Forward-Facing Installation

LATCH Installation

Before You Begin:

•Check that your vehicle has lower anchors.

* Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their lower anchors. Use vehicle belt (not lower connectors) for installations with children who weigh more than the vehicle lower anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40 pound (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle lower anchor limit.

•Remove the lower connectors from the storage slots in the base. Press the adjuster release button and pull the lower connector strap to full length. Repeat for the second strap.

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

* 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. Only attach the Versa-Tether to anchor points designated to the chosen seating position as indicated by your vehicle owner’s manual.

•This child seat must be in position 1 or 2 and placed forward facing on the vehicle seat.

* Ensure that no more than 20% or 3 inches (7.6 cm) of the base hangs over the edge of the vehicle seat. See page 23 for more information.
