6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child

restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the
vehicle seat.

7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether

anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.

8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the

child seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any
direction.

Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or

Vehicle Seat Belt):

When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap,
up to the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the
lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.

Tether Strap Installation

1. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the

anchor and the child seat.

2. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head

restraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and
between the two posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass the
tether strap around the outboard side of the head restraint.

3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage and

remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
