This child restraint is certified for aircraft use. Most airlines in the
U.S. and Canada will allow the use of a child restraint, if it is
labeled as an approved child restraint for airline use and fits
properly on the plane. Contact the airline about their policy prior
to traveling.
•
Place the child restraint next to a
window to avoid blocking the
aisle.
•
If the aircraft lap belt is too short,
ask the flight attendant for a Belt
Extender.

recommends that the tether be used at all times. Using
the tether will improve the stability of the child restraint and
reduce the risk of injury.
•
If the vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or contact
the vehicle manufacturer for assistance.
•
If a tether anchorage is not available, DO NOT modify the
vehicle without advice from the vehicle manufacturer.
•
DO NOT hook the Versa-Tether to the bottom of a vehicle
seat adjuster!
•
The back angle of the child restraint should not exceed 45º
when properly installed in the rear facing position.
•
The rear facing recline angle can be adjusted by tightening the
tether as described on page 24, using anchor point 3.
•
It may be necessary to loosen the tether and vehicle seat belt
before adjusting the recline position.
