Britax 55 manual Shows a tether acceptable for use

Child Seat Functions

The Versa-Tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a moderate or severe crash (see page 4) and replacement of the child seat is necessary.

Figure 1 shows a tether acceptable for continued use

(provided the child seat has not been involved in a crash). The colored stitching will be intact but not visible from the back of the seat.

Figures 2 and 3 show examples of when the tether has been damaged and is unacceptable for continued use. If one or both of the loops have pulled through the back of the shell and/or any of the colored stitching has ripped, the child seat is no longer acceptable for use.

IMPORTANT: Discontinue use of child seat if it has been involved in a moderate or severe crash, regardless of whether the loops have pulled through the back side of the shell and the colored

stitching has been ripped.
