After adjusting the top tether strap, you may have
excess strap; DO NOT cut it off. If you do, it may not
be long enough to use in another vehicle. Instead,
tightly roll up the excess tether strap and place the
rubber band around the bundle.
Note: Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the
location of the tether anchor brackets in your vehicle.
Older vehicles may not come equipped with anchor
bracket hardware. Check with your vehicle dealer.
If you have questions regarding tether anchors
which are not addressed by the vehicle owner’s
manual, or answered by an authorized dealer/vehicle
manufacturer call Evenflo’s ParentLink.
