Britax CS Manuel D’Utilisation

Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted and

is routed over the LATCH bars, then buckle

(Fig. D).

Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle seat

while removing slack first from the lap portion

of the vehicle belt, then the shoulder portion

(Fig. E).

Hold the shoulder belt tight, then rotate the lock-

off until the vehicle belt is secured (Fig. F).

If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic

•

locking retractor (ALR), use of lock-offs is not

required as long as the ALR is locked. Check

your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the

type of retractor your vehicle has, and how to lock

the retractor.

Attach the Versa-Tether

hook to the designated

tether anchor (if available according to the vehicle

owner’s manual) for the chosen seating position.

Remove all slack from the tether to secure. Store

excess webbing in the tether pouch. See pages

25 – 28.

Verify that the vehicle belt is tight 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.

Installation: Forward-Facing

Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation

Figure A illustrates a forward-facing lap-shoulder

•

belt installation.

When not in use, always store the LATCH connectors

•

in the storage slots. See page 29.

WARNING!

This child seat must not be used forward-facing

•

for children less than one year of age OR who

weigh less than 20 lbs (9.1 kg).

This child seat must be in full upright position

•

when installed forward-facing for children who

weigh more than 33 pounds (15.1 kg).

If the vehicle is equipped with a designated

tether anchor for the chosen seating position,

remove the Versa-Tether

from the pouch and

place it up and over the child seat back.

IMPORTANT: Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether

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 the bottom of the child seat base is in full

contact with the vehicle seat.

TIP: You may need to raise or remove the vehicle head

restraint to achieve best fit of the child seat.

Rotate the lock-off lever to open the forward-facing lock-off farthest

from where the vehicle belt will be buckled.

Pull vehicle belt out, then pass it

over the LATCH bar, through the

forward-facing belt path, then over the LATCH bar on the opposite

side (Fig. B).

TIP: Turning the back of the child seat toward you can make routing the vehicle

belt easier (Fig. C).
