ALWAYS USE THE VERSA-TETHER FOR CHILDREN WEIGHING MORE THAN 50 POUNDS (22.6 KG).

WARNING: Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with children weighing more than 48 pounds (21 kg). Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their LATCH anchors. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 48-pound child is the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.

Removal

To remove the child restraint, release both LATCH connectors from the LATCH anchors by pressing the red release buttons. If connected, disconnect the Versa-Tether from the tether anchor. Store LATCH connectors and tether components in storage pockets when not in use.
