How to Install an Evenflo Tether Onto a Car Seat

A car seat is a mandatory part of child safety. But the seat alone is not enough. You need to ensure that the car seat is securely anchored to the car so that it does not pitch, slide or fall. An accident is bad enough, but to have a child's car seat cause even more damage would be tragic. Properly installed, the Evenflo tether works with your car's seat belts to keep you car seat in place so that your child is safe.

• 1

  Unclip the tether from the back of the car seat and drape it over the front.

• 2

  Look behind the back seats to locate the tether anchors. Since about 2002, most cars come equipped with tether anchors behind the rear seats. Depending on the car, it may be a loop of fabric or a hook. Check your car's owner's manual to help identify the anchor.

• 3

  Place the car seat in the car and thread the seat belt through the car seat to secure it.

• 4

  Bring the tether toward the tether anchor. Press the button on the tether strap to lengthen it if necessary.

• 5

  Clip the tether to the car's tether anchor.

• 6

  Pull the loose end of the tether strap so that it removes the slack from the tether.
