Installation: Versa-Tether
®
Child Seat Functions
Figure A shows the tether when the child seat
is acceptable for continued use (provided the
child seat has not been involved in a crash). The
colored stitching will be intact and the webbing
will be looped inside the shell.
Figures B and C show the tether when the child
seat is unacceptable for continued use. If any of
the loops have pulled through the back side of the
shell and/or any of the colored stitching has been
released on either side, the child seat is no longer
acceptable for use. Discontinue use of the child
seat.
IMPORTANT: Regardless of whether loops have
pulled through the back side of the shell and the
colored stitching has been released, discontinue use
of the child seat if it has been involved in a moderate
or severe crash.
Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether
®
The energy-absorbing Versa-Tether was designed to enhance
the performance of the child seat tether. By introducing a staged
release of the tether webbing, the forward movement of the child
seat is delayed while reducing the amount of energy transferred to
the child seat during a crash. A secondary benefit of the energy-
absorbing Versa-Tether is to help indicate when the child seat has
been involved in a moderate or severe crash and replacement of the
child seat is necessary.

Storing the LATCH Connectors
When the LATCH connector is not in use, lift the cover
to access the LATCH storage slots (Fig. D). Fold the
LATCH adjuster and the connector, then slide each
set into the adjacent slot.
NOTE: Child seats are shipped from Britax with the
LATCH connectors in the storage slots. You will have
to open the rear-facing lock-offs to remove the LATCH
connectors from storage.
Recline Adjustment
Pull the recline handle (Fig. E) then slide the child
seat shell into the desired position. Release the
recline handle, then verify the child seat has locked
into position.
