use when you wish to carry the child seat between
locations. Do not install the child seat with the Versa-
Tether attached to the carry clip. Secure the excess
Versa-Tether webbing in the elastic strap during use.

use. Always ensure any excess webbing is contained
within your vehicle.

The Versa-Tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a
moderate or severe crash (see page 4) and replacement of the
child seat is necessary.
Figure 1 shows a tether acceptable
for continued use (provided the
child seat has not been involved
in a crash). The colored stitching
will be intact but not visible from
the back of the seat.
Figures 2 and 3 show examples
of when the tether has been
damaged and is unacceptable for
continued use. If one or both of
the loops have pulled through the
back of the shell and/or any of the
colored stitching has ripped, the
child seat is no longer acceptable
for use.
IMPORTANT: Discontinue use of
child seat if it has been involved
in a moderate or severe crash,
regardless of whether the loops
have pulled through the back
side of the shell and the colored
stitching has been ripped.
