No. The seat is in a fixed position for safety. When the seat is in the backward facing position it is just fine for an infant. When moved to a front facing position, the toddler sits in a safe vertical position.

We used a different seat when our child was rear facing. We turned this seat forward facing from the beginning and also put the head rest on at that time. I can't really answer what age and height, but the book does reference when the child's head is within an inch of the top of the seat.

It has a lot of tilt. From pretty much straight vertically, to tilting backwards more than completely horizontally. It has a knob you adjust each time and it stays in place. We've used it for about 2 months daily by a 7- and a 5-year old. Works great.

The seat is forward facing only but you can buy a car seat adaptor to make it rear facing for babies.

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.

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!

I started forward facing when my baby reached 25 lbs (20 months). Her legs bent alot if she sits rear facing and started kicking the wall because she couldn't put her legs straight.

If this answers your question, the baby sits upright in the seat and there is no support specifically for the head of the child. The back of the seat is slightly higher than the front, but it will not be tall enough to support the head. I too would recommend that the child be able to hold their head up on their own before safely using this product.

We had it facing backwards for our little one until her first birthday and it wasn't a huge issue at all. I wouldn't call it easy, but I also would call it difficult, either. The car seat isn't the issue, the seat belts are! Hope this 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.

Yes the rocker placement keeps the rocker from going backwards. When the child gets older you can move the rockers toward the front to allow for a longer rock.

I think the directions say you have to put it in the reclined position for rear facing. My son is 21 months and that still is how he sits (though I'm sure he's ready to turn around as soon as I am).

Thanks for your reply. I bought the Boulevard end of June and started using the carseat beginning of July. I love it! My daughter is 9 mos now, 28.5 in. and 20 lbs. She does very well in the seat and her head does not tilt forward when she sleeps like it always did in her Graco Snugride (which I also liked, except for the head dangle). I'm also not sure if her head will tilt forward once I turn her forward facing. I will try to keep her rear facing as long as possible.

Yes this will face rear. We bought it as a present for EMT's who had a baby.

Yes the chair tilts back. But is very stiff to do so. But with time seems to loosen up. It also has a twist knob so that you can adjust the level of tightness in the tilt. Hope this helps.

Yes the baby can be forward facing. I used mine quite often that way. My daughter loved it.
