Snugride Infant Seat Question

I have the Graco Snugride and I'm so confused! It's been a while since I've done this so I was reading the manual regarding the position of the handle and where it should be.

Now on page 13 it shows the handle positions. It says never use positions B or C in the vehicle. Does that means I can use positions A OR D or should I just be using D?

I used to think my backseat was roomy (I have an 06 Ion), however with the handle in the D position the seats need to be up pretty far in the front. Fortunately I'm short, so it's not THAT big of a deal, but I'm wondering if that's the only position I'm supposed to be using.

Re: Snugride Infant Seat Question

We don't have the exact same seat, but similar, and we always put the handle all the way down (position D or E). We didn't want to risk something happening (car accident), and having the handle snap right over DC's head. The handles aren't crash-worthy, and aren't that strong during an accident.

If I recall correctly..."A" is the one where the handle is all the way up? That's the one we used since we had those hanging soft toys attached to it so DD could be entertained.

I usually kept the handle pushed all the way back but I think you can have it directly over the belly area too.
