Check for Proper
Recline
Make sure level line on
side of shell is level with
the ground. Adjust child
restraint if needed.
You may need to place
a rolled towel(s) or foam
pool noodle(s) (A) 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
vehicle belt is tight.
