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.

70 CS specifications

The Britax 70 CS is a highly regarded car seat designed for optimal safety, comfort, and convenience for parents and their little ones. It exemplifies Britax's commitment to innovative features and thoughtful design, ensuring that both parents and children have peace of mind during travel.

One of the standout features of the Britax 70 CS is its unique SafeCell Technology. This system includes a specially designed base that compresses during a crash, lowering the center of gravity and reducing the likelihood of vehicle movement. This feature helps to keep the car seat more securely anchored in place, providing additional protection for the child in the event of an accident. Additionally, the car seat is equipped with a Deep Side Impact Protection system, which features a contoured shell that absorbs crash energy and absorbs impact forces, effectively safeguarding the child's head, neck, and torso.

Comfort is another key characteristic of the Britax 70 CS. The seat is engineered with plush, soft fabrics that provide a cozy environment for children. The seat also features multiple recline positions, allowing parents to adjust the angle for their child's comfort. This is particularly important for younger children who may need a more reclined position to support their head and neck.

Installation of the Britax 70 CS is designed to be user-friendly. The seat features the easy to use, secure installation system with a built-in lock-off that ensures the seat is tightly secured to the vehicle's seat. The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) connectors make it simple to install the car seat without the use of the vehicle's seat belt.

In terms of versatility, the Britax 70 CS accommodates children from 5 to 70 pounds, allowing for extended use as the child grows. Its harness system is adjustable, ensuring proper fit as the child gains weight and height. Furthermore, it converts seamlessly from a rear-facing car seat for infants to a forward-facing seat for older children, making it a long-term investment for safety.

Overall, the Britax 70 CS stands out as a premier choice for parents seeking a car seat that brings together high-level safety features, comfort, and ease of use. Its combination of advanced technologies and thoughtful design makes it an excellent option for family journeys.
