Forward-Facing Installation

LATCH Installation

Before You Begin:
• Check that your vehicle has lower anchors.
* Refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their lower
anchors. Use vehicle belt (not lower connectors) for installations
with children who weigh more than the vehicle lower anchor limit.
Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a
40 lb (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle lower anchor limit.
• Remove the lower connectors from the storage slots in the base.
Press the adjuster release button and pull the lower connector
strap to full length. Repeat for the second strap.
• Remove the Versa-Tether from the pouch and place it up and over
the child seat back.
* Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether is 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 tether
anchor locations. Only attach the Versa-Tether to anchor points
designated to the chosen seating position as indicated by your
vehicle owner's manual.
• Adjust this child seat to position 1 or 2 and place forward-facing
on the vehicle seat (see page 15).
* Ensure that no more than 20% or 3 in. (7.6 cm) of the base hangs
over the edge of the vehicle seat.
Install with the LATCH as shown above.
WARNING!
• Your child seat may not perform as intended if the base of the child
seat is not flat on the vehicle seat.
• Some vehicle head restraints may obstruct
the harness adjuster from reaching the
highest position. If this is the case, you may
need to raise or remove the vehicle head
restraint. DO NOT force the child seat head
restraint past the vehicle head restraint.
Doing so could cause the child seat not to
perform as intended.

lower anchors.
• A click confirms attachment.
• Verify that the lower connector
strap is not twisted.
TIP: You may need to turn the back
of the child seat toward you for
easier access to the vehicle lower
anchors.
NOTE: If a click is not heard when
connecting either lower connector, the
lower connector strap may be twisted,
or there may be debris in the lower
connector. Correct either situation
before continuing with the installation
process.
