Best of Baby Winner for Best Convertible Car Seat

And the Winner Is: Cybex Sirona S Convertible Car Seat

Sorry, but we won’t rock the boat. The Cybex SIrona S Convertible Car Seat is winning our top spot for the third year in a row. Simply put, the original rotating car seat still has our heart. It makes getting a heavy and wriggly babe or toddler into the car so much more convenient. Long gone are the days of reaching and straining; simply swivel the seat and to face you (it rotates a full 360 degrees), and get your little one situated. And rest assured that you’re still getting top-notch safety features, such as leg load technology, an anti-rebound panel, linear side impact protection and a SensorSafe chest clip, which alerts you to a number of unsafe situations.Easy installation and a host of amazing features make this convertible car seat a no brainer and a three-time Best of Baby editor fave.

What We Love

• This is the first—and in our opinion—best fully rotating convertible car seat on the market

• It has a number of outstanding features, including 12 recline positions that can be adjusted while in use, 12 height-position options, a no-rethread harness, a built-in cup holder and magnetic buckle holders to separate straps while you’re securing baby. Top-notch safety features include leg-load technology, an anti-rebound panel, linear side impact protection and a SensorSafe chest clip that lets you know if baby accidentally (or purposely!) unbuckles

• The Cybex Sirona S is easy to install: Angle indicators help you get it positioned just right, and an EasyLock bar ensures you don’t have to pull super-tight to get the seat securely in place

• Install it rear-facing, and then simply rotate the seat once baby’s ready to graduate to a forward-facing position
