Radian angle adjuster ONLY for over 1?

Can the Radian angle adjuster be used for a baby under 1 if the resulting angle of the seat is still reclined enough for an infant? The Diono product description says it's for babies over 1 to get the seat more upright, but what if an install is over-reclined without it?

Thanks :)

If you are going off manufacturers instructions, no.

My personal opinion? You can use it when the baby can hold its head up for a reasonable amount of time.

Diono said themselves that it's a conservative guideline to make sure people aren't using it with babies who can't hold their heads up. My personal take on it is -- use common sense ;).

I say parental decision. If the resulting angle is developmentally appropriate for the child in question I would do it personally. My kids tend to hold their heads up at birth and sit unassisted by 3-5 months, so I sit them up in their seats earlier than most, so take that as you will.

I'm using it for my 6 month old. Of course the seat is super super reclined in my CRV without the AA so I don't think it's a big deal
