Tether Connector Strap
NOTE: Britax child seats are shipped with the tether connector strap
attached to the Versa-Tether ® hook. When not in use with rear-facing
installations that have designated tether anchors or forward-facing
installations, store the tether connector strap in the tether pouch.
Because every vehicle model is different,
sometimes you cannot find a location to
properly anchor the tether. Use the tether
connector strap to assist in creating an
anchor point (Fig. D).
Find a fixed vehicle anchor point that is 1
bolted to the floor.
If you cannot find an acceptable
2
location to create an anchor point,
contact the vehicle manufacturer to
identify a suitable tether connection
point.
Route the tether connector strap around
3
the fixed vehicle anchor point.
Take the metal D-ring and thread it
4
through the webbing loop on the other
end of the tether connector strap.
Pull the metal D-ring all the way through
5
until the tether connector strap is tight
around the metal anchor.
Use the D-ring as an attachment point
6
for hook on tether strap.
