Child Seat Functions

Forward-Facing

IMPORTANT: In forward-facing installations, it is important that the base of the child seat rests completely flat on the vehicle seat. As illustrated below, it is permissible to allow up to 20% or 3 inches (7.6 cm) of the base to hang over the edge of the vehicle seat. Some vehicle seats do not allow enough of the child seat base to contact the vehicle seat. If this is the case, adjust the recline angle to a more upright position. Not doing so could cause the child seat not to perform as intended.

UP TO 3 INCHES OF OVERHANG ACCEPTABLE

OVER 3 INCHES OF OVERHANG NOT ACCEPTABLE

WARNING: In some cases, the vehicle head restraint can prevent the child seat head restraint from being raised high enough to properly

adjust the harness for the fit of your child when using

a forward facing reclined position. DO NOT force the child seat head restraint past the vehicle head

restraint. Doing so could cause the child seat not to perform as intended. If the location of the vehicle

head restraint interferes with the child seat head

restraint, raise or remove the vehicle head restraint. If the vehicle head restraint cannot be removed, move the child seat to the upright position or try a different seating location.
