Hello,
I have the Britax Multi-Tech for my 3 year old. I've read the directions thoroughly and still can not get the seat installed rear facing with the footprop at at 100 degree angle. I'd say it was about a 120 degree angle or so. I have a 2001 BMW 5 series. I put the swinging base against the back seat and position the seat so that it looks like the footprop will be at a 100 degree angle but the moment I tighten the seatbelt it pulls the seat forward ruining the angle. the seat is in rock solid though but I see that the correct angle is very important.
I see in a previous forum that someone mentioned a styrofoam wedge to get the recline. I seem to think that if I had something like that the seat would recline back more bringing the footprop to a 100 degree angle. Is this wedge used for that reason and is this something approved by Britax?
Any advice on how to get the proper angle? I can try to take some pictures to show you what I mean.
Thanks!
