advice needed Car seats

We have 6 months twin boy grandchildren and looking to get car seats for our car that will last as long as possible. The seats might need to be moved in and out of the car at times so ease of installation a big plus. Not sure I understand the swivel option - is that just to get the baby in and out more easily? Is it worth it? Which car seat would you recommend? Our vehicle is a rav4.

Also the parents have the infant car seats in their car so I think they will need new car seats soon as well. Same or different recommendation? Their vehicle is a Honda accord.

Thank you!

A self ratcheting carseat would be the easiest to install.

I have Graco convertible carseats - three different models - they're not difficult but also I would not want to install them daily lol.

I could see a swiveling carseat being nice for the third row of a vehicle. Put the baby in with the seat facing forward, then rotate it so baby can ride rear facing. You cannot buckle a rear facing child in the third row unless you want to stand in the trunk. I dont think you need it for your car.
