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 25 for possible rear-facing
tether configurations.
