Does this stroller offer a rear-facing option? Or does the seat only face forward? Thanks!

The seat is forward facing only but you can buy a car seat adaptor to make it rear facing for babies.

Only forward facing. However, infant seats face backward with attachment bar.

The seat only faces forward. The only way to have your child face backwards would be in their carrier attached to the stroller. If you want to be able to change the seat direction look at the Baby Jogger City Select or Baby Jogger City Versa.

Yep! It only sits upright for forward facing. It leans back for rear facing same as a newborn car seat.

It can be placed rear facing but you would have to check manufacturers minimum weight for using it for a baby

Rear facing, Not unless the driver is short and the seat is moved forward a bit. This is a fantastic seat but massive.

it can face forward but withour the rotating base, yo can use both the seatbelt or the latch system.

No. This one is for only the front. But you can have the baby face forward instead of you.

Hi, we love the stroller and use it all the time, unfortunately, it does not face backward.

It does face forward although fits oddly in my Subaru and 4runner. Not my favorite seat.

with one seat in the rear facing forward you can fold it with carseat adaptor in front. Also it folds with the adaptor in the back and no seat in front. We always take the front seat off no matter what when loading option we use unless is the adaptor. If you get this stroller i recommend having the oldest child not get used to sitting in front because it is harder to push with the heavier weight in front. We are trying to get our oldest to sit in the rear seat now and its a challenge. if you need an option for a cup holder i also have one if you choose this and we love it.

Yes, you can either have your baby facing forward or facing you. It's one of the things I love about the VISTA!

Infinite really. It is very maneuverable. All you have to do is depress the levers to adjust the rotation or recline of the seat. The seat can hold any recline position and face any direction once the lever is released. Little ones can sit straight up, lay down, or degree in between. Keep in mind that when facing forward, the seat can recline a good deal but it cannot recline all the way down because the seat will eventually hit the handle bars of the stroller base. To reline all the way down, the seat must be facing a direction where the stroller base handle bars will not get in the way--for example, rear facing position. Hope this helps.

The seat does recline. My grip with this stroller is that the front wheel is rigid and will not turn side to side.

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.

Both seats recline, but they must be facing the same direction. I love this stroller. I have twin 18 month old boys and this stroller has been a life saver. They love to face each other. It is bulky when folded is the only down side but most double strollers are.

It is only a forward facing car seat. Yes it does recline. It is a little tricky and YouTube has a great tutorial on how to get it to recline.

No - the Indie is only forward facing, but has almost a lay-flat recline to it, which is very nice. Overall, this is a GREAT stroller and we always get compliments on it wherever we go. Plus, our daughter loves it!

It's a rear-facing, forward-facing & it reclines. It's not a booster. It also has a higher weight rating than others that I considered. Hope this helps.
