Installation : Forward-Facing
Attach the Versa-Tether hook to the designated tether anchor
®
for the chosen seating position. Remove all slack from the
tether to secure. Store excess webbing in the tether pouch. See
pages 25 – 27.
Verify that the vehicle belt is tight, locked, and child seat is

The child seat is secure when it cannot be moved front-to-back or side-
to-side more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) at the belt path. If the child seat is not
