Options For Securing A Car Seat, continued:
2. Vehicle Seat Belt and Top Tether Strap:
If your vehicle does not have the LATCH System, the car seat MUST be secured to the vehicle
using a vehicle seat belt and top tether strap as required.
Check vehicle owner’s manual for seating locations recommended for car seat use and location
of top tether anchorages.
NOTE:
Tether strap should always be used when a tether anchor is available.
The tether is used for both rear-facing and forward-facing use.
Top Tether Information:
If a top tether anchor is not available in your vehicle, the car seat
MUST
be secured with only the vehicle seat belt until a top tether anchor can be
installed. For those passenger vehicles or buses where top tether anchors
are not available, the car seat may be used without the top tether
provided a secure installation can be achieved.
When not in use, store top tether and LATCH lower anchor belt by
snapping onto back of base
