Is this angle okay?

[ProudMomof5]

I just put in our roundabout 50.. it seems too upright, but I am not sure if it's because I am so used to looking at his infant carseat.
I also haven't tethered it yet, when i do will that help it go back some?
Thanks!

is it for the 15 month old? It does look a little upright but older children can sit more upright. When you tether it it may bring it back more but you want to just take out the slack of the tether, not use it as an option to get a proper install.

Looks fine. You don't use the tether to adjust the angle, no.

yes it's for my 15 month old.
Should I used a rolled towel to get a better recline?

 

[Maedze]

I wouldn't. The angle is fine for a toddler.

However, if he shows signs of being uncomfortable, the Britaxes are very accomdating about being installed more reclined or more upright without futzing with a towel. Just focus on getting the base of the seat as close as you can into the bight of the vehicle seat, and it will install naturally more reclined.

Thanks.
It doesn't seem to bother him at all. He is reclined enough to sleep with out his head slumping forward so I guess that's a good sign.

yep that is a good sign. When you attach the top tether only take the slack out. Like I said before and another poster said, do not use it to adjust angle. You are just taking out obvious slack.

Okay, will do! Thanks!
