Overview

Highlights

  • Includes rear-facing infant car seat & base
  • 180° seat rotation
  • Load leg and anti-rebound bar for added stability

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).

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!

Good concept. Not easy to use.
I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. I had trouble installing, straps were slippery so hard to fully tighten, and color showed dirt too easy.

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 extendable canopy feature, which is inside a zipper under the canopy, great for those of us that have a lot of sun and is needed for the stroller or the long car rides to keep the sun away from their little faces. Our old main car seat was a competing brand, but not rotating, and our daughter hated it, this one? Smiles from the get go!! It is very plush, my husband calls it a baby lazy boy! It reclines, it rotates which is not only convenient but also a game to my daughter and she loved it! I did put in a suggestion for different colors as my only "negative", because babies are messy and light colors tend to not live unstained for long. That being said it's washable and very easy to take apart and put again after it's done. Overall we loved the experience with this seat, so much so we upgraded to the next version!

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!

Best Infant Car Seat Hands Down
The Peri 180 has been a game changer for travel with my baby. I can't imagine life with a basic car seat now. The 360 rotation is amazing and makes getting my daughter in and out simple and seamless. It looks and feels luxe and is SO light and easy to carry.

Excellent
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 adapters. I know this, because I have done so without waking her. The fabric is so cushy and breathable, my baby almost always lulls into sleep minutes after we get going on the road, even if her sisters are less than quiet nearby. And, to me, the icing on the cake was when I just slid the headrest and harness up with a single motion instead of needing to take apart the seat cover and harness to rethread to adjust for her growth. Well done!

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 bothered me enough to not love the car seat as a whole. The rotating feature worked perfectly fine but I just felt like it wasnt worth the large-bulky base that it came with, which was hard for my older kids to get around in the car. If you dont need to worry about that, then its not a huge deal. The car seat itself was amazingly light. I was truly impressed and loved that part so much. Makes it easier to carry plus when having to put the car seat on to the stroller to connect them both, it was lighter than I expected (which is always nice). Overall not my favorite infant car seat, but a good sturdy one. Definitely consider all aspects of the car seat if you use it daily but know others may not have had the exact same experience as myself. This is just what I found to be true for his particular car seat. I truly don't know what I would do tell someone if they asked if they should buy it. I guess it would depend on their needs and desires in a car seat and how often it would be used.

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.
