5. Clip the tether strap to the
anchor as shown.

If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the child safety seat
may not be retained properly in the event of a collision.

6. Install the child safety seat tightly using the LATCH anchors or safety
belts. Follow the instructions in this chapter.

7. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child
being injured in a collision greatly increases.

Attaching child safety seats with LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children) attachments

Some child safety seats have two rigid or web mounted attachments that
connect to two anchors at certain seating positions in your vehicle. This
type of child seat eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the
child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the upper tether strap must
also be attached to the proper tether anchor. See Attaching child safety
seats with tether straps
in this chapter.
