Are kids comfortable if they fall asleep while riding in this seat? I see it can recline some. Does that help?

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

Depends of the age, if your child is below 3years I'll go with the ProRIDE instead, otherwise is a good choice

Our 4 yr old grandson sleeps just fine in it. He can sit cross legged in it too.

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.

It's good support for my 18month old and three year old. If it was a smaller baby I'd say no it isn't the best support. My children have no problem falling asleep in their car seats. Their head doesn't seem to wobble back and forth.

Yes the chair goes all the way back into a reclining position and is quite comfortable. My husband has his in his man-cave for watching tv and is often found in the recline position taking a nap.

I want to ensure the "BOTTOM SUPPORT" of this seat is going to be comfortable for EVERYDAY USE, along w the "BACK Support". My child just turned 2 years old 4 days ago. He is custom & VERY use to His "Chairries/by JonTi-CrafT" but enough eating in living room!! Does anyone feel this Transition of not only The Cairrries but his own personal"Security, Stability, Safty" WILL BE MET BY THIS PRODUCT?

It's not the most comfortable sleep but many of my friends have dosed off into dreamland while sitting in it. The initial recline position puts the back at about a 130 degree angle. That angle locks in place. It can however extend to almost straight at about 170 degrees but it goes right back to 130 if enough pressure not applied by the back

No it does not recline far back enough to take a nap in. Also, it is not comfortable in the sitting upright position. The head rest does not fit my head in the right place, but I am a short person. May be better for a taller person. Also, it does not rock. The material seems to be of good quality material. Good luck!!!!

Yes. I dont know how you would avoid that in any carseat unless they are rear facing. If your child falls asleep a lot in the car, you should probably get the britax frontier 90 so they can be harnessed into the seat.

it doesn't really recline, i don't believe high chairs are made with the thought of toddlers taking naps in them. However, it is a very good, sturdy seat. Plus it is very easy to clean.

We have had this Recaro booster/car seat for going on 3 months now and our 2 year old still loves it. She is very comfortable her head while asleep rests over to the side into the padding instead of leaning forward. We have a britax in our other vehicle and whenever she falls asleep in that she slumps forward.We have this in our GMC Yukon for long car rides as she is the most comfortable in this. It doesn't recline, which I was worried about but you could always put a pad under it to adjust it as needed. We haven't needed to do that as she just loves this seat and has no problems falling asleep super comfy for long car rides!

Doesn't seem like it reclines back that much, but my daughter has slept while on it ( sometimes more than 2 hours) so it's definitely comfortable enough.

Having never sat in it personally, I can't say whether or not it's comfortable, but my kids don't seem to mind it at all. We have two different patterns of this car seat, and both appear to be the same fabric type. We live in a very hot and humid climate, and I was concerned they would heat up, but so far we haven't had any problems that way. The fabric is smooth and they seem to like it. Even on the hottest days their legs don't seem to stick or anything.

My kids (4 and 5--we bought 2 of these) don't really sleep in the car and on long trips we bring pillows but the few times they ended up asleep their heads end up in that little nook/cranny where you can see the headrest bows out in the picture. But I can see if your kid fell asleep in the right position, his chin ending up on his chest.Edit: Both my kids fell asleep in the car after a long day a few days ago. Both of them had their head cocked to the side resting against the headrest where it turns out (see picture).

Well I'm not the one that actually uses the seat, my son does. But, he seems to like it and has no trouble falling asleep in it. The giant bottle of Jack Daniels that I transport around in it sometimes seems to like it as well.

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

the seat does not recline. it is slightly reclined permanently. if your child is four or older they may be too tall. I have a 2yrold and 4 yr old...both about to have a birthday and the 4 yr old is getting to where her head is hitting the top

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.
