Child Seat Functions
Impact Absorbing Tether
The tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a moderate
or severe crash and replacement of the child seat is necessary.
Figure 1 shows the tether when the child seat is acceptable for
continued use (provided the child
seat has not been involved in a
crash). The colored stitching will
be intact and the webbing will be
held under a tether label.
Figures 2 and 3 show examples
of when the child seat is
unacceptable for continued use.
If the tether label is torn, or if one
or both of the loops have pulled
through the back side of the shell
and/or any of the colored stitching
has ripped, the child seat is no
longer acceptable for use.
IMPORTANT: Discontinue use of
child seat if it has been involved
in a moderate or severe crash,
regardless of whether the loops
have pulled through the back
side of the shell and the colored
stitching has been ripped.
