Infant Positioning Pillow

The infant positioning pillow
is designed to provide better
harness fit and comfort for
infants using this child seat.
IMPORTANT: The infant
positioning pillow must be
used with infants weighing up
to 22 lbs (10 kg) when using
a child seat in a rear-facing
position. Do not use pillow
over 22 lbs (10 kg) or in a
forward-facing position.

Seat Positions

This child seat has 3 positions. To adjust, pull the recline
handle then rotate the child seat shell into the desired

Rear-Facing
When properly installed in the rear-facing
position, the recline angle of the child seat
should be at least 30˚ for children and up
to 45˚ from vertical for infants unable to
maintain head and neck control (not to
exceed 45˚) when the car is parked on a
level surface.
Use the line as a guide to achieve the proper recline angle
for rear-facing installations. The line will be parallel to the
ground when the child seat angle is at the center of the
acceptable angle range (37.5˚). If necessary, the proper
recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled towel or
pool noodle in the vehicle seat bight.
Overhang
It is important that
the base of the child
seat rests completely
flat on the vehicle
seat with no side
overhang. As seen
in the illustration, it is
permissible to allow
up to 3 in. (7.6 cm) of
the base to hang over
Acceptable
the front edge of the
Forward Facing
vehicle seat. Some
vehicle seats do not allow enough of the child seat base
to contact the vehicle seat. If this is the case for a forward-
facing installation, adjust the seat to the upright position.
For a rear-facing installation, choose another seating position.
Not doing so could cause the child seat to not perform as
intended.
In some cases, the vehicle head
restraint can prevent the child seat
head restraint/head pad from being
raised high enough to properly adjust
the harness for the fit of your child
when using a forward facing reclined
position. DO NOT force the child seat
head restraint/head pad past the
vehicle head restraint. Doing so could cause the child seat
not to perform as intended. If the location of the vehicle
head restraint interferes with the child seat head pad,
raise or remove the vehicle head restraint. If the vehicle
head restraint cannot be removed, move the child seat
to the upright position or try a different seating location.
