3. Fully Recline and Place

For children between
5-22 lbs (2.3-10 kg),
the bottom level to ground
line MUST be level to the
ground.
For children 22-40 lbs
(10.1-18 kg) and can sit

child restraint between the
2 level to ground lines. Start
by making the bottom level to
ground line level, then rotate
seat up. DO NOT rotate past
the top most upright level to
ground line.
Adjust child restraint if
needed.
You may need to place a
large rolled towel(s) or foam
pool noodle(s) (A) under the
A
front of the child restraint
to help achieve the correct
recline. Check often to be
sure padding is still in place
and the vehicle belt is tight.
