Child Seat Functions

Using the Versa-Tether®

WARNING: Failure to follow the guidelines below may cause the child seat not to perform as intended:

Attach the Versa-Tether only to tether anchors identified by your vehicle manufacturer as tether anchorage points. Only use the designated tether anchor for each seating position.

If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor attachment, refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact your vehicle manufacturer for assistance. DO NOT modify your vehicle without advice from your vehicle manufacturer.

Store the Versa-Tether in the pouch on the back of the child seat when not in use. DO NOT install the child seat with the Versa-Tether attached to the carry clip.

Tether anchor locations vary from vehicle to vehicle. Check your vehicle owner’s manual and look for the tether anchor symbol shown in the diagram to help identify

where the top tether anchor points are located in your vehicle. Britax

recommends that the tether be used at all times when installing the child seat.

Using the tether will improve the stability of your child seat and reduce the risk of injury. See the diagrams on page 27 for possible rear- and forward-facing Versa- Tether installation configurations.
