I love the britax dualfix. It spins which makes it so much easier to get my little girl in the car. The multi position is fab for use from birth till 4. The seat is black which can get a little hot but you can buy summer seat covers.
Was a little awkward to work out the change from lying back to upright initially but once I'd worked it out was easy. - Strengths:

I fell in love with this car seat front the get go, we only had a 3 door car and needed the swivel to get LG in and out. Although bulky and heavy it was quick and easy to insert into the car - the isofix bar doesn’t stay put you need to pull it all the way out then push one side in first. The seat covers all come off easily to wash (follow guideline instructions on material), and put on again. We chose this seat as LG is very petite and unlikely to be 18kg by the time she is 4. We are still rear facing it at 2.5 years old and have just bought one for LB who is 9 months. Price wise we got it when there was a slight sale on so didn’t pay the full price but I would pay full price without question.Read more - Strengths:

This is a great car seat we bought this as I have a bad back and wanted a car seat I did not have to take in and out of the car, instead I can swivel the car seat in any direction to get my baby safely in and out of the seat with ease, the only downside I would say is that it does not lie flat enough for a new born so had to use another car seat until he was big enough for the seat - Strengths:

We spent a long time thinking about the type of car seat we should get. When we saw this one it seemed perfect. I struggle with my back at times so not having to twist myself to get baby in an out is perfect. The infant insert was brilliant for bringing her home in. It’s a good solid, sturdy car seat and once it’s in your car you’re all set. It also will last her a long time which was another consideration when weighing up cost....”do we spend a little more now on one that will last longer or buy a cheaper one and need to replace it in a few months?”Read more
The only thing I would say is, for me, I think the head rest could have been a bit more padded but baby has never complained and it’s never been an issue (babies always seem so tiny at first in car seats.
All in all I love this seat! My daughter is happy and safe in it and my back is exceedingly happy! The rotation and recline are smooth and easy to navigate to make sure baby is in the correct position and the drop down leg is a great idea, really adds that extra firmness and stability you want when diving on the roads. Nice one Britax - Strengths:

Although this product is hard to install, and it's bulky, once it's on with, it's great. You can rotate the seat which makes it so much easier to get child/baby in and out. It's great that it can forward face and rear face.Read more
I have this in purple which is lovely.
You can also told the seat into a couple of recline positions. - Strengths:

I bought this as my little one was getting very snug in her car seat. And it's great. It's easy to use and able to move the seat around to help get my LO out of the car without hurting my back. The design I flawless and looks so comfortable. We went for the pink colour and next time would defo go for black as soon as she sat in the car she was sick and this has shown up. But it doesn't bother me too much as plan on having this for a few years.Read more
Before buying I checked to see if it would fit in my car and although it does its very snug and you have to have the front seats quite far forward for this to fit. It is extremely heavy and took two of us to fit.
I paid £224 for this an although it is pricey, if it goes up to 4 years then its not a lot in comparison.

Love the 360 degrees spin making it easy to put baby in the car. Like how it looks with the grey and black colours. The instructions are not great to fix the car seat in and it took 2 of us to figure it out. I don't like how the chest pads are so big for a small baby but like how they don't slip and move - Strengths:

Overall I love this seat. It is easy to install using isofix, it is a bit heavy but is great quality. It rotates all the way around, which means when there isn’t enough space to get my little one in on her side of the car, I am able to use the other side and rotate the chair. It has an easy to use latch to tilt the chair, but only tilts one notch. The button to rotate the chair is large and easy to press. The harness is secure, whilst still being easy to latch. My daughter is three and still happy in the chair.Read more
The only downside is that if my little girl falls asleep, you’re unable to tilt it enough so that her head doesn’t flop forward.
Overall I think that the chair is great value for money. - Strengths:

We have been using the dualfix 360 for a month now and we are really pleased with it. The rotating seat makes getting the baby in and out of the car so much easier, and is really easy to use. The seat is comfortable and should last for quite some time in an extended rear facing position. - Strengths:

I think overall this is a great car seat. My baby looks really secure in it which she didn't with her previous car seat, so I'm really happy with it. It can be rear facing until your child is 4, if you do want to be extra safety conscious.Read more
Getting babies in and out is so much easier as the seat spins 360 degrees. You just hold in a button while you move the seat and it swivels really easily.
My baby looks really comfortable in this seat although I do wish it would recline a bit more for extra comfort.
The only negative that I really bothers me is how much space this takes up in my car. With my baby and a 4 year old's car seat, there's no room for anybody in the middle (and we have quite a roomy car).
The price is generally between £200-£300 which seems to be normal for similar car seats however to me that's still a lot of money.
Overall it's a great seat and we've loved using it! - Strengths:

This product has been amazing from the moment my first daughter was born, the ease or being able to carry her to the care turn the seat and then place her in comfortably without having to awkwardly bend over her to plug her in, she is now 3 years old and this car seat and grown with her, to now facing forward she loves when we press the button and swivel round, an all round great car seat for newborns all the way up to 5 years old! - Strengths:

I have been using this car seat for nearly 3 months now and i love it! So easy to carry my son out, clip him in and swivel him round without having to reach round and fight with buckles. The seat is quite deep so baby sinks in and you know they are protected. I love that if one of us runs into a shop and we are in the car waiting, if baby starts crying i can swivel him round to pacify him then swivel back before we set off! The only issue i have is i don't think it reclines enough because sometimes when my son fall's to sleep his head flops forward.Read more

I have mobility issues so being able to rotate the seat rather than climb in or lean over makes putting my daughter in the car so much easier. She always hated car journeys but since we bought this she no longer screams.
It’s easy to use and fairly easy to clean. The only downside is there are no cup holders or play trays that I can fix to it now my daughter is a little older. - Strengths:

We have used this car seat for our 2 children. Its not the easiest to fix in to the car and gas a big bar to the floor which takes up a lot of room. The 360 rotation is fantastic and so handy but the seat isn't easy to get a sleeping child out of. I dont think it would be very comfy for a 4 year old rear facing, especially if they have long legs like my pair. I would definitely recommend it but I doubt I will keep it until my children are 4. - Strengths:

Absolutely brilliant car seat, I love it and so does my son who is now 3. Have used it since he was about 7 months old. It is very secure in the car and that makes me feel a lot safer with him in it. It is easy to rotate and recline. It’s quite large for taking in and out the car (not an issue if you rarely have to do this). This doesn’t necessarily bother me as it has a good hard shell which offers extra protection.

Really lobe this car seat and my little one has been in it since she was 8momths old... she's now nearly 3. It's great how you can change the seat position for each stage very easy and I love how it spins for easy access putting the child in and out. The only down fall is it's hard to take in and out of the car and once it is out it's very heavy. - Strengths:

We have used this car seat since my son was a newborn and he is now almost 3 and it's still in perfect condition.Read more
My favourite feature of this seat is the seat rotation, it makes getting in and out of the seat extremely easy. It's also useful for when or if you choose to forward face as there's no messing changing the car seat around. The seat fabrics are also easy to remove for cleaning.
My least favourite part of this car chair is that it doesn't have enough choice with reclining and I find when my son falls asleep in the chair his head flops down quite a lot as its quite upright. But that's the only issue I've had with the chair.
Overall I am very happy with the chair and would recommend to others.

Brought this car seat when my daughter was 9 months old and love this spinning action especially when we're having a fighting back kind of day! So much easier than the fixed rear facer in my mum's car. Bright colours and easy to clean fabrics.Read more
The recline is only 2 positions upright or laid back. If rear facing the laid back position allows spinning and vice versa for forward facing. The recline is also still upright so not suitable for younger children at all!

We all know the struggle of getting a 'determined' toddler into a car seat, well this car seat is perfect for helping out. The 360° swivel function makes life a lot easier! It's a back saver!Read more
With the insert, this car seat can be used for years!!!
It is one of the most expensive car seats however as you can use it through most phases it's actually good value for money.
Children can be rear facing past the toddler stage which is preferable from a safety perspective.
It is quite a heavy car seat so not recommending if you need to regularly transfer between cars.
On the whole we have been very happy with this car seat and can recommend it wholeheartedly. - Strengths:

Spacious and comfortable car seat, my daughters been in this for some long journeys and has always seemed happy in it. The swivel feature makes it so easy to get her in and out of the car.

I bought this car seat for my eldest son when he was 7mths old and had zero problems with it. He always looked so cozy in it. The recline is great and the ability to rear face until 18kg was what made me look at it.to begin with. The spin is invaluable and is so much easier to get in and out of seat. I used this right until my eldest turned 18kg then got it all washed and put newborn insert in for my newborn, who was born 2mths later. However, despite being advertised as being able to be used from birth, the straps where at their maximum tightening and nowhere near my 7lb baby boy! He is now 8wks old, nearly 9lb, and it is STILL too loose on him. Luckily I had my other car seat that I am using, until the straps fit him, but it is disappointing that it is not usable as advertised! Brtiax told me that they use 'average weight of a baby' when testing seats and told me I should use an infant carrier until the straps fit him.Read more - Strengths:
