BRITAX® AMERICAS DEBUTS FIRST ROTATING CAR SEAT AT CHICAGO AUTO SHOW

Galaxy360™ Slim Rotating Convertible Car Seat Reveal

CHICAGO, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Britax^®, a global leader in child passenger safety, proudly unveiled its first-ever rotating car seat for the U.S. market — the Galaxy360™ slim rotating convertible car seat — today, at an exclusive media preview at the 2026 Chicago Auto Show.

Designed to elevate the parent-loved rotating car seat category, the Galaxy360™ combines effortless rotation with enhanced stability and intuitive use. The seat turns smoothly, a full 360 degrees with one hand, thanks to the Britax-exclusive SwivelSmooth™ steel ring, while a secure, one-piece design means that the seat and base stay connected at all times. Built to grow with children through rear- and forward-facing stages, the Galaxy360 offers an extended rear-facing capacity up to 50 lbs, along with trusted safety features including high-strength steel in the base and an integrated anti-rebound panel.

"It's incredibly meaningful and a point of personal pride to see Britax expand our portfolio with the Galaxy360™ rotating convertible car seat, especially as we celebrate 60 years of manufacturing car seats," said Nancy Heaton, President, Commercial Americas at Britax.  "Debuting it here at the Chicago Auto Show makes this moment even more special. This category expansion helps us meet families where they are today, with smarter design and uncompromising safety."

The Galaxy360™ is designed to simplify installation, featuring an auto-opening design, QuickStand™ seat prop that holds the seat up and out of the way, and ClickTight® technology that automatically tightens and locks the seat belt for a confident installation in seconds. Designed to reduce common installation mistakes, Galaxy360™ also includes a built-in tether indicator that helps caregivers confirm proper tether use from the start - eliminating the need to remember to attach it later. The tether can be used in both rear- and forward-facing modes to support best practice.

Early research feedback has praised Galaxy360 for its intuitive design and consumer-friendly features, reinforcing Britax's continued focus on innovation that supports modern families. From proper-use indicators and easy-clean shell surfaces to washer- and dryer-friendly, naturally flame-retardant fabrics in modern, neutral tones – every detail is intended to simplify daily use without compromising comfort or safety.
