IMPORTANT!
When correctly reclined, the red
line on the shell will be level with the ground and
the back angle of the child restraint should be
approximately 45°. If there is a problem achieving
the back angle, place a rolled towel under the front
of the base to help level the restraint
(see page 19,
Fig. 5).

Only raise base as described above. Do
not raise the base off of the front edge
of vehicle seat; doing so will reduce the
protection for your child.

Always use in reclined position in rear-
