  "question": "How can a car seat base be leveled when the vehicle seat slopes?",
  "answer": "DOONA LATCH Base: The store says the adjustable leveling accommodates different vehicle-seat designs and slopes. DOONA LATCH Base: Users value the audible locking click and clear level indicators because they reduce uncertainty about secure attachment and the correct angle. UPPAbaby Aria Base: In steeply sloped or bucket-style vehicle seats, leveling the base can be very difficult; one reported case took over an hour and needed a towel and pool noodle. UPPAbaby Aria Base: The installed base should not move more than 1 inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.",
