NEVER ATTACH A FORWARD FACING TETHER TO A LOCA-
TION THAT IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY YOUR VEHICLE
MANUFACTURER OR TO A LOCATION THAT YOU BELIEVE
IS INCORRECT OR NOT STRONG ENOUGH. IF THE TETHER
COMES LOOSE IN A CRASH, THE METAL HOOK CAN FLY
AROUND AND INJURE SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE.

THE TOP TETHER MUST BE USED FOR CHILDREN HEAVIER
THAN 50 lbs.

Britax recommends that the tether be used at all times. Using
the tether will improve the stability of your child restraint and
reduce the risk of injury.
