Hi Chelsea I have the spectra and the fuze, however I haven't used my fuze yet. As far the spectra the car seat doesn't recline

just picked ours up, the front recline has 3 settings. 1,2 and 3 (most reclined). Only when the seat is in 1, the rear bench seat is really useable, on 3, the seat back practically covers the entire bench, and on 2 (needed when using a car seat), the partially covers the bench, even with it slid to the rear most position.I just went into Target and they had the Baby Trend sit n stand stroller, the front seat has 2 recline settings, and on both, the rear bench is not covered and useable... I kind of regret not going with the baby trend. Baby Trend also allows car seat in the back as well whereas Joovy restricts it only to the front... just picked ours up, the front recline has 3 settings. 1,2 and 3 (most reclined).

It reclines a solid amount for the size of the stroller. If you are looking for something that has a full lay down recline option. ... this isn't the stRoller for you

It reclines but not to a flat position. But most umbrella strollers are designed this way and also not recommended until 6 months or so when they can sit up unassisted. It's a great stroller for when you fly, quick outings and going places that are really crowded and make larger strollers difficult. Plus it fits our tractor loving boy's personality.

Yes. I recline the back so it is flat often when my baby falls asleep on walks or I need to change a diaper and just have the stroller to put him down in.

I think it depends on how old your infant is..My twin were 8 months old when I purchased the stroller and they were sitting up a little on their own....It does recline all the back and your toddler will be very comfortable

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

The seat reclines to almost flat. When in the fully upright position it does lean back a bit. My 9 mo old does not like to lean back and so we do not use the shoulder straps so that she can sit upright if she likes. There are times when she is willing to relax and she is very comfortable with her back on the stroller back.

The seat is adjustable to recline or sit upright. It does not sit at 90 degrees, the child will always be a little reclined. We love the stroller!

It reclines a fair bit, but not all the way flat. It would be best suited to a 6 months and older baby, in my opinion. Good running about stroller, but wouldn't use it as your main stroller.

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.

The fit chart on the Britax website for this car seat mentions a seated shoulder height range of "Rear Facing : 9 - 16.75 inches". I always just moved my kids forward facing when their legs got too cramped after they passed their one year birthday. But I had longer kids. Hope this helps.

The seat has 2 or 3 recline settings. I set it at maximum recline in my car and still had the issues I wrote about in my review.

It does not recline. It just elevates the baby and contains them in a snug position.

We bought the car seat adapter for our newborn. But the seats do fully recline so a younger baby can ride too - maybe starting at about 12 weeks or so.

It is pictured in a partially reclined position. It can sit completely upright and it doesn't lay back fully flat but close. I highly recommend going to a baby store and trying it out just to be sure it's the exact one for you. We love ours, but we always test drove our strollers first.

Once baby can sit up well you can think about making the switch. Babies vary so much in size and it is really more of a developmental issue. You could of course "prop" your baby, but if things start shifting, while you are jogging, you won't have a happy baby anymore. As a car-seat, the limitations are: 32" or 35 pounds, which ever comes first. But this is for crash safety, which shouldn't be a problem for stroller use, as long as your baby is comfortable. Hope this helps you sort it out. ENJOY your baby!
