  "question": "Which convertible car seats allow the seat to be reclined for a newborn in the rear-facing position?",
  "answer": "Britax Galaxy360 Slim Rotating Convertible Car Seat (Galaxy 360 Slim): Early owners felt it was too reclined rear-facing even at the most upright allowed setting; Britax then widened the rear-facing recline range so it can sit more upright and take less front-to-back room, retroactively for all seats, with new labels available from Britax for earlier ones. Newborns can use the seat from 5 lb; head and middle inserts are for 5-11 lb and the lower insert is required rear-facing from 5-22 lb.\n\nBritax One4Life ClickTight All-in-One (sold by megababiesusa.com): After installing the seat twice, including after a car change, the tester found the three-step ClickTight belt install genuinely easy; getting the recline right took the most time. With an infant doll, the harness sat only just below the shoulders at the lowest headrest setting with all the padding in, so very small newborns may need an infant seat first.",
