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, this chair reclines, not the highest quality though. Good luck & Enjoy!

we have ours facing forward. I dont think you can have this carseat rear facing.The reason I say that is because the seat is pretty 'straight up' and rear facing seats usually have more angle (lay position). This seat may not offer enough leg space (or space at all) if you can mount it rear facing.

I have mine rear facing I found it easier to roll up a towel and put it under the carseat to help tilt it back and it helps to get it in securely and tight with the seat belt.

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.

It does! I did not realize this until my daughter tried to put our granddaughter in the seat. She told me that it was not installed right. She and I reviewed the manual and found that indeed, it can and does recline and is thus in my Altima, facing backwards. Five month old granddaughter seems quite comfortable, and she first used it when she was 3 months old.

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

No infant carseat reclines.It has a stable base that when in rear facing, there is a gauge on the side showing in proper position.Just strap it down, pull it tight, and you are good to go.Best thing about this model is that not only is it rear facing, but when child reaches height/weightrange - it then can be switched to front facing. Very good carseat - no complaints from us - and infactbought a 2nd one for Grandparents to use in their car.

Yes, it reclines a good amount back. I love this chair very comfortable and relaxing

No. It reclines with a towel under the front, but that's required to get the seat in the correct orientation.

Have had the seat for 4 months now, I think I'm pretty sure it does not recline. Our 4 year old loves it though, never complained of any discomfort.Great seat overall, highly recommended.

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.

Based on the answers of others, I will have to double check the recline feature. There is a way to tilt the seat back but it's ever so slightly. I wouldn't consider it a recline. I will have to check out the seat in the car again. I'm using it with the harness. Thanks for asking the question!

No, Diono says that it's only for rear facing - the seat I have has it's own recline that can be adjusted

Honestly I don't recline it very often. I havent had any issues with it at all.

I have been able to turn around in the seat in 1 spot, weeding 360 degrees. I have been able to shuffle it along on gravel but I don't think it's good for the seat. I usually get up though.

No it doesn't it sits back a little but not reclining at all. It's the most safest seat. My daughter n gkids got in accident and it didn't move at all they were safe. They are made by people who make seats for Nascar do some research you will be even more satisfied. Take care I hope this helped
