What Are Rotating Car Seats And How Do They Benefit Parents?
Rotating Car Seat Joie Car seats have evolved dramatically since 1985, the year car seats became mandatory in every U.S. state. At first, car seats improvements made them significantly safer for children and then, with the widespread adoption of the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system in 2003, more convenient for parents as well. One of the most recent major advancements in car seat technology came in 2007 with the introduction of the first rotating car seat, a product category not yet very well-known in the United States. Rotating car seats swivel on their base to face the door, where you can then place your child in the seat and buckle them in. Then, you swivel the seat back to its rear- or forward-facing position. Rotating car seats are capable of swiveling between 90 and 360 degrees, depending on the model. While the primary function of the car seat remains safety, rotating car seats introduce a significant layer of convenience and ergonomic benefit that is resonating deeply with parents navigating the daily challenges of childcare. I discovered rotating car seats when I was struggling with severe chronic postpartum back pain. My challenge as a single parent was that after a cesarean section, I was trying to limit my lifting and strain. While travel systems – car seats that separated from their base to become baby carriers and snap into a stroller – were convenient, they required me to lift more weight than I was supposed to the first eight weeks after my daughter was born. A rotating car seat allowed me to strap my baby in without bending my body around awkwardly, it was much easier than twisting and reaching to get my daughter secured. The benefits continued as my infant became a toddler. Buckling harnesses becomes less of a battle when you can comfortably face your child and connect eye-to-eye, offering a smoother and quicker process and ensuring proper strap placement and tightness. For parents with two-door cars or vehicles with a third row, rotating car seats can be especially convenient. While my Mini Cooper is the four-door verseion, given its small size, a rotating car seats made a huge difference. Claire Smith, a Certified Child Passenger Safety Advocate at Joie , explains how rotating car seats work during an email interview. She offers that, in addition to the ease of loading and unloading children, some parents also note that it makes it much easier to avoid accidentally hitting a child's head on the top of the car while loading them in their car seat. 'The rotating feature makes it so much easier to get your child into and out of the car seat.' For parents with physical limitations or those recovering from childbirth, the benefits are even more pronounced. With a simple rotation, the child and the car seat swivels to the side, facing the caregiver. This eliminates the need for strenuous leaning, twisting and reaching, significantly reducing the strain on backs, shoulders, and necks – a welcome relief for parents already dealing with the physical demands of raising young children. Rotating car seats tend to be slightly heavier than static car seats, so the initial installation might require some help for parents with physical limitations. Car Seat Safety Remains Paramount Safety, of course, remains paramount. In passenger cars, car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71 percent for infants and by 54 percent for toddlers . Rotating car seats undergo the same rigorous testing and adhere to the same safety standards as traditional car seats. It's crucial for parents to ensure proper installation, following the manufacturer's instructions meticulously, regardless of the seat's rotating capabilities. According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study , 48 percent of parents and caregivers incorrectly installed their child's car seat. Rotating car seats may be more expensive than some traditional models. Alisa Baer, MD, a pediatrician and co-founder of The Car Seat Lady , shared in a written response that costs is one of the reasons more people don't have rotating car seats. 'Currently the least expensive rotating seats are at least $250.' As technology advances and demand increases, a wider range of rotating car seats may become available at various price points, making them more accessible to a broader audience. Baer points out other drawbacks to consider, 'Some seats push forward as they rotate, which means that you may have to move the front seat up in order to swivel it. If you are installing two car seats side by side (or three-across), there likely won't be sufficient room for any of the seats to rotate, even if you use a slim one.' And safety, as with all car seats, is essential. 'Caregivers might be tempted to let the child ride side-facing so they can see better out the window – this is very dangerous, but I've seen it done. While walking in my NYC neighborhood, a car drove by with a child riding sideways in a rotating car seat.' Rotating Car Seats Growing In Popularity The first rotating car seat launch happened in Europe and the technology is only now gaining momentum in the United States. Smith is optimistic, 'Rotating car seats are still relatively new to the U.S, market. We're seeing a large number of parents selecting a rotating seat these days, though, as parents learn more about them.'

How to save money at Tesco EVERY little helps when it comes to saving money at Tesco. The Sun's Head of Consumer Tara Evans explains how you can save money at the UK's biggest supermarket. Clubcard points Tesco first launched it's loyalty scheme back in 1995. You get one point for every £1 you spend in store. If you spend points in store then 100 points is worth £1. You can spend your points via its reward partners and get triple and even sometimes quadruple the value. Extend Clubcard points You can find lost Clubvcard points and find the last two years of unused vouchers by logging into the Tesco Clubcard site. Clubcard prices If you don't have a Clubcard then you will miss out on its cheaper Clubcard prices. However, don't forget to check prices before you shop because it might not be cheaper than elsewhere, especially on big value items like washing powder and loo roll. Yellow stickers Shops do vary the time they reduce groceries with yellow stickers but Tesco tends to be between 7pm and 9pm. Save money if you shop online If you get your Tesco food shop delivered then it might be worth buying a delivery saver pass to help cut the cost of delivery fees. If you live near a Tesco then you can get click and collect slots of as little as 25p, so it might be cheaper than getting your food delivered.
