Q46: How far should my carseat be reclined? Should it tilt to one side?
Child Carseat Safety FAQFor newborns and infants, it is recommended that they sit in a rear-facing carseat at a 45 degree angle (maximum). Some infant carseats have a built-in level indicator. Older infants should have less recline, once they are able to support their heads. Front-facing carseats should not be reclined. Though some front-facing and convertible models are approved in a semi-reclined position, this recline does concentrate crash forces in the crotch so an upright position is preferred.

Related QuestionsQ33: Is my carseat tight enough?
Child Carseat Safety FAQGrab your carseat at the base, where the seatbelt goes. The base should not move more than an inch (1") side-to-side or front-to-back. Some movement at the top of the seat is normal, though a tether will reduce this movement in forward-facing carseats. Ideally, you want the child coupled as tightly as possible to the harness system and carseat, and the carseat coupled as tightly as possible to the vehicle with the seatbelt or LATCH system.

Related QuestionsQ15: Do I need a separate carseat if my vehicle has an integrated child seat already?
Child Carseat Safety FAQMaybe. Integrated carseats, especially those with a harness, may have some disadvantages when used as the primary restraint for a child: Emergency personnel often prefer to remove a child in a separate carseat. This keeps the child immobilized in case of head/spinal injury, and may allow for safer transport in the ambulance. Integrated seats do not function rear-facing. Rear-facing is safest for children, and many separate carseat models allow for rear-facing use to 30 or 35 lbs.
