How to seat a baby correctly in a baby car seat
(1) Dress your baby in comfortable clothes because the seat belt is fastened between your baby's legs.
(2) Arrange the seat at a 45-degree Angle. If the car seat is too flat, your child may slip out of the belt. Too straight, and his head might tilt too far forward, making it hard for him to breathe.
(3) Make sure your baby's head is safe Even at a 45 degree Angle, you want to keep your baby's head from swinging around. Most baby seats come with special cushions to keep your baby's head safe; If not, cover the sides and area around the baby's head and neck with a tightly rolling blanket. Do not use inserts that do not come with the car seat. Not only will it void the warranty, but it will make the baby unsafe.
