It does face forward although fits oddly in my Subaru and 4runner. Not my favorite seat.

Yes it does! And it has 3 straps to secure it in the car whether front facing or rear facing. Its a great purchase.

No, and I agree with others that its best to by the safest car seat and seperate stroller. The car seat carriers are inexpensive. We had one and then bought this stroller when our child turned one, so he could enjoy facing forward.

Yes, the Pavillion is rear facing for younger babies and forward facing for toddlers. There is a weight/height limit for both settings. We own a Pavillion and an Advocate and are extremely pleased with both seats and feel they are very safe. We installed both using LATCH.

No, absolutely not. Children need to be rear facing until a minimum of age two. Check out these links about why rear facing until two is imperative for your baby's safety! http://csftl.org/why-rear-facing-the-science-junkies-guide/http://csftl.org/rear-facing-car-seat-myths-busted/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8gU9zzCGA8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sssIsceKd6U

No. To do that you will need a rear facing only infant carseat. This is a convertible seat that can be used both rear facing and forward facing but does not have a base for the carseat to be easily removed and taken into house or snap into a stroller.

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.

Yes, the main seat does allow for your child to travel forward or rear facing in the top position until 55 lbs. We do not recommend using the second seat without use of the primary position because of proper weight distribution needed to prevent tipping.

This car seat is only rear facing. The base is designed to face to the rear. It cannot be safely secured to the seat of the car if you attempt to turn the base forward facing. By the time your child is old enough to face forwards, they will need a new (larger) more upright seat. I bought the Radian R120... which is good for up to 120 pounds. I will have no problem with this seat as my daughter grows.

Thank you for asking. It is a very good question. This Car Seat can be used forward facing for a child at least 1 year of age, at least 22 pounds and 34 inches tall. It can be used up to 40 pounds and/or 43 inches. The instructions will tell you how to install this seat forward and rear-facing. For the rear-facing mode it can be used from 5 to 40 pounds and/or 19 to 40 inches. We do recommend the child be rear-facing as long as possible. Can I answer any other questions for you?

No. All infant car seats are rear-facing only. If you want a car seat you can switch to forward facing later, look at convertible car seats. They are designed to do this. Also the new recommendations from the American Pediatric Association, I believe, are to keep your child rear facing for 2 years, and the higher weight capacity of 30 lbs is designed to help you do that with this seat.

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.

Yes. I currently use this car seat in a tear facing position. It's awesome. I'll switch it to front facing in a few months.

No. But it is a great car seat. We have two for our grandchildren who are ages 2 and 3-1/2.

No, a child should rearface until 2 but closer to 4 is the best. You are better off buying on convertible car seat that rear facing and then forward faces later.

It can be used rear facing for infants from 5 - 30 lbs and front facing for toddlers 20 - 40 lbs.

Yes. Mine is installed rear-facing and will be turned around when the baby gets older. Fits perfectly in rear-facing position.

It is only a recommendation to keep your car seat rear facing for up to two years. It is not a law. My son is in the 95th percentile for height and weight and he's been forward facing in his car seat since he turned one. He will and does not fit rear facing. So, I am sure that your 16 month old can use this car seat forward facing.
