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 vehicle belt out and thread it through the forward-facing
belt path (Fig. C).
Verify vehicle belt is not twisted and buckle (Fig. D).

Push the child seat firmly into vehicle seat
while tightening vehicle belt.
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, locked, and 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
