Does anyone have a problem with the seat recline? I went to check one out at the store and the model there was broken and wouldn't stay upright

No problem actually bl very convenient especially when she needs to take a nap.

I never had a problem with the recline, we recline it every day and the materials have stood "the test of time"

I haven't had a problem with it staying up, but it is not a formal 'click' recline system, it is a tension clip thing (I'm probably not describing that well). So I can see how if it is misused or over-used over time that it may break (such as a display model in a store). So far so good on mine, but I've only had it about four months.

I have not had trouble in the 2 months I've had it. I think it is very easy to recline a sleeping baby and then to put it up easily when she wakes.

I have not. I picked up a pack of 4 seat cushions at Walmart from the fabric/sewing isle and placed them under the original seat cushion. It has worked for about 6 months, but it is time to replace them again or find something better. I have spent many a long night sitting up in this rocker with my child and due to the poor cushioning my lower back is having issues. In my opinion.....There is just not enough cushioning or lumbar support for those long nights....

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???

I'm quite thin too and have had no problems. You're not really sitting on your bottom, anyway, but straddling the seat. I borrowed one from a local 'back' shop to try out, because they are quite expensive: perhaps you could do the same.

If the back does not fit in the slot, the chair might have been damaged in shipment. I had the same issue and tried to get the part replaced. No luck dealing with manufacturer. (although the documents state to not contact seller and to contact Manhattan Comfort directly. You might find going through Amazon is quicker and less troublesome.)

i had the same problem so i had it brought it to the bike shop. i share all the sentiments of michael b. not only that, the seat is very stiff and provides a very uncomfortable ride. i can only last a few minutes. the bike is hardly used.

I just read Kyle's answer and was gratified he had answered it completely. I will say one thing, I was rather upset that I didn't get the seat, but somehow managed to get the seat off the old unit. I am still using the old seat. I thought the price of the seat was rather expensive. I was grateful that Amazon had it if I had broken the old one. Further, try to protect the unit if you are having construction done in your facility or home. Doesn't take much to break them.

We ended up returning it because we didn't like the way the straps seemed to stick when you were tightening and loosening, and because it didn't fit well in our Aveo or Golf. I don't remember the seat reclining... if I remember correctly (and I believe someone else may have mentioned this) the base has a piece in the front that can flip out to create more of a reclined seat position, but for us it also then made it harder to adjust for correct install.

Yes with the seat rear facing it does not recline all that much. To me it always seemed more to do with the size of the seat being so large it really can recline much before it bumps into the seat in front of it.

Livestrong sent us a new seat very quickly when ours started coming apart. It is a known issue. I was also very happy that I did not have to send back the defective seat. Warranty is one year.

I was surprised mine leaned back. Usually these simple computer chairs don't do that. It doesn't lean back to the point I fall though. Check knob underneath and turn one way, lean back, then turn the other way and lean back. If that doesn't fix it, retighten all screws with allen wrench. Still doesn't work then something is faulty.

That is the tricky part. You are supposed to press the bottoms on the side for it to recline. There are 3 levels. The one that I bought the plastic button keeps getting stuck. I have to use a butter knife to recline it. If you want it in an upright position it slides well. I think mine could just be a defect or the plastic needs some exercise. I should have bought mine from a store for an easy return. I hate mail order returns. So I just deal with it.

I had a problem with my chair when it was about 6 months old. I first called the mfg and they said they would take of the issue. They did nothing. I call amazon and they were able to send a replacement chair and I sent the broken one back. Amazon was great about it, the mfg sucks and gave me the run around.

I know if it is delivered defective, you can return it. I don't know about long term warranties. My daughter has had the chair for almost a year and has not had any trouble with it. In fact, she loves it.

The seat on mine had a leaking shock that would not hold up. I have it in a back room as i had thrown away the packaging. Very disapointed and still looking for the right chair

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.

I had the same issue and what I had to do was recline my back seat in order for it to level out. Sorry if this doesn't help.
