If I use this with a rear facing car seat for my toddler, will the mat against the back of the seat stay up on its own?

No but the back part is removable so you can put it on once you switch to front facing.

It depends on the seat. For infants, it wont without some kind of prop. For toddler seats, the seat might be tall enough to hold the mat up.

I have used these with an infant removable seat and a Britax Marathon, both rear facing and it stays up just fine. I highly recommend these mats, they have saved the seats in my leased Venza.

Yes. We use it with a Chicco Convertible carseat rear-facing. It can be pushed back and out of the way for loading and unloading

underside has rough surface so mat does NOT move around in my trunk. The rough surface grips onto the carpeted trunk surface perfectly to prevent moving around.

Depends on how long you want to keep him facing backwards, but I'm not sure what seat you have matters for that. My boy is about 34" tall right now and his legs are a little scrunched up, but he's still good for long trips. If you are going for forward facing, you'll need a Suburban to get away from the kicking in the back of your front seat, but that has more to do with the car than the car seat.Basically, your car makes a lot more difference with the legs than the car seat. I can't imagine that this seat would give a long-legged child any trouble.

Yes, it is not as reclined as our Graco baby carrier seat, but much better than upright (which is not recommended for rear facing.)

It does stay shut. My son doesn't play with it quite as much anymore....although he just got a car mat so that might change!!!

Yes, it does, but I doubt that there is a car seat in which this does not happen to some degree. I sometimes tuck in a blanket or a stuffed toy on the side of my kid's head and that helps to prop it up.

With your seat belt in your car but then it depends if you are using forward facing or rear facing. This is the best car seat I have ever purchased! Out of 5 car seat this is the best really!!!

Yes. We have two of these seats for both our kids. They've been using them rear-facing from about age 6m and have both since converted for forward-facing. The seat works well both ways. We think this is a good car seat, the kids seem to find it comfortable. They only real downside for us is that they are very wide, so with two of these in the back seat there is not much room left in the middle.

I've used it with a 3 in 1 convertible car seat that does rear and front facing. I've also used it with an infant car seat. It's pretty big.

Yes, we use it for our rear facing car seat. We just hang it from the headrest of the seat.

I have mine rear facing in a second row, captain chair in a mini van. It works well and we are very pleased. This is the second car seat of this same style and brand we have purchased because I loved it so much for my son who is now 2 and is still riding in his forward facing now and we still love it.

I'm not an expert, but this mat is thin enough and does not seem to effect the buckling in of the car seat - I'm not sure how it would jeopardize the effectiveness.

We have a suburban and it fits just fine. The car seat has a recline adjustment so if the seat tilts too far forward you can recline it back so the child isn't leaning. I am pretty sure the recline position is doctor recommended for rear facing any way.

Hi Claire. I have used this car seat rear facing until my youngest was almost two years old. I made ir front facing when it started to be uncorfortable to her, but she was about 22 months old then. So, I think it'll depend on how fast your child grows.

I think so...I have a regular car seat n it's a little snug...so it should be able to fit the rear facing car seat...

Yes, this is how I use mine. Remember it only covers the width of a regular seat, so if you are using an extended rear facing timeframe for your toddler, he or she may have long enough legs to be able to reach outside of the width of the mat.
