Installation: Versa-Tether ®
Using the Versa-Tether
1 Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for
approved tether anchorage locations.
2 Locate the tether on the rear of the child seat
and remove the tether components from
the pouch. Place the tether up and over the
child seat back.
3 Install the child seat using the LATCH
system or the vehicle belts based on the
instructions in this manual.
4 Lift the tether release tab; then pull to fully
extend the tether strap into a “V” shape.
5 Locate the hook on the strap and loosely
attach the tether to an anchor point.
• See figure A for forward-facing installation.
• See figures B and C for rear-facing
installations.
6 Secure the child seat by a seat-belt OR with
the LATCH connectors.
IMPORTANT: The tether should be hooked
over, not under, the vehicle tether anchor.
7 Pull the tether adjuster strap to remove all
slack.
8 Verify there is tension in the tether strap and
that the child seat is properly secured.
• The child seat is secure when it cannot be
moved front-to-back or side-to-side more than
1 inch (2.5 cm.) at the belt path.
NOTE:
• The rear-facing recline angle of the child seat should be 30º– 45º from
vertical (not to exceed 45º) when car is parked on a level surface (Figs.
B and C).
• Do NOT use the Versa-Tether to achieve this angle. The rear-facing recline
angle can be adjusted by placing a rolled towel or pool noodle in the
vehicle seat bight.
