I think I've read something about installing the Radian with more of a recline even if it is forward-facing. I'm not seeing anything the manual about installing the Radian in a reclining position. Is there a way to do that so that my DS is more comfortable when he falls asleep in the Radian? If this information is in the manual, please tell me specifically where to look.

Thanks for you help!

There's a plate on the bottom (well, it's the whole bottom, actually) of the seat that has a U-shaped groove in it and there's a metal bar about under the adjuster...the plate slides down and the metal bar moves from one side of the U to the other, and that's the recline. It's not a lot, but it might help.
Ok, found it, page 27 on this manual http://www.skjp.com/media/Radian80-manual.pdf (not sure if you want to try to read that online, it should be similar in your paper copy...and that's the RN 80 model, but a picture of the 65, so it's the same).

We have both the R65 and R80 and the recline "plate" under teh seat is the same in both. Lowering this plate does provide a more-reclined installation and it is enough of a recline that my daughter can sleep comfortably without her head falling forward at all. HTH.
