Britax Poplar - The Tether as a Crash Indicator

The Tether as a Crash Indicator
Tether anchor locations vary
from vehicle to vehicle. Check
your vehicle owner’s manual
for tether anchor capacities
and look for the tether anchor
symbol shown in the diagram
to help identify where the
tether anchor points are
located in your vehicle.
Figure 1 shows an example
of a tether acceptable for
continued use (provided
the child restraint has not
been involved in a crash).
The colored stitching will be
intact.
Figure 2 shows an example
of when the tether has
been damaged and is
unacceptable for continued
use. If any of the colored
stitching has ripped, the
child restraint is no longer
acceptable for use.
The tether can indicate when the child restraint has
been in a moderate or severe crash (see “Important
Notes” on page 5) and replacement of the child
restraint is necessary.
