Installation with LATCH
1
Verify that your vehicle is equipped
with LATCH anchors. (Fig A)
•
If LATCH anchors are not installed,
you must use standard vehicle belt
installation methods.
2
Insert recline bar into holes on
rear of restraint (see page 18).
3
If stored, remove LATCH
connectors from storage pouches
on rear of cover.
4
Place the restraint on the vehicle
seat with the back facing toward you.
5
Route the furthest LATCH
connector under the recline bar,
then loosely attach to LATCH
anchor (Fig. B).
•
A positive click confirms attachment.
•
Verify that LATCH harness is not
twisted.
6
Rotate seat into forward facing
position.
7
Route the closest LATCH
connector under the recline bar,
then loosely attach to LATCH
anchor (Fig. C).
•
A positive click confirms attachment.
•
Verify that LATCH harness is not
twisted.
8
While kneeling on child restraint,
reach through belt slots to access
loop end of LATCH harness
adjuster straps. Pull straps under
recline bar and through slots to
tighten (Fig. D).
Installation can be improved by the
use of the Versa-Tether
™
(see
pages 16–17
).
ALWAYS USE THE VERSA-TETHER FOR CHILDREN WEIGHING
MORE THAN 50 POUNDS (22.6 KG).
WARNING:
Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for
installations with children weighing more than 48 pounds (21
kg). Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their LATCH
anchors. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer,
assume a 48-pound child is the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.
Removal
To remove the child restraint, release both LATCH connectors from the
LATCH anchors by pressing the red release buttons. If connected,
disconnect the Versa-Tether from the tether anchor. Store LATCH
connectors and tether components in storage pockets when not in use.
