restraint, then route the tether
strap over the seat-back and

A child seat with a tether can be
installed in any seating position in
the back seat, using one of the

Since a tether can provide additional
security to the lap/shoulder belt

tether whenever one is required or
available. Follow steps 2 and 3 f rom the
previous column. Af ter properly securing the child
seat (see page ), route the
tether strap over the seat-back. Tighten the strap according to the
seat maker’s instructions.
