Ha, actually yes i did buy 2 but ended up returning them due to size. I have twins and a pontiac grand prix so side by side they were a little to big. But, overall the car seat is very nice and does recline slightly in the front facing position, (not a lot but enought to help with the head flop :)) and the seat is well padded and soft. hope that helps

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.

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.

Nope, it doesn't recline. For our 18 month old on long bike rides when it becomes nap time we slid a small pillow behind him and one to the side and he slept that way. Wearing his helmet if he falls asleep in the normal position his head falls forward.

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.

I usually don't have a problem with head support in this car seat. I have it facing forward and it sits up with a little recline. Only a few times do I remember his head falling forward. He usually leans his head to side of the head support and goes to sleep. As they get older, they get better at laying their head to the side and not forward. You can always place an extra head support in the seat for peace of mind. It's a really good seat though.

I think the recline was steep enough that our son didn't need it, even when he was a brand newborn baby. Now that he's 6 months, he definitely doesn't need any extra support. He always liked to turn his head to the side, but since the rocker doesn't hold them upright, it didn't make his head sag.

My son was probably 9 months old when I got it and it worked fine. I don't believe it reclines all the way down though. I agree, you would potentially need to add blankets or towels to avoid the head from moving side to side.

no, the seat only reclines in the rear-facing direction. I have purchased two of these chairs. My daughter has one for the grandbaby and I have one for when she visits. if it reclines in the forward facing direction we've never managed to make it work. I love the chair it is easy to get her in and out, plenty of nooks and adjustable.

No recline. There is a "wedge" that can sit under the seat - it's a plastic wedge that gives a slight backwards tilt - that seems to make it a little better for sleeping. To install or remove the wedge, the seat needs to be removed/unhooked.

Yes. It is fully reclines. Actually they do not have any problem to sleep even in the front seat:-)

The back seat is fine for a quick nap but not the most comfortable. Mine is always reclined. I can't get it to a straight position anymore.

Honestly, my son hasn't fallen asleep in this chair that I recall. We have had it 2-3 months and our road trips haven't been more than 20 minutes lately. I have seen him close his eyes and rest alongthe side a short bit but never leaned his head forward. I don't think it's an issue. :-)

hi Anne - this is one "feature" of the seat that completely blows me away. In our old Graco seat, our son's poor head would nod back and forth when he'd sleep. hit the breaks and his head would just bob forward, often waking him up. In these Recaro seats, they did something with the design / angle that this NEVER happens. I have no clue why but my wife and I talk about this all the time. It just works

I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it! It is a very comfortable chair. It has a lock mechanism if you want to lock in a certain position when tilting it backwards. Or you can leave it "unlocked" which makes it have like a spring rocking motion while sitting in it. As for tilting forward, not really sure what you are asking. If you want to tilt backwards, like I say it has a button to "lock" in place and you can also 'unlock" it to sit more forward. It does have about 4 or 5 adjustments for the lumbar support. My husband thinks it is a great chair for the price. I hope we have helped answer your questions.

They both recline, but the front seat has very little recline. I switched my almost 3year old to the back as she is now too big for the front. My 1year old is now in the front and is able to sleep but she doesn't look very comfortable in it as it doesn't recline very much. Months ago when my oldest fell asleep, I would have to switch her to the back and my youngest to the front. She (my youngest) would slide down the front a little so I had to put a blanket around her to keep her in place. Back is better for sleeping babies

My son uses a support pillow for his son. If you do not use one, the babies head can flop from side to side.

The head rest does not recline. To make the seat fit better in our car, we removed the head rest that is behind this booster, and then the booster back was completely flushed with the car's seat and this helped my son's head to not flop forward when sleeping. The seat of our car reclines a few inches and the entire back of this booster reclines with our car's seat, which is a nice feature when we are traveling at night.
