Orbit recommends using the Tether at all
times while Forward-Facing if you have a
LATCH Tether anchorage in your car; using
the Tether will improve the stability of the
child restraint and will reduce risk of injury.
The Tether should only be used when the
child restraint is Forward-Facing. The
Tether should only be anchored to approved
Anchorage points, some tether anchors are
identifi ed by a tether anchor symbol (Photo
S); check your vehicle owner’s manual for
locations and more information. Older cars
may not have Tether Anchorage points. The
Toddler Car Seat should be fully installed
BEFORE attaching the Tether.
1. If the Tether is not already unclipped and
fully out of the Rear Access Panel, open
the Panel and unclip the Tether Hook
from the plastic D-ring (Photo T).
2. Close the Panel with the Tether Strap
extending out from its slot (Photo U).
3. Determine the shortest path from the
child restraint to the Tether Anchorage.

This may involve raising the headrest so
the Tether belt travels directly over the
top of the seat (Photo V).
4. Clip the Tether Hook to the Tether
Anchorage (Photo W). For more slack,
push down on the grey pushbutton
adjuster and loosen the strap.
5. Once the Tether Hook is clipped, pull
on the adjuster loop to remove all slack
from the Tether (Photo X).
6. Verify that the Tether is tight by pulling
forward on the top of the child restraint.
It should not move more than one inch.
7. To remove the Tether, push in on
the Tether buckle’s grey pushbutton
adjuster and loosen the Tether.
8. Unclip the Tether hook and replace it
in the Rear Access Panel. Clip it to
the secured D-ring and store excess
webbing in the pocket inside the Rear
Access Panel.
