Can’t answer re bassinet, nor exact amount of recline.

but it reclines, and more than a token amount.

the key plus for me are the leg rests in the first row.. My feet don’t stay on the small bar they give you feet in the 2nd and further back rows.

Taller people complain about the leg rests, I’m 5’ 10” and think they are great.

I don’t think the recline is different by row.
