Push child restraint firmly into vehicle seat while pulling
each LATCH strap tight (fig. E).
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 or vehicle belt
installation method.
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.
