Installation: Versa-Tether

Child Seat Functions

Figure A 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 looped inside the shell.

Figures B and C show the tether when the child

seat is unacceptable for continued use. If one or

both of the loops have pulled through the back

side of the shell and/or any of the colored stitching

has released on either side, the child seat is no

longer acceptable for use. Discontinue use of the

child seat.

IMPORTANT:

Regardless of whether loops have

pulled through the back side of the shell and the

colored stitching has been released, discontinue use

of the child seat if it has been involved in a moderate

or severe crash.

Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether

Switching the LATCH Mode

The LATCH connector strap must be switched to

the correct belt path for rear-facing (Fig. D) versus

forward-facing (Fig. E) installation modes.

Complete the following procedure to switch the

LATCH mode.

Lift the front of the child seat cover to access

the LATCH connectors.

Pull the LATCH strap and connectors from the

child’s right side of the child seat.

Thread the LATCH strap and connectors

through the appropriate belt path for the

installation procedure you wish to use.

IMPORTANT:

When installing this child seat in rear-

facing mode, the LATCH strap must rest

IN FRONT

OF the child seat buckle when using buckle slots 1

or 2 (Fig. E).

NOTE:

To ensure LATCH connector is properly

aligned with the vehicle LATCH anchor, the red

release button on the connector should face away

from the vehicle seat back, and the larger of the two

connector sections is on top (Fig. F).

Replace the cover and continue with LATCH

installation procedure.

The energy-absorbing Versa-Tether was designed to enhance

the performance of the child seat tether. By introducing a staged

release of the tether webbing, the forward movement of the child

seat is delayed while reducing the amount of energy transferred to

the child seat during a crash. A secondary benefit of the energy-

absorbing Versa-Tether is to help indicate when the child seat has

been involved in a moderate or severe crash and replacement of the

child seat is necessary.
