Simple Car Seat Mistakes That Could Have Deadly Consequences

Reclining Your Child at The Wrong Angle

CARL COURT / Stringer

In the rear-facing position, recline the car seat according to the manufacturer’s instructions so that your child’s head doesn’t flop forward. Your car seat may include an “angle indicator” which will offer guidance based on the car seat’s position (rear or forward-facing) and the size of your child.

As your child grows and you change car seat positions the angle of their seat will need to be adjusted.
