Using the Versa-Tether ®
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for
approved tether-anchorage locations.
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.
Install the child seat using the LATCH
system or the vehicle belts based on the
instructions in this manual.
Lift the tether release tab; then pull to fully
extend the tether strap into a “V” shape.
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.
Secure the child seat by a seat-belt OR
with the LATCH connectors.
Pull the tether adjuster strap to remove all
slack.
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).
The rear-facing recline angle can be adjusted by placing a rolled towel or
pool noodle in the crease of the vehicle seat.

Tether Connector Strap
WARNING! Only use the tether connector strap 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 (Fig. D).
Find a fixed vehicle seat belt anchor or
vehicle seat leg (that is bolted to the
floor) to which the strap can be wrapped
around.
If you cannot find an acceptable location to create an anchor
point, contact the vehicle manufacturer to identify a suitable
tether connection point.
Loop the strap around the metal anchor.
Take the metal D-ring and thread it through the webbing loop
on the other end of the strap.
Pull the metal D-ring all the way through until the strap is tight
around the metal anchor.
Use the D-ring as an attachment point for hook on tether
strap.
