Verify that all connections are secure
and the restraint is stable .
NOTE:
•
The back angle of the child restraint
should not exceed 45º when properly
installed in the rear-facing position .

Installation can be improved by the
use of the Versa-Tether
®
(
see pages 23–25
) . The recline angle
can be adjusted by tightening the tether as described on page
24, using anchor point 3 .
•
If there is a problem stabilizing the child restraint, place a rolled
towel in the crease of the vehicle seat to help level the child
restraint base .
WARNING:
DO NOT raise the base beyond horizontal or off of the
vehicle seat; doing so will reduce the protection for the child .
