After 2 months with this seat, we’ve decided to look for another option. The seat itself is thoughtfully designed and has several nice features, but the connection to the base has been a consistent source of frustration.
As others have noted, the base is tall. In our Subaru Crosstrek, this means that with the handle upright, I have to tilt the seat at an awkward angle to avoid hitting the car door opening. More importantly, the seat does not click easily into the base. The natural angle…

Overview
Highlights
- Type of infant car seat: Rotating
- Weight capacity: 4-30 lbs
- Includes rear-facing infant car seat & base
Description
This popular lightweight rotating infant car seat features FlexiSpin 180° seat rotation technology. This makes getting little ones in and out of the car seat easier while reducing back strain.
The infant car seat also features TensionFix which solves the common installation problem of loose vehicle belt tension. A red-to-green indicator on the seat’s base shows you when the belt has tension.
You also don’t need to rethread the harness when baby grows, as the headrest and harness can be adjusted at the same time with one hand. Five recline positions help ensure a secure fit during installation.
The canopy design zips out to extend, providing full-coverage sun protection and privacy for little ones. Easy-to-use magnets secure the canopy to the car seat and won’t wake a sleeping baby.
For two-car families, you can get a second base (sold separately).

Nice seat, frustrating base

Mixed feelings
I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. I have some mixed feelings about this car seat. There are some cool features for sure. The rotation feature is obviously the one that stands out the most. I didn't appreciate this as much when my son was a newborn, but now that hes getting a bit bigger, it's been a game changer for getting him in and out of the car seat! The car seat itself is light and easy to carry, as well as very aesthetically pleasing. I've even…

Convenience meets luxury
My baby and I love this rotating car seat, it makes getting him out of the car so much easier. The fabric of the car seat is extremely soft and I love the color - it gives it a very expensive look and feel!

Game changer
We got this as part of a testing program, so yes it was free, here is my honest opinion about the product. The installation is a dream, especially for first time parents. It has a belt pathway that secures in place and keeps it from moving, it also has green/red indicators to tell you if it's tight enough, which is a big help in knowing your little is actually well secured, it also has a QR code showing you a video of how to get a proper install. The seat is super plush, reclinable and has an…

A truly great car seat!
We LOVE this car seat! The colors and fabric are premium, the padding is so plush and our baby looks so comfortable when he's in it. The installation is easy and the red/green indicators save you from wondering if it's installed properly-- SO HELPFUL! And the rotating is a game changer. Especially as my baby has gotten bigger, and heavier to maneuver. I highly recommend this car seat!

Since it only spins half way you'd think it'd only be half the price of an Emme 360 but after using it I can understand the price. It's very sleek and lightweight and I really appreciate the extended canopy as I dislike looking at my son's face while he cries.

Awesome Car Seat
I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. This is a great lightweight and easy to use car seat. Very easy to install as well. Imagine not bending into your car the entire time your buckling them in? The swivel seat is a must. High quality all the way around!

Luxury travel for baby, convenience for caregivers
I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. The Peri 180 Infant Car seat has completely changed my view of how comfortable and convenient travelling with my baby can be. I don't have to strain over the side of a tall car seat to adjust the harness or snap the buckle, I can simple glide the seat to face me. And if I want to place her in the matching stroller without disturbing her rest, I can smoothly release the seat from the base and slide it into the stroller…

Nice car seat, tough to get out of the base
I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. I definitely feel as if this would not be my first choice for car seats and the fact that I had such difficulty while trying to place the car seat in the base and take it out daily was a huge struggle. Im not saying that is a reason for someone not to buy the seat but as someone who has to be in and out of the car at least 4x a day, this was a huge deterrent for myself. It got super frustrating, and I felt like that…

So convenient
I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. The infant car seat is great. It helps to get baby in and out in a comfortable way because baby is delicate. The fabric is soft and comfortable. It is slightly bulky but I love how convenient it is to use this car seat. It is lightweight and compatible with stroller so it makes going out easier. Overall, it is a good infant car seat.
