What's a Convertible Car Seat?

Many parents choose a convertible car seat, sometimes called a transition car seat, which can be used for newborns, toddlers, and older children. The best-rated convertible car seat will always have a rear-facing mode to help protect newborns' and toddlers' heads, necks, and spines. Once your baby has outgrown their rear-facing convertible car seat, set it up in forward-facing mode, perfect for older children. A convertible car seat removes the need for an infant car seat as the rear-facing mode takes its place. Have you heard about a rotating convertible car seat, a type of rotating car seat? This style converts and swivels on its base to make getting your child in and out easier.
