Check for Proper Recline
Make sure level lines on side

if needed.
You may need to place a large
rolled towel (A) or foam pool
noodles under the front of the
child restraint to allow the
level line on the side of the
plastic shell to be level with the
ground. Check often to be sure
padding is still in place and the
