Lap-Belt Installation
Figure A illustrates a typical forward-facing, lap-•
belt installation.
When not in use, always store the LATCH •
connectors in the storage slots. See page 30.
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 locations.
Place the child seat forward-facing on the vehicle seat. Ensure 1
the bottom of the child seat base is in full contact with the
vehicle seat.
If the vehicle is equipped with a designated tether anchor for 2
the chosen seating position, remove the Versa-Tether from the
pouch and place it up and over the child seat back.
Pull the vehicle belt out, then pass it 3 under the LATCH bar, through
the forward-facing belt path, then under the LATCH bar on the
opposite side (Fig. B).
Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted, is routed 4 under the
LATCH bars, then buckle (Fig. B).
Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle seat while removing 5
slack from the vehicle belt (Fig. C).

and 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 in. (2.5 cm) at the belt path. If the child seat is not secure,
repeat this procedure or use an alternate seating location.
