	• Always use the Versa-Tether when the child seat
	is installed forward-facing. Check your vehicle	B
	owner’s manual for approved tether anchor
	locations.
IMPORTANT: Check that the LCS connector strap is
tight and not twisted, and that the LCS connectors
are in an upright position (Fig. B) to ensure proper
installation.

Installation : Forward-Facing

4Place the child seat sideways in the upright position on the vehicle seat with the back of the child seat facing you.

5Remove the Versa-Tether from the pouch and place up and over the child seat back.

6Verify that the LCS strap is not twisted and attach

the closest LCS connector to the vehicle seat back	e
to the farthest LUAS anchor (Fig. B).

•A positive click confirms attachment.

NOTE : It may be necessary to switch LCS connectors as shown on page 28 if ANY of the following

conditions exist :
• LCS connector is not in an upright position (Fig. D).
• LCS strap is twisted.
• A positive click is NOT heard when the LCS connector	F
connects to the LUAS anchor.
NOTE : If a positive click is not heard, but the LCS

connector is in an upright position, you should not switch the LCS connector. The strap may be too tight or twisted, or there may be debris in the LCS connector.

7Rotate the child seat into the forward-facing position.

8Verify that the LCS strap is not twisted and attach the remaining LCS connector to the adjacent LUAS anchor (Fig. D).

•A positive click confirms attachment.

9Push the child seat into the vehicle seat while pulling the LCS adjuster strap tight (Fig. F). Ensure the bottom of the child seat base is in full contact with the vehicle seat.

10Attach the Versa-Tether®hook to the designated tether anchor for the chosen seating position. Remove all slack from the tether to secure. Store any excess webbing in the tether pouch. See pages 25 – 27.

11Verify all connections are secure and that the child seat is stable.

•The child seat is secure when it cannot be moved front-to-back or side-to-side more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) at the belt path. If the child seat is not secure, repeat the procedure or use an alternate seating location.
