LATCH – Short Route

s Figure A illustrates a typical Short Route LATCH
installation. The restraint is shipped with the LATCH
strap and connectors in the long route configuration.
s If choosing to use LATCH, verify that your vehicle is
equipped with LATCH anchors. If LATCH anchors are	A
not installed, you must use vehicle belt installation
methods.

WARNING! The Versa-Tether must be used at all times in this mode of installation. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their LATCH anchors. Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for

installations with children who weigh more than the vehicle LATCH anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40 pound (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.

1The recline bar must be used at all times with this child seat. Insert the recline bar into the holes on the rear of the child seat. Use a rubber mallet to tap the recline bar ends into the holes. See page 28 for details.

in the short route configuration (Fig. A ).

a Uninstall the child seat.

b Loosen the harness and pull the top of the child seat cover away from the seat shell.
