G4 series requires use of Versa-Tether in rear facing position

(dependant on vehicle manufacturer)
- Aussie method: the tether strap runs around the top edge of the shell
and connects to the designated forward-facing tether anchor point for the
seating position being used
G4 Rear Facing Tethering
Why do G4 infant-child car seats require tethering rear-facing?
In order to further enhance the margin of safety beyond the regulatory
requirements, Britax is now requiring RF tethering with the G4 infant-child seats.
Tethering a car seat rear-facing is an option and does manage rotation and
energy in a crash. Britax is also working on an option that would be more
convenient for the caregiver.
Will retroactive rear-face tethering be required on the G3 Infant-Child seats?
Retroactive tethering will NOT be required for any Britax G3 infant-child seats.
Is this mandatory on the U.S. G4 seats, or just Canadian seats?
This is mandatory for Canadian G4 infant-child seats only, as the U.S. does not
have a regulation for testing rebound limitations.
Do we have to use a vehicle manufacturer's authorized anchor point?
If a vehicle manufacturer does not support the Swedish method of rear facing
tethering, the option to tether Australian method is available. Any difficulties
getting the child in and out with the Australian method can be overcome by
loosening and retightening the tether. Installation of the car seat on the passenger
side provides the easiest access to the tether adjuster.

$249.99, $339.99, $379.99
FF 25-65lbs, at least 2yrs old
Pioneer does not have HUGS system or “click tight” technology
Britax “ClickTight” technology
The ClickTight system components are located on the lower portion of the seat,
where the child’s lower back makes contact with the seat
Installing a seat that features ClickTight alleviates both the confusion and stress
that may come along with installing your child’s car seat. More specifically,
ClickTight overcomes issues related to:
Lower anchor weight limitations in your vehicle
Achieving a tight installation
Determining which type of seat belt system is in your vehicle
