Do the G4 recline when rear facing?
73677
Yes. The instructions say to recline it completely before installing it rear facing.
73678
Yes it does. We have the same model in both if our cars. It should be all the way reclined when rear facing to be installed properly.

Yes they do. Mine has a recline lever above where the babies/ toddlers head lies. Hope this helps

Hi yes, I have this stroller. There are backward or forward facing options. Rear-facing has 2 recline settings and forward has 3.

We have yet to open the stroller since our second bundle of joy isn't due until January, but we checked the manual online, and there is no indication that the rear seat reclines. Sorry.

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

The chair will lean back with a spring tensioner. You may also diable the recline feature by locking the lever under char.

The back does not recline to 180 degrees (flat). However, it reclines to a flat-enough position for the average baby/toddler to sleep comfortably.The front wheel has an easy flick-switch option to lock into a straight position, or unlock to swivel 360°.

Both front or rear I have mine facing rear now but it does have the capability of faceing forward as well

Yes, it reclines in both the rear facing and forward facing positions very easily using a handle in the front of the seat under the child's legs.

There is a large grey piece that is located underneath the car seat. When you want to turn it rear facing and recline it, lift that grey handle so it is leaning against the seat. That should make the car seat extremely tilted back. And, it puts a lot of pressure against the seat so it is safe and secure! Hope this helps!

Yes, it is not as reclined as our Graco baby carrier seat, but much better than upright (which is not recommended for rear facing.)

Not sure the degree but it has three reclining options. Two for rear facing and one for forward.

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.

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 back is tapered to fit the angle of the role bars. It fits really tight. Very good design

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.

Based on the answers of others, I will have to double check the recline feature. There is a way to tilt the seat back but it's ever so slightly. I wouldn't consider it a recline. I will have to check out the seat in the car again. I'm using it with the harness. Thanks for asking the question!

Interesting. My rear seats don't recline (they fold down). If yours actually recline then ... You can see the spot where it sits in the track to hold the shade, so I guess recline the seat and see if it extends beyond that. If you are referring to the seat folding down that is a different story.
