do you have to have a rolled up towel, or some other kludgy thing, to get the right angle in RearFacing position?

No. It works perfectly in my older car with no strap. It's only hooked in throughthe seatbelt.

We don't! Our 4 y/o forward faces and our baby rear faces. We don't have to use anything to get either one level.

I agree with the general idea of "wiggle more" haha. If it's a bathroom sink, you can remove the stopper by messing around under the sink (even if the zip-it is already down there). That may help you wiggle at more angles.

Mine has a sticker on it saying "this side up". It's rough side up, apparently. The bigger question is: how do you get this rolled up thing to lay flat?!

GreetingsI have the curved warmer which I think is easier to put your towel on due to the extra space for a towel behind the curve and is more attractive. I hope this helps, and please nite this review as helpful on the Amazon site if this answered your question! Thank you!

Yes. The instructions say to recline it completely before installing it rear facing.

no! i also have a "v" and i have to lean it sideways at an angle for it to work.

I suppose a little soap and water would do it. The need to be angled just right to be comfortable and effective. they are an ok iteem

Yes, you must follow directions on which side of the film goes against the window and which faces out to reflect heat. I too had trouble with the film curling no matter what I did and ended up using tape around the edges and am unhappy with the way it looks although it does help reflect the heat.

NO. You are supposed to adjust one of the three reclining positions BEFORE installing in the vehicle. There are 3 positions. Depending on forward or rear facing, and the angle of the vehicle seat, depends on which to use.

It probably depends on the vehicle, but yes, I have a rolled towel under mine.

Hi-- In my kit, the towel bar IS attached by screws, it is not permanently fixed, and you must screw the towel bar into the side panel yourself from the inside. it is easy to do, but you will have small openings visible on the outside of the panel if you don't screw in the towel bar. On mine, the towel bar when attached protrudes out just about evenly as does the overhang of the top. And it is as pictured, on the right side of the little stand as you face it. Make sure you measure your available space very accurately and compare with the measurements given in the kit (if you order it). And if you don't put in the towel bar, you can always fill the holes on the outside with a wood putty or small rounded inserts, some of which come with the kit, for other places on the sides. I hope this helps you make your decision. I don't know how much variation there may be in the kits (if any) but I like mine a lot. Good luck!

I have spent many hours, knowing there must be an answer, with my family laughing at me all the while at my half torn, useless attempts. BUT HERE IS THE ANSWER (one that works for me anyway !!!When tearing the towel, first take a hold at the very top of the roll where you can see where it's supposed to tear and pull straight DOWN from there. Don't pull left or right, just straight down with a confiddent yank

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.

No. The only way that works if you use the door on the left side of a double door (mine are under the sink). While that works it makes getting the roll off and on where as with the open end facing left - it is simple.

No, you cannot adjust the angle after it is latched rear-facing into the seat. I was certain it was installed very tightly and there was no way to get my hand between the vehicle seat and the front of the car seat to adjust the recline. I had it on 3 and left it there for rear facing. For front facing, it can be adjusted but we don't. Also, rear facing, if you're tall and need to move your front seat back, it will hit the sit and push it forward. Mine is installed behind the driver's seat in my car because I'm short and if my husband (tall) is in the car in the passenger seat, it didn't work. This seat is super heavy, but I do feel like my grandson is very safe in it. No, you cannot adjust the angle after it is latched rear-facing into the seat.

No, you need to use the other hand to hold the stabilizing armature. It takes a few trys to get the right angle for yourself. I hold the armature while holding the Wedge next to my body for reverse curls, then I hold the armature with my arm extended to preform curls.

Yes, however I have had some trouble using it, its set at an angle and makes it a little awkward.
