To remove the Versa-Tether from a Tether Anchor:
1. Loosen the Versa-Tether.
a. Tilt the adjuster tab
up.
b. Pull the tether
webbing.
2. Remove the Versa-Tether hook from the tether anchor.
NOTE: The Versa-Tether
carry clip is only for use
when you wish to carry
the child seat between
locations. Do not install
the child seat with the
Versa-Tether attached
to the carry clip. Secure
the excess Versa-Tether webbing in the elastic strap
during use. Store the Versa-Tether in the storage pouch
when not in use. Always ensure any excess webbing is
contained within your vehicle.
The Versa-Tether can indicate when the child seat has been
in a moderate or severe crash (see "Important Notes" on
page 5) and replacement of the child seat is necessary.
Figure 1 shows a tether
acceptable for continued use
(provided the child seat has
not been involved in a crash).
The colored stitching will be
intact and not visible from the
back of the seat.
Figures 2 and 3 show
examples of when the tether
has been damaged and is
unacceptable for continued
use. If one or both of the
loops have pulled through the
back of the shell and/or any
of the colored stitching has
ripped, the child seat is no
longer acceptable for use.
IMPORTANT: Discontinue
use of child seat if it has been
involved in a moderate or
severe crash, regardless of
whether the loops have pulled
through the back side of the
shell and the colored stitching
has been ripped.

Vehicle Seating Positions

DO NOT place child seat rear-facing
in the front seat of a vehicle with
a passenger air bag. DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY can occur. See your
vehicle owner's manual for child seat
installation instructions. The back seat
is the safest place for children 12 and
under.
Some vehicles have no seating positions which are
compatible with this child seat. If in doubt, contact the
vehicle manufacturer for assistance.
Forward-facing vehicle seats MUST be used with this
child seat. Side-facing or rear-facing seats CANNOT be
used. See the diagram below.
