Is there any way to make it rear facing? If not will need to buy new carseat.

Latch system is in the back of the seat. I don't believe it can be rear facing. Manual doesn't mention it. Since minimum weight is 20 pounds and 27 inches, it's for toddlers who would not be rear facing.

No. It is front facing only and should only ever be used for a child weighing 30lbs or more.

I have mine in center rear facing. We connected the top latch system to the floor board so the car seat won't move in case of a rear collision.

I have solved that problem with my dvd player for the rear-facing child. I have the dvd player attached to the back of the drivers seat. The child is in the rear-facing seat behind the drivers seat. I use a baby car mirror on the headrest of the backseat facing her, the same one I use so I can see her from the rear-view mirror, and I adjust it so she can see the dvd in the mirror. It works GREAT!

Yes. I currently use this car seat in a tear facing position. It's awesome. I'll switch it to front facing in a few months.

Do you mean a smaller infant seat or one like Britax Boulevard that csn be installed facing front or rear? I didn't use it on our Graco infant seat (the type you install rear facing with seat base that stays in car generally), but it should fit since it is smaller. I hope this helps.

I think the directions say you have to put it in the reclined position for rear facing. My son is 21 months and that still is how he sits (though I'm sure he's ready to turn around as soon as I am).

No. All infant car seats are rear-facing only. If you want a car seat you can switch to forward facing later, look at convertible car seats. They are designed to do this. Also the new recommendations from the American Pediatric Association, I believe, are to keep your child rear facing for 2 years, and the higher weight capacity of 30 lbs is designed to help you do that with this seat.

Rear Facing? Not sure about the hybrid but I've had it RF in the center seat of a Camry and Corolla. The passenger would be uncomfortable if it was on the sides though, even with the angle adjuster.

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.

It is not hard... But it will take a minute to do. Rear facing is easier than front facing to change out. Front facing you have an anchor on each side and one that anchors at the top. I use my knee in the seat to give pressure while i tighten it... Which takes longer because i am tall and my car is medium size... If you have a van or SUV it shouldn't take long at all.

It also depends on the slope of your seat. My 2011 BMW 528i rear seat (center) is pretty sloped. So rear facing almost cancels out the recline. You can shove a towel underneath the front of the car seat (towards the rear of the car) to account for that slope of the seat. I have the same seat in my 2007 BMW X5 and the recline is much better as there is not much slope to that seat.

No. To do that you will need a rear facing only infant carseat. This is a convertible seat that can be used both rear facing and forward facing but does not have a base for the carseat to be easily removed and taken into house or snap into a stroller.

Yes it is a rear facing car seat, just so you know it does not come with the base for the car seat so if you want that you will need to purchase that seperate.

Try the "Sunshine Kids Ultra-Mat Ulimate 2-Part Undermat Car Seat Mat" or the "DuoMat 2-in-1 Car Seat and Mat by Kiddopotamus" Look for padded bottom and seat cover, so that it can be used rearfacing and forward facing. Either way they protect well. Skip the ones that only cover the seat because your child will kick the cloth and it won't be protected.

I did have this rear facing but I believe I had it on the side in the back seat not in the center. It fit well on the side. At the time I only had one seat in the car so I didn't have problem with it fitting. forward facing it's great :)

Yes. It is convertible, so it can be installed to either be rear or front facing.
