LATCH Installation

Always attach, adjust, and secure the top anchorage
(tether) strap when installing the child restraint forward
facing. Tethers improve the installation and stability of
child restraints and reduce the risk of injury.
Attach the tether hook to the tether anchor designated
by your vehicle manufacturer for that seating position.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual for more informa-
tion.
If the seating position does not have a tether anchor,
use a different seating position or see your dealer or a
qualifi ed mechanic and have one installed. The tether
can greatly improve the performance of this child re-
straint.

Lift up on tether lock
adjuster and push it towards
tether hook.
To tighten:
After the child
restraint is locked into place
with LATCH or vehicle belt, push
down on child restraint and
