Top Tether

1

•  Sunshine Kids recommends using a tether for rear-facing 

installations to improve stability and performance of the 

restraint. 

•  If vehicle does not have tether anchorage points, consult 

vehicle owner’s manual or contact vehicle manufacturer with 

questions.  Do NOT modify vehicle without approval from 

vehicle manufacturer or authorized vehicle dealer.

•  Do NOT attach tether connecting strap to any movable 

mechanism of a vehicle seat.

•  Angle of rear-facing restraint can be adjusted by tightening 

top tether strap.

WARNING:

In forward-facing installations, attach top tether to approved 

vehicle tether anchorage points ONLY as labeled by vehicle 

manufacturer.

Using Top Tether:

1.  Before installing restraint, remove top tether from storage 

compartment and fully extent tether strap into a ‘V’ shape.

2.  Loosely attach top tether to approved anchorage point in 

vehicle using the hook at end of top tether strap.

See Fig. 1 for forward facing installations.

See Fig. 2 for rear facing installations.
