Can a child fit on the back seat if the front is fully reclined?

No...when the front seat is reclined, the rear child won't be able to sit comfortably, but he/she can ride standing on the platform.

We installed on the front seat head rests as well. You can make minor adjustments back and forth, but you cannot really recline the seat backwards. Any adjustments are minor. I haven't found a product yet that allowed for much seat adjustment.

Yes. It says in the instructions that came with it that you can use it with a Combi infant seat so it has to lay flat somehow. I haven't reclined it all the way but I've reclined it back a bit. It's easy to adjust the seat. I can look at the instructions if you want more info on reclining the seats.

Depends on how long you want to keep him facing backwards, but I'm not sure what seat you have matters for that. My boy is about 34" tall right now and his legs are a little scrunched up, but he's still good for long trips. If you are going for forward facing, you'll need a Suburban to get away from the kicking in the back of your front seat, but that has more to do with the car than the car seat. Basically, your car makes a lot more difference with the legs than the car seat. I can't imagine that this seat would give a long-legged child any trouble.

The seat back is quite thick. I drive a Volvo S60, and there is limited space in my back seats as well, however, it is not so drastic that I wouldn't use the carseat. I would imagine that the car seat would have to be substantially thicker to pose a safety risk because your child was too close behind the seat. I would say that the safety benefits far outweigh the risks.

I got this seat for my son at 1 years old. He was 23 lbs and 32" your child is at min weight but he may not be ready to sit in this seat. In my opinion he's very young. Plus I think he still needs to face the back of the car. If you like this kind of seat I would get one with the recliner feature. So he sits a bit craddled. I would do a bit more research.

The headrest doe not recline. The entire seat back adjusts to the angle in your vehicle, and the upper headrest area adjusts up and down to position it properly for your child. We particularly chose this model for the extended side protection in that event. Our daughter does not sleep much in the car, however if she does we find she rests her head on either side of the padded side protection because of the design.

You should be able to. I've been using it with my son (and seat fully reclined) since about 2 months.

I don't think so. My wife is 5'1"" and I have the back seat almost all the way down for her. I've had 10 year old kids on the back but I think unless its a tall kid 8 years old is likely the youngest you can sit there.

No recline in the toddler position but it is "reclined" in the infant position. BTW this is a Wonderful car seat, with ample padding and comfort. Easy to clean. So Great I bought one for our son also!

It has 3 positions when rear facing, upright, almost upright, and a position that is approx 45 degrees. Yes you can recline when the baby is in the seat, although it might be difficult because the lever is located near the child's feet, so it is close to the back seat of the car if it is this in a rear facing position.

Wouldn't really work as there's a slight recline in all the positions. The seat back doesn't make a perfect 90 degree angle so one kid would always be squished forward. That said, we have done kid in the front and small dog in the back.

No, it doesn't recline though you can take the back of the seat off to use more as a booster seat.

Our 4-year-old does fit comfortably. She is a bit small for her age, but not overly so. We do always put her in the front, though, because the back seats do not sit completely upright. Our five-year-old even fits in the front. Although, she doesn't have much leg room.

No it does not recline, I don't think there are any seats that do, saftey would be compermised. It seems very comfortable my three yr old loves it, she lays her head in either side when she sleeps.

Yes, the car seat can go in the back. Actually I believe that is how it is suppose to go.
