Can you rotate the seat while the child is in it, or does it have to stay in a fixed position once they are seated?

Hi Michael. You can turn the seat while the child is in it, but is more difficult to do so. I did it all the time before my son outgrew the seat.

It can be rotated with the child in the seat. My daughter thought that aspect was great fun! :)

I am able to rotate my grand - daughter while in the chair. She is 10 months old. Need to be careful not to pinch tiny fingers though. We Love love love this chair. Think you will find it awesome as well!

I think the directions say you have to put it in the reclined position for rear facing. My son is 21 months and that still is how he sits (though I'm sure he's ready to turn around as soon as I am).

The mobile arm is fixed and does not rotate. Attaching it to the crib takes 2 seconds and a toddler could do it! You just position the base of the mobile between two crib slats, and on the back side you screw on a big plastic circle to hold it in place.

You should be able to. I've been using it with my son (and seat fully reclined) since about 2 months.

You really should remove the child as there isn't any great place to grab to lift the seat out with that much weight. However, you shouldn't need to turn them around if you encounter a lot of sun suddenly as the canopy is quite large and if that's still not enough there is a inner canopy that can fold out basically doubling the size of it.

This one does not rotate. It is not broken. One issue we had was with the gears to make music, it takes a lot to turn them. We end up having to turn it for our little one

I haven't tried it and don't know how it would be possible. Unless you could slide something underneath the seat (so the weight of the child and seat would hold it in place), I don't know how it would work.

The pedals continue to go around but it works fine. If your child has their feet on them it stays in place.

Yes. If the child is bouncing on it, it is possibe for it to shift. If the child is just standing on it, it is strong enough.

Yes, each chair has a knob that you twist, but as for mine they do not work that great. I twist the knob to lock the chair into position, and the chair does not stay in a fixed position, even the slightest movement will cause the chair to lose a fixed position. Occurs with both chairs.

The seat is actually on a screw--you rotate the seat to raise or lower the seat. It will rotate as long as you haven't reached the upper or lower stop.

The seat actually tilts. The seat and the backrest are fixed in relation to each other. When you lean back, the backrest goes back and the seat part tilts up to stay with it.

The seat spins pretty easily. It's just a matter of your baby figuring it out that it spins.

It rotates at the point where you see the circle on the cover. It is very sturdy and easy for my 8 year old to use. Hope that helps.

The back rest is not easily removed and I don't think a child could do it. If one child tries to remove the backrest while another child is sitting on the seat the suction will not hold and the child could fall off. I hope I am understanding the question correctly because I cannot imagine the situation!

The seat turns. There is a white tab that extends on one side of the seat. Lift the tab and the seat will turn in either direction. Neat! I use it all the time. Big Jim
