The Tether as a Crash Indicator
The tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a
moderate or severe crash (see "Important Notes" on page
5) and replacement of the child seat is necessary.
Figure 1 shows a tether
acceptable for continued use
(provided the child seat has
not been involved in a crash).
The colored stitching will be
intact and not visible from the
back of the seat.
Figure 2 shows examples
of when the tether has been
damaged and is unacceptable
for continued use. If one or
both of the loops have pulled
through the back of the shell
and/or any of the colored
stitching has ripped, the child
seat is no longer acceptable
for use.
IMPORTANT: Discontinue use of child seat if it has been
involved in a moderate or severe crash, regardless of
whether the loops have pulled through the back side of the
shell and the colored stitching has been ripped.

Vehicle Seating Positions

DO NOT place child seat rear-facing
in the front seat of a vehicle with
a passenger air bag. DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY can occur. Owners
of vehicles with front passenger side
airbags should refer to their owner's
manual for child restraint installation
instructions. The back seat is the
safest place for children 12 and under.
Some vehicles have no seating positions which are
compatible with this child seat. If in doubt, contact the
vehicle manufacturer for assistance.
Forward-facing vehicle seats MUST be used with this
child seat. Side-facing or rear-facing seats CANNOT be
used. See the diagram below.
