BRITAX Child Safety, Inc.

Impact Absorbing Tether

Failure to follow the guidelines below may cause the
child seat not to perform as intended.
• BRITAX recommends that the tether be used at all
times when installing the child seat. Using the tether
will improve the stability of your child seat and reduce
the risk of injury.
• Attach the tether only to tether anchors identified by
your vehicle manufacturer as tether anchorage points.
Only use the designated tether anchor for each seating
position.
• If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, refer to your vehicle owner's manual or
contact your vehicle man u fac tur er for assistance. DO
NOT modify your vehicle without advice from your
vehicle manufacturer.
• Store the tether in the pouch on the back of the child
seat when not in use. DO NOT install the child seat with
the tether attached to the carry clip.
Tether anchor locations vary from
vehicle to vehicle. Check your vehicle
owner's manual and look for the tether
anchor symbol shown in the diagram
to help identify where the top tether
anchor points are located in your
vehicle. See the diagrams below for
possible rear and forward-facing tether
installation configurations.
Tether Configurations
(A) Rear Facing
Rear-Facing Tether Connector Strap
Because every vehicle model is different, locations to
anchor the tether for rear-facing installations may vary. Use
the rear-facing tether connector strap to assist in creating an
anchor point for rear-facing configuration "A" above.
1. Find a fixed location in the vehicle that is bolted to the
floor. If you cannot find a location to create an anchor
point, contact the vehicle manufacturer to identify a
tether connection point.
2. Route the strap through the anchor point.
