USE WITH A TETHER STRAP

The most common life-threatening injuries that children sustain in vehicle accidents are head injuries. Even when a child is restrained in a properly installed forward-facing car seat, that child is susceptible to head injuries in vehicle collisions if the head moves forward enough to contact the vehicle interior. An effective way to reduce a child’s forward motion is by the use of an additional top restraint known as a tether strap. Tether straps are highly effective in improving child safety in a vehicle.

Your Safe Embrace® Convertible Car Seat is equipped with a tether strap and tether anchor. The tether anchor must be installed in your vehicle. When the tether strap is fastened to the tether anchor in your vehicle, it will reduce the amount of forward motion your child experi- ences in an accident.

Fisher-Price®urges you to take the time to install a tether anchor in your vehicle. Your child’s safety depends on you!
