First, place one Knee Defender™ on each arm of your lowered tray table – at the top of the arm, near where it meets the table. Each Knee Defender™ simply straddles the tray table's arm, with one leg of the device on either side of the arm.
- Then, slide the Knee Defenders™ down the arms of the tray table until they are snug against the seatback in front of you.
Your Knee Defenders™ are now in place. If the person in front of you attempts to recline, your Knee Defenders™ will take the hit.
Whether you are intent on protecting yourself from being crunched, want to maintain enough leg room to do some in-seat exercises, or just want some warning so you can move your notebook computer before the seat is reclined, Knee Defenders™ work "like a charm."
Knee Defenders™ are adjustable. In general, the closer your Knee Defenders™ are to the seatback, the less the seat back will be able to recline. If you need to prevent as much reclining as possible, then push your Knee Defenders™ up tight against the seatback.
On the other hand, if there is enough room for you to allow the person to recline partially – safely, without threatening injury – you can often set your Knee Defenders™ slightly away from the seatback to make that possible.
Knee Defenders™, with their specially shaped grooves, were designed to work with a wide variety of seat and tray table designs. However, not every design could be accommodated, especially those used on some commuter planes and even on some jets.
