I had the Maxi Cosi Pebble and now the Pearl, my LO has been fine with both! There's been short periods of time when he's been upset in the car but I don't think it was the car seat. I think the main thing that has helped is he loves to sing along to a specific playlist which I only let him listen to in the car.
Meillä oli Maxi Cosi Pearl telskalla ja sitten Britax Römer Max Way kahdella lapsella. Max Waysta sitte turvavyöistuimeen. Meillä kuopus tosin täyttää seitsemän, joten noita malleja ei taida olla enää myynnissä uutena. Mut molemmat merkit on olleet ok.
Sorry, recommendation incoming. I had a coral 360 for bub when they are a newborn, moved to a pearl 360 when they outgrew it. Coral 360 is brilliant because you pop the internal insert out of the car seat and can carry the baby wherever you need too. Love it, never regretted it. Initially I started with a cyber eezy twist 2. Good narrow pram, pain if you have two kids to expand. Bought a icandy orange second hand - wide, not as nice to drive BUT, easier to expand for toddler and baby. What I'm saying is, go to John Lewis, and then have a look at the second hand market. All the icandy stuff can be replaced (wheels, seats, etc) and there's loads out there for £100-£150. If you don't like, you'd be able to sell it on again and try something else.
I have these and we're 50-50 on the Pebble (one kid was fine as long as we were moving, the other would scream bloody murder for 49 minutes of a 50 minute car ride) but they both love the Pearl. Try changing car seats it might help. You also just reminded me: my first kid, if he was upset, could only be soothed with '5 little speckled frogs' and I remember desperately yelling it over the motorway noise one time when he was teething and wouldn't fall asleep in the car.
By rotating car seat do you mean as in the base in the car? If so we did the maxi-cosi pearl pro with 360 and sliding base, and uppababy makes the adapter for their strollers to be compatible with maxi cosi. We have the Cruz and then will get the minu later. At least here in Europe the maxi cosi car seat is flight and travel approved and works work both iso fix and a normal seatbelt.
I have used a Maxi-Cosi 360 of some sort, Cybex cloud z I-size and a sirona (interchangeable on same swivel base) and a seatbelt chomping one too, all on the back seats. For the isofix ones I bought an adapter from Bezos. I don’t put them in the front because they are savages and my front seats are custom upholstered recaros but I much preferred the stability of the isofix adapter.
I have the maxi-cosy 360 and its actually easier to move between cars than the infant car seat we had before
We like our maxi cosi 360. We have two, one for each car.
