Checklist for proper installation
Does your vehicle:
Have a seat belt that can be locked? 9
Check your vehicle owner’s manual *
to determine what type of vehicle
belt you have and how it can be
locked for use with child seats.
Have a top tether anchor? 9
Always use the Versa-Tether for children weighing 65 – 80 lbs (29.5 – 36.3 kg). *
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 tether anchor locations.
Pull the vehicle belt out. Route the lap
5
portion of the belt over the red lap belt
guide, while positioning the shoulder
portion of the belt inside the child seat
shell, behind the head restraint.
Do NOT route the shoulder *
portion of the vehicle seat belt
through the red shoulder belt
guide on the head restraint.
If the vehicle has a tether anchor for the
1
chosen seating position, then remove
the Versa-Tether from the storage clip.
Loosen the tether and place it up and 2
over the child seat back.
Rejoin the lap and shoulder belt portions
6
of the vehicle belt, route through the
belt slot to the back of the child seat,
across the back of the child seat shell,
then through the second belt slot to the
front of the child seat.
Route the vehicle belt over the red
7
belt guide around to the outside of the
child seat. Verify the vehicle belt is not
twisted, then buckle.

position.
Place the child seat on the vehicle 4
seat.
Push the child seat firmly into the
8
vehicle seat while removing all slack
from the lap portion and then from the
shoulder portion of the vehicle belt.
NOTE: 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” (2.5 cm.)
at the belt path. If the child seat is not secure, repeat the installation procedure or use
a different seating location.
Attach and tighten the Versa-Tether.

webbing is contained within
your vehicle.
