Picked up our complete air yesterday, and I think I will like it. I hope DS does as well! Is there anything I should know about installing it? DS is 4 months, 18 lbs and 27 inches tall. He rolls over both ways and is almost able to sit up by himself, has really good head control. Can I install it somewhere between the 30-45 degree angle? Or do I have to still install at 45. Sorry for Alan the questions, I'm a pro at installing FF seats and of course his infant seat, but the RF convertibles are new to me :)

Get behind the seat (move the front seats up and out of your way). Brace the top of the seat with your hips. Pull the side of the cover back (I *think* this seat is like this) and reveal the access hole to pull the UAS or seat belt through to tighten towards your body. You may or may not need a noodle(s) to achieve an appropriate recline. I'd go for more reclined at his age myself - maybe not 45* but not 30* either.

Do check, given his size/age, that the bottom slots are at or below his shoulders. It's lowest slots are not very low. I've seen 8 month olds who don't fit in it yet.
