Recline Positions

then verify the child seat has locked into position.

Rear-Facing
When installed in the rear-facing position, the child
seat should be reclined at least 30˚ from vertical
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. When installing the seat in rear-facing
mode, recline the seat to position 3 and use the
guide line on the child seat to help achieve an
acceptable recline angle for rear-facing installations.

Forward-Facing
IMPORTANT: In forward-facing installations, it is important that the base of
the child seat rests completely flat on the vehicle seat. As illustrated below,
it is permissible to allow up to 20% or 7.6 cm (3 inches) 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 not to perform as intended.

WARNING:
In some cases, the vehicle
head restraint can prevent the child seat head
restraint 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 restraint 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 restraint, 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.
