Child Seat problem

Seat will not recline enough. Baby's head was just hanging over held up with the chest strap. His face was red and I'm afraid that he would have been suffocated had I not taken him out when I did. I took the seat to health department to verify it was installed correctly, and it was. The instructions say to put a rolled towel under the front of the seat to help with reclining, but it was very unsteady when I did that. The seat was in a Ford truck that has pretty flat seats so the recline function shouldn't have been a problem. I have 2 pictures of him in the seat with his head hanging forward.
