Top Tether
Sunshine Kids recommends using a top tether
in all installations to improve stability and
performance of the restraint. Check vehicle
manual for tether limits.
If vehicle does not have tether anchorage points,
consult vehicle owners manual or contact vehicle
manufacturer with questions. Do NOT modify
vehicle without approval from vehicle
manufacturer or authorized vehicle dealer.
Do NOT attach tether connecting strap to any
movable mechanism of a vehicle seat.
Angle of rear-facing restraint can be adjusted
by tightening top tether strap.
WARNING:
In forward-facing installations, attach top
tether to approved vehicle tether anchorage
points ONLY, as labeled by vehicle manufacturer.
ALWAYS use SafeStop with top tether with
forward-facing child under 40 lbs. (see page 26)
Follow vehicle manufacturers stated child weight
limit for top tether use.
Using Top Tether:
1. Before installing restraint, remove top tether from
storage compartment and fully extend tether strap
into a V-shape.
2. Loosely attach top tether to approved anchorage
point in vehicle using the hook at end of top tether
strap.
See Fig. 1 for forward facing installations.
See Fig. 2 for rear facing installations.
Note: Rear facing installation may also require
the use of tether connecting strap (see page 29).
