Hi everyone,
I'm a soon-to-be-first-time-dad trying to figure out our new car seat. We bought the Maxi Cosi Pebble and I've been able to follow the instructions to fit it into the back seat, rear-facing with the seat belt through the 3 blue marker points. All fine and dandy... except I seem to have discovered a massively dangerous flaw!
Every time the car seat rocks back, the seat belt tightens and ratchets up the seat to a higher angle, again and again until the poor baby would virtually be upright. I'm guessing this would happen a little every time I accelerate. Surely it shouldn't be like this?
What am I doing wrong?
Also without one of those fancy isofix bases, it's also not clear the angle the car seat should be resting on the back seat... the Pebble is curved at the bottom so it just slips around.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks
