Hello all, first time poster here.
I currently have the Britax Advocate CS in my car with LATCH. I am planning to get the Britax Boulevard for my wife's car (2000 BMW 328i sedan) that does not have the LATCH system.
I look through the BMW menu and look through the car's back seat and although there does appear to be anchor points in the back dashboard area, I think I am supposed to have to bring the car back to BMW for "installation" ( i guess they have to open up the anchor points properly).
My question is, from reading the Britax menu ( I currently have the Britax Advocate CS in our other car that has LATCH). If installing forward-facing with the shoulder belt- it is not clear to me whether the tethering at the top of the car seat is required? I know from the lap belt installation that the tether is a must- but wonder if it would be safe to just install the shoulder belt without the tether, as I plan to install on the rear seat left or right side.
I have also read that when forward facing, upright is safer than reclined and vice versa on another website.. is upright when forward facing the safest (comparing to reclined forward facing)
Thank you in advance for any advice
