Using the Tether

• When using the restraint in forward-facing position, attach

the tether only to tether anchors identified by the vehicle

manufacturer as tether anchorage points. Use of other locations

is not approved or permitted.

• The manufacturer recommends that the tether be used in

forward-facing mode. Using the tether will improve the stability of

the child restraint and reduce the risk of injury.

• If the vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor attachment,

refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle

manufacturer for assistance.

• If tether anchorage is not available, do not modify the vehicle

without advice from the vehicle manufacturer.

• Do not hook the tether to a vehicle seat mechanism!

• The back angle of the child restraint should be approximately 45º

when properly installed in the rear-facing position.
