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.

7.5 Reclining Infant Restraint/Base
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.
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.
