Leaning Britax Marathon-How can I fix this?

After I installed my Marathon I notice that it is leaning a bit to one side. I dont think this is a safety hazard, but its just annoying to me! HOw can I get it to not lean? It may be b/c it is tethered to the passanger seat (non moving part on the bottom by the floor) and thats hwy it is leaning but I am not sure. Any suggestions?

Do you have it installed with a seatbelt or LATCH? If it is with a seatbelt, it is b/c the shoulder belt is pulling up on the side of the seat. To fix this, tighten the seatbelt without pulling it out all the way and activating the retractor, then close the lock-offs, and after you have done that THEN pull the seatbelt out and activate the retractor. That should work for you.

Whenever I have a rear facing Britax in the center of my vehicle, it always leans toward the passenger side some due to being tethered under the front passenger seat. I've never worried about it.
