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 forward facing. 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.
