To remove the tether from a tether anchor:
1. Loosen the tether.
a. Tilt the adjuster tab up.
b. Pull the tether webbing.
2. Remove the tether hook
from the tether anchor.
NOTE: The tether carry clip is
only for use when you wish to
carry the child seat between
locations. When used as a
carry strap, tighten until the
strap is comfortable to carry.
Do not install the child seat
with the tether attached to
the carry clip.
Secure the excess tether webbing in the elastic strap during
use. Store the tether in the storage pouch when not in use.
Always ensure any excess webbing is contained within your
vehicle.
The Tether as a Crash Indicator
The tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a
moderate or severe crash (see “Important Notes” on page 5)
and replacement of the child seat is necessary.
Figure 1 shows an example of
a tether when the child seat is
acceptable for continued use
(provided the child seat has not
been involved in a crash). The
colored stitching will be intact.
Figure 2 shows an example
of when the tether has
been damaged and is
unacceptable for continued
use. If any of the colored
stitching has ripped, the child
seat is no longer acceptable
for use.
IMPORTANT: Discontinue use of child seat if it has been
involved in a moderate or severe crash, regardless of
whether the loops have pulled through the back side of the
shell and the colored stitching has been ripped.
