I see that it does not recline, but what is the angle of recline for rear-facing? or Is it fully upright?

It can be angled back for rear-facing. They recommend a rolled up towel to help with this, and that is what we've done for the last year. (As a side note- the cup holder doesn't stay attached.)

The bottom back piece does move positions so it's possible to recline the seat when rear facing.

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.

It reclines almost completely flat, but can stop anywhere from straight up to lying back flat. It's very comfortable.

It's stands completely vertical, in other words not angled. The only way to angle is to rest the back on something else. Either way works.

Swivel yes, recline, no. It is angled back a lil tho. Easy to put together, but a lotta screws

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 is angled. Not a very steep angle. I think the back sits maybe 3 or 4 inches higher than the front.

The car seat itself does not recline at all. If you want to change the angle, then you'll need to use a separate angle adjuster or spacer when installing it in your vehicle.

yes, it does recline. It has a lever on the side that locks it into place. However, I've had troubles with it not reclining smoothly. It takes a lot of pressure to recline it. I think it just needs some grease somewhere?

Yes this seat reclines, it needs to be reclined for rear facing mode and more upright when it's forward facing.

No, it does not recline. However, for the money it is a very comfortable chair.

No, it can't recline flat, but it can stop at any angle above 30 degree, because at the back of seat it is a rope control.

The swivel works in both recline positions. At full recline, your back will be max at a 45 degree angle. My husband is average height and a little stocky. He loves this recliner. Compact, but big enough. Ver comfortable and stylish. I am an average sized woman- unpacked and easily assembled recliner in minutes.

I have mine facing front. you can't really recline it back when its front facing and once it is strapped in its not going anywhere.

It is very upright. It has a feature where it can "recline" about 2 inches but it doesn't make any difference. When my daughter falls asleep in the car she always looks pretty uncomfortable. Her head slumps and rolls around. It is one of several things I don't like about this seat.

It has 3 positions when rear facing, upright, almost upright, and a position that is approx 45 degrees. Yes you can recline when the baby is in the seat, although it might be difficult because the lever is located near the child's feet, so it is close to the back seat of the car if it is this in a rear facing position.

It does NOT recline to full flat. Pulling the front bar out helps it to recline more tho. I put my newborn in it but it is very roomy as he is now 4 and still sits in it as a rocking chair. Hope this helps you!
