Is there a way to stop the seat-height from going down when reclining? I have my seat all the way up and when I lean back, it makes the seat go down!

I did experience this when I first put it together. I noticed it happened when I was positioned a bit too forward on the seat. I doesn't seem to to do it anymore, so I figure it was a quirk that happened when it was first put together.

It should not so that! You may want to re-check the cables under the seat to make sure they are secured properly.I'm 6'1'' and 235 lbs. and lean back frequently...never had the the problem you describe.

I've not actually experienced this. You might have a defective pump, although I can't be certain.

I never had any problem or even thought about it until the question arose, so I went out and tried to see how it worked for me. I back up to the chair from the side (either one) with the back of one leg close to the armrest and grab the armrest with the closest hand. Then I grab the frame of the chair with the other hand close to the back of my other leg. While holding the chair against both legs I then proceed to sit with no problems, and simply swing into a reclining position. Then I reverse the procedure to exit the chair. Hope this helps!

Yes. Pull the side lever out (away from the chair). This should make it recline back.

This is a constant problem. I have found that if I lean forward while pushing down the footrest it will close easier. I think it helps to redistribute the weight ( I only weigh 120 lbs.) I really like the chair and it was a great buy but this seems to be a real design flaw.

My recliner actually was in a constant tilted position. When I would rock, I literally felt like I was falling completely backwards. So in my opinion, yes it reclines way too much. We trashed it after just two months.

I think if I can get the seat stabilized it will be comfortable. Have tightend the screws as noted above. Up/down movement has stopped, but the seat still moves left to right when riding. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi, are you talking about the top seat or the bottom seat? I have found that sometimes you have to give the top seat a little wiggle for it recline down and back up. Once you get the hang of it though, not a big issue. Overall, I love the stroller- we travel all around the world with it. Hope this helps!

The knob in front under chair adjusts the tension of the lean. the lever on the side that adjusts height also allows for tilt if you pull it out to the right. it leans pretty far, but u may have to loosen the knob to get the tension where u need it for easy recline. .

No... maybe the chair was changed at some point, but my chair is static and the seat back is actually angled slightly forward. Very uncomfortable! imo

Yes, this chair has tilt! I'm reclining in mine as I type. There is a knob you turn underneath the chair to the desired tilt you want. There is a lever also underneath and to the side that you pull out for tilt ... and push back in for stationary non tilt.

It rocks backwards, but there's not a way to lock it into a reclining position. You may, however, lock it into its upright position if yours has a tilt-limiter.

It is possible to have the footrest up without reclining, however, shifting your body can make it start to fall back. There's nothing that really locks the back in a position to keep it from reclining. I've found that as I sit in the chair with the footrest up, the back will slowly start to go back when I shift or move. It's not hard to adjust, though, to bring it back up to where I want it. I've also found that putting a pillow behind my head while having the back fully reclined, gives me a chance to see the TV, but I often fall asleep in that position.

That only happened occasionally when my daughter fell asleep. Make sure if he is rear facing that before install you have reclined the seat all the way. Another thing we did to prevent this was adjust the height so that the head piece was more level with her head/ears; this actually seems to have fixed the problem with her head flopping forward because she can rest it to the side better.

There are three different recline settings. Do you have it in the most reclined setting?

The back raises and lowers independently from the footrest, so it can be as straight up or as reclined as you want. However, when using the chair to raise up into a standing position or lower into a seated position, once the footrest is completely down, the entire chair continues to rock forward. Once the footrest is completely up, the entire chair will continue to rock back. If you are using the back in the most upright position, the back may end up leaning forward (see the photo of it raising), but it will rock back into just the upright position when you sit down again. You can also leave the footrest down and use the chair like a regular chair rather than a recliner. The controls are easy to reach and easy to use.

Did you purchase the ottoman along with the chair? We have that too, and I use it every time I'm in it and that probably helps prevent leaning. I'm not sure how to adjust it, sorry, not much help here!

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.
