Installing the Child Seat: Harness Mode

LATCH – Short Path

Before you begin:

99Check that your vehicle has LATCH anchors.

*Check your vehicle owner’s manual for the vehicle’s LATCH anchor limits.

99Check that your vehicle has a top tether anchor.

*Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether is used at all times. Using the tether will improve the stability of the child seat and reduce the risk of injury. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for tether anchor locations.

99Remove the Versa-Tether®hook from the storage clip and place it over the child seat back to keep it from becoming pinned between the child seat and vehicle seat during installation.
