Unfortunately no. it was fine in our other car, but the mini van has a steeper seat. Be sure to have the child seat fully reclined.

Installing it upside down, that works well for me. If you do not have enough space, you could tilt it a little.

It doesn't need to. It sits so deep and is at a effect slant. It wouldn't be safe if reclined rear facing.

There are instructions in the manual for both lap-shoulder belt and lap belt installations for rear and forward facing. After installation if the car seat is not at the angle you want, there is an angle adjuster you can buy.

Mine also wiggled but I went back to it the next day, and got it really tight. I think the adjuster helps. It's worth the $10. Another option is taking it to a car seat inspection. They will get it tight for you. I'd gotten mine so tight that the inspector left it alone, saying I installed it perfectly!

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.

My kids' heads slump a little rear facing, and I've had to put a towel in the crease of the car seat to get a proper recline. Also, it can be a little difficult to get to the knobs to tighten the straps when it's rear facing.

I'm sure you went out backwards! We've done that...put the seats in thinking they were facing towards the front. Check your rudder underneath...it should be in the back and your seats facing away from that!

i'm not sure what to tell you....or how u attached your rear rack, because mine is almost vertical when i attached it to my bike just exactly like the picture....maybe u should ask for an exchange. 20-30 degrees of tilting (either up or down wards) i believe is not right. good luck.

I have a Toyota Venza and it fits nicely facing forwards or backwards in the back (driver's side) seat. (No car seat is "easy" to install, but this one is fairly simple. There are two cords/tapes to pull, one labeled #1 and the other #2 used to tighten the seat in place. There's also a handy leveling dial. You don't have to be a rocket scientist.) Hope this helps!

We didn't have any problems with our . If you think you are going to strip the bolts , I would send it back to amazon. or loosen up the nut , It should be ok to tilt and you should be able to use the arm ...

I have not had any trouble like that with mine, if it fits tight to the transom it cannot tilt. Good luck. JHC

I've only used it forward facing. Its a pretty tall back though. I could see it maybe blocking your view out of the side window.

I had to get se a rolled up towel in my car to get the angle right for rear facing. haven't used as forward facing yet. just make sure you roll it tight and put it right in the crack.

its supposed to slop downwards towards you. just make sure the vents can suck in the air from the thermaltake

Also, be sure you're wiggling at the back. The front/top will move regardless. When testing your car seat for proper tension it should be at the point closest to the angle of your back 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.
