and your child. No more awkward squeezing and turning with this car seat.

I absolutely love this car seat! The ease of use is its main pro and this is one of the cheapest 360 car seats I’ve seen compared to others. It turns really easily and smoothly using only one hand. When using other basic car seats (ie on holiday) it made me realise how lucky we are to have this one turn to face the door when getting baby in and out! I find the steps easy to tighten and release with 1 easily accessible push button (once you know where it is!) and very easy to clip baby in. I did find you need to make sure you pull out both shoulder straps an equal length otherwise one pulls tighter than the other when tightening back up but now I am use to this it’s not an issue.
Perfect that it lasts from newborn to approximately 4 years old with it being able to stay rear facing for longer than the average car seat which is safer.
The only downside I have is that I find it does not recline back very far and for newborns this can look dangerous! I found that when falling asleep my newborns head would tip forward and I often found myself pulling over to try and reposition him because this worried me! It’s not so bad now that he has control of his neck, he seems to stay more upright but was an issue at the start. I felt it should lie slightly further back for newborns.

Excellent car seat, so handy that it spins. Son looks really comfortable in it. Only thing I would say is it’s tricky to get out of the car.

I have fallen head over heels in love with this product. Baby is comfortable and happy in this car seat.

Being able to spin the seat to help with getting baby in and out is the best idea ever! I am disabled and struggle with most seats as you have to twist to get baby in or out, this is eliminated with this product!

The product is sturdy and doesn't have much movement in the car unlike belted seats.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone!

Overall I love my joie 360 spin , easy to use , helps if not a lot of room to open door as you just spin it , easy access to baby. Definitely would recommend
