7 Verify that there is tension in the tether strap and that child restraint is properly secured.

IMPORTANT: The proper child restraint angle is the angle where your child rests comfortably back, but never more than 45 degrees from vertical.

Releasing the Versa-Tether

To release the Versa-Tether, push the adjuster button down and inwards on the tether strap, and pull to loosen. Unhook the teth- er from tether anchor point to release child restraint. This method occasionally may be difficult. An alternative method is to release the seat belt first.

1Locate a seat frame bar, vehicle seat leg, or a fixed vehicle seat belt anchor that is bolted to the floor which the strap can be wrapped around.

2Loop the strap around the metal

anchor, then take the metal d-ring and lace it through the hole on the other side of the strap.

3 Pull the metal d-ring all the way through until strap is tight around the tether anchor.

4 Attach the tether hook to the strap or d-ring.

LATCHANCHOR specifications

The Britax LATCHAnchor is a state-of-the-art car seat installation system designed to simplify the process of securing your child's car seat while enhancing safety and convenience. The LATCH system—an acronym for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children—was developed to provide a standardized method of attaching car seats to vehicles, ensuring a secure fit without the need for seat belts. The Britax LATCHAnchor exemplifies this system with its innovative and user-friendly design.

One of the standout features of the Britax LATCHAnchor is its easy-to-use installation mechanism. The system includes lower anchors built into the car seat, which connect effortlessly to the vehicle's designated LATCH anchors located in the seat. This design minimizes the chances of user error during installation, as it provides a secure and stable attachment point for the car seat. Additionally, the LATCHAnchor assists parents in achieving a proper installation—reducing the likelihood of improper attachment, which could compromise safety in the event of a collision.

Safety is a top priority, and the Britax LATCHAnchor incorporates advanced safety technologies to protect young passengers. The car seats are designed with energy-absorbing foam and side impact protection features, which work together to cushion and shield children in the event of an accident. The tether system further enhances safety by reducing seat rotation during a crash, thus providing additional security for the child.

In addition to safety and ease of use, the Britax LATCHAnchor boasts noteworthy flexibility. It is compatible with a variety of Britax car seat models and adapts to different vehicle types, making it a versatile option for families. The adjustable straps allow for a snug fit in different seating configurations, ensuring that parents can achieve the best installation possible.

Another significant advantage of the LATCHAnchor system is its convenient storage design. The LATCH connectors can easily be stored within the seat shell when not in use, keeping them tidy and preventing loss. This thoughtful design feature ensures that installation remains a hassle-free experience for parents.

The Britax LATCHAnchor perfectly embodies a blend of cutting-edge technology, user-focused design, and unparalleled safety features. By prioritizing ease of installation, adaptability, and safety, Britax continues to set the standard in child passenger safety. With the LATCHAnchor, parents can confidently transport their little ones, knowing they have chosen a reliable and meticulously engineered solution for their car seat needs.
