Energy-Absorbing Tether

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.
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 any of
the loops have pulled through the back side of the
shell and/or any of the colored stitching has been
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.

Storing the LCS Connectors

When the LCS connectors are not in use, lift the
cover to access the LCS storage slots (Fig. D).
Fold the LCS adjuster and the connector, then
slide each set into the adjacent slot.
NOTE: Child seats are shipped from Britax with
the LCS connectors in the storage slots. You will
have to open the rear-facing lock-offs to remove
the LCS connectors from storage.

Recline Adjustment

Pull the recline handle (Fig. E) then slide
the child seat shell into the desired position.
Release the recline handle, then verify the child
seat has locked into position.
NOTE: It will be necessary to loosen the tether,
vehicle seat belt, and/or LCS strap before
adjusting the recline position. The tether, vehicle
seat belt, and/or LCS strap must be properly re-
tightened after adjusting the recline position.

Infant Body Pillow

The Infant Body Pillow is designed to provide
better fit and comfort for infants using this child
seat. For additional side support, fold the side
flaps inward (Fig. F).
NOTE: Remove the Infant Body Pillow after the
child can sit comfortably in the child seat without additional support.
