LATCH – Short Path
Before you begin:
9 Check that your vehicle has LATCH anchors.
* Check your vehicle owner’s manual for the vehicle’s LATCH
anchor limits.
9 Check that your vehicle has a top tether anchor.
* Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether is used at all times.
Using the tether will improve the stability of the child seat and
reduce the risk of injury. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for
tether anchor locations.
9 Remove the Versa-Tether
®
hook from the storage clip and
place it over the child seat back to keep it from becoming
pinned between the child seat and vehicle seat during
installation.
