Installing the Child Seat: Harness Mode
Lower Anchors with CLICKTIGHT
Before you begin:
• Check that your vehicle has lower anchors.
* Use the vehicle belt (not lower connectors) for harness
mode installations with children who weigh more than
40 lbs (18.1 kg).
• Check that your vehicle has a top tether anchor.
* The top tether MUST be used in harness mode for
children that weigh more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg). BRITAX
recommends that the top tether be used at all times
when installing the child seat. Using the top tether will
improve the stability of your child seat and reduce the
risk of injury. Check your vehicle owner's manual for
tether anchor locations.
• Loosen the tether and place it over the child seat back to
keep it from becoming pinned between the child seat and
vehicle seat during installation.
• Adjust the child seat to desired position and place forward
facing on the vehicle seat.
Release the buckle and open
1
the CLICKTIGHT to access the
lower connectors.
* Locate the two slots in the
CLICKTIGHT cover.
* Squeeze the CLICKTIGHT
release levers.
