Installation: Rear Facing

7�Push child restraint firmly into vehicle seat while pulling each LATCH strap tight (fig. E).

8�Verify all connections are secure and that restraint is stable. The restraint is secure when it cannot be moved front-to-back or side-to-side more than 1” (2.5 cm.) at belt path. If restraint is not secure, repeat procedure or use an alternate seating location.

Britax recommends use of the Versa-Tether® to improve installation. See pages 23-26.

The back angle of the child restraint should be 30º- 45º from vertical (not to exceed 45º from vertical) when car is parked on a level surface (fig. F).

The proper recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled towel or pool noodle in crease of vehicle seat to help level child restraint’s base.

If there is a problem stabilizing restraint, tighten tether as described on page 24 using anchor point 3.

WARNING! Do not raise restraint off front edge of vehicle seat. Doing so will reduce protection for your child and may damage recline adjustment.

Removal

Disconnect the Versa-Tether from tether anchor, if attached. While pushing the restraint firmly into the vehicle seat, press the red release buttons on the LATCH connectors to release. When not in use, always store the LATCH connectors and Versa-Tether.
