 Topic: royale carseat question
Posted: 17 October 2008 at 9:48pm |

Have just been given a friends royale (safe n sound) carseat, as our girl is getting too big for her capsule.
From reading the instructions it says to have it leaning all the way back for baby mode, but this seems a long way back and she's already trying to lift her head to see out the window. Would it be safe to have it only half reclined in the rear-facing position? She's 5 mths/7kg so she still needs to be rear-facing.
I'm not sure if anyone will understand this, but hopefully!
(if it's any help ... for the part recline you press the blue handle, and for the full recline part recline you press both the yellow & blue handles)

yeah, it has to be full reclined in the rear position. The semi reclined options are for forward facing. She'll get used to it.

Agreed, it needs to be fully reclined.
My little guy likes to try to sit up in his too, but lies back when I tighten the harness. He is then more than happy to spend the journey chewing on the strap that is pulled to tighten the harness....

Glad she likes it! Definitely has to be fully reclined- she'll get used to it  My youngest who is 16 months is still rear facing fully reclined in hers.

just a tip about the cord that tightens the straps.. always tuck it down between the car seat and the back seat...
the straps have been known to go flying in a crash or if you stop suddenly... i know of one child who has no sight in one eye because of this...
just something that no one warns or tells you about.. my wee man sure loves chewing on his too, but i promptly take it away! :)

Do it fully reclined - it's totally fine for her to pick her head up and look around. When she's tired she'll lean back.
