Lap Belt Installation

Before You Begin:

• Check that your vehicle belt is compatible for use with child

seats. See pages 8 – 13 for more information.

• 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 27 for possible rear-facing

tether configurations.
