    We have 1 in each car. Got my wife the one that spins round to face the door and we cheaped out in my car with the normal one.

    Really wish we got 2 spinning ones. He is 2 now, and very heavy, and the spinning one is so much easier!

    We have the Joie 360. Been happy with it.

    We also did that, as he's in my car most. Agree the spin is much better, mine is also damn heavy (16kg on his 2nd birthday)

    When my youngest needed one we had the Joie 360 and it was a lifesaver the fact that it span round. I would highly recommend it (edited)

    Definitely a spin one! Have had a 360 now for two children, easy to strip down and chuck the covers in the wash too!

    I got the Babyauto which has the spin and to be frank we haven't found the need to use it.
    We would carry our baby in through the back passenger door and exit via door closest to the car seat. And as she got older, she likes going into the car with a little help and then jump into her seat.
