Since you are a car set tech - Are you supposed to put the handle of the infant seat down in the car?  My brother always told me yes.  I have tried looking it up but couldn't find anything.  I couldn't find anything in the manual either.

it depends on the seat. Some seats say it's ok, some say no. 

 

What seat do you have?

It's a Graco but I will have to look at what type.  I am borrowing it from my SIL since our other carseat expired.  I know it was purchased sept or oct of 2008 and has a 32 inches/30 lbs limit.

Based on this website...

I think it's a Graco SnugRide 32...that is the base we have in the picture and that looks like the carseat.

Here is the best picture I have of him in it...

you can download a manual from here: https://www.gracobaby.com/CustomerService/ProductInstructions/Pages/ByBrand.aspx?Subcategory=15&Model=901

it looks like in the "adjusting the handle" section, it lists which positions are ok to use in the car. 

I only downloaded one manual, so I don't know if they are all the same or not. But in the one I did download, it said there were 4 positions for the handle. A to carry, B and C as convenience positions and D is down. It states that B should not be used in the vehicle.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.  I'll make sure it's a snugride too when I pick him up.

It's a safe seat.  I'll have to look at that manual.
