I just bought an Alpha-Omega seat, and installed and at the most reclined rear facing position it's nearly sitting upright. My seats have a decline to them, and I think this is causing a problem. Even if I thought this was the correct position, my son would be slumped over forward if he ever fell asleep in it.
He's only 6 months old, but he's 26" tall and 20 pounds. He's nearly outgrown the Chicco seat, so we're trying to find seats that will fit our vehicles.

My wife has a Grand Prix GT, and I have an 04' Tahoe with captain seats in the rear.

I would like to get the convertible seat, but if I have to I'll get a larger rear facing, and get the booster when the time comes.

Please help!

thanks

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.

	Convertible Car Seats Convertible seats are for infants and toddlers. The seat can be used as a rear-facing seats for younger children, and switched to a forward-facing seat on the child's first birthday if the child weighs at least 20 pounds. However, experts recommend keeping the child in a rear-facing position until he or she outgrows the weight or height allowed by the safety seat.

	Booster Seat A booster seat raises your child up so that the car's lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of the shoulder and chest. A booster seat is used for older children up to about 80 pounds. Some states have passed laws requiring booster seats for children up to age 8 or 80 pounds. Check your state's law.
