If a secure installation cannot be obtained, try another seating position or install with the vehicle seat belt.
Local Child passenger safety technicians can be located on the SafeKids website. If the vehicle and car seat prescribe two different maximum child-weight capacities, use of lower anchors should be discontinued at the lower of the two weight capacities. Weight capacity for tether anchor use could be different than for lower anchors, especially when a vehicle seat belt is used to install a car seat. Vehicles typically have three tether anchors.
The tether on forward-facing car seats and some rear-facing car seats can be attached to the tether anchor in a vehicle.

The tether strap is typically located on the upper part of the back of the car seat. Parents should read the car seat user guide to understand how the tether works. The safest seating position for your child in any vehicle is in the back seat.
If a back seat position is not available, keep these tips in mind:. For details on the type of seat belt system in your vehicle, consult your vehicle owner's manual. It is important to follow the directions provided with the car seat AND the vehicle in order to achieve a proper installation. After installation, grasp the seat near the belt path to check for excessive movement.
Excessive movement is described as movement of more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.

Britax Marathon Thread starter crunchierthanthou Start date Jun 28, I have to run, but can anyone track down any pics? Although the Marathon name stays the same this is totally changed and improved from the original Britax Marathon Car Seat.
New Features: Goes up to 40 lbs rear facing and 70 lbs forward facing. Features a new and improved EPP foam. Features a color coded lock system that is not currently in place on the original Marathon. Low gravity control to minimize impact.
This feature makes the New Marathon 70 and all the new britax seats the only car seat that passed the tether test without actually using a tether. Most consumers dont use the tether! So now you can have that safety easily! No Thread Adjusting. The new seat straps can be adjusted to all sizing without re threading the straps! New black plastic shell will extend the expiration on the car seat from 6 years to 7 years as the UV rays of the sun do not affect it. Click to expand I can't find any.
Heading off to work now. I want stock pics! Comments about the tether annoy me. Sunshine Kids passes without the tether. We know this for a fact since they actually release their numbers. Why would Britax blatantly lie like that? It makes me unhappy. Isn't there two different cutoffs for passing?
