5Pull the adjuster strap to remove all slack.

Rear Facing Tether Connector Strap

IMPORTANT: Only use the tether connector strap (Fig. D) for rear facing tether installation.

Because every vehicle model is different, sometimes you cannot find a location to properly anchor the tether, or the structural part of the seat is too large for the hook. Use the tether connector strap to assist in creating an anchor point.

1Find a fixed vehicle seat belt anchor or vehicle seat leg that is bolted to the floor that the strap can be wrapped

around.

2 Loop the strap around the metal anchor (Fig. D).

3 Take the metal D-ring and thread it through the webbing loop on the other D end of the strap.

4Pull the metal D-ring all the way through until the strap is tight around the metal anchor.

5Use the D-ring as an attachment point for the hook on the tether strap. Refer to pages 23–24 for instructions on using the tether.
