This is a long one!!!
DS is 13 months, 21 pounds and 30 inches.
We have a Britax Boulevard installed in the middle seat with the seatbelt.
From my understanding it is:
1. Safest in the middle, but no latch can be used (2007 Toyota Prius)
2. Safest rear-facing until the upper parameters of the seat.
3. His recline must be between 30 and 45 degrees but not exactly 45 degrees now that he is older.
On to my question...
I want to move my seat a little so that he is not reclining so much, I think he would be more comfortable. Also, the way that it is installed right now since it has to be installed with the seatbelt it leans to the side.
How much can I set him up? How can I tell if it is 30 degrees? How can I make it so that the seatbelt doesn't make the seat lean over? I got conflicting advice about using a locking clip. One person told me to put a locking clip on that side to hold the shoulder harness down, while another told me that it was unsafe to to that and to leave it leaning.
I can't find answers anywhere, I hope that I find them here!!!
One other thing, those black clips on the side of the Boulevard to hold the seatbelt in - do they have to be clipped? If they are, then the seat seems to not be reclined enough. Any experience here?
THANKS SO MUCH.
