I have heard about folding the paper for 45 degree angle, but what about 35?

I took pictures of our SS1 at MAYBE 40 degrees and from the picture it looked like it must of been at 25 lol. Either Im reaaaally bad at angle estimation (entirely possible) or picture just made it look wonky.

I knew on that seat because of the level on the seat but the EFTA just has an arrow (snarl) that says even with the ground for, Im assuming, a 45 degree angle.
Ive heard some talk of a program/website to determine angle...anyone know about a thingamabob like that? TIA! ;)

No one? hehe I was wondering if a protractor would work if I could line it up correctly but the driveway is slightly downhill so i think i might have to do it in a parking lot? hm, why dont all seats have levels lol

We've done the protractor with a string tied around 0 but you have to make sure it stays right at 0 or it will be off. If you snap a picture of it (has to be level to ground I think) some people on here have that angle measure tool on the computer and they could check it for you.

Mkaayyyy well I got an angle thingy...and Im wondering now where should the 45 degree angle be at. If i measure level to ground and back of car seat I get like 70 degrees. If i measure level to ground and where michaels back would be I get like 120 degrees or somewhere in those ballparks.

I guess its not clicking where the 35 degree angle should be at and I know it should be easy but blame it on not getting to sleep last night (at all) lol I'm not opposed to just posting a picture but I'm so "do it yourself" and I want to be able to figure things out for myself instead of posting with 20 pictures asking for someone to figure out the angle.:eek: TIA for anyone who has the answer

There might be a little diagram in your manual. It's the angle from where the "back" of the CR meets the vehicle seat.
