Installation: Forward Facing

Lap-Belt Installation

Figure A illustrates a typical forward-facing, lap-belt installation.

When not in use, always store LATCH connectors in storage slots.

WARNING! Do not install with non-locking (ELR) two-point vehicle belt.

1�Place child restraint forward facing on vehicle seat.

Restraint must be in full upright position when installed in forward-facing mode with children over 33 pounds (15 kg.).

Britax recommends use of Versa-Tether® to improve installation. Remove Versa-Tether from pouch and loosely attach to an approved tether-anchorage point (pg. 24).

2�Pull vehicle belt out, then pass it under LATCH bar, through forward-facing belt slots, then under LATCH bar on the other side (fig. A).

3�Verify vehicle belt is not twisted, is routed under LATCH bars, then buckle (fig. B).

4�Kneel on child restraint to push it into vehicle seat while removing slack from vehicle belt (fig. C).

5�Remove slack from Versa-Tether and store excess webbing in tether pouch.

6�Verify all connections are secure and that restraint is stable. The restraint is secure when it cannot be moved front to back or side to side more than 1” (2.5 cm.) at belt path. If restraint is not secure, repeat procedure or use an alternate seating location.
