Installation: Rear Facing

If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic locking retractor (ALR), use of lock-offs is not required as long as ALR is activated. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine type of retractor your vehicle has, and for proper use of retractor.

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 the 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! Donotraise restraint off front edge of vehicle seat. Doing so will reduce protection for your child and may damage recline adjustment.
