When the Versa-Tether is being used to install the child seat in your vehicle, any excess webbing should be secured in the attached elastic strap. When the Versa-Tether is not being used to install the seat in your vehicle, it should be stored in the pouch or tether storage compartment on the back of the child seat. To avoid damage or injury, be sure that any excess webbing is contained within your vehicle at all times.

Britax removed rear-face tethering as an option in 2015 to address vehicle compatibility concerns with airbag sensing systems. For previous Britax Convertible car seats that have rear-face tethering in the manuals, those seats have been tested and approved for rear-face tethering, but would require the approval by the automobile manufacturer to allow for Swedish tethering (where an anchor point is created with the tether connector strap under the front vehicle seat). The Australian rear-face tethering method (where the top tether is routed around each side of the convertible to the rear vehicle-designated tether anchor) is also no longer recommended due to the large variety of vehicle anchor locations which often make that method incompatible and inconvenient.

Can crotch rolls and receiving blankets be used with Britax car seats? If the positioning insert provided with the BRITAX car seat does not position the child as needed, it is acceptable to place a rolled receiving blanket on each side of the child for lateral support – once the child is properly secured within the harness as instructed in the user guide. The rolled receiving blankets should not be placed between the child and the harness.
It is not acceptable to use a crotch roll with any BRITAX car seat to position a child.
