rf seats that do not need to be 45*

babyherder · Oct 22, 2011

I'm looking for a convertible that is not required to be reclined to 45*. I use my car seats with other people's children so I don't feel comfortable going against the instructions. I would probably be fine doing it with my own children but I don't think its my place to do so for other people's children. So I need to know the seats and/or brands that allow more upright installations. I don't need to get anything now but I like to have time to look for good deals and be prepared when I do need something. Thanks!

The MyRide has a pretty wide range for the recline and is on sale for $100 at Target. The TrueFit has a more upright recline for older children as well. Those are the two that come to mind for me. Probably since I own them. LOL

ETA: Britax allows anywhere from 35-45 degrees.

Britax is 30-45.
Graco have a range that approximates 30-45.
TrueFit is 35-45.
Radian allows anything 45 or more upright.

Coccoro is fixed angle.
Evenflo is fixed.
Dorel is fixed, except some of the newest seats that might not even be out yet. Oh, the Pria 70 is a fixed angle, but it's an upright angle for older kids.

I was gonna reply but Pixels provided a most comprehensive list!

Thank you, Pixels! That's exactly what I needed to know. And thank you, CrunchyMaineMama and Carrie_R. I appreciate the help. I know the myride is on sale but I don't have a kiddo to use it with at the moment. But at least now I know what I'm looking for when the time comes. And I can keep my eyes open for anything on clearance. Don't know if I'll do any better than $100 for a myride but I just can't bring myself to spend the money right now...sigh

How old are the kiddos you're transporting? I feel like this may be a redundant statement, but you know the full 45 degree is *usually* only needed for n00bs?

I'm sort of interviewing with 2 families. One has a 10 month old and the other has a 14 month old. Both would be safe more upright but when transporting other people's children I try very hard to follow the instructions. Having a seat installed at a 45* angle is harder to fit in my car and not very practical for older children. I might end up going that route just so I don't have to spend so much
