Abstract

An improved infant car seat includes a seat shell and a pendulum having a multiple-range angle indicator pivotably suspended within the seat shell to allow proper angular orientation of the seat shell. The indicator may comprise a color that contrasts with the color of the surrounding face of the pendulum. The indicator is visible through a first viewing area in the seat shell when an angular orientation of the seat shell is within a first range and is visible through a second viewing area in the seat shell when an angular orientation of the seat shell is within a second range. The indicator may comprise additional viewing areas that correspond with additional ranges of angular orientation.
