Using the Versa-Tether
1 Once the child restraint is in a secure, seat belted position, locate the
tether on the rear of the restraint.
2 Press and hold the tether adjuster release button, then pull to fully
extend tether strap into a V-shape.
3 Locate the hook on the strap.
4
Hook the tether to an anchor point.
See figure A for forward facing installation.
See figures B or C for rear facing installation.
5
Pull the adjuster strap to remove all slack.
6
Verify that there is tension in the tether strap and that child
restraint is properly secured.
Using the Rear Facing Tether Connector Strap
IMPORTANT: Only use the tether
connector strap (
Fig. D
) for rear facing
tether installation.
Because every vehicle model is different,
sometimes you cannot find a location to
properly anchor the tether, or the
structural part of the seat is too large for
the hook. Use the tether connector strap
to assist in creating an anchor point.
1 Find a fixed vehicle seat belt anchor or vehicle seat leg that is bolted
to the floor that the strap can be wrapped around.
2 Loop the strap around the metal anchor (
Fig. D
).
3 Take the metal D-ring and thread it through the webbing loop on
the other end of the strap.
4 Pull the metal D-ring all the way through until the strap is tight
around the metal anchor.
5 Use the D-ring as an attachment point for the hook on the tether
strap. Refer to pages 23 – 24 for instructions on using the tether.
