No forward facing. I tried shoving towels under the edge, but it's a latch system one and rigid, so the seat becomes loose when the front is lifted. It just doesn't make good contact with the X5 seats.

Propeller, that looks interesting. Does she sleep in it? How is the head tilt situation?

dunno if they even Have them anymore, but yeah, it was a bright yellow crib toy, when "wow this is SOOooo Soft" stuff first hit the market. We kinda' made it part of the whole loading her up action, since she had no idea why we were doing all this shite anyway with five points and all that.. so she had a chin softy every time and thankfully didn't mind. If she did fall asleep, at least she didn't look like a broken neck victim - I swear her chin was pressing her windpipe without it, lol. Did I mention this seat was huge? Her nothing pounds Sank into it at home, but no-joy in the car..

The cybex is 3yrs and up?

The reason she wanted this seat for her mother's E46 (over and above the backless one that is in my X) is so that she would have a head rest. She sleeps in it on a long trip (when we change it to the X) or after a rough day. She leans her head to one side and seems much more comfortable (and safe) than resting her neck on the seat belt.

It's also really sturdy. There's a video on YouTube that really sold me on it. Some mom reviews seats or something. I particularly like the side impact protection. I don't know if it would really help or not when it is time, but she fits INTO this thing as it wraps around her. It makes me *feel* better than the backless one, anyway. That's why it's LATCHed in the lower E46 where she spends the most time.
