When installed in the car...can this seat face forward, or does it only face towards the rear?

it like all orbit products swivels, but when it is forward facing it is not on the base and you use the attaching stabilizers. it does not swivel when it is forward facing.

it can face forward but withour the rotating base, yo can use both the seatbelt or the latch system.

Hi, this can face rear for younger children and forward for older children. Hope that helps!

Hi Warren ☺️ It can face either direction and we have a very compact car���

I have mine rear facing I found it easier to roll up a towel and put it under the carseat to help tilt it back and it helps to get it in securely and tight with the seat belt.

I have only used this seat facing the front, so facing the rear would probably take up more leg room in the back seat. Facing front, it's not too bad. However, it will definitely take up half your back seat width-wise.

Hi Morgan, I don't think it will fit rear facing in the back. I wouldn't fit our vehicle rear facing. If we made it fit we would have to have the front seats pulled completely erect. We have it front facing and it fits. However, there isn't any shoulder room for the passengers sitting on the sides. We have 3 series bmw and the car seat takes up 60 percent of the backseat. We have it in the middle backseat and my husband can't sit in the backseat comfortably. His shoulders don't have enough room, he has to sit slanted. We don't mind, because we read in the reviews how it saved the child in an accident. We normally sit in the front seats anyway. I hope this helps you.

I haven't even used one car seat adapter. I wanted the back seat to face me and the front seat to face outwards. Although it can do this, neither seat can be reclined. This has been my only complaint.

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

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.

Yes, when you install it in the backseat facing the rear. Works very well for my 6 month old granddaughter.

Hello! The baby faces the rear of the car. (It's only a rear facing seat, you'll have to get another seat once the baby is bigger, we used it for about 8months, but my son was a big baby! Lol) I really liked this car seat. It's very easy to put in and take out.

It is both rear and front facing. The manual will show you how to secure the seat safely in either position. Super easy.

I have only done it rear facing so I can't compare to how it does forward facing. However, it works great rear facing. My husband has a 2 door SUV and is able to easily get him in and out. We actually purchased this model because it was listed in Consumer Reports for being #1 in safety. I hope this helps!

I had to get se a rolled up towel in my car to get the angle right for rear facing. haven't used as forward facing yet. just make sure you roll it tight and put it right in the crack.

I'm not for sure how it would do in a compact car. I have a mini van so there is tons of space for it. Is it going to be rear facing or forward facing? I would think forward facing would be fine. Might be a little snug rear facing?

It only faces backwards. I never found it a problem as my toddler never sat in it for long periods of time. It's not a real double stroller-just a toddler seat for navigating parking lots etc.

I have mine rear facing in a second row, captain chair in a mini van. It works well and we are very pleased. This is the second car seat of this same style and brand we have purchased because I loved it so much for my son who is now 2 and is still riding in his forward facing now and we still love it.

I secured it front facing.. i am not sure now if it can be set up rear. I believe so but have thrown away packaging. try looking up the model on Evenflo website.

Yes. Mine is installed rear-facing and will be turned around when the baby gets older. Fits perfectly in rear-facing position.
