Thanks for posting this. Got this seat a few weeks ago and couldnt for the life of me find a place to latch the back of the seat. I never woulda thought of that.

Thanks!

you are NOT NOT NOT supposed to pull the tether strap tight when rear facing. you don't even 100% need it but if you are using it, make sure it is NOT tight, not loose, but just gently done up. contact britax if you're unsure b/c i got this information direct from them!!!

The shoulder strapa are suppose to be below or at the childs shoulders. You have them on the highest setting which is way above the childs shoulders.

Thank you thank you thank you! They are SO vague about the D ring in the Britax manual, I spent an hour trying to work it out before I saw your video. xxxxxxx

Thanks for posting this video. I found it very helpful. It's much better then the videos on the Britax site.

ONE QUESTION:

Did you remove the stirafoam pieces that are included?

[synic1977]

That are under the cover? No, they are part of the seat and have no reason to be removed that I know of in order to install the seat. But remember to consult your manual for details on how to install you seat.

is that an older britax? the newer ones go 33-35 lbs rear facing.

[synic1977]

Yes, it does go to 33lbs RF though. I have a Roundabout too and got confused as THAT only is 30lbs RF, which is the main seat my 2nd son was sitting in at that time (this video was done in the Summer of 2008). My oldest son at 5 years was using this seat at the time.
