LATCH – Short Path

Before you begin:

Check that your vehicle has LATCH anchors.

* Check your vehicle owner’s manual for the vehicle’s LATCH

anchor limits.

Check that your vehicle has a top tether anchor.

* Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether is 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

tether anchor locations.

Remove the Versa-Tether

hook from the storage clip and

place it over the child seat back to keep it from becoming

pinned between the child seat and vehicle seat during

installation.

Versa-Tether

Install with LATCH using only the short belt path as shown

above.

your vehicle.

* Ensure harness height is

adjusted to fit your child.

the front and place the child

seat on the vehicle seat.

Verify that the LATCH strap is

not twisted and firmly press

the LATCH connectors onto

their adjacent LATCH anchors

to attach.

Push the child seat into the

vehicle seat and pull the end

of the LATCH strap through

the belt slot to secure.

* The child seat is secure when it

cannot be moved front-to-back

or side-to-side more than 1 in.

(2.5 cm) at the belt path. If the

child seat is not secure, repeat

the installation procedure or

use a different seating location.

Firmly press the Versa-Tether

hook to the vehicle tether

anchor to attach. Remove all

slack from the tether webbing.

Use the elastic strap to
