With ISOFIX fastening and TopTether
anchoring (universal)
The advantage of using TopTether
The DUO plus version with TopTether
makes an additional stabilising connection
possible between the child seat fastened
with ISOFIX and the vehicle seat, thus
reducing the injury risk even further.
The DUO plus can thus be used in all vehi-
cles with ISOFIX and TopTether anchoring
systems without specific vehicle approval.
Observe the instruction in your vehicle
Owner's Manual.
TopTether is located in a fabric pocket on
the top rear edge of the seat shell on your
DUO plus. If you have purchased a DUO
plus without TopTether, you can buy it as
accessory from your specialist shop.
TopTether anchoring in the vehicle
If your vehicle is equipped with TopTether
anchoring, this will be located in one of the
following positions:
• on the rear shelf
• on the floor behind the backrest
• on the rear of the backrest
Please observe the recommendations of
your vehicle manual. Do not modify your
vehicle by drilling or bolting something in.
Never fasten TopTether to a location un-
less this has been recommended by the ve-
hicle manufacturer. If TopTether comes
loose in a crash, there is a danger of injury
to the vehicle passengers.
After adjusting the shoulder belts (see
Adjusting the shoulder belts page 47)
fasten the child seat with ISOFIX and
TopTether as follows:
