Install with the LUAS as shown above.
Before You Begin:
Check that your vehicle has lower anchors.
* Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their lower
anchors. Use vehicle belt (not lower connectors) for installations
with children who weigh more than the vehicle lower anchor limit.
Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume
a 18.1 kg (40 pound) child is the vehicle lower anchor limit.
Remove the lower connectors from the storage slots in the
base. Press the adjuster release button and pull the strap to full
length. Repeat for the second strap.
Recline this child seat to position 3 and place rear-facing on the
vehicle seat (see page 15).
* When properly installed in the rear-facing
position, the back angle of the child seat

Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether is 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 tether anchor locations. See page 18 for possible rear-facing
tether configurations.
