Figure A illustrates a typical forward-facing LATCH

installation.

Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchors.

If LATCH anchors are not available, you must use vehicle

belt installation methods.

NOTE:

LATCH connectors must be in an upright

position (as shown in figure B) and strap should be

tight and not twisted to ensure proper installation.

If stored, remove LATCH connectors from storage

slots under cover (see page 28).

Press and hold first LATCH adjuster button,

then pull LATCH strap to full length. Repeat for

remaining LATCH connector.

Place restraint sideways on vehicle seat, with back

of restraint facing toward you.

Restraint must be in full upright position when

installed in forward-facing mode with children over

33 pounds (15 kg.).

Britax recommends use of Versa-Tether® to improve

installation. Remove Versa-Tether from pouch and

loosely attach to an approved tether-anchorage point

(see page 24).

Verify LATCH strap is not twisted, then attach

closest LATCH connector to vehicle seat back to

farthest LATCH anchor from you (fig. C).

NOTE:

It may be necessary to switch LATCH

connectors as shown on page 27 if ANY of the

following conditions exist:

LATCH connector is not in an upright position as

shown in figure B.

LATCH strap is twisted.

A positive click is NOT heard when LATCH connector

and LATCH anchor are connected.

NOTE:

If a positive click is not heard, but LATCH

connector is in an upright position, you should not

switch LATCH connector. The strap may be too tight or twisted, or there may be

debris in LATCH connector.
