• NEVER ATTACH A FORWARD FACING TETHER TO A LOCA-
TION THAT IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY YOUR VEHICLE
MANUFACTURER OR TO A LOCATION THAT YOU BELIEVE
IS INCORRECT OR NOT STRONG ENOUGH. IF THE TETHER
COMES LOOSE IN A CRASH, THE METAL HOOK CAN FLY
AROUND AND INJURE SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE.
• THE TOP TETHER MUST BE USED FOR CHILDREN HEAVIER
THAN 50 lbs.
• Britax recommends that the tether be used at all times. Using
the tether will improve the stability of your child restraint and
reduce the risk of injury.
• If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact
your vehicle manufacturer for assistance.
• If a tether anchorage is not available, you should NOT modify
your vehicle without advice from your vehicle manufacturer.
INSTALLING THE VERSA-TETHER TM
1 Once your child seat is in a secure, seat-belted position locate the
tether and remove from pouch.

location A or B in the illustration on page 15.
IMPORTANT: If in doubt about your tether anchorage point or if your
vehicle is not equipped with a tether anchorage point, check your vehi-
cle owner’s manual or contact your vehicle manufacturer for
assistance.
4 Hook the tether to the tether anchor point, then pull on the
tether belt to remove any slack.
