The bottom of the car seat isn't even all the way touching when it is installed with the line level. It is raised up a little toward the rear of the car. That is just crazy looking. There is just something wrong with that. How could it NOT over rotate at that angle? It's already half way there just sitting!!
This is mine in a 2008 Dodge Avenger. It is installed with a seat belt, but I don't own enough pool noodles nor big enough towels to stuff in there to create the correct angle for a rock solid install.
And I'm a BlackBerry girl so no angle app sorry.
The front seat is moved so far forward, I can't actually get my legs in. FTR I'm tall at 5'8, but I don't think someone who is 4'8 could even fit.
I can't tell you the angle...but I can tell you it doesn't work with my car. Maybe if I never wanted a front passenger again or I had no legs. And I can't imagine my kid being pleased that she is nearly laying down in the car. She likes looking out the windows.This is pretty much how ours looks right now. It's not actually that bad. It wasn't at the true 45 (or 53) but it's pretty close.
Line parellel 53 degrees
True 45 degree angle
