I think that the angle of my sons BLVD might be wrong. Im not real sure but thought I was ask to see what you guys thought? I can take more pictures if you need them.

Does that red line on the sticker on the side say it's supposed to be level with the ground? It looks like it's too reclined based on that. And in general probably a tad too reclined...not bad, but you could probably loosen the top tether and try to tighten up the seatbelt to get it just a smidge more upright. :thumbsup:

HI Alli :happy-wavehello:

It does appear to be a bit over reclined. It's hard to tell by pictures, but just from the way the base looks it might be. I would maybe loosen up the tether and see where that puts the seat recline. If it is still more than 45degrees you will probably need to reinstall it. To get a more upright install pull the seat a bit away from the seatbite (Seatcrack) before you tighten it down. That will cause the seat to raise up a bit while you are tightening the seatbelt.

You can also use this trick for checking your recline angle.

YOu are so RIGHT!! I had forgot about that line as I have only installed it once when we first bought it. My Dh has been the one who has put it in.

Off to fix it!
