If I recline the rear seat half way (45 degrees) will this Recaro bosster also recline while using it as a full high back booster seat?

No.That would defeat the purpose of its intended use of positioning the seat belt properly.

If you're asking if the Recaro seat has recline function, No. If you're asking if the seat, as properly installed, would pivot on the bottom with the back of the seat maintaining contact with the rear seat, then yes, I believe it would. Of course, I'm not a safety expert and would not be able to speak to using the cart seat in any degree of recline and whether or not that would be safe.

There is a pivot between the lower and upper (rear) section of the seat. I don't recall at which angle the two components come apart.

I started using this once she was over one year. I used a different Graco infant carrier from 0-1yr. The babies do sort of lie down/prop up in an infant carrier. Once transitioned to this carseat, she sits with her back fairly straight. It is not as straight as she will be once she's in a booster seat with no backing, but I wouldn't not consider this reclined like the infant carrier. She has never complained about this seat. She seems very comfortable and I feel safe with it.

no! When the foot rest comes up the back goes down slightly until the foot rest is all the way up then it reclines as far as you want it.

Yes, the seat can recline almost completely flat. It's nice that with the extended sun shade, it still manages to block the sun even when reclined. I've had this stroller for a year and love it.

Both seats do recline, however, when they are facing back to back (aka - one facing forward and one facing backwards), I don't see how it would be possible for both to reclined at the same time. Otherwise, both should recline well.

Back seat yes, front seat no. The front seat shouldn't even be called a recline, its like half an inch

It is only a forward facing car seat. Yes it does recline. It is a little tricky and YouTube has a great tutorial on how to get it to recline.

No, it does not recline flat... Only about 45 degrees. Great stroller though!

The back seat reclines well enough that our 1 2/2 year old could lay back and rest. The back seat reclines to a 45 degree angle.

Sort of. There is minimal recline from 90 degrees. We have it reclined as much as possible and she is sitting upright. That said, she loves it and we have now purchased one for both vehicles.

it goes back approx. 130 degrees, it's quite comfortable for my height 5"6, a coworker of mines had one so i got it and i enjoy it. some of the other comments of 45 degrees are correct if your leaning forward, but if your reclining its about 130 or so, hope that helps. if your tall i can't give an accurate description to you

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.

No, there is not a fully reclined position, if that's what you're asking. There is very upright and not-so-upright. "Recline" is really a very loosely-used term when used in relation to this stroller. :) Having said that, I love this stroller. I used it for my 6-month-old with no problems. The reclined position is just reclined enough that she could nap without slumping. The straps are not a harness though, so you'll have to be careful with that.

It does! I did not realize this until my daughter tried to put our granddaughter in the seat. She told me that it was not installed right. She and I reviewed the manual and found that indeed, it can and does recline and is thus in my Altima, facing backwards. Five month old granddaughter seems quite comfortable, and she first used it when she was 3 months old.

No, the seat back does not recline.You and I are the same height, with the foot rest that come with the chair, often I drive with my legs extendedEd B.

So, it's a bit deceptive, in that the Graco seat has to be in recline mode in order to be rear-facing. Basically, you pull out these "feet" from the underside of the seat in order to put the car seat into recline position when you install to face backwards, and it can't be adjusted into an upright position unless the seat is facing forward, which is one of the drawbacks of the seat and one of the pluses of the Britax Marathon. That said, my daughter loves this seat. She's a year and a half, but on the smaller side, and she has been riding (and napping) in this seat comfortably since she was a little over a year old.

When I bought this car because my son was two years, I can not confirm that serves a baby, though the backrest is fully reclining, I'd say no problem but I'm not sure
