A swiveling infant car seat with an infant restraint device comprises a pedestal formed with a circular opening bordered by a lip to which a base is connected for distribution loads therebetween. A substantially circular base for a seat is formed with a groove around the periphery of an annulus which receives the inner periphery of the anchor plate therein to the seat to the pedestal. The base includes a pivot plate, an anchor plate, and a retainer plate for holding the pivot plate in swiveling relationship with the anchor plate. The seat is reclinably attached to the base for orientation at select inclinations, and a latch mounted on the pedestal is engageable with the base to selectively hold the seat in either a forward facing or a rearward facing orientation. A rearward member is also mounted to the rear of the pedestal and a pair of diametrically opposite, grooved receptacles are provided on the base for receiving a tongue of the rearward member to maintain the integrity of the seat in the event the automobile in which the seat is mounted is involved in a collision.
