it is a little hard to install forward-facing (but no more than any other seat).

she is still rear facing, because of the natural recline of the carseat the front passenger seat has to be slightly upright.

the family endorses this carseat because it can be used for forward and rear facing, and it accomidates children to a whopping 80lbs!

from looking at the picture, for forward-facing, it should be on the left side of the seat.
from www.amazon.com
we loved the low profile on the vehicle seat (it doesn't have a huge base to obstruct the rearview) and it's easy to install forward-facing with the latch.

The First Years True Fit

Best Price: $170.00

due to it's ability to accomodate a larger child, it does take up quite a bit of room for rear-facing (seat in front loses legroom) especially for a younger child needing the full 45 deg.

i haven't turned the seat facing forward yet, but it looks like there is plenty of room for a growing child.
from www.amazon.com
i also don't have any trouble adjusting the seat harness -- but it is currently at a 45 degree angle rear facing, so i may have trouble when it isn't so reclined.
from www.amazon.com
the only reason i did not give this car seat 5 stars is because it is not set up the best for rear facing.
from www.amazon.com
it is easy to install forward-facing in my very small car, although i could not get it secure without using the latch hooks (i didn't even know my car had them at first!).

from Naomi Bowman, www.elitecarseats.com
we would have purchased this one in the first place, but it did not fit rear-facing in our import car at the time.
from K. B., www.elitecarseats.com
the intent of a recline on a convertible car seat, is so that when installed rear facing, it can be adjusted so that the baby is at a 45 degree angle, to ensure proper breathing.

two, it is a bit too big (in the rear-facing position only) for my small, two-door civic.

a small or mid-sized sedan.....if you are taller than 5ft 6in, you won't be able to move the driver or passenger seats very far when the seat is in the rear facing position for infants under a year.
from www.target.com
only problem is rear facing it was too big for my car (00 plymoth neon), and the person up front had no room.
from store.babycenter.com
she's turning 3 next month and since she's small (28lbs, 35inches) this seat is great because it can keep her rear facing until she becomes 33lbs.
from Jerome78, www.target.com
but it fits perfect in the back seat (rear-facing).
from store.babycenter.com
the only problem i have with this seat is that in my moms car (an isuzu trooper) his seat faces rear in the back seat, but there isn't enough room for it to completely recline.
