Thinking of buying a 2019 Corolla but it has fixed, protruding head restraints as pictured in an earlier year here:

Will it be hard to find a combination seat and possibly a HBB (or I could just use a second combination in HBB mode) that will fit here?

I think carseatlady recommended seats with a V to go around the head restraints to the tether anchor. But I’m guessing most tall seats will have some kind of a gap because of the head restraint. Are there seats that work well, or should I avoid this car?

Thank you very much.

I have a 2017 and I only found the Britax combination seats to work outboard. What are now the Essentials by Britax convertibles also worked FF. My 4Ever did not work FF at any recline. I haven’t tried any dedicated high back boosters personally.

The center head restraint is removable, so that is an option for seat placement if you only have one child and no other back seat passengers. If you have another good option with removable head restraints, that could make things much easier for you, but I like the Corolla otherwise.
