Using the Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether

Failure to follow the guidelines below may cause the child
seat not to perform as intended.
• BRITAX recommends that the Versa-Tether be used at
all times when installing the child seat. Using the tether
will improve the stability of your child seat and reduce
the risk of injury.
• Attach the Versa-Tether only to tether anchors identified
by your vehicle manufacturer as tether anchorage
points. Only use the designated tether anchor for each
seating position.
• If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, refer to your vehicle owner's manual or
contact your vehicle man u fac tur er for assistance. DO
NOT modify your vehicle without advice from your
vehicle manufacturer.
• Store the Versa-Tether in the pouch on the back of the
child seat when not in use. DO NOT install the child
seat with the Versa-Tether attached to the carry clip.
Tether anchor locations vary from
vehicle to vehicle. Check your vehicle
owner's manual and look for the tether
anchor symbol shown in the diagram
to help identify where the top tether
anchor points are located in your
vehicle. See the diagrams on page 29
for possible rear and forward-facing
Versa-Tether installation configurations.

through the loop on the
end of the strap.
4. Pull the metal D-ring
through until the strap is
