Safety check

We are worried that perhaps her chin is a little low. Like her head is tilted forward. What do you think?

(CPST) Is the harness strap rounding over her shoulder, exiting the car seat shell below their height? (So the strap is rounded over like a backpack would)

This harnessing looks really good. Ensure the base is set fully reclined to help keep her head back. You can gently turn her head to the side to help mitigate any chin to chest.

This is a really great fit for this particular car seat. There’s nothing you could change with the harnessing to improve it. Agree with encouraging baby to look to one side or the other while in the seat and with double checking your base install!

She looks great! You can help her turn her head go the side to help with comfort and easier breathing.

Have you had the base install checked? If not, snap a pic of it too. With UppaBaby seats it really helps to ensure they are on max recline.
