Rotate lever downward to open forward-
facing lock-off farthest from where the vehicle
belt is buckled.
Remove slack from the lap portion of the
vehicle belt.
Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle seat
while pulling the shoulder portion of the vehicle
belt tightly through the lock-off (Fig. E).
Hold the shoulder belt tight and rotate lock-off
upward until secured (Fig. F).
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic locking
retractor (ALR), use of lock-offs is not required as
long as the ALR is locked. Check your vehicle owner’s
manual to determine type of retractor your vehicle
has, and how to lock the retractor.
If vehicle is equipped with an approved tether
anchor, attach Versa-Tether ® hook to an approved
tether anchor. Remove all slack from tether to
secure. Store excess webbing in the tether pouch.
See pages 25 – 28.
Verify that the vehicle belt is tight 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 inch
(2.5 cm.) at the belt path.
Removal
If connected, disconnect the Versa-Tether ® from the tether
anchor.
Press the red release button on the vehicle belt buckle and pull the
vehicle buckle from the child seat belt path.

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 anchor locations.
If vehicle is equipped with an approved tether anchor for the
chosen seating position, remove Versa-Tether ® from pouch and
place up and over child seat back.
Pull the vehicle belt out and thread it through the forward-
facing belt path (Fig. C).
Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted and buckle (Fig. D).
