Tether Use

WARNING: 

Tether straps are required in Canada. Using this 

child restraint without the tether strap anchored as recommend-
ed by the manufacturer would be a misuse of the child restraint 
and, in a sudden stop or crash, could cause serious injury or 
death.

Always attach, adjust, and secure the 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 information. 

If the seating position does not have a tether anchor, use a different 
seating position or see your dealer or a qualified mechanic and have 
one installed. The tether can greatly improve the performance of this 
child restraint. 

To loosen:

 Lift up on tether lock 

adjuster and push it towards tether 
hook.

To tighten: 

After the child restraint is 

locked into place with UAS or vehicle 
belt, push down on child restraint and 
gently pull on free end of tether.

To Adjust Tether Strap:

UAS Installation

1.  

Remove UAS from     

   

    Storage Location 

Or remove from rear-facing belt path if 
UAS was used rear facing.

WARNINGS: 

Do not use the vehicle lap or lap/shoulder 

belt when using the Universal Anchorage System (UAS). 

Check UAS belt before each use. Use only if the belt can be 
tightened properly and securely. 

Do not fasten both UAS connectors on same UAS anchor bar in 
the vehicle.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious injury or 
death. 

Review your vehicle owner’s manual for UAS belt use and UAS 
locations.

the Adjuster Closest to it 
Through the Forward-Facing

Safety Tips

Make sure harness and buckle fit your child correctly before 
installing the child restraint. See pages 3-5.

Experts agree that children should remain rear facing as long as 
possible. In this child restraint, your child can remain rear facing up 
to 18 kg (40 lb) and up to 102 cm (40 in.).
