Britax Roundabout - Manual (Page 12)

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 anchor locations.
Place the child seat forward-facing on the
vehicle seat.
Child seat may be in upright or recline position. See
Recline Adjustment on page 30.
If the vehicle is equipped with an approved
tether anchor for the chosen seating position,
remove the Versa-Tether ® from the pouch and place it up and
over the child seat back.
Pull the vehicle belt out and thread it through the forward-
facing belt path (Fig. B).
Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted and buckle (Fig. C).
Rotate lever downward to open the forward-facing lock-off
farthest from where the vehicle belt is buckled.
Remove slack from the lap portion of the vehicle belt.

Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle
seat while pulling the shoulder portion of
the vehicle belt tightly through the lock-off
(Fig. D).
Hold the shoulder belt tight and rotate the
lock-off upward until secured (Fig. E).
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic locking
retractor (ALR), use of the lock-offs is not required
as long as the ALR is locked. Check your vehicle
owner’s manual to determine what type of retractor
your vehicle has, and how to lock the retractor.
If the vehicle is equipped with an approved
tether anchor, attach the Versa-Tether ® hook
to an approved tether anchor. 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 that the child seat is
secure.
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.
Removal
If connected, disconnect the Versa-Tether ® from the tether
anchor.
Press the red release button on the vehicle belt buckle and pull
the vehicle buckle from the child seat belt path.
