Does anyone know if the seats recline or are at least not quite straight backed? Hoping a kid in a helmet is comfortable especially for long rides.

The set does not recline but there is a little give to it. Used it all day at the State Fair and grandaughter was very comfortable .Infact she didnt wish to get out of it except for rides and potty breaks , she is almost 5 and a tall gal of 46-47 inches tall .

Seats are fixed and do not recline or adjust. The angle varies if connected to a bike or free-standing. More recline when connected. The backing goes to the top and would make it uncomfortable for a kid to use a helmet. Hope this helps.

The seats do not recline back, but they do sit at a little bit of any angle.

I have not reclined, I bought to use for my 2 and 4 year old. Was great for them. It's not a 5 point harness, so using on littles would scare me. Its great for the bigger kids. I actually have a BoB jogging stroller that has great recline and can fit an infant pillow that helps keep them comfy and in place.

No, the seats do not recline. But my boys do fall asleep in this stroller if they're very tired.

We don't own this seat yet (we are planning to buy one), but in my research I learned that it is normal for an older rear-facing child to have their legs folded up and that this is absolutely safe (zero increase in injury risk) and also quite comfortable for the child (because they are way bendier than us). Hope that helps.

I would guess a bit tight unfortunately. But I fell most of these seats now in rear position for tight, and the child's legs are always kind of scrunched in rear facing position

Well my granddaughter that just turned 1 seems to find if very comfortable and can fall asleep and stay asleep on long drives. I like the way it tilts in a reclining angle for comfort.

As long as the seat size is a good fit for your child it should be no problem. My son sleeps fine with his head resting on the side panels and his head does not wobble about. Again, just ensure that the seat is adjust properly for the child's size. If it's too upright, you can adjust it so that it props the child at a slight incline. hope this helps. We love this seat although during the first few days of use I thought about returning because it didn't feel as sturdy as the Frontier...but it feels perfect now.

Yes both seats recline but if your kids are bigger /taller the kid sitting behind won't have much room to straighten his/ her legs. For us it's never a problem because they can just bend their knees. Our kids are 4, 3 and 1 years old.

If your child is rear-facing, how can her head tilt forward?? I don't see how that is possible if the seat is correctly installed. For the love people, read the instructions or go down the your local fire department to get it installed properly! Your child's life depends on it!

It does sit straight up! But protection your child will have! It is huge! We love it, because we know she's protected well in it! She appears very comfortable and has no problem sleeping when riding! She has ridden over 800 miles with no problems!

Are you asking: in the reclined position, is the seat definitely in a 45 degree angle? I've never measured the exact angle. it does change the incline a bit and the babies are comfortable. Sorry about the vague answer to a specific question.

I'm not aware of any issues with the headrest so far. The only issue is the seat is fairly heavy so it's a little harder to switch it to another vehicle and strap it in. But it's really a very nice seat and seems to be comfortable for the kiddo. Good luck!

If your child is able to sit up on his own with a helmet and not get tired, then physically, yes, he should be ready. There isn't any way for your child to recline with most bike seats, including this one, and if you go over any bumps that is going to add to the need for your child to have neck strength. Personally, with all the uncertainty about bouncing and brain development, etc., we didn't put our little one in this until he was 1.

I called and asked customer service. They said 3 things: back support is increased, the sun visors come down separately and a little further down, and there is a feature that the child can sit upright a little more.

They dont recline all the way back which is good else you may hit their head with your knees while running!Both my kids (7 mth and 2 years) have slept in this everytime ive been out running though its the BEST running stroller ive experienced i love it and so do they, so to answer your it reclines slightly, enough for the kids to sleep and be comfortable.

As K. Carey indicated, the seat is reclined. The bottom sits up about 15 degrees and the back is adjustable to lean back from about 30 to 50 degrees. But yeah, it has shoulder straps to keep your kiddo from leaning forward.

Yes with the seat rear facing it does not recline all that much. To me it always seemed more to do with the size of the seat being so large it really can recline much before it bumps into the seat in front of it.
