Britax RA installation

[LoriH]

We just installed our RA in my Honda Pilot using the LATCH feature. My DS is only 5 months old and when he sits in it his head falls forward because the seat is too upright. Is there anyway to make the seat recline a little bit so my son's head isn't falling forward?
TIA

Use the versa tether to pull the recline down to 45 degrees.

There's a website with pics--I'll go find it.

I also have a RA in my Pilot (although it's now forward facing). I found it helpful to put something in the crease of the seat and placing the RA on that. I put a piece of the styrofoam pool noodle that I cut to fit between the two LATCH anchors. You also want to make sure the seat itself is at a 45 degree angle. I tethered mine like the previous poster mentioned and that helps to get the right angle. It was easy to find a spot to tether it to underneath the seat.

You shouldn't need to use a pool noodle with a Britax.

Did you recline the seat before you installed it? Britax seats have an upright setting for FF and a recline setting for RF.
