Can the child sit both facing out and facing in? ( towards the mother or seeing the world )

The baby has to face the mothers body But can be worn on the mothers front or on her back or on her hip

No, this is not a forward facing carrier. Forward facing is bad for hip development and can cause hip dysplasia.

Yes, I have it set up that way. It's somewhat convex, so that helps the field of vision. You just choose a headrest and angle the mirror so both car seats are visible.

I think the directions say you have to put it in the reclined position for rear facing. My son is 21 months and that still is how he sits (though I'm sure he's ready to turn around as soon as I am).

Yes. Mine is installed rear-facing and will be turned around when the baby gets older. Fits perfectly in rear-facing position.

Hi Claire. I have used this car seat rear facing until my youngest was almost two years old. I made ir front facing when it started to be uncorfortable to her, but she was about 22 months old then. So, I think it'll depend on how fast your child grows.

The manual and on the product state that the carrier is not for forward facing infant. You can wear the carrier on your back so the baby would be facing outward.

It is only to be used rear facing. Keep your child rear facing as long as possible. I was recently in an accident that totaled my car and because I had kept her in a rear-facing car seat (not this one because she outgrew it because of her height) she walked away without a scratch.

Mine are not forward facing, as of yet, but the head rest is close enough that my children's heads do not really move. Plus the head rest moves up and down, so depending on how big your child is, you can make it fit comfortably.

Yes! It's a convertible car seat, which means it can switch from rear to front facing as your child grows. There are separate seat belt paths for installation that are for front or rear facing configurations. :)

you can decide the angle of inclination . My granddaughter is 3 years and is perfect for her

There is no special mechanism to accomplish this but the fabric is easily moved to the sides and held back by the handles of our car seat so our little one can see the world. We love ours!

No. The seat is in a fixed position for safety. When the seat is in the backward facing position it is just fine for an infant. When moved to a front facing position, the toddler sits in a safe vertical position.

You "can," but I wouldn't. It's actually quite dangerous to forward face a child before 2 because their heads are disproportionately large and neck muscles are quite weak. It can cause internal decapitation as well other injuries in the event of a serious crash. A convertible Cosco would be safer (in the rear-facing position) and cheaper for the visiting child. $39 at Walmart.

It is inward facing only, but when the baby is old enough it can go on back (back pack style). It is a great product. I have used it for two babies, and my 18 month old is still riding in the backpack. I love it!!!!

Yes it can face both directions. This item was perfect for my mom with disability.

Depends on the recline of the seat and how big your baby is. My 14 month old can see out.

No, you can not. Whether you have the baby on your back or in front they must be facing you. My baby still loves it.
