Advice for car seat that swings around for low roofs.

Starting to flatten the curve of my 1 year old's head. Can anyone recommend a car seat which is suited to low roofs? (Model 3) Perhaps one that pivots to the side?

Ah, I (or my daughter) feels your pain - the jolie360 was a great solution and we ended up changing to these in both cars. So much easier to get them comfortable and buckled up.

Only downside is the seat sits quite high which wasn’t a problem in my wife’s car, but made it a little cramped in mine (mk3 focus ST) so I changed to a recaro toddler seat as soon as little one was big enough.wife is still using it in her car though and never grumbles about it.

Thanks for the tip! I ordered the Joie, looks like the best option for the price range, especially as it includes the isofix part (I think?)

Sitting high should be okay if it can rotate to the side.

Another recommendation for the Joie 360. Fits nicely with a Focus ( and not very surprisingly an S-Max). I would also add that as I raise and lower child into the car I do get a childs head / car door frame bump occasionally...

In random news - when mashed banana (I think) gets into the buckle and it gets rather stiff, but is easy to clean with the correct screwdrivers.

The little one is very happy with his new spinny seat
