Locate an acceptable position in your vehicle to anchor the teth-
er. There are two possible locations as illustrated below.
a.
The tether is attached to a metal anchor located on the speak-
er shelf of your vehicle.
b.
If your vehicle has more than two rows of seats, the tether is
routed directly over the backrest of the vehicle seat and attached
to a floor mounted tether anchor.
5
Route the tether behind the vehicle seat to form a V-shape.
Hook the tether to the anchor point and pull the tether strap to
remove any slack, creating tension in the belt.
6
Verify that all connections are tight and the child seat is secure.
There should be minimal movement when child seat is rocked.
IMPORTANT:
Britax recommends that the tether be used at all
times, regardless of the installation method. Using the tether will
improve the stability of your child seat and reduce the risk of injury.
Before attaching your tether, check your vehicle's owner manual.
Most U.S. cars and trucks have or can accept tether anchorages.
Adding a tether anchorage generally requires that an anchorage be
bolted into a steel panel. If you can't find information in your vehi-
cle owner’s manual, check with your vehicle dealer or call the vehicle
manufacturer's toll-free customer service number in your vehicle
owner's manual. Ask for a tether anchor kit and instructions on how
to install a tether anchor for a forward facing child seat. Tethers need
to be attached to strong anchors and your manufacturer is most
knowledgeable on what is correct. If no forward-facing tether
anchorages are available, you should NOT modify your vehicle by
drilling or bolting in an unapproved location.
NEVER ATTACH A FORWARD FACING TETHER TO A LOCATION
THAT IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY YOUR VEHICLE MANUFAC-
TURER OR TO A LOCATION THAT YOU BELIEVE IS INCORRECT
OR NOT STRONG ENOUGH. IF THE TETHER COMES LOOSE IN
A CRASH, THE METAL HOOK CAN BECOME AIRBORNE AND
INJURE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.
Using the Versa-Tether:
1
Once the child seat is secured, facing forward, locate the teth-
er, which is behind the seat near the head area of the cover.
2
Lift the silver metal tab out on the tether and pull the belt until
it is extended to a V-shape.
3
Locate the snap hook with spring latch on the tether strap.
