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

BRITAX Child Safety, Inc.
Forward-Facing
In forward-facing
installations, 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 vehicle seats do
not allow enough of the child seat base to contact the vehicle
seat. If this is the case, adjust the recline angle to a more
upright position. Not doing so could cause the child seat to
not perform as intended. Use the recline indicator on the child
seat to help achieve an acceptable recline angle, with the ball
in the recline indicator in the allowable green section.
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.

To attach the lower connectors:

connectors from the
storage compartment at
the rear of the seat and
pull the strap to full length
toward the child's left
side.
2. Press the lower connector
hook over its adjacent
lower anchor. For full
