WARNING
Improper use of tether anchorages or lower
anchorages
can cause
serious
personal injury in a
crash.
•
Always carefully follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions
for proper installation
and
use of
child restraint
systems.
•
Never use the LATCH or tether
anchorages
to attach
safety
belts or other kinds of occupant restraints.
•
Child restraint tether attachments and lower attachments are
only designed to
secure a
child restraint that has been equipped
to use these anchorages
.
•
Tether anchorages
and
lower anchorages
are
designed to
with-
stand
only those loads imposed by
correctly
fitted child restraints.
Under no
circumstances
can they be used
safely
for adult or child
safety
belts or harnesses.
•
Never mount more than one
child
restraint to a
single
tether or
to a lower anchorage point. Attaching two child restraints to a
single
anchorage point can
cause
the
anchorage
to fail and cause
serious
personal injury in a crash.
