seat back position rear facing

I have decided to put my 21 month old daughter rear facing since I've read it's safer. My question is, can I recline the seat back so she can stretch out her legs. I have her in a britax roundabout without LATCH, in a '02 Odyssey. The car seat is tethered. Moving the seat back doesn't seem to bother the position of the car seat, but I just wasn't sure if it was a safe thing to do. I also have my 5 month old in a roundabout with LATCH I have the question for her since she will eventually need the room. Thanks for any input.

It should be fine (more)

As long as your carseat remains installed tightly, this is a great way to get more leg room rear-facing. There is a photo of my daughter in a Roundabout and Odyssey at the bottom of this page:

I hope that helps!

Thanks a lot, now I can rest easy. I'm sure my daughter thanks you too.
