your vehicle has, and how to lock the
retractor.
Verify that vehicle belt is tight and that the 8
child seat is secure.
The child seat is secure when it cannot •
be moved more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) front-
to-back or side-to-side at the belt path.
If the child seat is not secure, repeat the
procedure or use an alternate seating
location.
When properly installed in the rear-facing •
position, the back angle of the child seat
should be 30º– 45º from vertical (not to
exceed 45º) when the car is parked on a
level surface (Fig. G).
If necessary, the proper recline angle can •
be achieved by placing a rolled towel or
pool noodle in the seat bight to level the
child seat’s base.
Rear-facing installation can be improved by the use of the Versa-•
Tether
