How to remove the head support for infants in the convertable car seats

If your child is over 11 pounds, remove the infant insert (not the head cushion). That may be the issue.
What is the age and weight of your child?

With the Primo Viaggio car seat, newborns and young infants should be at a 45 degree angle to prevent head slump and best distribute crash forces in case of accidents. Once infants had gained head and neck support a 45 degree angle is no longer needed.

The other type of car seat you are referring to is a car seat bed. They generally only used by very ill or very premature infants. With certain infant seats now being able to accommodate ever smaller infants they are a shrinking market and are not generally available for public purchase or use.

One month old should not be in a car seat that allows for upright sitting. If it is convertible you have it in wrong. The seat should have a base unit which should be firmly fastened and the carrier should snap in and out of this base allowing you to carry your infant to and from the vehicle without having to detach the base every time you exit the vehicle. This is done so to prevent the unsafe installation of car seat under the stresses of time. If you seat is the kind that does not have a permanent base, go get one. It is very important that you do not modify the installation of any car seat for any reason. Placing a towel under the base as a barrier between the base and your seat is acceptable, but not to raise or lower the front or back as this may compromise its' design and decrease its' effectiveness. If you cannot figure it out, go to your local State Police Barracks where in most states they have a pregame designated for the safe installation of child infant seat carriers. This is very serious. The proper installation and choice in infant carriers can mean the difference of life and death in case of a relatively minor accident.

Hi,

Yes you can remove the head support and newborn cushion from the Cabrio and this will not comprimise any safety. These parts are mainly used for when baby is very small.

I hope this helps.

they are trickey, to get manual, find make and model number then do a search on the makers web-site, they are req. to have it available free. but even most manuals are useless for what you are trying to do, just study it and figure it out. main thing with any baby seat is that it is properly installed and adjusted to the infant
