Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation

Before You Begin:

Check that your vehicle belt is compatible for use with child seats. See pages 8 13 for more information.

* If your vehicle seat belt system includes a locking feature, use of the lock-offs is not required as long as the vehicle seat belt system is locked. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine how to lock your vehicle seat belt system when installing a child restraint.

This child seat must be reclined to position 3 and placed rear-facing on the vehicle seat.

* When properly installed in the rear-

facing position, the back angle of the child seat should be at least 30˚ for

children and up to 45˚ from vertical for

infants unable to maintain head and

neck control (not to exceed 45˚) when the car is parked on a level surface. Use

the blue line as a guide to achieve the

proper recline angle for rear-facing installations. The blue line will be parallel to the ground when the child seat angle is at the center of the angle range (30 – 45˚). If necessary, the proper recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled towel or pool noodle in the vehicle seat bight.

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. See page 25 for possible rear-facing tether configurations.
