M. Clear, This Car Seat can be installed rear-facing and forward-facing with the LATCH. If I can answer any other questions, please let me know.

I did have this rear facing but I believe I had it on the side in the back seat not in the center. It fit well on the side. At the time I only had one seat in the car so I didn't have problem with it fitting. forward facing it's great :)

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

It can be rest faced and front faced. You're supposed to read face until 2 yrs old. This seat is really hard to install as rear facing, which is why I returned it. I couldn't get a safe, tight install.

we've attached ours with the LATCH system in multiple cars rearfacing with no problem- and a local police officer who is the 'car seat expert' at his station checked it and said it was fine.

Yes! It's a convertible car seat, which means it can switch from rear to front facing as your child grows. There are separate seat belt paths for installation that are for front or rear facing configurations. :)

That depends on the vehicle. In my 2014 vehicle the LATCH system is only on the seats near the doors. However, I am able to use the seat in the middle position by pushing the latches (on the seat) between the two car seat cushions. It works fine for me there and I'd rather have my child in the middle seat not using the LATCH system then next to one of the doors.

Yes. It can be used for rear facing. Just make sure you can access the wires that will come out the bottom of the device through the poles that go into the seat. Hope that makes sense!

Hi Ashley,Unfortunately my husband and I tried to do the same but we're unable to do so. The toddler seat cannot fit facing forward with the infant carseat on top.

There are many factors to consider when installing your car seat, including the age of your child, the type of seat belts in your car or the availability of a latch system in your car. If you refer to the user guide for your seat it will provide details on installing your seat forward or rear facing using the latch system or seatbelt.

I don't think it would fit in the backwards position. I have a Cadillac SRX (SUV) and it is tight getting in with 4 full size doors and seat. It takes up a lot of room, it's for my grandbaby, so I don't keep it in unless I have to pick her up.

I have mine in center rear facing. We connected the top latch system to the floor board so the car seat won't move in case of a rear collision.

Although I have never used it in the rear facing position, the instructions cover that kind of installation also and there is an infant insert in the package.

It is rear-facing and forward-facing with harness. You would have to buy a booster when your child is to big for the seat. She simply adores it.

It is compatible with both. We used latch system with it. Extremely happy with this seat. I highly recommend it!

There are instructions in the manual for both lap-shoulder belt and lap belt installations for rear and forward facing. After installation if the car seat is not at the angle you want, there is an angle adjuster you can buy.

Hi! We've never used our carseat for rear facing so I really can't efficiently answer that question . Forward facing however is a snap . My husband installed in less than 10 mins.
