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" 3"
20% or 3 in. (7.6 cm) of
the base to hang over the
Acceptable Unacceptable
Overhang Overhang
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.
