What is the proper angle for a Britax Marathon to be installed when forward facing? We drive a Honda Odyssey van and aren't sure whether the captain's chair should be reclined any to allow the seat to recline a bit also. I currently think our present installation looks like the seat is reclined too much, but I'm not sure what the right answer is. We have latch and are using that to secure the seat. Thanks in advance!

That's what mine looks like... http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/FFAlbum/Sarah.aspx
It's a little reclined, the captain's chair, maybe a notch or 2, and it, the marathon, is naturally quite a bit reclined (lots of moms tend to notice that, actually).

I actually like how it installs with the seatbelt better than the LATCH, so if it's on the side by the window and the seatbelt wouldn't be stretched across the walkway, you might want to try the seatbelt install, it's just as quick and easy as LATCH, I think :)
