recline angles for other companies?

laudymama · Jun 9, 2011

With all of this talk about the CA's and the recline "requirement" I was wondering....as a tech what we tell people on recline for older kids, what does SKJP say about the radians? I have only just recently seen the manual and wasnt overjoyed with the seeming lack of info in it. All it said was 45* and unless I overlooked it, did not notice it said that it could be installed more upright than that. I know a few brands give a range in their manual or like the MR have a level built in where it just has to be in the green. Anyone know straight from the company about radians? This may have already been discussed but I wasn't sure and curious....

The company says any angle greater than 45* is fine. (Measured from horizontal.) So anything more upright than 45* is acceptable, according to SKJP.

In fact, I just grabbed my manual from next to me to give you a page number.

On page 14 of my XTSL manual (As well as pages 16 and 18) there is a picture illustrating the proper recline angle for the seat. Measuring from horizontal, it states "45* or greater".

And one more, since it's easier to see pictures than try to explain them, here's the image itself:

This is straight out of the manual itself.

Thanks so much! I was in the store quickly looking through it just to get a little familiar with it since I had never played with one and must have seen the 45* and just looked right over the "or greater" part in my rush to try it out in the car

The pic helps!

I know the combi zeus manual states that the line MUST be parallel to the ground, but Vera from combi says it doesn't have to be parallel for an older baby. The true fit recline and true fit premier are allowed to be installed at 35-45 degrees when rfing.

And the original true fit states 45 but Learning Curve states up to 35 is acceptable.

How did they state this? Is it in writing? Understandably, I'm nervous about angles!!!

If you call they will give it to you in writing. We first had it from the president or owner or something-- who took the tech class with one of our members, and went back and clarified with the engineers that up to 35 was ok.

Okay, thank you!
