Installation: Forward-Facing

Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation

• Figure A illustrates a typical forward-facing lap-
shoulder belt installation.
• When not in use, always store LATCH connectors in
storage slots. See page 30.
WARNING! This child seat must not
be used forward-facing for children
less than one year of age OR weighing less
than 20 pounds.
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 anchor locations.
1 Place the child seat forward-facing on the
vehicle seat.
• Child seat may be in upright or recline position. See
Recline Adjustment on page 30.
2 If the vehicle is equipped with an approved
tether anchor for the chosen seating position,
remove the Versa-Tether
over the child seat back.
3 Pull the vehicle belt out and thread it through the forward-
facing belt path (Fig. B).
4 Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted and buckle (Fig. C).
5 Rotate lever downward to open the forward-facing lock-off
farthest from where the vehicle belt is buckled.

seat while pulling the shoulder portion of
the vehicle belt tightly through the lock-off
(Fig. D).
8 Hold the shoulder belt tight and rotate the
lock-off upward until secured (Fig. E).
• If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic locking
retractor (ALR), use of the lock-offs is not required
as long as the ALR is locked. Check your vehicle
owner's manual to determine what type of retractor
your vehicle has, and how to lock the retractor.
9 If the vehicle is equipped with an approved
tether anchor, attach the Versa-Tether
to an approved tether anchor. Remove all
slack from the tether to secure. Store excess
webbing in the tether pouch. See pages 25 – 28.
10 Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and that 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 inch (2.5 cm.) at the belt path.

• If connected, disconnect the Versa-Tether
anchor.
