If I install this for a rear-facing child is it possible to take it down and turn it the other way when their seat faces forward?

The screen is on a swivel and will rotate all the way around..but to answer your question..if you want to permanently mount it in the other directions all of the mounting holes are in the same spot so it should be very simple and easy to do...but the quickest fix is to just spin the monitor to face the other direction.

im sure you can but u will have to have it uninstalled and reinstalled to do soo because it hooks up to your radio system and battery in your car also i had to get bestbuy to install it. its not something you can do yourself at home

I don't think it would be appropriate because the seat isn't rear facing capable. (Or at least mine isn't, but I have had it over a year so that may have changed). That would be my only concern for you. Otherwise the seat is wonderful, just make sure your child is able to be front facing if the seat only goes that way.

No. I can get our Son, who is already growing out of his 2 year old clothes, easily in an out of this with no assistance. He will not ride in it facing me, so I don't know how hard or not it would be in that direction, but facing away is a cinch!

If both are rear facing it may be possible using the seat belts with no LATCH. Forward facing, though, is not ideal. There is only one set of lower anchors and top tether in the 3rd row of the 2011+ T&C; and they are offset to take up two of the seats. Why they designed it that way I do not know. Installing even just one of them in the back seat properly forward facing unfortunately takes up two seats. It is safer to put the forward facing kids in the second row captain's chairs which both have the tether and lower anchors.

The seat is forward facing only but you can buy a car seat adaptor to make it rear facing for babies.

Yes! It's a convertible car seat, which means it can switch from rear to front facing as your child grows. There are separate seat belt paths for installation that are for front or rear facing configurations. :)

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

Mine are not forward facing, as of yet, but the head rest is close enough that my children's heads do not really move. Plus the head rest moves up and down, so depending on how big your child is, you can make it fit comfortably.

Yes, the seat can lay down, face forward, or backwards. Very easy to change, similar to a real stroller.

You could turn it around but there are not holes on the other side to change the 'lock'. Depending on the age of the kids using it, that might pose a problem.

If the seat is rear-facing, then yes (but would be cramped for long rides). If the child is forward facing, it is still doable, but would be uncomfortable.

Hi Candance, Here is the link that will show you how to reverse the seat. http://drivetech.info/page2653.html

I imagine so! Wow, tall kiddo!. I still have my Kia Soul and flipped it forward facing about 9 months ago or so? My son is 2 years 2 months and 38" tall. It should be great rearfacing for quite awhile longer. My son's legs seemed to be scrunched before I was finally able to flip him forward as well but he didn't complain. It's just safer to keep them rear-facing as long as possible obviously. I don't remember off the top of my head what the weight and height requirements were for a safe forward facing flip...but I know it says so on the side of the seat. Good luck!

No. This one is for only the front. But you can have the baby face forward instead of you.

Hi Michael. You can turn the seat while the child is in it, but is more difficult to do so. I did it all the time before my son outgrew the seat.

Unfortunately, no- this seat is only for installation as a forward-facing seat/booster. I'm sorry!

This seat has instructions to face your child forward at 1 year of age and/or 20 pounds weight whichever comes last. With that being said I think depending on the vehicle you may have a hard time fitting the child rear facing at that size plus in addition to that they will not have any leg room either. My 9 month old only has a couple inches between his feet and the back of the seat.
