Impact Absorbing Tether
Failure to follow the guidelines below may cause the child
seat not to perform as intended.
• The tether must be used at all times when installing
this child seat forward-facing . Using the tether will
improve the stability of your child seat and reduce the
risk of injury.
• Attach the tether only to tether anchors identified by
your vehicle manufacturer as tether anchorage points.
Only use the designated tether anchor for each seating
position.
• If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or
contact your vehicle man u fac tur er for assistance. DO
NOT modify your vehicle without advice from your
vehicle manufacturer.
• Store the tether in the pouch on the back of the child
seat when not in use. DO NOT install the child seat
with the tether attached to the carry clip.
Tether anchor locations vary from
vehicle to vehicle. Check your
vehicle owner’s manual and look for
the tether anchor symbol shown in
the diagram to help identify where
the top tether anchor points are
located in your vehicle.
Using the Tether
IMPORTANT: Do not use the top tether strap with rear-
facing installations.
To attach the tether to a tether anchor:
1. Firmly press the hook over
the tether anchor point.
2. Pull the loose end of the
webbing to remove slack
from the tether.
NOTE: If the tether is
too short for use in your
vehicle, contact Britax
Consumer Services to
obtain a tether extender.
