IMPORTANT: Britax recommends that the Versa-
Tether
®
be 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 approved tether locations.
Place the child seat forward-facing on the 1
vehicle seat. Ensure the bottom of the child
seat base is in full contact with the vehicle seat.
TIP: You may need to raise or remove the vehicle
head restraint to achieve best fit of the child
seat.
If the vehicle is equipped with a designated tether anchor for the 2
chosen seating position, remove the Versa-Tether
from the pouch
and place it up and over the child seat back.
Rotate the lock-off lever to open the forward-facing lock-off farthest 3
from where the vehicle belt will be buckled.
Pull vehicle belt out, then pass it 4 over the LATCH bar, through the
forward-facing belt path, then over the LATCH bar on the opposite
side (Fig. B).
Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation
Figure A illustrates a forward-facing lap-•
shoulder belt installation.
When not in use, always store the LATCH •
connectors in the storage slots. See page 30.
Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted and 5
is routed over the LATCH bars, then buckle
(Fig. C).
Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle 6
seat while removing slack first from the lap
portion of the vehicle belt, then the shoulder
portion (Fig. D).
Hold the shoulder belt tight, then rotate 7
the lock-off until the vehicle belt is secured
(Fig. E).
If your vehicle is equipped with an •
automatic locking retractor (ALR), use of
lock-offs is not required as long as the
ALR is locked. Check your vehicle owner’s
manual to determine the type of retractor
your vehicle has, and how to lock the
retractor.
Attach the Versa-Tether8
®
hook to the
designated tether anchor (if available
according to the vehicle owner’s manual) for the chosen seating
position. Remove all slack from the tether to secure. Store excess
webbing in the tether pouch. See pages 25–28.
Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and the child seat is secure. 9
The child seat is secure when it cannot be moved front-to-back or •
side-to-side more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the belt path. If the child
seat is not secure, repeat this procedure or use an alternate seating
location.
