With a toddler that doesn't not like to be strapped in, having the rotating feature was a selling point for me. Less of a struggle each time to try to put him in the car seat. WIN! The car seat itself is of great quality and I like the Sensorsafe feature for added piece of mind. Just a FYI- we have a BMW X3 and the seat belt harnessing worked in our car with no issues as well as in the X5.

This seat seems super awesome and was our number one choice for convertible car seat. I would give it 5 stars, but after trying to install it, it became clear the seat belt anchoring system would not work with our vehicle, the Volkswagen Atlas. This was confirmed through technical support with Cybex, so we had to return it. I would recommend it, but make sure it will work with the seat belts in your vehicle first.

Toddler loves it. We are road tripping family and comfort and safely is always a must! This car seat is both and much more!!

I bought this solely for the rotating feature and was very pleasantly surprised that, aside from that awesome feature, it’s still my favorite car seat (out of about 8 or 9) that I’ve ever used. The rotating feature works as easily as the videos show. The seat is super padded and very comfortable. The fabric is very high quality and definitely the nicest I’ve ever seen on a car seat. The harness loosens and tightens very smoothly which has been a huge issue on our past convertible seats. I haven’t set up the Sensorsafe yet so I’m not going to speak on it, but given the very high quality of the seat in general, I’m assuming it works great. The install was a bit tricky, but mostly due to the fact that I hadn’t read the directions carefully enough - I’d watched the video. I do recommend carefully reading the full installation instructions AND watching the videos. I had somehow missed that you close the belt tensioner with the EasyLock. Not sure how I missed that, but don’t make that mistake because it’s MUCH easier if you do it the correct way. When I move the car seat at the belt path, the install is rock solid. However, that was a little tricky to achieve because the more slack you pull out of the seat belt, the harder it is to lock the belt tensioner into place. If you don’t pull enough slack out, the car seat isn’t tight enough even after closing the tensioner. So you have to find the balance. Even with the seat being totally unmovable at the belt path, it’s still slightly loose feeling towards the load leg end. I’ve never used a seat with a load leg before, but since the load leg is locked into place correctly (there’s two indicators - one to show that you’ve folded the load leg out fully and the other to ensure adequate contact with the floor of your vehicle - the indicators are red if the leg isn’t in place correctly and are green if it is) and the seat doesn’t move at the belt path, I’m assuming the little bit of give there is normal. Also, the seat doesn’t take up much room from front to back when rear-facing. It’s about the same footprint as our infant seat (Chicco Keyfit 30) - maybe even a tad less - and that’s with it fully reclined. My 10 month old doesn’t hate the car, but she had been fussy lately when putting her in our other convertible seat. She seems to like this seat much better and doesn’t fuss in it. Oh and lastly, the harness shoulder pads are fantastic. They’re super soft and snap instead of Velcro. It seems like a small thing, but we’ve had several seats with pads that we’ve ended up just taking off if they were removable. These are by far the softest and most useful. I’m very happy with this purchase and am fighting the urge to buy a second one for my husband’s vehicle. 😬
