4Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted, is routed under the LATCH bars, then buckle (Fig. B).

5Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle seat while removing slack from the vehicle belt (Fig. C).

6 Attach the Versa-Tether®hook to the	c
designated tether anchor (if available
according to the vehicle owner’s manual)

for the chosen seating position. Remove all slack from the tether to secure. Store excess webbing in the tether pouch. See pages 25–28.

7Verify that the vehicle belt is tight, locked and the child seat is secure.

•The child seat is secure when it cannot be moved front-to-back or side-to-side more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the belt path. If the child seat is not secure, repeat this procedure or use an alternate seating location.

IMPORTANT: Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether be 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 approved tether locations.

1Place the child seat forward-facing on the vehicle seat. Ensure the bottom of the child seat base is in full contact with the vehicle seat.

TIP:You may need to raise or remove the vehicle head restraint to achieve best fit of the child seat.

2If the vehicle is equipped with a designated tether anchor for the chosen seating position, remove the Versa-Tether from the pouch and place it up and over the child seat back.

3Pull the vehicle belt out, then pass it under the LATCH bar, through the forward-facing belt path, then under the LATCH bar on the opposite side (Fig. B).
