Multi tech install pics and questions

I was contacted yesterday to install a multi tech. No, this is not a car seat to be used in the U.S., there is my disclaimer. I bought Bekah along as a tester, yeah, um a tester. Stats: 40 lbs, 41 1/4" tall, 14 1/2" torso height.

The family did not open the box and let me do it! Dad took pics.

So, here is the box.




Me opening the box.





Bekah helping me unwrap.




At the highest in booster mode. Not back, but not a Frontier either.



The one thing that is difficult is adjusting the harness. The foot prop kinda gets in the way.




One question. On the foot prop. It is all the way extended, and it didn't feel very tight. We tightened the tethers now, and that worked. is that ok? And is the foot prop angle good?




The lock offs are interesting. They look like Britax lock offs from the U.S., but you can change the angle.


One more pic of Bekah.



It has a recline foot, like the Frontier. With that forward, it pushes the seat away from the vehicle seat about 2 fingers, for added leg room!

Regarding the footprop:

There is a ruler in the back of the installation manual. Place it in a vertical line under the footprop. If the prop follows the ruler, then the angle is okay.

If the footprop doesn´t go green without tightening the tether straps. Then you should unlock it and move it a bit up or down - perhaps both directions. You don´t want the MT off the rear seat if it need to go a tiny bit upwards. The footprop is secure when you hear a clicking sound and the indicator goes green. You simply grap the footprop with both your hands and "play" a little bit with it so to speak. A tiny line of red does not matter. but you don´t want the indicator to be half green half red. or all red for that matter.

I can see you have installed the straps in the front seat bights. You can use the front seat runners.

Thanks Lena. I will half to check again. I forgot about the red/green thing! I did know I could go the with the runners, but really, this was so much easier. It is ok, right?

Oh I see. the runners are different in this car. It is not safe to install the tethers in some piece of plastic. You want metal bars for that.

My foot prop always starts out red, fully extended, when I tighten the tethers it turns green, it will still move at the join, where you adjust it, but its solid on the floor. The angle looks a little bit steep (??) to me, like it should be more towards the front seat in the car but it could just be the angle of the photo.

To adjust the harness you can pull the foot prop bracket out a little bit, I can adjust the harness with the seat installed.

How much taller is a Frontier????

*drool*

I so want one of these!

Yeah, that is how I adjusted the harness. The Frontier has the same adjustor, just no foot prop, of course.

Here is the frontier at it's tallest:

Wow thats tall, i'm not even sure it would fit in my car!

Any more pictures of this seat in use?

Where is it distributed?

I didn't take a lot of pics, but there are a lot more if you search the threads. It is from Sweden and can not be bought in the U.S.

Lol, I recognize that bubble wrap.....)
