• 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 when not in
use. This will keep an unused tether or tether hook from
hitting someone during a crash.
After adjusting the top 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 bracket in your vehicle.
Older vehicles may not come equipped with anchor
bracket hardware. Check with your vehicle dealer.
If you have questions regarding tether anchors that are
not addressed by the vehicle owner’s manual or
answered by an authorized dealer/vehicle manufacturer,
call Evenflo’s ParentLink at 1-800-233-5921 (U.S.)
or 1-937-773-3971 (Canada), or 01-800-706-12-00
(Mexico).
DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
2.5 cm (1 in.) side-to-side or front to back at the forward-facing belt path.
Serious injury or death may result from poor installation. If you can not
tightly secure the child restraint, try again, move it to another location, or
install with the vehicle seat belt (p. 38 ).
Using your full weight, push the child restraint firmly into the
vehicle seat, while pulling up on the lower anchor connector
strap to tighten.
The lower anchor connector strap must be as tight as
possible. If you can move the child restraint more than
2.5 cm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at the belt path,
the lower anchor connector 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. 38 ). To
remove the lower anchor connector strap, go to p. 52 .
Connect the tether hook
to the vehicle tether
anchor behind the vehicle
seat, as shown. (Please
consult your vehicle
owner’s manual, as
tether anchor locations
may vary.) Pull the strap
and tighten the tether
securely.
