45 degree angle?

[mamaoftwins]

Hi all, what's an easy way to make sure my convertible RFing seat doesn't have more than a 45 degree angle? (and is 45 the ideal? Should it be less?) They look ok to me and both fit nicely into the seat without a pool noodle or towel, but I just want to be sure.

BTW, I have 2 True Fits just installed today and LOVE them so far! We'll see how the babies fit in them tomorrow.

Thx!!

This link (http://www.carseatsite.com/reclineangle.htm)will help you with figuring out a 45 degree recline. If your DC is not a newborn, you may have the seat more upright, as long as your DC is comfy. In general, we recommend between 30 and 45 degrees from vertical, but I believe First Years wants 35 to 45 degrees recline.

Thanks, Danielle, that's perfect!
