Turn and push the buckle 
retainer through the slots in 
the cover and shell to the 
bottom of the child seat.
Re-thread the Buckle
Select the slot closest to, but not under the child.
Pull the buckle away from the 
child seat until tight. Verify that 
the buckle retainer lies flat 
against the child seat shell.
Ensure that the buckle strap is 
not twisted and that the button 
faces out.
Energy-Absorbing Tether
The Versa-Tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a 
moderate or severe crash and replacement of the child seat is 
necessary.
Figure 1 shows the tether when 
the child seat is acceptable for 
continued use (provided the child 
seat has not been involved in a 
crash). The colored stitching will 
be intact and the webbing will be 
held under a tether label.
Figures 2 and 3 show examples 
of when the child seat is 
unacceptable for continued use. 
If the tether label is torn, or if one 
or both of the loops have pulled 
through the back side 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.
