ANGULAR ADJUSTMENT OF RESTRAINT

Some vehicle seats have more rearward slope than others. If the angle of the seat causes the baby to
be too upright for comfort, the angle may be altered by placing a firm packing between the seat and
the underside of the base. Packing can be a firmly rolled up towel.

Do not remove all of the rearward slope by over packing. Always leave a rearward slope angle of
approximately 10 to 15 degrees as shown

10° to 15°

The stabilising
bar does not
need to contact
the back of the
car's seat.
