Britax Marathon 70 Instruction Manual

Child Seat Functions
The Versa-Tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a
moderate or severe crash (see page 4) and replacement of the
child seat is necessary.
Figure 1 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 hidden behind the black
foam.
Figures 2 and 3 show examples
of when the child seat is
unacceptable for continued use.
If one or both of the loops have
pulled through the back of the
shell and/or any of the colored
stitching has ripped, the child seat
is no longer acceptable for use.
IMPORTANT: Discontinue use of
child seat if it has been involved
in a moderate or severe crash,
regardless of whether the loops
have pulled through the back
side of the shell and the colored
stitching has been ripped.

Rear-Facing Tether Connector Strap
Because every vehicle model is different, a
location to anchor the tether for rear-facing
installations may vary. Use the rear-facing tether
connector strap to assist in creating an anchor
point.
1 Find a fixed location in the vehicle that is
bolted to the floor.
* If you cannot find a location to create an anchor point, contact the
vehicle manufacturer to identify a tether connection point.
2 Route the strap through the anchor point.
3 Thread the metal D-ring through the loop on the end of the
strap.
4 Pull the metal D-ring through until the strap is tight.
5 Use the D-ring as an
attachment point for the tether.
NOTE: Store the tether connector strap in the tether pouch when
not in use.
