Yes, the seat on the GB Qbit stroller does recline, BUT not very much. It’s actually almost a non-existent recline. If we had to guess at the angle that the seat lays back to, it would be maybe 95-100 degrees, where 90 degrees is straight up and down and 180 degrees is completely flat. It’s really crazy that the seat doesn’t lay down further and really a huge reason why we’re not in love with this stroller, especially when you consider that other strollers with more features, that are lighter and less expensive like the ZOE XL1 have a much better recline.
