Fantastic car seat with a major learning curve
Installing this car seat for the first and even second or third time was challenging for us. But once we got the hang of it (and doing it properly), we have no complaints. EXCEPT, that if you have two of these (or any toddler car seat) installed on the outboards of a bench seat, installing them can be very tricky because of the way you have to rotate the car seat to lift the seat out of the base and access the belt path for installation. Lifting it out with another toddler car seat on the bench can get very tight, and wonky as the emme does not have proper space to rest out of the base while you install seatbelt if thereâs another car seat on the bench. If you only have one car seat or an infant seat on the bench with this one, itâs a non issue. Additionally- the swivel feature will not work fully if there is a car seat installed in the seat directly beside this seat.With that said, we have two toddler seats on a bench seat and have made it work. With proper installation the swivel works perfectly for us. We have never had an issue. My child is incredibly happy and comfortable in this seat. I would absolutely buy it again.

Game changer
This car seat is so luxurious. I love the swivel design. It makes getting a toddler in and out a lot easier. Baby seems to be really comfortable in it.

Bad design, very difficult to install, manual is not clear, very difficult to get newborn in and out
I’m very disappointed with this thing. It is VERY difficult to install. The seat portion is attached with a steel cable to the base which makes it get in the way of installing. You can’t really get it out of the way. It keeps flopping over or pulling the base away when you are trying to install it. There is no documentation how to clip the latches onto the car fixing points. Do they go opening up or opening down ? The strap that goes over the car seat to the back anchor is shown to go between the headrest supports. What if the car has unmovable headrests ? the strap has to go around and tugs the whole thing lopsided. That back strap should be split so it can accommodate cars with fixed headrests. Tightening the straps is also a nightmare. you tighten tighten tighten and it’s still a floppy construction. there is no way to adjust the base incline. Ever seen an isofix mechanism ? one click and it’s done ! no belts, no straps no fuss.Then there is the whole seat itself. The manual points to the handles on the SIDE to change the incline in rear facing mode. The real latch is in the BACK of the seat. It took me 10 minutes to figure this out. Learn to draw instructions ! The drawing is misleading. The straps for the child have a sticky backing that makes it difficult to get her in properly. The seat is not removable from the base so you can’t use it as a child carrier and need to move it to a different carrier.( yet another purchase and cost). The handle to unlatch the rotation is very stiff and in a difficult to reach position. This thing doesn’t work. It took us 20 minutes to get the newborn in the set when trying to leave the hospital. The hospital almost did not let us go because we don’t have a baby carrier to take her from the room to the car seat (other systems have the seat removable to be used as baby carrier.) Moving this from one car to another is an ordeal. The rotation is a gimmick. It may work in a tall wide SUV with large door opening, in a regular sedan ? not so much. VERY displeased.

Worth every penny!
I did a lot of research & even returned another brand 360 seat before finding this one. I LOVE it. Baby is comfortable in it (used to scream every car ride and now is peaceful with a toy). It feels so secure and safe from a parent perspective. It is heavy and takes a bit to install, but we donât move it regularly so I donât mind. Also love that itâll turn all the way around when installed to rear face. We use that when parked at the gas station or waiting somewhere & it also helps me climb into the third row past the captains chairs! While itâs a little awkward to turn it with one hand, you can absolutely do it (hold the latch with your hand and use that shoulder/arm to nudge it). Will be buying another one when our second baby is ready!

Results with turning may vary – EXTREMELY HARD – Awkward belt function
This product is great, except my boy’s head is sweating when he wakes up from sleeping in the car seat. The one I got was on sale (33 percent off I think), and I’m pretty sure I know why (shame on this company and or seller if they just rebranded this as new – thanks for the sale though). Turning the seat, is EXTREMELY hard. It makes a loud click when it unlocks to turn, which I don’t think is normal. The only way to rotate this seat, is to use my shoulder or two hands. My wife cannot turn this thing without extreme effort one handed. The release button could have been better suited for release if it had more grip or something more to grab onto. Pinching power should not be required to release the locking mechanism/ To be fair, I don’t have any fear my boy would be spiraling out of control (spinning) for unknown reasons when sitting in this chair.The belt tightening system is lacking. If the belt isn’t prone or done in n a specific way. Good luck trying to get more belt to be released. The trick I had to use, was to lock the magnet belt, grip that part, then pull down while pressing the release tab. No where in the instructions did it say the belt release is like this.That being said, the seat is very secure and doesn’t wobble. Installation was cake. Seat is pretty heavy. My boy seems very comfortable with this seat as he’s always falling asleep in it.I may have just gotten a lemon. As I don’t see anyone else complaining about what I’m writing about.
