BRITAX Child Safety, Inc.
NOTE: The tether carry clip is
only for use when you wish to
carry the child seat between
locations. When used as a
carry strap, tighten until the
strap is comfortable to carry.
Do not install the child seat
with the tether attached to
the carry clip.
Secure the excess tether webbing in the elastic strap during
use. Store the tether in the storage pouch when not in use.
Always ensure any excess webbing is contained within your
vehicle.
The Tether as a Crash Indicator
The tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a
moderate or severe crash (see "Important Notes" on page
5) and replacement of the child seat is necessary.
Figure 1 shows a tether
acceptable for continued use
(provided the child seat has
not been involved in a crash).
The colored stitching will be
intact and not visible from the
back of the seat.

Figure 2 shows examples
of when the tether has been
damaged and is unacceptable
or
for continued use. If one or
both of the loops have pulled
through the back of the shell
and/or any of the colored
2
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.
