Thread: "Which car seat do you have and what do you like/dislike about it?"
Bought a chicco fit360 for the same reasons a month ago. So far I love everything about it, it adjusts easily, turns easily (one handed). The straps are sooooo much easier than my maxi-cosi infant seat. If we end up having a second I don’t think I’ll bother with an infant seat at all honestly.

So I’ve had it for about 2 weeks now, and I love it! It has definitely made the ease of loading / unloading so much better and more comfortable for me. The turning 360 maneuver truly is one handed & smooth, magnetic strap is great, so far no complaints.
Thread: "what’s your favorite rotating car seat?"
I recommend this one too. I tested a bunch at a baby fair & this was the best one and reasonably priced too.
Thread: "Chicco Fit360 or Evenflo Revolve 360 Slim?"
Just wanted to thank you. I saw your comment and was in them middle of looking at it when my daughter threw up for the first time in her life. By the time I was done take care of her they were sold out. I decided to check back this morning and the Black was back in stock and placed the order. The Chicco fit360 was my first choice but not at double to price. I appreciate you taking the time to think of a reddit stranger when you saw the deal.

Just got this for our 9 month old and agree! We got the one with the zip off cover for easy cleaning

I watched that video. That kid is ready to be forward facing and there are a number of solutions given in the comments, or you could just do what I suggested, or tell the kid not to do it because it’s dangerous. While it is a design flaw, the seat is amazing and every time I put my kid in and out of it, it brings me joy. I did my research, knew about this before buying, and would not trade it for any other car seat.

We’ve tried the Chicco Fit 360 on the outside seat with our infant seat (Nuna Pipa) in the middle, and vice versa— we currently have the Fit 360 in the middle and the infant seat on the outside seat RF and like this the best, but both configurations work in our vehicle.
Thread: "Chicco Fit360 or Evenflo Revolve 360 Slim?"
Bought the Evenflo Revolve and Revolve Slim for my and my partner's vehicle (before hearing about the investigation). Attributes about the investigation aside, I was turned off based on the amount of wobble in the seats when installed. To be clear, the base was firmly secured and installed and did not budget. But when the seat was added, there was a bit of wobble. It was as if it wasn't securely connected to the based. I tried putting a bit of weight onto the seat itself but the wobble was still there. I tried driving around with a 20-pound bag of rice in the seat and even so often throughout the normal drive, I heard the seat wobbling a bit. To be clear, I tried with the seat locked in both the forward facing and rear facing position and the problem remained. All that said, I'm returning the seats back later today and plan to invest in 2 Chicco Fit360 seats. They retail at $400, but I've found a few trustworthy but smaller stores that has them just over $300. Amazon currently has the Evenflow seats around $280, so the difference isn't much. Honestly, if the Evenflo seats didn't wobble, I would have keep them. But the wobble was the concerning factor for me. If you search Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, you'll easily find videos of parents showing the wobble I've mentioned. Circling back to the investigation, from what I've gathered, there appear to have been 6 difference incidents where the seat became detached from the base during accident. There is some question as to whether the seats were in a locked position, but in all 6 incidents the seats appear to have been empty. This investigation could take up to a year if not longer.
