Lap-Belt Installation - Britax ROUND ABOUT 50 User Manual

Installation: Rear-facing

Lap-Belt Installation

• Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing, lap-belt
installation.
• When not in use, always store the LATCH
connectors in storage slots. See page 34.
• See vehicle owner's manual to determine what
type of retractor your vehicle has and how to
lock it (also see pg 10-13).
IMPORTANT: This child seat is shipped with the
buckle in position 1 (Fig. B). Use buckle position
1 or 2 that is closest to but not underneath your
child. Do not use buckle position 3 in rear-facing
mode. See page 38 for Adjusting Harness Buckle
Position.
1 Recline the child seat and then place it rear-
facing on vehicle seat.
This child seat must be
in the recline position when installed rear-facing.
See Recline Adjustment on page 34.
2 Pull the vehicle belt out and pass it through
the closest rear-facing belt slot (Fig. C).
3 Route the vehicle belt across the child seat
then through the second rear-facing belt
slot.
IMPORTANT:
• The vehicle belt must rest IN FRONT OF the
child seat buckle when using buckle slots 1 or
2 (Fig. B).
• Vehicle belt can be routed over or under the cover.

4 Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted and
then buckle (Fig. D).
5 Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle seat
while removing slack from the vehicle belt.
• Ensure the vehicle seat belt system is locked.
WARNING!
Do not use this seat
with a two-point Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) vehicle belt that does not lock.
6 Verify that the vehicle belt is tight, locked,
and that the child seat is secure.
• The child seat is secure when it cannot be
moved more than one inch (2.5 cm) front-to-
back or side-to-side at the belt path.
• When properly installed in the rear-facing
position, the back angle of the child seat
should be 30º – 45º from vertical (not to
exceed 45º) when the car is parked on a level
surface (Fig. F).
• If necessary, the proper recline angle can
be achieved by placing a rolled towel or pool
noodle in the crease of the vehicle seat to level
the child seat's base.
• Rear-facing installation can be improved by the
use of the Versa-Tether see pages 29 - 32.
