rings for retaining the Top Tether belt are
marked with an anchor symbol.
● Support bracket: Some child seats rest on
the floor of the vehicle with a support brack-

seat from tipping forward in the event of im-

should only be used in the passenger seat

this type of seat you should also consult the
list of approved vehicles for this assembly,
available in the instructions for child restraint
