They way its installed, we can't put it all the way back like Mrs. Stroller is talking about. We did hang a few toys from it when she was little but they were always soft toys and just 1 or 2 things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-safety#post-206057 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 06:48:33 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 206057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The police officer who inspected our says that the handle should go all the way back and then KEEP going so it's basically pointing at the floor. I do that when we're going on the highway. If we're just going to be driving 25mph over to his daycare then I leave it up with a toy on it. Toys are a no-no too, apparently, unless they're made by the car seat manufacturer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-safety#post-206052 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 06:25:21 +0000 heffalump 206052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always put it back, by still attached toys to it. She could get them from the side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-safety#post-206048 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 06:11:11 +0000 Cole 206048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If memory serves me correctly, it depends on the seat. Check your manual, they are online too if you need it but, I think the key fit can be left in any position but the primo viaggio has to be ask the way up by baby's head (this may have changed but on older ones it was the case.) I remember there being one where it was different depending on installed with or without the base too...</p> <p>Plus I think some people attach toys to the handle but slide then around so baby can reach from the side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-safety#post-206043 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 05:54:56 +0000 BeachMama 206043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never told anything about the handle. I was leaving it up but it blocks the view of the mirror I put up so I could see LO so now I put it down. It makes sense that that would be safer though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-seat-safety#post-206039 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 05:26:45 +0000 mediagirl 206039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you put the handle for the car seat all the way back into the seat in front of it or so you leave it up in carrying position? At the hospital, they told us to place it all the way back into the passenger seat. We do that, but then I hear some people put toys on their handles which makes me think they don't put the handle back? </p> <p>What do you do? </p>
