2018 Forester 3011DS - Swivel Seats

[Gene Owens]

Hello, my 2018 had 2 booster seats for use when the driver and passenger seats are swiveled toward the rear. At the time of purchase I had no need to swivel these seats with the twin loungers right there. I need to be able to swivel one seat for a trip but I can't get the passenger seat to swivel - the push down button seems stuck - the passenger seat has a swivel base but the driver's seat does not and is a power adjustable seat - I "guess" the inclusion of 2 booster seats was a mistake??? Anyone else have a problem with the passenger seat swivel and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We have those 2 extra booster seats also. Why, no idea. The passenger seat swivels just fine for us. The drivers seat does not swivel. I have these foam ceiling "plugs" to help with cold or heat issues for the 4 overhead vents. Have used these to on the passenger seat, instead of digging around the overhead for the standard booster. Works for us.

No idea why your seat is stuck. Ours was tough to work at first, like it was stuck. Now, with use, it works too well. Keep giving it a try.

Hey thanks. I finally got my passenger seat to swivel - the handle did not have a yellow cover on the handle as some seem to have. Works fine now. The driver's seat has no swivel.
