does this car seat recline without having to move the base?

NO. You are supposed to adjust one of the three reclining positions BEFORE installing in the vehicle. There are 3 positions. Depending on forward or rear facing, and the angle of the vehicle seat, depends on which to use.

You cannot adjust the recline while the seat is installed. The base does not move while adjusting though, just the upper seat portion reclines.

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.

We use it sometimes without the base in our other car. Like any other car seat it isn't as secure as it is in the base but as long as you use the seat belt and pull it tight it's fine.

No it doesn't recline but it's at a nice angle in both forward and rear facing. My children always took great naps in this seat and never looked uncomfortable. It's too large to recline.

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.

No...the arm rest do not move The back is removable, but that is the only thing that can adjust. I have loved this seat for my daughter though. It is light and fits her perfectly. She has used it for about a year & she just turned 6.

No removable base, this car seat is all one piece, to change vehicles you must move and re-secure the entire seat. It is one of the easiest to move/adjust however.

Yes, it definitely does! I recommend picking up another base if you have a second vehicle that you regularly use. Otherwise, moving bases from one car to another (no matter which car seat you have) is a pain if you want to properly and securely install the base.

Yes. This chair has a rocking motion, not gliding. So it swivels, rocks, and reclines.

The base does not detach, so you have to move the whole thing. It's fairly easy to move, especially if you have a newer vehicle with the built in car seat anchors.

Yes, the back does recline all the way back to become completely flat and must be so to use with the companion car seat.

Yes, there are loops around the seat to safely attach without the base. Fairly easy. Acceptable solution when travelling but not for everyday.

Hi! The seat does have an adjustable recline. However, it may not provide enough recline depending on your car's seat cushion angle. When my foonf is in a car with really flat seats, I make it more reclined by boosting the front of the seat up with a piece of a styrofoam pool noodle. The Foonf manual includes the range of angles that are acceptable for both forward and rear facing. I check the angle with my iPhone app just to be sure. This is how we avoid head slump. But in some vehicles it is not a problem whatsoever.

No, it has only one position that is reclined. It's sort of a gentle cradling the baby's body; not quite flat but not sitting either.

Yes. It is just like a lazy boy chair in that you do not have to recline it.

This is called standard seat so no, but the company offers a factory replacement model that reclines. I am quite happy with the quality of these for the price even though they don't recline.

No infant carseat reclines.It has a stable base that when in rear facing, there is a gauge on the side showing in proper position.Just strap it down, pull it tight, and you are good to go.Best thing about this model is that not only is it rear facing, but when child reaches height/weightrange - it then can be switched to front facing. Very good carseat - no complaints from us - and infactbought a 2nd one for Grandparents to use in their car.
