If you’re having trouble reclining your car seat into a lying or more reclined position, this is usually related to how the recline mechanism is used, not a fault with the seat.
On car seats like the Maxi-Cosi Pebble 360 Pro2, the recline function works by unlocking the seat with a dedicated recline handle before adjusting the position.

✅ If the seat does not recline – try these tips
1. Confusion with the harness adjustment
Make sure you are using the recline handle, not the harness strap adjuster.
The recline handle (often white) controls the 5 recline positions, while the harness adjuster only tightens or loosens the belts.
2. Recline lever feels stuck or does not move
Do not just push the seat backwards.
Pull the recline lever towards you first to unlock it, then gently push the seat back while holding the lever.
