Holy upright install!

Pics in post #9!

Got my Diono angle adjusters today. I went ahead and put one in my truck. We have horrible over recline issues with the RN in that vehicle and I've been wanting this adjuster forever. Well now the seat is so freaking upright it's crazy! So does anyone know if it's it ok to use the tether to help with the recline angle cause we are going to have some serious head slump issues if I can't get this more reclined. It figures. First we're too reclined and now we are too upright. At least it did improve the tightness of our install. I mean it was an acceptable install before but now it's rock the car tight!

I was afraid that might happen, I am waiting for someone with my car to try one. I know I have adjusted the angle slightly with my tether on my Radian once or twice but I don't know if it is okay.

I'm worried about this too! I'm hoping my flat seats will make this okay.. If not I'll have three still unusable radians.

It is acceptable to use the tether to adjust the recline angle for a Radian.

With angle adjuster but before I adjusted the angle with the tether (this pic was taken after I had tried like heck to get it as reclined as possible, so it actually started out even more upright then this:eek:):

I think the recline looks fine with the adjuster :confused: I dont think its too upright.

Well I guess after using the seat so reclined for the last couple of months it was just a shock to my system.:p But seriously I was afraid we were going to have major head slump which apparently wasn't an issue any way.:eek:
