Love this seat
My son looked super comfortable in it all the time and the fact that it spins makes it so much easier to get him in and out, this is now used as a spare as I opted for an ERF car seat to last him longer but would deffo recommend this seat as a budget option - Strengths:

Really great car seat, depending on your car it can be very easy to install, albeit a little bit heavy and bulky. The 360 function is smooth, and makes getting baby/toddler out of the car so much better.
I like how thick and padded the seat feels, so is comfortable for sitting. The bulkiness makes it feel sturdy and safe.
My only con is more car related than the seat itself. I have a 500X so installing was quite tricky due to the bulkiness. I couldn't get Infront of the car seat to click it in. The safety leg has no feature to keep it in place, so everytime you lift and move the seat, the leg drops right down which is annoying. That would probably be my only negative, that and the heaviness. So for me it's definitely not a car seat I want to be getting in and out of the car.
All in all, it's great value for money, as they often have money off them. - Strengths:

We got one of these for our second born and I could not understand why we hadn’t got one for our first born. It makes putting your child in the car so so easy. Such a clever idea that works perfectly. Would definitely recommend. I wouldn’t buy any other type of car seat now for any future babies. - Strengths:

We brought this seat for my eldest and it was so much easier to get him in and out of whilst he was facing you. At the time my husband had a 3 door car and he said it was hard to reach to turn the seat without having to climb in the back too. Just moved our 5 month old into the seat and he is so much happier in it than his carrier so it must be comfortable. - Strengths:

The best of the best (in my opinion) I don’t know why I didn’t get this for my other 2 ! It’s the best car seat we’ve had by far! It makes life so much easier ! Baby goes in and out so easily, no struggling in the car to plug the seat in and knocking your head trying to get little one out !
The one downside is it’s very heavy and awkward to carry, if you need to put it in another car ! Luckily that’s a rare occasion so it isn’t too annoying

This is one of our best purchase! It makes getting in and out of the car so much easier, especially in small spaces. Our little boy is very comfortable and safe. It reclines if he falls asleep, which could be a little smoother to use but it’s fine. It turns really easily and it’s easy to loosen the straps and get him in and out; we have a similar car seat in my husbands car from another brand which is not nearly as good, we should have bought the Joie again!! - Strengths:

I bought this car seat due to having a 3 door small car and thought the spin function would make my life so much easier. So far so good. It spins 360 so I can access the seat much easier. I sometimes have slight difficulty finding the release for the spin function and get it mixed up with recline but that’s not really the car seats fault. I would buy this again.
Shame it doesn’t adjust to last longer than 4 ish years. - Strengths:

This car seat was one of my best buys for my little one. The 360 spin is so easy to use and you can recline to different settings. It feels very comfortable and safe. The best thing about this product is it lasts for years. As it grows with your child

I bought the car seat for my Son in halfords check with the salesman if my car was suitable for this car seat. Once we got home my husband and I really struggled to fix it in to my car.
I had to push forward my front passenger seat now the knees of the passenger is touching the glove box.
I love this car seat really easy to use but bit shame my car is not suitable for this car seat.
I will say the straps keep twisting a bit annoying.

Absolutely love this car seat. A must have purchase for any parent. The 360 function just makes life so much easier, less strain on your back when getting baby in and out of the car. My child always falls asleep instantly in this car seat so must be very comfortable as she hated her old one. The legs straps are low on the top of the leg, but after having it checked, this is normal. It is a little more expensive then other seats, but well worth it. 10/10 stars. - Strengths:

We love this car seat, it looks great and my 3yr tells me it’s very comfortable..!! The only downside I have is that it’s a very squeaky seat, especially when there’s no child in there - it can sometimes rattle around..apart from that it’s great and we can’t wait to start using it for our newborn once the eldest progresses onto the next size. - Strengths:

Great product. Purchased for my 28 month old as I am heavily pregnant with no. 2 so this helps getting him in and out. It will also help while I'm in recovery after birth. My son loves it and finds it very amusing to spin. Great that it's rear and front facing and goes up to a good age. Easy to use. Easy to remove the covers and wash. LOVE IT! - Strengths:

This product makes transitioning my son in/out of the car so much easier in comparison to our other car seat! Simply could not be without it! The tilt mode is also really handy to encourage them to sleep on longer journeys.
Can be a bit of a pain moving the seat in to other cars due to its weight and size but given the security and ease of use this is something that is manageable if you don't have to constantly do it. - Strengths:

I love this product as it will last from newborn upwards! So easy to use and stops you from getting a sure back lifting a heavy toddler!! It is very heavy when transferring in and out of car when needed.

Defiantly a good investment. This product can grow with the baby meaning whilst it's more expensive at first in the long run it saves you money and time. The chair is well padded and comfortable. The infant insert worked so well with our son and was easy to remove when he had grown out of it. I find fastening it a bit fiddley compared to other car seats, my husband dosent have any issues but if you had any dexterity problems this car seat would be difficult to buckle. I find my sons head dosent flop forward in this seat as it seams to in others when he falls asleep. The seat is bulky so the seat it's fitted behind can't go back to far, if you had long legs this may be problematic. The isofix base I find so reassuring, it has a green indicator to show its fitted properly. I feel this is much safer than fixing the car seat with a seat belt as its easy to check with a glance its fitted correctly. The only issue being with the base it dosent move out of the car. This is mainly only an issue because I don't drive
When people have offered me a lift I don't have a seat that we can use and if he falls asleep you can't then take it out of the car with him in it like you can with some other brands. However the 360 feature means that is so much easier putting him in. There's no stretching required and means that if the seat is on the side closest to traffic or its cold you can spin the baby around and easily buckle them inside the car. Overall we are really pleased and would recommend this seat. - Strengths:

I absolutely love this car seat, it is so comfortable and has been great for my son who is now two and a half. The spin feature makes it so easy to get him in and out and make sure he is strapped in correctly. This car seat has been perfect for keeping him rear facing and will also be great when he finally forward faces, it’s so easy to spin round and there are many different positions it can go in. For example, it can lie back when he is sleeping. The straps and position of the headrest is so simple to adjust and keep at the correct height as they grow. We chose the black and grey seat and I absolutely love the colour and design of it. The car seat is also easy to wash, wipe down and keep clean. The only downfall would be that sometimes I do struggle to get the car seat in and out of the isofix connections but that isn’t a big deal as most of the time it stays in my car and doesn’t need to move.

So glad we got this seat for my daughter, she is very comfertable in it, the isofix base is super easy to install and the spin fixture is what every car seat needs!

I have used several car seats and so far this is my favourite by far. I have a bad back and the spin feature makes it so easy to put my daughter in especially when shes fighting. It is also extended rear facing which is so much safer than forward facing, the only downside is its to 18kg not 25kg. Its isofix so theres no messing around with seatbelts and is really comfy for my daughter. Joie also do extra im house safety testing past the minimum standard tests to legally sell a seat. - Strengths:

My car doors open a different way making it very hard sometimes if a car is too close to me. With the spin my daughter could be fitted in very easily even if the gap was small and strapped properly, something i couldn't do with a non spinning rear facing car seat. Shame it only goes to 18kg which she outgrew aged 3.5 so moved her to a forward facing seat after that. - Strengths:

Fabulous car seat, my daughter absolutely loves it, it's so snug and comfortable but remains safe to use! Easy to wash all parts. I have used the equivalent from joie that doesn't spin and this seat makes it so much easier and I personally feel it's easier to ensure my daughter is safe and secure in the spinning car seat as the seat does not move from the fixtures when tightening.

I've had this car seat for 2 weeks now but so far, I really like it! It's comfortable and padded so my baby sleeps soundly when in the car. I love the spin action as I was previously straining my back to try and get baby in the car causing pain which you don't need when you've just birthed a child! There are reclining positions so as baby gets holder, they can sit upright or tilted. It spins 360 degrees as it says so it doesn't matter which side of the car you put it in! Love that it can be rear facing until 4 years old which is obviously the safest way. The design is great, you can remove parts as baby grows so they're still comfortable and secure. - Strengths:

I absolutely love this car seat it completely takes the hassle out of getting a baby in and out the car as it's so easy to spin! I did have a little trouble getting it into the isofix as my arms aren't biggest to get both buttons but I managed it. I love how it doesn't matter which side the car seat goes either as it twists both ways and then it's easy to convert it from rear facing to forward facing! - Strengths:

We have used this car seat for the last 2-3months (since my daughter was 7m). We have it in black and find the design to be attractive. The spin feature is really great- especially when baby begins to wriggle and fiddle with straps. Very easy to spin into position. Feels premium and really safe- baby can recline which is perfect for long journeys. I found it a little tricky getting it in the car... the base is bulky as well as the seat itself and although we have a good sized car it does take up a lot of room leaving little leg space in the front passenger footwell. The main bug point for me is the straps! The padding on the straps is very high up (sits more on shoulders than chest) which isn’t ideal. Also the straps twist easily and are hard to reposition back. It is really easy to tighten/loosen the straps though which is handy. Overall, a safe and sturdy product which is comfortable for baby and practical for regular use, but definitely not suitable for small cars and particularly bulky. - Strengths:
