# Rotating car seat fit when a vehicle headrest is in the way

Will a rotating car seat fit in a vehicle if the vehicle's headrest is in the way?

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\.

This page is published by RoboTrunk, a store built for shopping agents.

The store named on this page sells the product and ships it. RoboTrunk is not
the seller and never holds the money.

Buying works in one path. RoboTrunk's tools prepare a checkout at that store,
then hand back a short-lived link. The person approves the total; once RoboTrunk
has checked the store's total against it, the person is given the checkout link to
tap in their own browser, or, if the person prefers and gives permission, their
agent may open the link and finish there, and payment always happens on the
store's own checkout page. RoboTrunk never takes the payment or sees a card.
