Britax® Introduces Galaxy360™ Slim Rotating Convertible Car Seat

FORT MILL, S.C. (Feb 5, 2026) — Britax®, a global leader in child passenger safety, is proud to announce the launch of its most anticipated product of the year — the Galaxy360™ slim rotating convertible car seat. This 2-in-1 seat marks Britax’s entrance into the fast-growing rotating convertible category, combining trusted safety technology with 360-degree functionality to support families through the infant and toddler stages.

Galaxy360 brings a new level of confidence, because your world revolves around them. The seat rotates a full 360° with one-hand, allowing caregivers to easily load and unload their child without straining or twisting. Building on the parent-loved rotating car seat design, the Galaxy360 also features the Britax-exclusive SwivelSmooth™ steel ring with an innovative wheels-on-steel system that delivers an effortless glide, while enhancing stability through a secure, one-piece seat-to-base connection.

“With Galaxy360, our goal was to elevate both safety and ease of use,” said Quentin Walsh, Director, Engineering – Car Seats. “The SwivelSmooth steel ring and secure one-piece design offer a new level of innovation to help simplify travel while protecting what matters most.”

Built for Protection. Engineered for Ease.

The Britax Galaxy360 grows with children from infancy through early childhood — rear-facing from 5–50 lbs and forward-facing from 30–65 lbs. The seat’s slim 17” profile and intuitive features make it ideal for growing families and varied vehicle sizes. For easy adjustments and adaptability, Galaxy360 includes six recline positions that can all be used in both rear and forward-facing positions, plus an 11-position no-rethread harness.

Offering an intuitive, parent-friendly installation, the Britax Galaxy360 features an innovative self-opening design that lifts the seat up and out of the way for easier access during setup. The Britax-exclusive QuickStand™ seat prop holds the seat securely in place, while ClickTight® technology offers an ultra-accessible belt path with an automatic seat belt tensioner and lock-off to help parents install the seat quickly and confidently — without the struggle. Trusted safety features include high-strength steel in the base and an integrated ReboundReduce™ panel for rear-facing crash energy management.

“As a product engineer, I spend a lot of time listening to parents describing their car seat challenges,” said Angela Stacey, Sr. Project Lead Engineer. “With Galaxy360, we translated that feedback into a smarter, more intuitive experience — from the effortless rotation and slim 17inch design to the simple, secure ClickTight installation and a system of proper-use indicators that help parents feel confident every step of the way. It’s not just about the swivel; it’s about delivering reassurance through thoughtful design, trusted safety, and long-term comfort in one sleek solution.”

Naturally Flame-Retardant, Parent-Friendly Fabrics

Every Galaxy360 comes equipped with a SafeWash® cover that’s safe to machine wash and dry, making cleanup easy for busy parents. The fabric is naturally flame-retardant with no added FR chemicals, offering peace of mind without compromising safety. Breathable knit materials and built-in ventilation also help keep children cool and comfortable on every journey.

A Milestone Launch for the Brand

The Galaxy360 represents a pivotal expansion for Britax, which has been protecting families for over 85 years. As the brand’s first rotating convertible in the US, the launch reflects Britax’s continued mission of “Protecting What Matters Most” through innovation, safety, design and style.

“As a mom, I know how much thought goes into choosing the right car seat,” said Kelly Thomas, Director of Brand Marketing. “With Galaxy360™, we responded to what parents have been asking for and addressed key gaps in the rotating car seat market. From the extended rear-facing range to the sleek profile and elevated fashions, this seat looks as good as it performs. I’m confident both caregivers and kids will love it.”
