  "title": "Rotating car seat fit when a vehicle headrest is in the way",
  "question": "Will a rotating car seat fit in a vehicle if the vehicle's headrest is in the way?",
  "answer": "No checked fact addresses a vehicle headrest directly. The closest fit information is about front-to-back space and clearance for rotation, which may vary by vehicle. Britax Galaxy360™ Slim Rotating Convertible Car Seat: Expert hands-on testing found that, after Britax expanded the permitted recline range, the seat could sit more upright and used roughly the same front-to-back space as two other rotating seats tested. About half an inch of clearance was left so it could rotate without touching the front seat; results may vary by vehicle.",
