There are situations in which caregivers want to have their child ride in a reclined, forward-facing child restraint.*  Some products allow use in this position, while others do not.  (Some vehicle seats have such a slope that even an upright child restraint (CR) is quite reclined when installed.)

This recline feature can be helpful on long journeys or when a child has difficulty sitting upright or holding up his or her head. 

Click here (xls) for a list of current models that can be used in the reclined position when forward facing.

 *NOTE: A child under age 2 should ride rear facing as long as possible, within the height and weight limits of his or her CR.

We are in the process of updating the list of forward-facing CRs that can be used in the reclined position.
