Properly Reclining the Safety Seat/Base
For your child’s safety, it is important that your safety seat/base be properly reclined. Attached to the side of your safety seat is a level indicator to help properly recline the safety seat/base on the vehicle seat.
Failure to properly recline the safety seat on the vehicle seat increases the risk of serious injury or death.
If the safety seat is too upright, a child’s head may drop forward and cause breathing problems.
If the safety seat is too reclined, a crash could put too much force on a child’s neck and shoulders.
The safety seat must be properly reclined according to the following instructions.
