Reclining Rear facing: Does anyone know if this seat reclines well in the rear facing position?

You can use pool noodles to increase the incline to closer to 45 degrees. I would contact a local car seat safety inspector to help you with this.

Yes! The reclining positions are nice, We had it a bit reclined when first using the highchair when our daughter was younger. Haven't used the seat adjustments yet so I can't speak to those, but I know it's an option. Overall a great chair so far!

Yes. It reclines forward like a coupe car front seat would. And all the way back flat. I've actually fallen asleep in these. A real good seat

I have not used it with a rear facing seat but I don't see any reason why it couldn't be.

Both seats do recline, however, when they are facing back to back (aka - one facing forward and one facing backwards), I don't see how it would be possible for both to reclined at the same time. Otherwise, both should recline well.

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.

The recline position depends on how you have it installed. There is more of a recline when it's rear facing than when it's front facing. My boys are now sitting front facing, and their heads do not fall forward when they sleep.

According to the instructions when installed rear facing the feet are flipped under the seat which places it in the "reclined" position. When facing forward the feet are flipped down which positions the seat more upright.

No it does not recline, I don't think there are any seats that do, saftey would be compermised. It seems very comfortable my three yr old loves it, she lays her head in either side when she sleeps.

What do you mean? It can be adjusted to slightly recline, but remember that it is a really tall seat. SO you will not be able to recline it much because it is going to be touching the back of the seat that it is strapped to. Plus it is not safe to have it reclined. It needs to be nearly flush with the seat that it is strapped to. This is assuming that you mean "Does it recline while forward-facing?" Hope that helps:)

no, the seat only reclines in the rear-facing direction. I have purchased two of these chairs. My daughter has one for the grandbaby and I have one for when she visits. if it reclines in the forward facing direction we've never managed to make it work. I love the chair it is easy to get her in and out, plenty of nooks and adjustable.

I did have this rear facing but I believe I had it on the side in the back seat not in the center. It fit well on the side. At the time I only had one seat in the car so I didn't have problem with it fitting. forward facing it's great :)

I'm pretty sure that is a no. It reclines mostly to adjust to be rear and forward facing.

It will fit rear facing with the angle adjuster and the seat all the way forward. It will fit forward facing just fine

I don't know how it could recline when it is up against the back of the seat....never heard of that.

Yes is does recline in forward facing position. Really nice on long trips for my son with being able to recline. You have to recline he seat first then the car seat.

I believe I have the 2014 Indie Twin. The seats recline nearly flat and can be adjusted up, but not straight up. There's always some recline. I would guess that the seat and the back make around 120 degree angle. My 5 year old with special needs sits in it just fine.
