6.5 Reclining Infant Restraint/Base

For your child’s safety, it is important that your infant restraint/base be properly reclined. Attached to the side of your infant restraint is a level indicator to help properly recline the infant restraint/base on the vehicle seat.

Failure to properly recline the infant restraint on the vehicle seat increases the risk of serious injury or death.

If the infant restraint is too upright, a child’s head may drop forward and cause breathing problems.

If the infant restraint is too reclined, a crash

could put too much force on a child’s neck

and shoulders.

The infant restraint must be properly reclined according to the following instructions.

Check the level indicator. You must look straight on at the indicator.

—If the indicator shows ONLY blue, the infant restraint is properly leveled.

—If any orange is showing in the level indicator adjust the recline.
