An infant seat has a car seat (10, fig 1) mountable on a turntable 22 so that it can rotate on a base (20, fig 1), 24 mountable in a vehicle in a fixed orientation, where in at least one orientation of the turntable the turntable and seat can move together laterally. A retaining lug 30 has an elongate portion that when aligned with a guide slot 28 allows the lateral translational movement, and only allows rotation at a wider portion 29. This enables the seat to be facing backwards during travel, perpendicular to travel (T, fig 3) and then slid laterally for access from outside of the vehicle with less leaning. The seat can be mounted to supports 23, and locks to prevent inadvertent lifting or rotation.
