convertible car seat, slanted seats - help!
hi all...DS is 7 months and is growing out of his travel system infant car seat already. we have the safety 1st alpha omega elite, and we installed it in my car but the seats are so slanted, it looks nearly completely upright at the most reclined setting. obviously we've got a long ways to go needing him to be rear-facing, and he needs to be comfortable/able to sleep.
anyone deal with this? any car seats out there meant for slanted seats? recommendations, please. TIA!

Love our graco myride65, it's big but it reclines and she always slept great in it (still using it now at 3 yrs old).

You may have to roll a towel and put it under to tilt it. Does it have a leveling ball that shows you where it should be? Maybe bring it to a carseat installer to have it done correctly? Are you in Nassau? There is a place in hicksville that does it or Hassell auto body in Babylon

Thanks so much for all the info. I'll check the manual, DH must not have read the whole thing.
