If using Versa-Tether ® (pg. 23-26) locate and place up
and over seat.
Place child restraint forward facing on vehicle seat.
Restraint can be used in recline position when installed in
forward-facing mode with children up to 40 pounds (18 kg.).
Britax recommends use of Versa-Tether® to improve
installation. If using Versa-Tether ® (see pages 23-26),
locate tether on rear of restraint and place up and over
seat back while securing restraint.
Pull vehicle belt out, then pass it through
both forward-facing belt slots (fig. A).
Verify vehicle belt is not twisted, then buckle (fig. B).
Push child restraint into vehicle seat while
removing slack from vehicle belt (fig. C).
Verify all connections are secure and that
restraint is stable. The restraint is secure when
it cannot be moved front to back or side to
side more than 1” (2.5 cm.) at belt path. If
restraint is not secure, repeat procedure or use
an alternate seating location.
If using Versa-Tether ®, complete Versa-Tether ® installation
(pages 23-26) and store excess webbing in tether pouch.
Removal
Disconnect the Versa-Tether ® from tether anchor if attached. While
pushing restraint firmly into vehicle seat, release lock-off and vehicle belt.
