Installing the Child Seat
General Information
WARNING!
•
Long belt path is only for use with a lap-shoulder belt. Never
use the long belt path option with LATCH or a lap belt.
•
Use
only the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt system when
restraining a child in booster mode. Never restrain a child with
only a lap belt in booster mode.
•
You MUST always
use the Versa-Tether for children weighing 65
– 85 lbs (29.5 – 38.6 kg) in harness mode.
•
Install forward-facing only.
•
DO NOT use anything to raise the child seat off of the vehicle seat.
•
Refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for the LATCH
anchors in your vehicle. Use the vehicle belt (not LATCH
connectors) for installations with children who weigh more than
the vehicle LATCH anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by
the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40 lb (18.2 kg) child is the
vehicle LATCH anchor limit.
Harness Mode
•
The positioning block must be
rotated to the front when installing
the child seat in harness mode.
•
Based on your vehicle's seat belt
configuration, you may achieve
a more secure installation using
one of two approved lap-
shoulder belt path options (long
or short belt path). If the first

installation method results in more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) of front-to-
back or side-to-side movement at the belt path, try the other option.
See page 32 for information on selecting a belt path to install this
child seat in your vehicle.
•
Use this child seat in harness mode with children at least 2 years of
age and 25 – 85 lbs (11.4 – 38.6 kg) who stand 30 – 57 in. (76.2 –
144.8 cm) in height. Britax recommends using harness mode to 85
lbs (38.6 kg). See the Child Seat Fit Recommendations section on
page 8 for information on when your child has outgrown harness mode.
Booster Mode
•
The positioning block must
be rotated to the back when
positioning the child seat in
booster mode.
•
This child seat can be used in
booster mode with children who
stand 42 – 65 in. (106.7 – 165.1
cm) in height and weigh more
than 40 lbs (18.2 kg). Britax
recommends using harness
mode to 85 lbs (38.6 kg).
•
When positioning this child
seat in booster mode use the
vehicle's lap-shoulder belt to
secure the child and child seat
into the desired seating position.
•
In booster mode, this child
seat can be positioned on the
vehicle seat using LATCH. Use
the vehicle's lap-shoulder belt
to secure the child. Ensure that the LATCH system does not interfere
with the vehicle belt function and alignment when securing your child.
