Failure to properly recline the safety seat on the vehicle seat increases
the risk of serious injury or death.
If the safety seat is too upright, a child’s head may
drop forward and cause breathing problems.
If the safety seat is too reclined, a crash could put
too much force on a child’s neck and shoulders.
The safety seat must be properly reclined
according to the following instructions.
