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. E).
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.
