Lap-Belt Installation - Britax BOULEVARD CS User Manual

Installation: Forward-Facing

Lap-Belt Installation

• Figure A illustrates a forward-facing, lap-belt
installation.
• When not in use, always store the LATCH
connectors in the storage slots. See page 30.
WARNING!
• This child seat must not be used
forward-facing for children less than
one year of age OR who weigh less
than 20 lbs (9.1 kg).
• This child seat must be in full upright
position when installed forward-facing
for children who weigh more than 33
lbs (15.1 kg).
IMPORTANT: 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
approved tether locations.
1 Place the child seat forward-facing on the 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.
2 If the vehicle is equipped with a designated tether anchor for the
chosen seating position, remove the Versa-Tether from the pouch
and place it up and over the child seat back.
3 Pull the vehicle belt out, then pass it
the forward-facing belt path, then under the LATCH bar on the
opposite side (Fig. B).

seat while removing slack from the vehicle
belt (Fig. C).
6 Attach the Versa-Tether hook to the
®
designated tether anchor (if available
according to the vehicle owner's manual)
for the chosen seating position. Remove all slack from the tether
to secure. Store excess webbing in the tether pouch. See pages
25–28.
7 Verify that the vehicle belt is tight, locked 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 in. (2.5 cm) at the belt path. If the child
seat is not secure, repeat this procedure or use an alternate seating
location.
