Quick Frontier Question

I can't remember if the Frontier can be used w/o a tether. DS is 40 lbs. I might need to use the seat untethered today.

ETA.. From the manual I gather than it is not mandatory until 65 lbs... have I read this right?

Correct, the tether is mandatory with the Frontier in harnessed mode at 65 lbs. and up. Strongly recommended if possible at lower weights, but you knew that already no doubt. :)

Yes it's not required until 65lbs UNLESS you are using LATCH to install. It is required when using LATCH at all times from what I gather from the manual.


Here is the info from pg. 13 of the manual....

WARNING:
• Attach the Versa-Tether only to tether anchors identified by your vehicle
manufacturer as tether anchorage points.
• If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor attachment, refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual or contact your vehicle manufacturer
for assistance. DO
NOT modify your vehicle without advice from your vehicle manufacturer.
When using the child seat in harness mode:
• Britax recommends that the tether be used at all times when installing the child
seat. Using the tether will improve the stability of your child seat and reduce
the risk of injury.
• Always use the Versa-Tether for children weighing 65 – 80 lbs (29.5 – 36.3 kg).
IMPORTANT: You must use the Versa-Tether if installing the child seat
using the LATCH connectors.
