Lower Anchor Belt Installation
Tether Use
You MUST always attach,
adjust, and secure the top
anchorage (tether) strap when installing
the child restraint forward facing with
internal harness. Tethers improve
the installation and stability of child
restraints and reduce the risk of injury.
Attach the tether hook to the tether
anchor designated by your vehicle
manufacturer for that seating position.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual
for more information. If the seating
position does not have a tether anchor,
use a different seating position or see
your dealer or a qualified mechanic
and have one installed.
WARNING: Do not fasten multiple
tether hooks on the same tether
anchor in the vehicle.
Adjusting Tether Strap
To tighten: After the child
restraint is locked into
place with lower anchor
belt or vehicle belt, push
down on child restraint
and gently pull on free end
of tether.
To loosen: Lift up on teth-
er lock adjuster and push
it towards tether hook.
