Lap-Shoulder Belt – Long Route

sFigure A illustrates a typical Long Route lap-shoulder

belt installation.

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 A risk of injury. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for approved tether locations.

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.
2	If the vehicle is equipped with a designated B
	tether anchor for the chosen seating position, remove the
	Versa-Tether®from the pouch, loosen and place it up and over
	the child seat back.
3	Place the child seat in the forward-facing position on the vehicle
	seat. Ensure the bottom of the child seat shell is in full contact
	with the vehicle seat and the recline bar is resting against the
	vehicle seat back.

	the vehicle buckle from the front to the rear of the child seat.

sThe vehicle belt must route over the child seat cover and outside of the recline bar.
