Ground Level must be within the recline
range designated for the age of the child.
If an acceptable recline level cannot be
achieved using the vehicle seat back
adjustment, if vehicle owner’s manual allows
multiple positions, it may be necessary to
place a rolled towel or pool noodle under
the foot end of the car seat to achieve an
acceptable recline level.
Verify Ground Level is within the recline
range designated for the age of the child as
shown in Figure 25. If not, go back to Step 7
adjust the recline level and try installing
again, or move the seat to a different vehicle
seating position.
IMPORTANT: If the seat is reclined too much,
the child could be ejected from the car seat
in a crash. If too upright, infants could have
difficulty breathing.
