Top Tether trap 18 Recline Angle The vehicle installation is controlled by the angle of the vehicle seat, and these angles vary greatly between vehicles. The vehicle seat angle or the contours of the vehicle seat could place the child restraint either too upright or too recline. A rearward facing restraint should always be installed so that the back surface is reclined just enough to allow the infant's head. to lie back comfortably, but not more than 45° from vertical. This measurement is taken ‘when your infant is laying in the child restraint and is in direct contact with this back surface, s0 it's extremely import to maintain the required angle. Z\ IMPORTANT Your infant should NEVER be too upright or too recline. o TOO UPRIGHT (less than 35° from vertical) could lead to the infants head flopping forward and potentially pinching off the airway. TOO RECLINED (greater than 45° from vertical) could lead to the infants body sliding ‘up’ towards the top of the restraint. Which could promote a compressive load ‘on the spine and/or an extension load on the neck. NOTE: An accurate method of measuring the recline angle of your infant is to use a smart phone with an application that can measure angles, but if using this method ensure the car is ona level surface. 14 Bsr lias The correct height for the shoulder straps is very important for the optimum performance of the restraint. restraint, check which set of slots (in the plastic shell of the restraint) are level with or just above the infant's shoulders.
