8. Before having a child sit in the child restraint system, try to move it back and forth and right and left to check if it is firmly secured. Sometimes a child restraint system can be more firmly secured by pushing it down into the seat cushion. It should not be possible to move the child restraint system more than 1 in( 2.5 cm).
Since a tether can provide additional stability by offering another connection between a child restraint system and the vehicle, we recommend that you use a tether whenever one is required or available. Tether anchor location:
