I have a rear facing car seat, does this product also work from the front of the head rest rather than the back side so my baby can watch it in her car seat?

It probably depends on the depth of the headrest itself but I have used mine like that. The system is basically two desperate pieces, one designed to hold the iPad and one designed to hold the first bracket. You've probably got around a 2" clearance from where it attachs to the headrest and where the iPad mount actually sits. I had to turn the headrest backwards as the posts for my headrest are at the back.

For me it does... I have an 18 month-old who sits rear-facing. I mounted the holder on the front of the headrest in my honda pilot with no issues.

I want to say yes, as long as the headrest has 2 guideposts that are not too recessed. The Gripdaddy is adjustable in multiple ways. I have placed in different cars, and have always been able to adjust it to the best position for my kids. However, I have never positioned it the way you want to. Hope this helps! This thing is durable!

It should but it would all depend on the thickness of the headrest. My 2011 f150 has very thick headrests and the mount is adjusted to its widest setting and just barley makes it.

I've only used it with my baby facing inwards. It's one of the most useful baby items I own

Yes. I have the car seat facing me in the regular single seat spot (closest to me) and then the second seat facing forward at the front of the stroller

Hi Claire. I have used this car seat rear facing until my youngest was almost two years old. I made ir front facing when it started to be uncorfortable to her, but she was about 22 months old then. So, I think it'll depend on how fast your child grows.

Hi Patricia! For rear-facing children, we strongly recommend attaching it to your back seat head restraint. You can also attach it to your tether anchor (if not in use by your child safety seat), center back seat on a bench seat or center back seat with a rear deck. Hope that helps!

It depends, are you installing it rear facing or forward facing? Rear facing: It does sit up pretty high on the base, so depending on where you have it in the back seat and how tall you are, it could block your view looking out the back windows. Other than that you shouldn't have a problem fitting it in there. To install rear facing you have to take the seat cushion off, thread the seat belt through, close the lock-offs, and put the seat cushion back on. It's not necessarily HARD, once you get used to it...but it's not super quick, and it's not the easiest to understand for a grandparent or babysitter/nanny who doesn't use the car seat every day. Forward facing: pretty easy install, especially if you can use the rigid latch but you have to check the latch limits for your vehicle first. Clek has apparently approved the use of the rigid latch AND seat belt at the same time on this seat, so you can call them about that too. The REACT technology doesn't do much good if it's not installed with latch (for forward facing).

We got a Brica mirror for rear-facing carseat, so we would be able to see the baby from the front. It comes with a remote (just 2 big buttons) that turns lights on/off and music on/off. If your child is in a front facing carseat you can still use it to have some light when you need it. I hope, it helps.

I've strapped in rear facing car seats for my grandchildren. The seat-back portion of the mat stays in place for me. There is a tab on the mat that tucks into the fold of the seat and helps keep the back in place. In addition the car seats put pressure on the seat-back portion to keep it in place. It's also stiff enough that it does not flop towards the car seat. I hope this helps you.

Yes, the head extension removes and the carseat works facing rearward. We've used these seats for our first two kids and love them.

Babies R Us and most stores will let you try out installing carseats in your car. Offhand I would think the car would be too small, rear facing would probably make the front seat unusable. Forward facing it may fit, the seat allows for an inch or two of overhang.

Baby can be rear-facing if placed in a compatible car seat. We used the Chicco Nextfit carseat and it clicks to lock into place inside this stroller, facing the adult who is pushing the stroller. You just have to expose two little holes by moving some of the padding in the stroller and you're all set to place the carseat in it. I love that no additional equipment was needed. Now that he sits up well, we don't use the carseat anymore and he just sits in the stroller like normal.

The manual and on the product state that the carrier is not for forward facing infant. You can wear the carrier on your back so the baby would be facing outward.

Do you mean with the over the seat mirror reflecting the baby? Whatever is behind your head in the car you can see better with this mirror. Warning- your kids will also clearly see you roll your eyes.

Mine does! The back is much more straight than a regular car seat, but there are rests on either side of the ears, so that helps

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

This car seat is awesome however it does not recline well. Due to it being forward facing it does not recline far enough back to prevent sleeping babies head from falling forward. You would need a pillow.

I didn't have it yet when my son was rear facing and he was on the passenger side but this would allow you to see him/her as long as you have a mirror also on the rear seat. That's the only way you can see the little one but with a standard rearview mirror you can't see behind the driver's seat. With this mirror, the way it is curved, you should be able to. I would recommend getting (if you done already have one) a rear mirror that can tilt and adjust do you can make the angles just right. Good luck!
