I'm installing DD's Graco ComfortSport , rear facing in Toyota Sienna, but even though the ball is in the green zone indicating a proper recline angle, she seems too far upright. Can I send pics to you experts to have you see what you think about our angle?

Sure, send pics along. How old is she? More upright is fine for older kids, as long as her head doesn't flop forward onto her chest when she's sleeping. Usually that seat requires a rolled towel or leveler or pool noodle to be at a comfortable recline, though.

Harper is 6 m old, and her head does flop forward when she falls asleep in the seat. I have a towel rolled up under the front of the seat, but it doesn't seem to be enough. I hope you can access the pics here. If not, let me know and I can try to find another way!

I have an account, so I could log in and see the cute baby. Oh... um... I'm supposed to look at the seat underneath her? ;)

Yeah, that's definitely a better angle for a much older kid... get a bigger towel or cut up a pool noodle (like this http://www.carseatsite.com/threenoodle.jpg ), and that should take care of it nicely.

Thanks so much! (For the compliment and for the advice!) I'll be off in search of a noodle tomorrow!
