Installing the Top Tether with the Sit’n’Stroll™
Rear Facing
A top tether provides additional protection for your child. The tether reduces the possibility
of serious head and neck injuries, which can cause lifelong disability or death.
Proper tether anchor hardware is required to securely fasten the top tether of the
Sit’n’Stroll
™
in your vehicle. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for details on tethering
child restraints. Most vehicles have top tether anchor kits available. Contact your vehicle
dealer to obtain the top tether anchor hardware and installation or your vehicle. In many
cases, you will be able to install the hardware yourself. After September 1, 1999, most
new cars will have anchors as standard equipment. Most vans, SUV’s and pickup trucks
will have anchors a year later.
If your vehicle dealer is unable to assist you or you have additional questions, a listing of
telephone numbers and web sites for most vehicle manufacturers is located at the back of
this manual.
