7. Connect and tighten tether strap.
Connect the tether hook to the 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.
IMPORTANT:
If your tether strap is too short to reach
from your child restraint to your vehicle tether anchor,
you will need a Tether Extender. Please call ParentLink at

6. Secure the child restraint.
The vehicle seat belt must be as
tight as possible.
Using your full weight, push the
child restraint firmly into the
vehicle seat as you tighten the
vehicle belt. If you can move the
child restraint more than
25 mm (1 in.) side-to-side or
front-to-back at the forward-
facing belt path, the seat belt
is not tight enough, you will
need to try again, or install with
the lower anchor connector
assembly (page
).
• If vehicle seat belts are not routed and fastened correctly,
the child restraint may not protect your child in a crash.
• Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine how to
lock your seat belt for child restraint installation. The seat
belt must be locked to properly secure the child restraint.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint if it moves more than
25 mm (1 in.) side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt
path. Serious injury or death may result from poor
installation. If you can not tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location, or install
with the lower anchor connector assembly (page
).
