Fully Recline and Place
Child Restraint in the
Back Seat Rear Facing
For children 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
up unassisted,
rotate the
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) (A)
or foam pool noodle(s)
under the front of the child
restraint to allow the level-
to-ground line on the side
of the shell that matches
your child’s weight to be
level with the ground.
Check often to be sure padding is still in place and the belt
is tight.
