Using The Lower Anchors And Tethers For Children (Latch); Using The Lower Connectors - Britax BOULEVARD Guia Del Usuario

BRITAX Child Safety, Inc.
Rear-Facing
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 line as a guide to achieve the proper recline angle
for rear-facing installations. The line will be parallel to the
ground when the child seat angle is at the center of the
acceptable angle range (37.5˚). If necessary, the proper
recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled towel or
pool noodle in the vehicle seat bight.
Overhang
It is important that
the base of the child
seat rests completely
flat on the vehicle
seat. As seen in
the illustration, it is
permissible to allow
up to 3 in. (7.6 cm)
of the base to hang
over the edge of the
vehicle seat. Some
Forward Facing
vehicle seats do not
allow enough of the child seat base to contact the vehicle
seat. If this is the case for a forward-facing installation, adjust
the seat to the upright position. For a rear-facing installation,
choose another seating position. Not doing so could cause
the child seat to not perform as intended.
In some cases, the vehicle head
restraint can prevent the child seat
head pad from being raised high
enough to properly adjust the harness
for the fit of your child when using a
forward facing reclined position. DO
NOT force the child seat head pad
past the vehicle head restraint. Doing
so could cause the child seat not to perform as intended.
If the location of the vehicle head restraint interferes with
the child seat head pad, raise or remove the vehicle head
restraint. If the vehicle head restraint cannot be removed,
move the child seat to the upright position or try a
different seating location.

Using the Lower Connectors
