Can my Britax convertible (infant/child) car seat be tethered rear-facing?
A. Yes. Britax convertible (infant/child) car seats, such as the Roundabout, Marathon, or Boulevard, may be tethered when installed rear facing. Britax recommends one of two modes of rear-facing tethering: Australian Method: • This method requires the tether hook to be attached to a tether anchorage located to the rear of the vehicle. • Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for tether anchorage locations. • Use the same tether anchors as designated for forward-facing child seats. • This method controls forward rotation of the child seat in front impact crashes. Swedish Method: • This method requires the tether hook be attached to a location to the front of the vehicle. • Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for tether anchor locations. • Do not attach to a tether anchor that is on the same seat as the child restraint system. • Attach to a strong structural point of the seat frame in front, the non-moving track to which the seat in front is attached, or the safety belt anchor of the seat
