Lap Belt Installation - Britax MARATHON 65 Manual

Forward-Facing Installation

Lap Belt Installation

Before You Begin:
• Check that your vehicle belt is compatible for use with child
seats. See pages 8 – 13 for more information.
• Remove the Versa-Tether from the pouch and place it up
and over the child seat back.
* The Versa-Tether must 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 tether anchor
locations. Only attach the Versa-Tether to anchor points
designated to the chosen seating position as indicated by your
vehicle owner's manual.
• Select position 1 or 2 and place the child seat forward-
facing on the vehicle seat.
* Ensure that no more than 20% or 7.6 cm (3 inches) of the base
hangs over the edge of the vehicle seat. See pages 20 – 21 for
more information.

WARNING!
• Your child seat may not perform as intended if the base of the child
seat is not flat on the vehicle seat.
• This child seat must not be used forward-facing for children less
than one year of age OR who weigh less than 9.1 kg (20 lbs).
• Some vehicle head restraints may
obstruct the harness adjuster from
reaching the highest position. If this
is the case, you may need to raise or
remove the vehicle head restraint. DO
NOT force the child seat head pad past
the vehicle head restraint. Doing so
could cause the child seat not to perform
as intended.
