Driver and Passenger Safety
Infant Seat Installation Tips
For proper protection, an infant must
ride in a reclined, or semi-reclined
position. To determine the proper
reclining angle, check with the baby's
doctor or follow the seat maker's
recommendations.
To achieve the desired reclining
angle, it may help to put a rolled up
29 to
towel under the toe of the child seat,
as shown above.
When properly installed a rear-facing
child seat may prevent the driver or
a front-seat passenger from moving
their seat as far back as
recommended (see page
may prevent them from locking their
seat-back in the desired upright
position (see page 11).
In either case, we recommend that
you place the child seat in another
back seating position, or leave the
affected seat unoccupied. If the
problem cannot be solved, you may
wish to get a smaller rear-facing
child seat.
