  "answer": "UPPAbaby Mesa / Mesa V2 Infant Car Seat Extra Base: The base is level when only the green marker is visible between the two arrows and no red is visible. Video demonstrates LATCH installation: place base rear-facing, adjust foot until no red shows on the level indicator, remove the latch buckle from storage, attach to anchors, keep webbing untwisted, press and rock the base into the seat crease until the tension indicator is green, then check for no more than 1 inch of movement at the belt path.\nEvenflo LiteMax LX Infant Car Seat Base: The level indicator is handy, but in some vehicles the vehicle seat's own recline angle had to be changed to get the base perfectly level.\nDoona Doona+ Car Seat Base: Maker describes the LATCH Base as ensuring secure installation every time, with a built-in leveling system and color indicators for correct installation.",
