A. Yes. BRITAX convertible (infant/child) car seats, such as the ROUNDABOUT 55, MARATHON 70, BOULEVARD 70, BOULEVARD 70 CS, and ADVOCATE 70 CS 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 attach
