I had my new Britax Blvd installed today. We went to a car seat tech and he installed it and insured that it had a good fit.
Once I got home and started reading my manual, I discovered the "lock-offs" and realized that he did not use a lock-off when installing with a lap-shoulder belt. He also said that using the tether strap was not necessary.
(The seat is rear-facing in the center seat for 8 month old, 17.5 pounds, 28")
So, I understand that the tether strap may not be required but according to the manual, it is "recommended... at all times".
Since concluding my reading of the manual, I have gone back to my car and re installed using the lock-off. Do I need to use the tether? I saw in another thread that the seat is still very safe as is, without the tether being anchored down.
***According to the manual (page 25), the tether would be in position 1 for the rear facing seat for my car. (A 2009 Toyota Corolla)***
:thanx!:
