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 who weigh less than
20 lbs (9.1 kg).
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
pouch and place it up and 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).

Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle
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, locked, 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.
