The company I purchased this carseat didn't bother to send the instruction manual along with the seat. Can anyone tell me how you tether the base?

Hey Elizabeth, the manual doesn't helpAnyways... Is small no pictures just small drawings and no color. I've learned everything about maxi cosi with youtube videos that teaches you everything you need! So don't waist time and good luck!!! ;) http://youtu.be/ULik67YiRFMIs not our base but is the same step by step! ;)

The manual is very small and blue, look for it in the box. Otherwise get the model number and download it off of Maxi Cosi website. All models differ and you really need to follow step by step instructions so installed correctly!

This model would fall and shift, there is nothing to hold it in place except the child's carseat. Good luck finding something that works for you!

The base is made to be used with a latch system and traditional seatbelts, and is very easy to use either way. The carseat itself can also be seat belted in without the base if needed.

The manual has instructions. you can use a seatbelt or anchors or a tether anchor. I use the seatbelt method myself.

This car seat cannot recline unless in a reverse position. Even then it only reclines so far. For safety reasons, you should tether it with the strap to an anchor on the floor behind the seat you are attaching the car seat to. To do that, the seat must be fairly upright.

It might depend what kind of car seat you have. I have an Eddie Bauer one which only uses this base and yes, it needs the base. The seat locks into the base which gets attached under the seat of your vehicle.

Hi, You have to buy the adaptor to attach any carseat, Make sure that the adaptor is compatible with the brand of your carseat. I hope this helps!

There is nothing that you have to unlock first. I found that if I installed the carseat (facing the correct direction) with either the shoulderbelt or by attaching it to the bars in the crease of the seat with the attachments on the base, it leveled itself. It should be pretty easy, so if you are having additional issues leveling it, it may be defective. [While it is super easy to install now after doing it a few times, I was ready to throw it accross the room initially, so I get the frustration. Everything is actually pretty user friendly so don't overthink it too much. Hope that helps.]

I'm wondering the same thing. It looks like the image shows the base attached to the seat, but it's not listed in "what's included". Did you find out an answer?

Can someone respond to this who has bought this car seat from amazon. I am also wondering the same if this comes with a car seat base or it has to be bought seperately?

No you don't need a base with this car seat. The ones you need bases for are the ones that you put their baby carrier in.

the vehicle has to have LATCH. You have to have the side hooks and the hook on the back of your seat to make this carseat work. The type of seatbelt you have does not matter, the seat only connects to the LATCH hooks-there is no other way to install.

Instruction book should be inside a pocket attached to the car seat. Look on the side of it, there's a built in spot for it. Good luck!

Contact Britax. They will send you a replacement. Or you can return it to Amazon (if that is where you purchased the seat). Do NOT use the seat without the chest clip fastened. It is required to use the chest clip and it should be at nipple level or armpit level. Also if you child is rear facing, make sure the straps are at or below their shoulders. If the child is forward facing the straps should be above the shoulders. This is very important for the seat's performance in a crash.

It doesn't "clip" out of the car like some smaller infant carseats. You install it and leave it, so there is no base.

Sorry you did not find instructions with them, not sure about finding pdf on line, it's been a long while since i put my stools together but i think all you have to do is bolt the seats to the upper support making sure the foot rest faces forward and the base plugs in to the lower end.
