Ha, actually yes i did buy 2 but ended up returning them due to size. I have twins and a pontiac grand prix so side by side they were a little to big. But, overall the car seat is very nice and does recline slightly in the front facing position, (not a lot but enought to help with the head flop :)) and the seat is well padded and soft. hope that helps

Did you ever get any answer to your question - "does the seat recline in the forward facing"? I have the same question and I can't find an exact answer. Since you posted your question in May, I wondered if you might have bought the product by now and perhaps know the answer. Thanks in advance.

It doesnt recline all the way down , but I think its good enough. My one year old sleeps confy there, she doesnt look uncomfortable while she sleeps. This is a good product you wont be disappointed. I know I wasnt.

I have not found this to be a problem. My son's head does not slump. He sort of tilts it to the side and the seat does have a head "pillow" of sorts. I liked the upright factor because it seemed more comfy than a "C" shape that would curl his back. I also like the Radian b/c he can see more out of the sides than the other seats that I investigated.

The back seat is fine for a quick nap but not the most comfortable. Mine is always reclined. I can't get it to a straight position anymore.

It's not the most comfortable sleep but many of my friends have dosed off into dreamland while sitting in it. The initial recline position puts the back at about a 130 degree angle. That angle locks in place. It can however extend to almost straight at about 170 degrees but it goes right back to 130 if enough pressure not applied by the back

Are you asking: in the reclined position, is the seat definitely in a 45 degree angle? I've never measured the exact angle. it does change the incline a bit and the babies are comfortable. Sorry about the vague answer to a specific question.

The back does not recline to 180 degrees (flat). However, it reclines to a flat-enough position for the average baby/toddler to sleep comfortably.The front wheel has an easy flick-switch option to lock into a straight position, or unlock to swivel 360°.

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.

The head does wobble; in spite of that my son sleeps on the chair soundly. Maybe of those neck pillows will help? Buy yes, the chair is much more upright than the britax boulevard, for example.

Yes. My baby is 16 mon. old and still using the deepest reclined position (rear facing) so that she is comfortable if she falls asleep.The recline feature is one of the main reasons I chose this seat.

It will recline if the seat reclines. We have it slightly so his head doesnt flop forward

It doesn't have a lot of recline..but my son who is 3.5 and weighs 32lb. and is 40" tall sleeps without his head falling forward just fine. He rests comfortably on the side!

No it does not recline, I don't think there are any seats that do, saftey would be compermised. It seems very comfortable my three yr old loves it, she lays her head in either side when she sleeps.

my 18 month old slept more than comfortably in it. he just turned 2 and is now forward facing, still just as comfortable as ever. this seat is huge, but awesome.

It depends on if you plan on using it rear facing or foward facing. My kid has no problem napping on a long car drive and he is still using it rear facing. The foward facing postion has less of a recline but to be honest it still looks like the child would be really comfortable.

Yes, I have twins and sometimes one falls asleep while the other takes in the scenery. One can be fully upright while the other can be getting cozy, fully reclined.

My son uses a support pillow for his son. If you do not use one, the babies head can flop from side to side.
