Child Seat Functions

Using the Versa-Tether

WARNING: Failure to follow the guidelines below may
cause the child seat not to perform as intended:
• You MUST always use the Versa-Tether when using the
child seat forward-facing. Using the tether will improve the
stability of your child seat and reduce the risk of injury.
• Attach the Versa-Tether only to tether anchors identified by
your vehicle manufacturer as tether anchorage points. Only
use the designated tether anchor for each seating position.
• If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact
your vehicle man u fac tur er for assistance. DO NOT modify
your vehicle without advice from your vehicle manufacturer.
• Store the Versa-Tether in the pouch on the back of the child
seat when not in use. DO NOT install the child seat with the
Versa-Tether attached to the carry clip.
Tether anchor locations vary from vehicle to vehicle. Check your
vehicle owner's manual and look for the tether anchor symbol
shown in the diagram to help identify
where the top tether anchor points
are located in your vehicle. Britax
recommends that the tether be used at
all times when installing the child seat.
Using the tether will improve the stability
of your child seat and reduce the risk of
injury. See the diagrams on page 25 for
possible rear- and forward-facing Versa-
Tether installation configurations.

Because every vehicle model is different, a
location to anchor the tether for rear-facing
installations may vary. Use the rear-facing tether
connector strap to assist in creating an anchor
point.
1 Find a fixed location in the vehicle that is bolted
to the floor.
* If you cannot find a location to create an anchor point, contact the
vehicle manufacturer to identify a tether connection point.
2 Route the strap through the anchor point.
3 Thread the metal D-ring through the loop on the end of the strap.
4 Pull the metal D-ring through until the strap is tight.
5 Use the D-ring as an attachment
point for the tether.
NOTE: Store the tether connector strap in
the tether pouch when not in use.
