FAQs

• What position does the infant car seat handle need to be in during travel?

  Answer

  Any locked position may be used during travel.

• Where is the safest place for my car seat?

  Answer

  Children in car seats should sit in a rear seating position of your vehicle. Research shows that children in the front seat are at 40% greater risk of injury, compared with children in the rear (Effects of Seating Position and Appropriate Restraint Use on the Risk of Injury to Children in Motor Vehicle Crashes, Pediatrics 2005). Children are shown to be safer in an appropriate rear seat, whether a vehicle has conventional air bags, advanced air bags, or no air bags at all.
  

• What can I do to give baby’s head more support? Can I add a head insert?

  Answer

  Dorel car seats come with head padding for small infants. This padding is designed for and tested with the specific car seat model and harness system. If your child needs additional support, you may place rolled receiving blankets/towels along the child’s sides, after she is correctly buckled in. Additional padding may not be placed under your child or under the car seat’s harnesses.

• How do I install the base for my infant car seat?

  Answer

  Thread the vehicle belt through the belt path at the foot of the base. If the vehicle lap and shoulder belts are attached, thread both through the belt path. Buckle the vehicle belt and adjust as tightly as possible by pushing down firmly on the base while pulling up on the shoulder belt until the lap belt is tight. It is not necessary to make the base completely immobile, but the base should not move more than an inch or two from side to side.

• Do I have to use a base with my infant car seat?

  Answer

  A base is an accessory item and does not have to be used to install your Dorel infant car seat. In certain situations, you get a better fit without the base. For example, if your vehicle seats are very narrow or if you are using the seat for airline travel, you may find that you get a more secure fit by installing the seat without the base.

• At what level should the harness straps be for my child in the rear-facing position?

  Answer

  For an infant who is rear-facing, the harness straps should be even with or just below the baby's shoulders. If the harness is above the baby's shoulders with the straps in the lowest position, do not use the car seat until the baby grows into it.
