Section 10 - Installing the Infant Car Seat without the Base
Decide where in the vehicle to install the
infant car seat.
Check that the infant car seat will sit firmly
in that position.
To position the infant car seat at the correct
angle adjust it until the line on the side labels
is level.
If it is not possible to get the infant car seat
sitting firmly and level move it to another
position in the vehicle or do not install in that
vehicle.
Some models have a rebound bar for
additional stability in the vehicle. Infant car
seats having this bar must still be positioned
as shown by the line on the label.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE INFANT
CAR SEAT
Some vehicle seats do not provide enough
support to hold the infant car seat up at the
required angle.
If extra support is required a tightly rolled
towel or firm foam roll (pool noodle) can be
used.
WARNING: Not all vehicle belts are
suitable for an infant car seat
installation.
See Section 11 for more information
on suitable vehicle belts.
Any extra support used to hold the infant car
seat up must not interfere with the Vehicle
Belts.
