Installation: Versa-Tether ® Child Seat Functions
Energy-Absorbing Tether Switching the LATCH Connectors
The LATCH strap may need to be switched for
proper alignment in rear-facing (Fig. C) versus
forward-facing (Fig. D) installations. If a proper
connection cannot be achieved, complete the
following procedure to switch the connectors.
Lift the front of the child seat cover to access
the LATCH connectors.
Pull the LATCH strap and connectors from
the child’s right side of the child seat.
Thread the LATCH strap and connectors
through the appropriate belt path ensuring
that the larger part of the connector is on
top for the installation procedure you wish
to use (Fig E).
Verify that the harness is not twisted.
IMPORTANT: When installing this child seat in
rear-facing mode, the LATCH strap must rest behind
the child seat buckle.
NOTE: To ensure LATCH connector is properly
aligned with vehicle’s LATCH anchor, the connector’s
red release button should face away from vehicle seat back, and the larger
of the two connector sections is on top (Fig. E).
Replace cover and continue with LATCH installation
procedure.

WARNING! The Energy Absorbing Tether has been
designed to help indicate when this child seat has been
involved in a moderate or severe crash and replacement of the
child seat is necessary.
Figure A shows the tether when the child seat
is acceptable for continued use (provided the
child seat has not been involved in a crash).
The colored stitching will be intact and the
webbing will be looped inside the shell.
Figure B shows the tether when the child
seat is unacceptable for continued use. If
one or both of the loops have pulled through
the back side of the shell and/or any of the
colored stitching has ripped on either side, the child seat is no
longer acceptable for use. Discontinue use of the child seat.
IMPORTANT: Regardless of whether loops have pulled through the back
side of the shell and the colored stitching has been ripped, discontinue use
of the child seat if it has been involved in a moderate or severe crash.
