For those who have struggled to transport a baby or toddler in and out of their car seat, rotating car seats have innovated the way we travel with our littles ones. The rotating feature allows for ease of swivel-and-carry motion, whilst a 360° rotation can twist to forward-facing and offer the flexibility for extended rear-facing.

Why the Maxi-Cosi 360 range vs CYBEX Z line?

Rotating car seats are becoming increasingly popular so it can be confusing to know what’s the difference between them, and which one would work best for your family. At Natural Baby Shower, we want to share two of our favourite, top-selling rotating cat seat lines; Maxi-Cosi 360 and CYBEX Z range. Similar in nature, we love the comprehensive features on both of these car seats that make them family favourites for millions of new parents.
