Recline Indicator
IMPORTANT:
Car seat base MUST be flat on vehicle seat and MUST
be parallel to vehicle seat.
The vehicle MUST be on level ground.
Recline indicator ball in the black section is not an
acceptable recline.
Rear-Facing Installations
It is important that the child seat be properly reclined.
Use the recline indicator on the child restraint to help
achieve an acceptable recline angle for rear-facing:
Recline indicator ball must
be completely within the
blue section.
Britax recommends a child
with no head and neck
control be in the most
reclined position.
NOTE: If necessary, the
proper recline angle
can be achieved by
placing a rolled towel
or pool noodle in the
vehicle seat bight.
Forward-Facing Installations
Use the recline indicator on the child restraint to help
achieve an acceptable recline angle for forward facing:
Recline indicator ball must
be completely within the
dashed green lines.
For Forward-facing lap belt ONLY installation the seat
must be in the most upright position so the white
dashed line is not visible. See forward-facing "Lap Belt
Only (Type 1) Installation" on page 33.
