Boulevard Install Question?

[laura2005]

Hi,
I recently installed a Boulevard rear-facing in my Audi A4. It is installed using LATCH (I had it retrofitted for LATCH). I also have it tethered to the front passenger seat leg. My question is this- When I tightened the tether to get it secure with the correct recline angle, it tilted a corner of the car seat a bit in that direction beacause the tether is off to the side. So instead of being completely level, the seat dips slightly to the side. It's hard to describe, but when my baby is in the seat, instead of being completely flat, she tilts a bit (maybe 20 degrees or so) to one side? Is this safe? Any suggestions? Thanks very much.

It's safe, it's just "one of those things". You might try rolling up a towel to the shape of a burrito the length of the front of the base and putting it between the LATCH anchors, so that you have a little recline already, and then don't have to pull your top tether so tight to get the recline right (the top tether definitely doesn't have to be tight, it just shouldn't be floppy).

Does that make any sense? This is kind of what it will look like, the towel http://home.earthlink.net/~carseatsite/reclinewithtowel.jpg
