Remove the Versa-Tether1
from the pouch
and place it up and over the child seat back.
Place the child seat forward-facing on the 2
vehicle seat. Ensure the bottom of the child seat
base is in full contact with the vehicle seat.
TIP: You may need to raise or remove the vehicle
head restraint to achieve best fit of the child
seat.
Rotate the lock-off lever to open the forward-3
facing lock-off farthest from where the vehicle belt will be buckled.
Pull vehicle belt out, then pass it 4 over the LCS bar, through the
forward-facing belt path, then over the LCS bar on the opposite
side (Fig. B).
TIP: Turning the back of the child seat toward you can make routing the
vehicle belt easier (Fig. C).
Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation
Figure A illustrates a forward-facing lap-•
shoulder belt installation.
When not in use, always store the LCS •
connectors in the storage slots. See page 30.
Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted and 5
is routed over the LCS bars, then buckle
(Fig. D).
Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle 6
seat while removing slack first from the lap
portion of the vehicle belt, then the shoulder
portion (Fig. E).
Hold the shoulder belt tight, then rotate 7
the lock-off until the vehicle belt is secured
(Fig. F).
Pre-crash locking vehicle seat belts will •
lock in one of two places: the latch plate or
the retractor. If your vehicle seat belt system
includes a pre-crash locking feature, use
of the lock-offs is not required as long as
the vehicle seat belt is locked. Check your
vehicle owner’s manual to determine how
to lock your vehicle seat belt system when
installing a child restraint.
Attach the Versa-Tether8
®
hook to the
designated tether anchor for the chosen
seating position. Remove all slack from the
tether to secure. Store excess webbing in
the tether pouch. See pages 25–28.
Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and the 9
child seat is secure.
The child seat is secure when it cannot be •
moved front-to-back or side-to-side more
than 2.5 cm (1 in.) at the belt path. If the
child seat is not secure, repeat this procedure or use an alternate
seating location.
