Installed rock solid ...at a 35 degree angle ...

I noticed today however both babies heads slumped forward when they were sleeping ..

Should we adjust this to a 45? It already has a rolled towel under it ...

I dont feel comfy with them like this at all!

Thanks!

If they are slumping forward, and not to the side, then yes, I would recline it back a little more.

Yep, exactly.

Just because a baby *can* be more upright doesn't mean they have to be. And many kids can't tolerate a fully upright angle at that age. Based on your siggy your twins are 7mos old, right? So I'd aim to have them more at a 40* angle. You shouldn't need the line level to ground, but just a little more upright than that. You may need to use a larger rolled towel for the angle, or change how you're pressing on the seat when tightening the belt in order to get them a bit more reclined.

FWIW, my ds is almost 3 and still rides at probably closer to a 40* angle. There's no risk in having them reclined more provided the seat isn't over-reclined. :thumbsup:
