Does anyone have a seat that spins easily? At what age can a baby turn the seat even if it is hard to turn?

mine doesn't spin as easily as others that we've used but my baby is only 6 mos so i'm not sure if it'll work better when she gets bigger

My granddaughter is 10 months old and it depends on which toy she wants to use on how much she turns. This exersaucer does not move as freely as the other one she has, but I think this one helps with the strengthening of her legs because of that fact. She loves to bounce and this one does that great.

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

I think a lot of depends on the baby. Our son was able to spin it easy around 10 mos. He could always get to the toy he wanted but it sometimes took a bit more effort to turn to it. I was happy that the seat wasn't too easy to spin. I always felt like my son was in control of where he was and if he wanted to turn he could.

Hi....my 8 month old grandson loves his. He can sit up by himself and always gets buckled in securely. The front caster wheel makes for easier steering.

Not positive on weight limit. I can sit on it at 8 months pregnant -at 125lbs though it's probably not recommended for regular use =) lol - My son uses this he's 19months and 27lbs. No other noises like horn, bells, beeps, etc other than the "motor" wheel sound which reminds me of a louder version of a remote control car. It is still not fully able to use by my son as he is really developmentally unable to conceive turning and thus only goes straight. It's very sturdy, built well. What/who are you thinking of this for - an older child?

The swing can go any way you push it, meaning that it can spin if you want it to. Our grandkids are 3 & 10 and both can ride at once (it's the best swing out there for the money, will last a long time and the kids absolutely love it!. I recommend that it not be spinning too much since it does it pretty effortlessly and kids will get dizzy fast. I am always there to keep an eye on the little one. Hope that helps you.

My baby is 4 month old and it still works for me. I think that if your baby is 6 month you should only be careful because at that age they may want to stand up. You should also review your baby height and how it works comparing the chair dimensions, so that it would not be too small for you.

My youngest daughter started using the seat at 17 months. I also have another daughter who is four years old and still uses the seat.

I have a three-year-old and this is pretty heavy and when you do turn it does not turn to fast. She has not to Really tried turning it to often. I don't think there is a good way not hook up without swivel. Maybe put side u will use least up against wall so u can't turn until she gets older.

My daughter is 20 months old. We got this for her when she was 16 months old and te seat was perfect then. Although she is very tall, the seat is not too, too low but she has no interest in sitting on it at this point now that she is at that "independent" age. She wants to be like the older kids and ride the scooter standing. With that being said, it is great to have the circular handle because it's easier for her to use than the regular bar.

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.

There are no set rules for flipping this mattress for a toddler. The infant side is the more firmer side which is recommended for infants. My granddaughter is 15months old now and weighs 22lbs and we haven't flipped it yet. There's not a huge difference from one side to the other. We will flip the mattress when granddaughter moves into a youth bed around age 2. Good Luck. By the way, this crib mattress has held up beautifully with no sags, tears etc. Very satisfied with the quality for the price. Good Luck

I'm glad you called Britax and they gave you a good answer. A 15 month old is way to young for this seat, even if he does meet the minimum weight limit. Age is more important than weight. I have on for my 5.5 year old (he has been using it since he was 3.5) and its a great seat for him.

It twists towards the direction you guide it towards. As for spinning, I'm not sure if a kid would have enough strength and coordination to push off and tuck his/her legs in to spin freely. I do, however, think that if a kid should sit on it and guide himself/herself by taking small side steps to rotate around, that would be possible. ultimately, it's not a child's toy and for safety reasons it should not be treated as such.

My granddaughter is 8 months old and over 20 lbs, so large for her age. She's also very wiggly and constantly moving and I've had no problems with her in the high chair, no wobbling or tipping at all. I do, however, usually use the large tray positioned fairly close to her, which does help to restrict any extreme movement. I'm very happy with this chair, and would recommend it.

My baby just turned 10 months she is comfy in it. Especially after I took the pads off in the shoulders. I can't help you with the car but I do have a huge SUV and it's still tight but honestly any car seat is..... any safe car seat is going to be tight. Once you turn it around you will be fine. I put mine behind my seat which is why I say it's tight o can't move my seat back much that's my only issue hope this helps. It's a great seat I'm glad I chose it. Safest one out there beats all of them.

Yes. My 18 month old has flipped his backwards several times and completely accidentally, he obviously tries to be more careful but if he is backing up and something is in the way it can cause it to flip backwards. Also if they try to lean to much forward, say to pick something up off of the floor, it will flip forward. They are really light weight which is great because its easier for toddlers to maneuver but not so great when it comes to flipping.

It's pretty easy to steer as long as the weight limit is within the recommended. Pushing my two little ones (3 and 16 mos) is easy but if my 55 lb girl wants to get in, it's very hard to steer. Love it, complaints are minimal.

I started using this seat when my son was about 3 months old, as long as he can hold up his head.
