I have two dogs (blue heeler and blue heeler /collie ) and the blue heeler is a bit more of my wild child.

They have free access to the back yard almost all day unless we aren’t home or they have “earned” them selves a break. Typically by barking too much at people passing by or my blue heeler and our neighbors dog will “attack” the fence. We are currently trying to correct this but is difficult.

My blue heeler specially LOVES to be outside. So I want to improve our yard.

I don’t feel our backyard is very interesting to our dogs. I want to make it a bit more sensory and enrichment friendly. I know that won’t fix any issues with their barking/reactiveness with the neighbors dog but hoping it might fulfill them a bit more to be less interested in other things happening?? Even if it doesn’t help it would be nice for them to have things to enjoy and better quality of life.

What are something things you have in your yard for your dogs? I’ve seen people do things like sniff stations or dig pits ( not my fav idea 😂) but i need some inspo!!

For a little bit of context my baby just turned 6 months old. I currently have been using the Joie Rue infant car seat because we wanted a travel system.

I have a feeling baby HATES this car seat. Always has red marks from straps and always feels like he is over heating (possibly in combination that he screams the whole car ride😢) he’s is close to out growing the height limit for this car seat so I’m looking into getting a rotating car seat!

I don’t have very many limitations as for size /weight of the car seat. I DO want something more comfortable / breathable for him. I know this can be subjective but any input is welcome. Our back seat is pretty spacious and we don’t move the car seat around very often.

These are the ones I’m considering but just not sure how to pick since they are a bit more pricey and will be in use longer than the infant car seat.

Nuna Exec (I know this doesn’t rotate, but my hubby was intrigued by this one)

Joie Matcha OR Saffron (hesitant on these due to expirence with infant seat)

Which ones have you tried or do you recommend between these?! Is rotating seat worth it? (We are both able bodied so would just be a convenience future for us.)

TLDR:
Which rotating car seat do you suggest ?
