For your child's safety, the Car Seat must be properly reclined when
installed in the vehicle. The Car Seat includes a Seat Angle Indicator
on the lower portion of the shell on the child's left side, to assist in
achieving the proper angle of recline for the Car Seat.
1. Park your vehicle on a level surface so that the Seat Angle Indicator
located on the left side of the Car Seat will properly indicate the
proper angle of recline of the seat.

Car Seat with Base:
• Place Base on vehicle seat and lock car
seat onto base. Check that the car seat is
level side to side. (Fig 60-1)
• Check the Seat Angle Indicator that
matches the weight of your child. (Fig 60-2)
• If the Seat Angle Indicator shows NO red,
the seat is installed at the proper seat
recline angle.
• If the Seat Angle Indicator shows ANY red,
the Car Seat is either too upright or too
reclined. If the seat is too upright, extend the
foot one position at a time just until no red
shows. To extend the foot of the base, press
upward on the hand hold as shown in
(Fig 60-3) while holding onto the base. To
retract the foot, press inward on the Foot
Adjustment Lock Button as shown in
(Fig 60-4) and push upward on the foot.
Be careful not to pinch your finger as the
foot retracts.
Re-tighten the vehicle seat belt. Check the
Seat Angle Indicator to see if the seat is now
level (no red showing).
