Britax 70 manual Latch Installation Before You Begin

Rear-Facing Installation

LATCH Installation

Before You Begin:

•Check that your vehicle has lower anchors.

* Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their lower anchors. Use vehicle belt (not lower connectors) for installations with children who weigh more than the vehicle lower anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40 pound (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle lower anchor limit.

•Remove the lower connectors from the storage slots in the base. Press the adjuster release button and pull the strap to full length. Repeat for the second strap.

•This child seat must be reclined to position 3 and placed rear-facing on the vehicle seat.

* When properly installed in the rear-facing

position, the back angle of the child seat should be at least 30˚ for children and up

to 45˚ from vertical for infants unable to

maintain head and neck control (not to exceed 45˚) when the car is parked on a level surface. Use the blue line as a guide

to achieve the proper recline angle for rear-facing installations. The blue line will be

parallel to the ground when the child seat angle is at the center of the angle range (30 – 45˚). If necessary, the proper recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled towel or pool noodle in the vehicle seat bight.

•Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether is used at all times. Using the tether will improve the stability of the child seat and reduce the risk of injury. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for tether anchor locations. See page 25 for possible rear-facing tether configurations.
