CLICK! 

Test for tightness. 

If you can move the child restraint 

more than 2.5 cm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at 

the rear-facing belt path, the lower anchor connector 

assembly strap is not tight enough.  

You will need to try again, find another location for  

your child restraint, or install with the vehicle seat  

belt (p. 

45).

Re-attach the seat pad.

•  Failure to follow these instructions could result in  

serious injury to your child or other vehicle occupants.

•  The tether strap is for 

forward-facing use only

.

•  To avoid a strangulation hazard, you 

MUST

 tightly roll 

or fold excess tether strap and secure with the strap/

rubber band.

•  Attach the tether hook to the storage clip on the seat 

when not in use (

rear-facing mode only

). This will 

keep an unused tether or tether hook from hitting 

someone during a crash.

After adjusting the tether strap, you may have excess strap; 

DO NOT

 cut it off. If you do, it may not be long enough 

to use in another vehicle. Instead, tightly roll up the excess 

tether strap and place the rubber band around the bundle.

Note:

 Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the location 

of the tether anchor in your vehicle. Older vehicles may not 

come equipped with tether anchor hardware. Check with 

your vehicle dealer. 

•  The Tether Strap 

MUST

 be used when installing this child 

restraint forward-facing with a vehicle seat belt if a Tether 

Anchor is available.

•  If your Tether Strap is too short to reach from your child 

restraint to your Tether Anchor, you will need a Tether 

Extender. Please call Parentlink at 1-800-233-5921 (U.S.) 

or 1-937-773-3971 (Canada), or 01-800-706-12-00 

(Mexico).
