5. 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 the section “Installing Child Restraints

Using the Top Tether Anchorage” for directions to

attach a tether anchor.

6. 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.

Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the

belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

If the buckle or the cinching latch plate is too close to the

belt path opening of the child restraint, you may have

trouble tightening the seat belt. If this happens, discon-

nect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short

buckle-end belt up to three full turns to shorten it. Insert

the latch plate into the buckle with the release button

facing out, away from the child restraint. Repeat steps 4

to 6, above, to complete the installation of the child

restraint.
If the belt still cannot be tightened after you shorten the

buckle, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn

the buckle around one half turn, and insert the latch plate

into the buckle again. If you still cannot make the child

restraint installation tight, try a different seating position.
