Lap-Shoulder Belt – Long Path

Before you begin:

99Check that your vehicle has a seat belt that can be locked.

*Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine what type of vehicle belt you have and how it can be locked for use with child seats. If your vehicle belt does not lock, a locking clip must be used. Call Britax Consumer Services at 1(888)427-4829 to obtain a locking clip.

99Check that your vehicle has a top tether anchor?

*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.

99Remove the Versa-Tether®hook from the storage clip and place it over the child seat back to keep it from becoming pinned between the child seat and vehicle seat during installation.
