Switching the LATCH Harness
The LATCH harness may need to be
switched for proper alignment in rear
facing (fig. C) or forward facing (fig. D)
installations. If a proper connection cannot
be achieved, complete the following
procedure to switch the connectors.
1 Pull the LATCH harness and connectors
from the current location.
2 Rotate the harness so that the LATCH
connectors are on opposite sides.
3 Thread the LATCH harness through the
appropriate belt path.
• Refer to figure C for rear facing
installation OR figure D for forward
facing installation.
• Verify that the harness is not twisted.
4 Follow instructions for installation with
LATCH.
Storing the LATCH Harness
When the LATCH Harness is not in use, lift
the cover to access LATCH storage slots
(fig. E). Fold the LATCH adjuster and
connector, then slide each set into the
adjacent slot.
NOTE: Restraints are shipped from Britax with
LATCH connectors in the Storage Slots.

properly on the plane. Contact the
airline about their policy prior to
traveling.
• The FAA recommends that a child
weighing up to 40 pounds use a
