Infant Positioning Pillow

The infant positioning pillow
is designed to provide better
harness fit and comfort for
infants using this child seat.
IMPORTANT: The infant
positioning pillow must be
used with infants weighing up
to 10 kg (22 lbs) when using
a child seat in a rear-facing
position. Do not use over 10 kg
(22 lbs) or in a forward-facing
position.

Seat Positions

BOULEVARD Canadian User Guide
Rear-Facing
When properly installed in the rear-
facing position, the back angle of the
child seat should be at least 30˚ for
children and up to 45˚ from vertical for
infants unable to maintain head and
neck control (not to exceed 45˚) when
the car is parked on a level surface.
Use the line as a guide to achieve the proper recline angle
for rear-facing installations. The line will be parallel to the
ground when the child seat angle is at the center of the
acceptable angle range (37.5˚). If necessary, the proper
recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled towel or
pool noodle in the vehicle seat bight.
Forward-Facing
In forward-facing
installations, it is
important that the base
of the child seat rests
completely flat on the
vehicle seat. As seen
in the illustration, it is
permissible to allow up
to 20% or 7.6 cm (3 in.)
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 to not perform as intended.
In some cases, the vehicle head
restraint can prevent the child seat
head pad 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 pad
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 pad, 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.
