Is this also a rear facing car seat?

Yes. It is convertible, so it can be installed to either be rear or front facing.

I have mine in center rear facing. We connected the top latch system to the floor board so the car seat won't move in case of a rear collision.

Rear facing, Not unless the driver is short and the seat is moved forward a bit. This is a fantastic seat but massive.

I did have this rear facing but I believe I had it on the side in the back seat not in the center. It fit well on the side. At the time I only had one seat in the car so I didn't have problem with it fitting. forward facing it's great :)

Yes, I have 2 car seats attached to the seat, with the seat cover. One is a forward facing seat for my 2yr old and the other is the base of a rear-facing seat for my 6month old.

It is only to be used rear facing. Keep your child rear facing as long as possible. I was recently in an accident that totaled my car and because I had kept her in a rear-facing car seat (not this one because she outgrew it because of her height) she walked away without a scratch.

Yes this car seat is wondeful! I did two hours of research and found this one to be one of the best! My son is pretty tall for his age and this rear facing was great for him bc it allows for taller children to still be rear facing!!

Yes. Out of many car seats I've looked into this one has the highest weight and height for extended rear facing.

Yes, This car seat has three positions. It tilts to a reclining position for rear facing child, has a medium setting for forward facing napping, and a completely upright position.

I bought this as a front facing car seat for my 3 year old special needs daughter. I have not seen anywhere that it can be rear facing. It is not a convertible seat.

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! We've never used our carseat for rear facing so I really can't efficiently answer that question . Forward facing however is a snap . My husband installed in less than 10 mins.

Yep! It only sits upright for forward facing. It leans back for rear facing same as a newborn car seat.

Yes, we are using it for our 29 month old son in a rear facing position. He will be rear facing in it unitl he out grows the limits for it, and then we will most likely use it for our four year old daughter because it has a higher harness level than our Graco Nautilus so we will be able to harness her much longer. LOVE LOVE LOVE this car seat!

We have ours rear-facing in a VW Tiguan (a smaller SUV), and it doesn't obstruct our view, but we put it on the left side of the car, not the middle seat, for this very reason. The seat is very tall and quite large. That being said, it's the best on the market and we love it.
